MHE10RXQ0 Roper Microwave - Instructions

It was a bit awkward because the microwave is mounted over my stove. I had to twist around and install the bulb and then replace the cover. It was a bit uncomfortable. It took me about 10 minutes to complete.

Piece of cake. One screw to release the dropdown light diffuser. Just remember, the you're screwing the new bulb in from a reverse perspective. Also this site sends the correct part the first time.

First removed the inner trim "ring" (actually rectangular) from the inside of the door. Popped out with a slot-head screwdriver and fingers. Then removed what was left of the original handle with a Phillips screwdriver and vice grips. Saved the mounting screws (two). Mounted the new handle with the screws, replaced the inner trim, and pressed in the trim plate on the handle. Took about 5 minutes in all.

Called parts select and discussed the situation and they identified the correct replacement shelf. When I received it, I just pushed it into place (the edges of the shelf are coated with a rubber seal) and it is there. The unit looks like new. It was great to be able to find a part for an appliance from 1988!

Put s pot under were you take the screw out.If you drop it you can get it easy

Really easy for a 75-year old female; just spent more time reading the online manual than actually installing the light bulbs to find out where to access the light bulbs.

Turn off power supply at breaker . Replace old bulb with new bulb .

We needed a phillips head screw driver to remove the single screw holding the light bulb cover in place.
Removing the old bulbs was a little work, because they had come loose from the sockets. We unplugged the microwave, so we could grip the sockets with a tool. I think my husband used a needle nose plier for this.
The new bulbs screwed in easily, and then we refastened the light bulb cover with the phillips head screw driver.

Removed old handle and screwed on the new one. I had to remove the plugs hiding the screwes but other than that everything went well.

Spouse just screwed in the new bulb and reinstalled the light cover plate with the two screws. Took under a minute. Works great.

Husband replaced the bulb

Removing the old broken handle difficult, screws fell in hollow part of door.

Watched a you tube video prior to installing new switch. Followed the video which gave me confidence i was up to the task. After removing the touch pad I found my design was not exactly like the you tube model but I found the defective switch, replaced it and put the microwave back together. Works great. Again watch the videos

Third time I had to do it. For some reason the handle breaks on this model. The unit is 16 year old. It was one of the first over oven microwaves (built in)ever made. Just remove cover panel with a bread knife. Then use a phillips screw driver and your done. Put the cover panel back on and this microwave has been a work-horse for the past 16 years and still ticking.
