So easy but pricey
I panicked when the plastic around the screws cracked and the vent fell on the floor. I calmed down and found your site to order the new grille. It was here in three days and so easy to put on. Thankfully good as new. A little pricey though.

Easy Repair with a quality part.
The part came fast and exactly as described. It was easy to connect by inserting tabs on the bottom and attaching two screws on the top.

Easy as pie!
This great grandmother of 7 had the vent grille out of the box and installed in less than 3 minutes. Only needed a screwdriver and a step stool!

Slight improvement needed
The part arrived in perfect condition and arrived in a reasonable amount of time. There was a slight delay because it was on backorder, which I imagine is because others are having the same issue I have. A piece of the grille is plastic and overheats, resulting in breakage. I’ve had to replace this grille four times since I purchased the microwave seven years ago.

Easy repair
This was an easy fit because the failure that occurred on the original occurred on the part and not on the mounting spaces on the microwave; i.e. there are 3 tab slots on the microwave that the bottom of this part fits into (tabs on the part), and there are two screw tabs with sheet metal screw holes on the microwave, and two plastic tabs with screw holes on the part. The screws go through the tabs on the part and tighten on the metal tabs on the microwave.

Brittle, plastic mounts broke,Vent fell when cleaning
Removed remaining plastic around 2 screws. I recommend a Magnetic Phillips Screwdriver, screw holes are a little Offset, and mount screws are small. I used Needle Nose Pliers to hold screw, to get it started. Really simple install.

Easy fix
The part is held in place with two screws. A poor design for sure. The replacement part is a direct fit once the two screws are removed. Reuse the same screws, don't order new ones.

The vent grille brackets were broken.
It's a good thing that the repair/replacement is easy, because this is the 3rd time that I have had to replace the vent grill. They are very cheaply constructed and KitchenAid should be ashamed to put a product this inferior on the market. Both the microwave and stove are a constant source of problems and repairs. I was amzed at the qui

The 2 molded plastic holes that accept the bolts broke.
A Phillips screwdriver was all that was needed. A poor design by KitchenAid for only having (2) bolts holding this stainless steel vent grille in a plastic housing, oh well. Don't lean or pull against it to hard or it will most likely break again.

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.

Can the black plastic insert be purchased separately for the top exhaust trim piece?
For model number Ykhms1850ss
Hello ,Thank you for your question. Unfortunately the grille is not sold separate it is all one piece. However the black grille is not being sold any longer and we cannot get it, I apologize. There are no part substitutions listed. My suggestion here would be to call the manufacturer and see if they can provide you with a substitution for these part numbers. We hope this helps.
