I looked at what others ahd said about the repair and just followed their instructions. Just took off the top screw of the handle, used a butter knife to pry off the plastic cover around the inside door and took off the bottom screw of the handle. Put the new handle on and put the screws back and pushed the door frame back in. Very easy to do and took very little time.

Tyring to get bulb out i ruined the light socket. Unscrewed the bottom cover of microware. Took out screw holding light socket, removed wires to socket with pliers, intsalled new socket. It was a piece of cake and the part was a perfect match.

took out several screws dropped down the panel under the microwave and unscrewed the bulb and put the new one in. It was a simple job.

Once on your web site it gave me a skematic of my microwave which showed me how the parts connected. I saw how easy it was and I saw what type of bulb it was I ordered the parts and it took less than 15 minutes to repair. Thank you so much for your site, It is now on my favorites list. Doug

Used a phillips head screw driver and loosened the lens frame under the microwave. Removed the broken lens and replaced it with the lens ordered. Put the lens frame back in place and secured it with the phillips head screw.

2 screws off and 2 to put it back on. Not hard at all. Quick and easy.

remove cover, unplug secondary door switch (top switch)
remove switch from holder, install new switch, plug in wires, replace cover, very easy. door switches are a common problem
with microwave ovens.

the top screw is plainly visible, the bottom screw is not and may give pause. If you remove the plastic ring, on the interior face of the door, it will give access to the bottom screw for the handle. While you have the handle off, remove the backing plate for the handle, on the front of the door by pulling outward, gently until it pops off. Then you can slide the front glass panel out and clean it. {CAUTION: do not spray any cleaner on the exposed glass with the mesh on it, it will be impossible to remove any liquid and will cause fogging when you replace the outer glass panel}. Replace clean glass panel, and handle backing plate, make sure it snaps in fully so the screw holes line up properly. Screw on new handle, replace plastic ring and you are back in business.

ordered the handle it was so easy to installed with help fron do it yourselfers.thanks

My son repaired it. The difficulty was because there was no schematic included and we couldn't figure out how to access the screw at the bottom of the handle. My son downloaded a schematic from the internet and finally figured out how to do it from that, but it would have been a lot quicker and easier if one had been included with the part. I was very satisfied, however, with the speed of the delivery.

Since the job required replacing both the bulbs and sockets the unit was dropped from the wall. Used a towel and plywood to protect the range under the unit. Then these steps: Unplugged the power cable and placed a support board under the unit while removing three bolts from overhead cabinet. Next, removed support board and with a helper rotated the unit down and lifted it out of the rear wall mounting panel. Then turned the unit upside down, removed the bottom plate and unplugged the feed wires and two wires to each of the sockets. Next the single screws holding the sockets were removed and the sockets extracted from the mounting shells and new units were installed. When remounting the unit it was necessary to start all three bolts from the upper cabinet just a few turns and then tighten the center bolt completely first.
