All Installation Instructions for Whirlpool Microwave MH3184XPS4

machine was dead.

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!!!)

Microwave had no electrical

I was sent the wrong fuse by you. I had to procure a fuse in another manner. Very disappointing. The repair was simple. It just took longer because of the failure to send the correct fuse.

Microwave had parts missing

At first we thought we had ordered the wrong part. We bought a bank owed house which had alot of problems. The micowave was built in so the previous owners didn't take it. The vent cover was was missing . After closer examination we realied we had the vent upside down and it snapped right in to place. Looks so much better without the hole.
