All Installation Instructions for Maytag Microwave SMV9165SC

Microwave stopped working - would not heat up

I removed the outer cover and exposed the inner workings. I watched a video on partselect.com to show how to remove and replace the Diode. I followed the instructions and it was very easy to replace.

Unfortunately, the diode was only part of the issue. I ended up replacing the High Voltage capacitor and Magnetron also. Those were a little more complicated but still easy to do.

Now the Microwave works just like new! Cost me less than $100 for all parts.

Parts Used:

High-Voltage Diode

The plastic door key (latch) broke where the spring attaches.

I took off the inner plastic frame of the door, removed the broken part, hooked the spring up to the new latch and replaced it into the proper alignment holes, and works perfectly. It was less than a 5 minute repair.

Door Latch Broken - Door Did Not Close

Got part from you in one day - great- watched utube video on removing molding and reinstalling. Video was longer than time to fix all need to do was remove molding and install the door latch - it is made of plastic with a hook on which to attach spring. Hook breaks and therefore door does not close

Turntable motor would not turn food tray

Replaced with new motor from Parts Select. Part was a correct replacement for the old one. perfect fit. Works like it did when it was new. I will recommend Parts Select to anyone. Thank you very much. I would definitely use your company again in the future. I saved $30 by not using parts from GE.

The door on microwave would not stay shut.

Called Maytag regarding the latch. Was told I had to order an entire new door that would cost around $170 before shipping and handling. Went on partselect and foundt he part for $2.02. Big difference in price. Very easy to install. Hardest part was getting the spring back on. Would definitely recommend to friends.
