Part #350930
Appliance spray paint is a great way to cover up any chips and scratches that have appeared on your appliances. Instead of replacing the part entirely, this is an easy fix. This is also a great way to give a fresh new look to any handles or areas that have discoloring due to wear. Make sure to clean the area before you begin and wear a protective mask for safety. Give the can a good shake and spray a few inches away from the surface. Apply the paint until the area is fully covered as desired. Wait until the paint has dried before using the appliance.

Part #72032
This authentic OEM black touch-up paint is specifically designed for repairing minor scratches, chips, or blemishes on your kitchen appliances. The bottle contains 16ml or 0.6oz of black paint and has an applicator brush under the cap, the same way a nail polish bottle is designed. Restoring these visible damages is important because cracked or chipped surfaces can become a breeding ground for dirt and bacteria. If your existing bottle of paint has a thick or clumpy consistency, do not use it. Remember to shake the bottle before applying the paint to your appliance. Please keep in mind that this bottle is sold individually.

Scratches in Surface

This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

The microwave is the upper unit of combination microwave & conventional oven. Disconnect power to the unit. Slide unit out of built-in cabinet to expose the top shield of the microwave. Remove 5 screws holding top cover in place. Remove cover, which exposes the belt reel and drive motor. Install the new belt by threading it on the dr ive motor pulley, then walk the new belt on the stirrer pulley. Replace the top cover and reinstall the 5 screws. Reinstall the combination unit in the wall cabinet. Reconnect electrical power. Task Complete. The belt just seem to die of old age about every seven year. Without the wave disperser operating, the microwave oven does not give even heating.
