Clearly, the bulb was the problem. The gasket is an invitation to more trouble.
Simple. But beware changing just the bulb when the gasket is not secure.

The oven door handle fell off in my hand.
Simply remove two screws on each side of the oven door. Remove what was left of the old handle and slide the new one in place. Replace the two screws on each side and it was done. Very impressed with the whole experience. I paid for standard 3 to 5 day shipping and received the parts I ordered less than 24 hours from the placing the order.

Door Handle Broke Off
Unscrewed plate and replaced new handle. Very simple repair. Whirlpool was pricey on the handle but PartSelect had no determination in that. I researched the pricing and they were right on track with it. Delivered it in just a couple of days and I was back in business. Would definitely purchase again. Hassle free, great service! Great website and easy to purchase from. Very detailed prints, when trying to figure out what you need. Not sure if I needed just the brackets or the entire handle but the prints showed came in handy and showed me what I needed. Thanks~

Cracked inner oven door glass
Did require removing almost every screw in the oven door. Labeled the screws as they were removed. Not difficult, just like solving a puzzle.

Would not start
Watched a you tube video prior to installing new switch. Followed the video which gave me confidence i was up to the task. After removing the touch pad I found my design was not exactly like the you tube model but I found the defective switch, replaced it and put the microwave back together. Works great. Again watch the videos

Light over range burned out
Philips screwdriver
Removed screw (1)
Removed light bulb
Put in new light bulb
Closed door to bulb compartment
Returned screw.
Pro tip! Check how many bulbs you need before ordering. Mine only needed two. I got two. I suspect I’ll buy a new microwave before new bulb burns out again. Ordering/delivery was fast. No need to have spare on hand.

Push button broke after 15 yeras
The button fell apart, then fell out of the microwave. I found the part on the internet and print the page. Went to my local Sears to see if they had part in stock. Sears uses something just above a DOS base computer system. If you do not have the exact part number they can not help you-mind you the part itself does not have a number on it. Anyhow, I order the part which arrived in three days. Simply, put the old spings in place and snaped the piece in place.

Oven was overheating and locking the door. Codes indicated the temperature sensor could be the issue.
Only one screwdriver needed for this simple repair. Unfortunately for me it did not repair my oven and a new code on the oven indicated a bigger problem with computer board.
Part Select was great to work with and accepted a return and promptly refunded me for the part.
Thank you!
