Stirrer Fan Cover WB06X10712

I used a flat screwdriver blade to push out the rivet. Then used the screwdriver to loosen the fan cover and gave it a little twist. It came out with no problem. There was some grease build up on the aluminum fan, so I cleaned it. I placed the clean fan into the new fan cover and put it back in place in the microwave. There are several notches to match up, and then I gave it a slight twist to secure the notches. Then, the new rivet was put into the hole and pushed to make it secure. Finished!

Simple fix. Prayed old off with flathead screwdriver. Installed new in less than 2 minutes.

Use a butter knife to pop small plastic pin out and turn to remove. Used the metal pinwheel from old one and placed it back up in the microwave. Never heard of this being possible, but it seems to happen per the website and many other comments.

1. Removed the plastic rivet holding the stirrer fan cover in place.
2. Slipped a small pry bar under the cover to allow room to grip the cover and pull it out of its setting.

This repai me couldn’t have been simpler! I noticed that the stirrer fan cover on our microwave had melted areas. My husband suggested we just buy a new microwave. As the handywoman of the family, I searched online to see if it was a fix that I could handle. I ordered a part for less than $20 and fixed it in about 30 seconds! All I had to do was pop out the plastic screw, put the fan in the new cover, and pop it back into place!

Son was able to remove the melted part and install the new one with no problem.
