JMV8208CS1 Whirlpool Microwave Oven Combo - Instructions

Remove top grill screws [2] remove grill replace filter put back together.

I first unplugged the microwave. I then unscrewed the 2 screws from the top grill. I had to be careful because the grill was cracked close to each screw. It was a little tricky to remove the grill. Had to tilt it down as I removed it, and make sure the microwave door was opened as wide as possible. Filters were placed as the old ones, with the metal part up I believe. A little tricky to get one of the filters to fit. Grill was replaced with care so as not to further Crack it. Kind of maneuvered grill back in place, getting right side in place first. I noticed there were several tabs on the grill that needed to be placed inside of the microwave body while reinstalling the grill. Once the grill was in place, the 2 screws were put in to hold the grill in place.

Loosened but did not remove screws that held up microwave over range,removed grill on top by loosening screws that held grill in place.removed small mesh grill on right side of microwave, this gave me access to capacitor ,diode is connected from one lead of capacitor to a metal plate ground,Disccarged capacitor to ground by shorting terminals to ground using a thick insulated screwdriver.Since the diode was screwed to the top of the metal plate I cut it out with a pair of side cutters .I then connected the new diode to the capacitor with my long nose pliers and groonded the other end to a more accessible part of the metal grounding plate.I then replaced all parts in reverse order.Works like a charm.

Replaced bulbs easily.

Part of the support was missing. I had to remove the two switches and put them in the new bracket
Had the switches reversed and started blowing fuses. Reversed them and changed the fuse and it started working.

Contacted Maytag and even sent pictures to show the problem with alignment of the mounting plate not fit in the back of the microwave.

I had the help of a handyman, I'm 75 years young but not handy with tools

Used a philips head screwdriver to remove one screw holding the light cover. Pulled out the old bulb and inserted the new one. Replaced the cover.

You have to open the microwave door. Then looking down at the top of the microwave you will see two Phillips head screws with washers. One on the left side and one on the right. Unscrew both screws and set them aside. Grill Vent will now lift easily off.

Replace with new grill vent, being careful to ensure the wire from the door to the main unit is fully tucked behind the grill vent. Take the screws and tighten. Be careful not to over tighten or you may break the plastic tab off of the grill vent.

Just opened the door and dropped in new part and viola!

Unscrew lens and direct access to surface light cavity. Removed old light bulbs and replaced with new bulbs. Reassembled lens cover and turned lights on successfully. Took less than ten minutes.

Removed the old turntable tray, replaced it with the new one.
