I removed the retainer with a screwdriver and pulled the old gasket. Then I installed the new gasket which consisted of pushing the retaining pins into place in the holes with my thumbs. They fit perfectly and the oven looks like new. Excellent.

Order part from this site was very easy. It matched perfectly and I had no problem installing it

Just put it in

Fool proof.

I was stopped by the third screw on the roof of the oven, which was slightly rusted and would not budge in spite of using WD40! I had to enlist the aid of my son who arrived with better tools, including a SQUARE phillips head socket set. He also had to spend some time pinching and slightly reconfiguring one of the attachments in the back which did not slide together naturally. So, for an 82 year old retired housewife this was not as simple as it looked, but it was a piece of cake for guys like Erik with the know-how and the proper tools!

Repair was really simple. Saw that the outer shielding on the existing heat element had degraded and ordered a new element. Part was shipped to my house in two days. Actually took me longer to get the oven door off than to replace the element because the left bracket on the door was slightly bent. Element came out after removing 4 screws and disconnecting 4 wire terminals. I was able to do the repair inside the oven and did not have to pull it away from the wall as the wires were long enough to pull through. I used some painter's tape to tape down the disconnected wires so they would not fall back behind the oven. Then I used a needle-nosed pliers to slightly crimp the wire terminal to the heat element and screwed in the four screws. That was it! Never did this type of repair before and it was really easy. Also estimate that for my 20-25 minutes of work I probably saved over $200 in parts and labor if I hired someone to do it.

EASILY REMOVED GLASS COVER INSIDE OVEN AND REMOVED SMALL HALOGEN LIGHT BULB.
RECEIVED REPLACED WITHIN TWO DAYS OF ORDER AND REPLACED BULB AND GLASS COVER IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES.
MOST DIFFICULTY WAS HAVING TO BEND DOWN TO REACH INSIDE OF OVEN TO LOCATE POSITION TO INSERT BULB.

Using the video from PartSelect I followed the steps shown. Sliding the range out was difficult so I tilted it forward resting the frame on a 5 gallon plastic bucket. I did have to crimp on a new terminal. The repair was straightforward.

I took the new tray out of the box and placed it in the microwave oven.. No tools needed.

good, used tie wire with a hooked end to fish one wire out of the back, to keep from removing the oven

Could not complete the repair due to broken part when arrived. Reached out to service department but have not heard back. Maybe email did not go through due to pictures attached of part condition once arrived.

I had to replace the screws which were corroded.
Connect the new element electric connection.
