Turned power off, removed screws from outer cover, opened door, slide cover off, removed screws, lifted panel open, removed electrical connections, then removed keypad panel. Removed screws for fan cover then removed cover. Saw blown fuse replaced fuse also used ohm meter to measure resistance of the thermostat it was shorted. removed screw holding it in place removed 2 connectors took out thermostat inserted new thermostat screwed in place put connectors back on. Put fan cover on put screws in, put key panel on reconnect all connections to key panel put screws in put cover on, screw in, turn power on.

Once the parts arrived, I pulled off the microwave door and pulled off the plastic trim with a putty knife and then pulled off the glass by unscrewing and pulling off the glass by pulling back the tabs. I unscrewed the broken pieces and screwed on the new supports which I attached to the existing handle

used a putty knife to remove the inside of the door and a screwdriver to remove and replace the broken part

While installing a filter in my brand new never been used microwave range hood combo I snapped off the top door latch with my elbow. After a few expletives I search You Tube and found it was a simple fix. I ordered a replacement latch from this site. It arrived in three days and it took 5 minutes to fix.

It was clear that the metal pegs that sit in the microwave frame were not cut down to the right size. The cut line was there but there was extra metal material.

I made a few trips to Loews before finally purchasing a dremel and was able to grind down the excess metal on the pegs. Once that was complete the door assembly fell right into place.

Note: You do have to take the squire plastic interior frame piece out to have extra room to fit the top peg in. Once the door locks into the frame holes just pop the plastic frame back in and your are done.

Deliver of part took the longest. Part order on 9/8/20 and delivered on 9/19/20. Remove the door from microwave. Then remove door part took about 30 minute, was difficult.
Part fit perfect. Put everthing back together was easy.

Yes, it started tripping the breaker and at the end it wouldn't work at all, I started checking continuity on all door switches everything checked good, then I proceeded to check the thermostats and found out that one didnt have continuity so I replaced it. Every thing works good except that as soon as I pluged the microwave to the outlet the exhaust fan comes on and does not shut off. Does anyone known why or do I need to change something else.
Thanks

I received replacement and followed youtube instructions to replace door latch mechanism. Very simple and only required a screw driver. works fine. Total time: less than 20 minutes. Wife and I are happy as I did not have to buy new a Microwave.

I took the microwave off the wall and unplugged it, then removed the covering. Then I plugged it back in and took voltage readings at the cord terminal lugs. Then I tested the voltage after the fuse and at every point , following the wire. When I got to the upper heat sensor, which is mounted above the oven cavity, I found that the voltage readings stopped. Also, the wiring sleeve was burnt. I removed the part, then ordered it on line. After re-assembly, it worked. Nice.

Used the puddy knife to open up the door and then used a screw driver to change the old part with the new one. That easy
