Vent Grille was broken and exterior door panel was completely cracked and part of it had fallen off.
I actually followed one of your previous buyers who had the same issue as I. Replacing the grille vent is easy. The door was just a little harder as I wanted to make sure I did not break the glass. Unscrewed and popped off the old pane and snapped the new one in place and put the screws back in. On a side note your site was very easy to use and easy to find the parts I needed quickly.
I went online and found the manual for this appliance and used the instructions, which were very helpful. The filters just pop out and the new ones fit right in. No tools were needed. For the vent grill, it was necessary to move the metal tabs back and forth a few times manually before they were properly placed in order to take the two screws, which hold the grill in place. I then loosely tightened the screws (so as not to crack the plastic grill)with a Phillips Head screwdriver. When my husband got up from his nap he was pleased to see the job completed without his help.:)
I removed the plastic exterior of the door. The plastic exterior has to be pried off. The handle is fastened to the new exterior plastic face, and this is snapped on.
The vent grill kept falling off because plastic tabs had broken off.
I got my 5 foot step-ladder and Phillips screw driver and removed two screws that were already there. I discarded the two metal clips because new metal clips are already inserted in the vent grill. I lined-up the vent grill on the microwave and screwed in the two screws. It's a perfect fit.
I'm a 62 year old woman, and if I can do it - anyone can. The vent grill arrived two days after I ordered it.

Vent Grille is plastic & keeps breaking
First I removed the two screws from the previous grille. When the part came-no screws were included. Second, the plastic hole that was pre-drilled was not open enough so I had to make it open so the screws would fit. Your part fit just great and we are defintely satisfied. I have had to replace this vent grille 2 times-don't think I will have to do this again. Thank you

Broken vent Grille (plastic tabs snapped)
All you have to do is unscrew the clamps, remove the broken plastic pieces of tabs, fit the new grille into the slots on the bottom and put the two screws through the clamps at the top.

Simple repair
My old vent was installed and had been broken for about 10 years but barely held on, until it let go while I was cleaning a few weeks ago. This fit my vent and was the only location I could find the actual part with a picture to confirm it was the same as my old microwave. Overall simple repair and will probably use this site again if I need to repair my microwave.
