Simple repair. Remove 6 screws to remove old grill and replace with the new grill using the old screws.

Unscrewed 4 different screws, replaced the vent & returned screws. Ack to original positions

replaced the socket per recommendations on this web site. this did not correct the problem.

We took a chance on the less expensive black Whirlpool vent grille as I found online that it would fit our stainless steel Kitchenaid microwave. My husband was able to pry the stainless cover off the broken grille and snap it onto the new black one. Then just screw in the top screws to secure. We are very happy with the stainless/black of the new setup. It goes very well with the stainless/black of the cooktop and oven.

removed perimeter screws from the bottom side and the lower cover is hinged at the wall side. Motor is visible and easily removed with two screws. Take of the old one, install the new one, and reverse the procedure to put the bottom cover back in place. Will nee helper to hold one side of the bottom until couple of screws can be put in on the other side.

Unscrewed glass panel, removed old bulb, cleaned glass panel and installed new bulb. Screwed panel back into place.

Ordered a new motor. Removed the outside trim of the oven-microwave combo. 2 screws at the bottom of the trim. Removed the screws that held the combination micro and oven unit in place. Removed the top and bottom black plastic grill of the microwave. 3 screws each. Pulled the entire unit out about 1 inch exposing the screws at each side of the microwave that hold it in place.
Snapped off the top control panel which exposed the wiring connecting the control panel.
Unplugged a couple of wire harness units to free the control panel.
Be sure to label the units to know which goes where during reassembly.
Remove the microwave unit from the housing and place it on its side.
Remove the metal plate that houses the motor. 4 screws hold the motor in place. Disconnect the 2 wires from the old motor and you are ready to install the new motor. Be sure to TURN OFF THE POWER to the unit at the breaker box and remove the turntable from inside the microwave.

After removing the over-the-range unit (no small feat!) I had to figure out how to open the case (good puzzle!). Capacitor had already discharged, so it was very easy to reach in, pop the old fuse and install the new one! As per your advice, I found out I was a "28%-er"! Upon re-installation, the microwave "sprang to life"!! Thanks, "Part Select"!! I was already shopping around for a new machine! (Now if you could only tell me an easier way to re-mount this heavy beast over the stove!!!)

Took out the turntable parts to ensure I ordered the correct cooking tray. Matching those with photos of related parts on PartSelect worked great. Put turntable drive and support ring in place and cooking tray went in very easily. Plan to order a second one to have on hand for this rental property.

My vent grill fer me microwave done and fell off.

The most difficult part was getting the old screw out of the top of the grille. Once that was accomplished, the rest was easy as can be. I would highly recommend your service - very good! Thank you!

The part came very quick less than a week. The installation took less than 15 minutes.

Easy to do. Remove the old screws where the tabs had been broken off. Install new vent and replace screws. MAKE SURE THE TABS ON THE BOTTOM ARE IN THE SLOTS.

Placed to new grille on the microwave and attached
with the screws.
