CGLMV169DBB Frigidaire Microwave - Instructions

Determining the root cause was fairly simple - but one should always identify the basic repair part first that may be the root cause - in this order - Diode - HV Capacitor - Magnetron due to costs of fixing the issue. I found that after replacing the two major components it may have been just the Diod/Rectifier a low coat resolution - but one never knows if the issue was one or many problems that wouldn't allow the Microwave to heat. The team at PartSelect was very helpful and was able to expidite the Magnetron to my residence to start the repair process KUDO's to the Customer Service Team!

After trying to bend parts that do not bend I realized you need to remove the plastic gasket around perimeter of microwave door but leave it loosely hanging on (pry off with screwdriver) With the gasket removed you can fit the door on and the snap the gasket back in place before closing and testing. The door was a perfect fit, it works great. The door will not go on until you remove or bend back that gasket. It's not obvious how or where to remove but just put a screwdriver in there and you'll feel it pop out and it snaps right back in after assembly..

I found and removed the clip for the door - top on the inside (not easy to find) and then removed the door. Called support who told me to watch you-tube and there were good instructions there. Needed needle nose pliers to hold broken screw and a screw driver that could fit between the metal. Flat head and phillips are required. OH you should try to leave the screw in the hole as getting it back there is a PIA. Took about 20 minutes and I am challenged mechanically. Altogether, not too bad.

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!
