Completely Dead
After opening the case (the most difficult part of the job), tested the fuse (good) next in line on the power lead was the "flame sensor". With my ohmmeter it read open. The schematic noted that it opens at 212 degrees and closes at 32. Put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes while I ordered a replacement. Upon rechecking, it had reset. Reinstalled it and everything works fine. I did receive the new one and it's on the shelf, just in case.

Needed to replace burned out light
Simply remove the cover after unplugging the Microwave. The light is attached to a bracket and unplugs from the electrical system and then pops out. Replace with the new bulb and bracket, reattach the electrical connection and replace the cover. Less than 15 minutes. Just need a special star screwdriver bit with a hole in the middle to remove and replace the screws holding the cover to the frame.

Just a little bit too big.
I had kept the old cover, just measured it against the new one, outlined it with a pencil, cut it to the correct size with a pair of scissors. Works perfectly now!

Microwave is completely off!!
My husband burned the microwave by using alumifoil. It was working for a little while after that but next day, the microwave was completely off. He thought the thermostat was broken, ordered the part and replace it. It's fixed and working fine now. Someone mentioned that if you put the broken thermostat in the freezer, it will be reset and fixed. I tried that also. I wrap the thermostat and put it in the freezer for one day. Now it's working!! I didn't know about that before I ordered the part but it wasn't expensive at all. So now, we have extra thermostat!!

lite bulb
First you have to get the "security screws" out with a pliers or vise grips then it was a snap, just replace the screws with 1/4 drive screws for the next time you have to get in there !

tray would slowly rotate when door was open.
I determined that one of the 4 micro switches that interface with the door was faulty. Ordered that part and replaced it. Had to remove the cover and front control panel (without removing any connections. Two philips screws hold the limit switch assembly to the bracket. After removing those screws, twist the whole switch assembly clockwise around the mounting frame and now you can remove the defective micro switch and replace it with a new one. This works for any of the 4 switches.
