YKHMS1850SS1 KitchenAid Microwave - Instructions

Set in place and installed 2 screws. Took less than 5 min.

Replacement was easy as outlined in the microwave manual.

easy to replace, just the same as cleaning the turntable and placing back in the micorwave;

Replaced bulbs easily.

Remove the two screws to the plastic vent strip at the top of the unit. That exposes a metal cover (upper right) held in place by two more screws. (Found that removing the screw holding the key panel in place and moving that out of the way made for more work room) Remove the metal cover. The HV diode (visible) on one end is secured to the chassis by a screw. The other end is fitted to the HV capacitor. So unscrew one end and pull the HV diode off the capacitor. The replacement fits on like the old one came off. Very simple repair. But it would be safe to short the capacitor terminals to the chassis first. Noticed that it appeared the sparking was caused by the HV diode's outer casing being worn by the asbestos covered wire next to it and laying against it. I made sure the two were not touching, before putting the covers back on. Also, the problem started with an occasional spark when the MW started. It quickly deteriorated to a full, non-stop electrical sparking. You can hear it, smell it, and see it through the top vent. You don't need to remove unit to work on it.

Removed old screws and pieces of plastic. Replaced new grill vent with old screws. Could not have been any easier

All it took was 2 screws and it was done - could not have been simpler.

Remove two screws, remove grill/bracket, replace grill/bracket, replace two screws and your done. Recycle if You Can.

Replacement of new vent grille took less than 5 minutes. I just wished Kitchen Aid made a product that lasted longer than 3 years. My part arrived very quickly, less than a week. Service was great and so was your price. I had no problem locating a replacement part. Kitchen Aid would not give me the parts number so I did not know if I was order the right part. But you photo really helped to narrow the correct part. Thanks

Looked up the Whirlpool Co. and ordered the part. It was quite simple. Arrived in 2 days and I simply placed it in the microware. It was very very easy!

This wasn't really a repair, just an replacement of the filters, which is a regular maintenance requirement.

Opened door and put new plate in.
