CGLMV169HBA Frigidaire Microwave - Instructions

My husband did it by just taking off the panel on the top of the microwave and replace old with new. We cleaned up some of the accumulated grease as well on the microwave. He had a little problem with the screws. We have done this before so no big problem. Thanks

The new door is slightly different than the one I replaced. To install the new door, I had to remove the plastic "frame" on the new door with a small flat head screwdriver. Then, I could easily mount the door to the hinges on the microwave. Once on the microwave, I clicked the frame back into the door and it was good as new!

I used a medium sized flat screwdriver to insert between the upper door hinge pin and the microwave hinge bracket. I applied prying pressure by twisting on the screwdriver and the door fell off. Recommend making sure you have a good hold of the door - It almost got my toes. Installation of new door was a little more concerning with the thought of damaging my new door. I placed the lower door hinge pin into the lower bracket. Placing the upper hinge into position for prying. I recognized it was going to be a tight fit. I used the screwdriver in the same way as take off. I struggled a few times with thoughts of cracking the plastic on my new door, but finally pried enough to get the pin in the hole. The plastic around the inner door popped out of place around the hinge, but snapped back in without damage. A fairly simple project that got my heart throbbing a few times with thoughts of damage control, but all is well that ends well.
