Timer would run but the microwave won't start
I first removed the top plate above the microwave door (3 screws), then I removed the plate containing the buttons and clock. The microwave has 3 relay switches and they are in a little holder. The holder was too difficult to remove so I just removed the bottom switch and replaced. The microwave started right up.

microwave wouldn't turn on but timer worked.
was told buy a repair person to check the door micro switches as it was a common problem. removed the top plastic air grill to get access to the screw that holds in place the control cover. After unplugging the unit, i took out the (2) screws that held in the switches and removed them (3). One switch was a bit melted so i tested it with a 12 volt battery and it was bad. Ordered a new one from Part select and got it fast . Works great .

Microwave would count down but not run
After unplugging the unit remove the control face buy removing the screws. All three door switchs are on a bracket on the left. Remove the two screws holding the bracket in place and pull out. Disconnect the wires from the three switches and test each switch indivually to determine the bad one. I used a multimeter set on ohms.Replace the bad switch with the new one and replace all the wires. Reassemble the unit and you are good to go.

Wanted to switch mv from recirc vent to venting outside
The mv was originally installed as recirc venting as there was no outside vent. I hated the steam and smoke just being put back into the kitchen.
I removed mv unit, ran a vent thru cabinets, thru attic, to outside vent. Installed new part on top on mv, installed mv and hooked up to new vent.
Works great now. Getting a good tight seal was difficult because the area the vent ran was so small.

The new door was not exactly like the old one
The old design was easier to install than the new one. I assume that the new part was changed to make it less expensive to manufacture. Installation of the new part was difficult but doable. Basically, the bottom of the door was located on the hinge tab and the top was then rotated into place until it snapped into place. Some force was required to get the door into place. A large screw driver was used to force the top hinge down so the door could be rotated onto the hinge tab. It would be possible to damage the door if too much force was used.

Our old microwave oven door latch broke (plastic tabs which held the locking mechanism in place). Repair was impractical. A new door assembly was required.
I simply followed instructions provided with the replacement door. A butter knife was used to gently pry open the panel enclosing the inside of the door. Removing the panel exposed the pins holding the door on its supports. Once the old door was lifted off, a similar operation with the new door allowed it to be set in place. The inside panel was gently snapped back into place and - bingo - job finished in about 5 minutes! (In all fairness, I had learned how to remove the inside door panel while diagnosing the problem with the old one. That probably saved me 10-15 minutes on the final repair.)

Door cracked and fell apart
The door was an easy off easy on type, we slipped the old door off quickly. It was a bit tricky getting the new on for some reason . It took a few tries.
WE were most impressed with the speed and accuracy in getting the parts from Parts Select I got the correct replacement door the very next day, and we did not request any expedited handling.

Old door broken from excessive teenager use.
I bought the door assembly online while in Afghanistan. My wife who has no mechanical ability installed the door in less than 15 min. She used a flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the hinges (they returned to their original position afterward) by applying pressure on the bottom hinge and removed the old door. Repeat to put the new one on. Most of the time was figuring out how to get the old door off.

The door had a crack and the handle was broken off.
It was simple, just used a flathead screwdriver for a little leverage at the top hinge and it slid right on.

Door would not close (broken latch)
I gently lifted with a screwdriver the inside plastic encasing on the side of the hinges, without removing the encasing completely. Had to do this to be able to lift door up and onto the upper hinge. Placed the door into position by gently moving it towards the wide-open position.
(Felt proud of myself because there were no instructions included in the box with the replacement door.)

Installing the upper door hinge would attach
My model had a cover on the interior trim around the glass that when removed allowed the door to lift off. The new one did not.
I removed the interior trim and swapped them. You can probably remove the trim to remove or install the new door. Reinstall the trim when the door is on.
