The microwave door would not stay latched, so it wouldn't come on.
The repair was easy, I just took off a few screws and found the broken latch spring. The real story is how easy it was to find the replacement spring from Partselect! I couldn't believe they had it, and even better yet, I ordered it one afternoon, and it came the next day with normal shipping! Unbelievable! Then I just popped it in and replaced the covers I had removed and it was working again!

Broken Vent Grill
My daugher used the vent grill on the microwave as a handhold while putting dishes away in the cupboard and broke it. I found the part via the Whirlpool website. When the part arrived I removed the two screws, placed the new vent grill in place and replaced the screws. Total time: About 10 minutes.

vent grill had manufacturing flaw
A plastic tab, 1 of 3, on the plastic replacement vent grill had to be hand filed to make it fit in the slot on the microwave. The other 2 were fine. It is an obvious quality control issue from the manufacturer's injection mold or inspection process that allowed the extra plastic to remain on the tab.
