So easy even I could do it… the wife ??
We needed a new vent grille for our stainless steal microwave. The new grille arrived within a few days and was in excellent condition and matched the microwave perfectly. The installation was just a matter of inserting the bottom part in the slotted area and fastening two screws at the top. So so easy. Very happy with the entire process. Ordering was easy, delivery was fast and installation was super easy,

Easy to repair
Somehow the plastic broke off on the old one, but it was 40 years old, so no complaints here!

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
While attempting to get some from the cabinet above my microwave, a guest accidently pulled on the top grill vent and caused the plastic screw tap to crack and break leaving the grill vent hanging.
I first went back Lowe's where I purchased my microwave in the hopes they would help in the ordering of the grill vent for my mircrowave. They advised me that they do not order parts and gave me a card of a company to call to order the part. I called the number on the card and was left on hold for 20 minutes then instead of helping me wit
... Read moreh the part I needed they proceeded to set up an appointment for someone in my local area to come to my home, order the part the later install. I knew that it was just 2 screws and bottom snaps to install and I didn't want to wait a week for someone to come to my home. I then went direct to the Whirlpool web-site and found "Partselect.com". I was unable to match my model# even though my microwave was only 13 months old but knew it was probably interchangeable with another so I then called "Partselect.com" and was just amazed at how helpful and knowledgeable the gentleman on the other end was. He found my part and was very patient in describing it to me to assure that it was the correct one. I was on the phone less than 10 minutes with him. The part came in 3 days and was the correct part:) It took me less than 5 minutes to gently snap the 2 bottom tabs in and screw in the left and right tabs on top. Thank you so much "Partselect.com" for making what could have been a timely and expensive part replacement be so very simply and inexpensive.

Your part number 6 looks like the cover over my microwave door, but it measures 29 3/4” wide and is 3” tall. Is this the right part?

Where does the charcoal filter go and does the vent grill not have a lid/top?
For model number WMH1163VS-1
Hi Eva, thank you for your inquiry. The charcoal filter, part number PS1871363, is located behind the vent grille at the top front of the microwave oven. You may need to unscrew and open the vent grille to gain access to the charcoal filter. The vent grille does not have any lid or top. Glad to be of assistance!
Where is the vent grill located on my microwave so i can replace the charcoal filter. Everyone is saying its' easy but looking at my microwave i can't locate.
For model number WMH1164XWS1
Hi Frances,
That is a good question. The vent grille is located above the door and control panel on your microwave. I hope this helps. Thanks and have a great day!

So I checked on my rental and found that there was grease on the cabinets and walls and ceiling above the microwave. I noticed that the vent grille didn't have anything directing the venting away from the cabinet, or filtering it. Is there not a filter or some type of vents that go on top of the vent grille part #6 in the diagram???
For model number WMH3205XVS2
Hi Chris,
Thank you for the question. It sounds like you need to replace the Grease filter. This is a grease filter and the purpose of this part is to be used in conjunction with your ventilation system. Your grease filter will trap grease and help eliminate odors from the exhaust air while cooking.This model is silver and sold individually. Note that most microwaves require two. The filter is located on the bottom of the microwave.
Hope this helps!
