Door handle on microwave door groken.
I went to a U-tube video and secured the installation instructions. Video said it would take 15 minutes to do repair. Took me longer to get the door apart but finally got it installed. Had to disassemble a couple of times before getting it right but it worked out. Took a little over an hour.

Under the microwave there are two light bulbs that light up the top of the oven/range.
Last week I removed the glass cover that was held in by one screw and removed the burnt out light bulb. I ordered the bulb and left the glass cover off until the bulb arrived. I had to wait until this evening to put the glass cover back on and fasten the screw because I have a window right next to the oven and the sun streaming in made it too difficult for me to see how to put the glass back in and replace the screw.

Previoous glass lens was broken
This repair was easy and could be done by anyone. If you undertake to do this replacement, remember to slowly bend the medal tabs back that hold the lens. Handled roughly these tabs could break off.

We couldn't install it - received wrong part.
The filter we have is 6x4. I ordered by phone.They sent the wrong part - 6x11.
We returned it to Post Office at our own cost - $8.85 May26. Tracked - it arrived May 28. So far we do not have the correct filter. We are waiting for the refund. Charged $49.99 plus tax & shipping of $7.75.
Thank you for helping us get the correct filter and a refund. We should not be charged for returning the wrong part they sent us by mistake.

Had a fire in M/W, melting the film and also the spinner cover
Removed old film, installed new horizontally and pulled it downward (match it along the top first). The cover required 2 "hooks" to be removed, only needed 4 clips. Used a screwdriver to remove the 2 clips.

Timer, light and control pad worked. Turn table and heat did not work. Oven would not start up.
I first read where someone had the same problem. Their solution was a burned-out fuse. I ordered a new fuse...installed it and that did not solve my problem. I revisted PartSelect and read how Marla (from Arlington, TX)solved her problem. I purchased a secondary switch and when it arrived, I made a copy of Marla's instructions and followed them to the letter. I installed the new secondary switch into the secondary space, put everything back together and the oven STILL DID NOT WORK. I had to take the latching panel apart again and test each switch to see if there was another bad one. I found that the third switch was burned out. So I took the new switch out of the second slot and installed it into the third slot. I tested the switches before reinstalling the latching panel. This time everything worked. So I put everything back together, reinstalled the microwave on the wall, tested it again, and everything worked perfectly.

Broken Door Handle
I first went on you tube and typed in my brand and model number. It brought up how to take apart the door to get at the four screws. I used a butter knife to pop out the door frame. With the inner door off the first two screws came out then you can get at the other two screws. I used the same old screws to reinstall the new handle. The door handle arrived in two days via ups. The frame snaps together, very easy. Never installed a handle before. The price was right and the wife wanted this fixed, now!

Broken door handle and front panel
Following the instructions from prior PartSelect folks for this part (thank you for great instructions), I removed the door from the microwave (first had to remove the fan vent grill above the door (2 Phillips screws), then I carefully removed the back plastic door frame using the thin puddy knife to carefully pop it off. Removed the first 2 screws on that are visible. Removed the inner door frame (was the most difficult part of the process to do without breaking the front panel frame) to expose the inner 2 screws. On our microwave, the front panel was also cracked, so I removed and replaced it (very simple), attached the new handle to the front panel with the inner screws (Phillips 2) and then popped the inner door back in, screwed in the last 2 screws and attached the back plastic door frame. Reattached the vent fan cover and the door. A bit more complicated than originally thought, but overall not bad. Charlie C
