After that the side panel slips down and off. the fuse is located in the rear near where the power cord comes in. It is the white ceramic tube 1/4" in dia. and 1-1/2" long. Pull it out like any fuse and replace with new one. Reassemble and you are done!

Plastic clip caused the rack to arc to the side of the cavity.
Pulled out the old clip and pushed in the new one. Only tool was my fingers and took about 20 seconds. This was after the Sear's web page said the part was no longer available and no replacement was listed.

Thanks to partselect.com I saved the microwave for another couple years.

burned oven bulb
The hardest part was taking out original light bulb because screws on shield where hard to unscrew after all this years . The old bulb vent out leaving neck in socket. It took narrow electrical pliers to get neck out .The generic appliance bulb did not fit and had aluminum neck ,not recommended for brass sockets in ovens.Putting new light bulb in was not the problem.
