Removed microwave case and bad part was right there in plain sight attached to the magatron. Two screws and two wires and part replacement was done. Plugged in microwave and works perfect. Couldn't have been any easier. Thanks for the easy troubleshooting and parts suggestions on your site.

Removed cover (lots of screws), Removed base, Removed inside covers to epose transformer, HV diode, capacitor and Magnetron. Removed HV transformer and labeled wires. Removed door switch. Removed Magnetron and replaced. Re-installed door switch and HV transformer. Connected wires and re-installed internal covers. Installed base and tested unit. Installed cover and re-installed Microwave. Has been running a week just fine. Take a lot of pictures with your phone during the whole process. This will help with getting things back exactly as factory.

Problem was easily diagnosed using the internet as a resource, problem was a bad stirrer motor. Hardest part of the repair was the removal of the microwave. Once off the wall, you remove the outer cover and a molded plastic casing directly underneath the outer cover at the top of hte microwave to expose the stirrer motor. Removed two screws and two wires and the old motor is out. Did exactly the opposite to install the new motor. The kit I recvd included among other things the motor, a new inside cover, plastic rivets and even silicone to seal the inside cover. I am sure I saved a couple hundred dollars by doing myself.

Others had suggested using a putty knife to "gently" remove the outer door panel. I found my narrow blade putty knife was not sturdy enough. After several attempts I finally switched to a wide blade putty knife and blade screwdriver. This did the trick. Outer door panel came away and after that it was relatively easy repair. I was really impressed by the wwll protected packaging used for shipping the new panel to me.

Taking the door apart was easy once you figured out how it came apart. Youtube videos were not helpful as every brand of microwave is different; what works for one does not work for another. My Kitchenaide has little interior hooks on the inside of the door, 8 on top, 8 on bottom, 4 on the hinge side. You have to pry the door-skin up to get teh hook disengaged, then get a putty knife or similar to keep the hooks from re-engaging. Once you have about 6 or 7 undone, the door starts to come apart. Eventually the exterior of the door comes off; the interior of the door remains hinged. After that, you'll figure it out...

Remove the 3 screws in the door. You will have to pry the door frame apart. use 1 or more flat screwdrivers to pry the inner liner from the medal door. There are plastic pieces that recess into the inner door from the medal frame. Once you get a few loose it is easy to remove the frame. Locate the 2 screws from the handle and attach the new handle. Then reverse the process to put the frame and inner door back together and put the 3 screws back in.

What was amazing is that the part arrived the day after I ordered it, it was a perfect fit. We simply unscrewed the old door and put the new on on. Had a little trouble making it fit, but we used a little more pressure and it popped right on, we screwed it in place. Thank you for your fast delivery

had to go on the internet to find out how to take front door apart..

The front panel is held in place by 3 screws on the right edge of the door. Remove the screws then carefully pry off the front panel from the door. This takes some doing so as not to put too much stress on the door itself as you pry the panel off. The back of the panel is snapped into the door so it isn't easy to pry off. Once you have loosened the panel be careful that the glass window and its frame behind the panel does not fall out and crash to the floor. Once the panel is removed and the glass window and frame are safe, you will see 2 self tapping screws on the back of the front panel that holds the door handle to the front panel. I ordered 2 new screws but they were machine screws, not self tapping. Make sure you keep the old screws! Screwing in the self tapping screws to the new handle was not easy. Be sure you have the proper size screw driver so as not to strip the heads. It takes a lot of pressure to get the screws all the way into the handle. Make sure the glass panel and frame are set in properly than push the frame on to the door so it snaps in all the way around. I worked from left to right as I tapped the panel in place. Once it's in place and the screw holes on the panel and door frame line up replace the 3 screws and you're done.

Super easy! Just unscrewed remainder of the vent grille, saving the old screws as instructed on other reviews I read, and replaced vent grille with perfectly fitting new one...whole process took 15 min (while 9 months pregnant with a toddler hanging on my leg!) And partselect sent the piece with regular shipping in 2 days!

This rental unit was missing the vent grille for the mounted microwave. It was super simple to install and makes the microwave look like new.
