KOCE507ESS02 KitchenAid Microwave - Instructions

Ordered a new one, put it in place in less than one minute.

This was easy to replace. I removed the oven door for easier access to the back of the oven. Removed two Phillips head screws that hold the burner element and disconnected the two wires on the burner element. I could have left the wires connected, but it was easier to extract the sensor with it out of the way. The only difficulty was fishing the sensor connector out through the hole. After that, easy peezy.

REMOVED PANEL COVER [ 4 SCREWS]
UNSCREWED 2 SCREWS ON LATCH DOOR
ON THIS MODEL THE PART WAS IN TOO TIGHT OF QUARTERS SO I HAD TO LOOSEN A TOP PANEL SO I COULD RAISE PART HIGH
ENOUGH TO RELEASE IT FROM A CATCH AT THE BACK OF THE PART. PUSH PART BACK, RAISE AND PULL FORWARDS.

We bought a really nice microwave for about 1/3rd of the MSRP, but it was an open box item and when we got it home we found that it was missing a bracket on the inside of the microwave. We were able to replace the bracket easily thanks to partselect.com.

Set the new one inside the microwave

Part arrived in timely manner and placed it in microwave oven.

Didn't need sensor replaced. After turning the breaker switch back on oven appeared to be working fine.

The part is pushed against the ceiling into an opening and then turned 90 degree. That is is.

I tryed to remove the sensor from the oven by removing the screws inside the oven. Unfortunatly, the plug for the sensor would not reach the inside of the oven. I had to remove the oven from the wall and remove the back cover to ac3ess the sensor wiring.
After that it was a snap.

removed unit from cabinet tested switch it was OK checked wiring and found shorted out wire leading to switch. cut out bad section and spliced wire back together
problem solved

Fool proof.

Just put it in

We ordered element support 3 times and all three times it came broken. The part is made of porcelain and is fragile , representative asked warehouse to pack it in the box and part still came in envelope.
Requested refund and ordered directly from factory.
