YKHMS155LSS1 KitchenAid Microwave - Instructions

Whirlpool Model# MH1150XMS-0 purchased in 2004. I called Whirlpool and they suggested a new microwave. No big surprise - being the thrifty person that I am I wasn’t taking this for an answer. I figured if I had to purchase a new microwave what was $35.22 (part# PS373828 + shipping) if it worked.

I replaced the latch on the microwave door. Once the latch was replaced. I also took this time to make sure that the microwave door was in alignment. Thereafter, I had to adjust the door interlock switch behind the microwave console panel to recognize the microwave being closed. Yes, gaining access to all these areas was a bit difficult but have patience. TADA!!!....microwave is working. #girlsrock

First I removed the 2 screws holding the panel on. I then removed the cracked panel. It was held in place by small "catches" built on to thew door. Replacing the new panel was easy, except, I forgot to attach the old handle. I was afraid I would break the new door but it came off with some prying. After replacing the handle, the door went on easily.

The new vent popped right in. Screws easily secured. Same size. Same color. Good as new. Was very simple to do.

We took a chance on the less expensive black Whirlpool vent grille as I found online that it would fit our stainless steel Kitchenaid microwave. My husband was able to pry the stainless cover off the broken grille and snap it onto the new black one. Then just screw in the top screws to secure. We are very happy with the stainless/black of the new setup. It goes very well with the stainless/black of the cooktop and oven.

used screw driver to pry up old part. lifted right off. line up drive couple drive push on. repair took less than 1 minute to repair. works like new
Very Pleased with Parts Select replacement parts

removed perimeter screws from the bottom side and the lower cover is hinged at the wall side. Motor is visible and easily removed with two screws. Take of the old one, install the new one, and reverse the procedure to put the bottom cover back in place. Will nee helper to hold one side of the bottom until couple of screws can be put in on the other side.

Took out 2 phillips screws on top, pulled the old grill out, hooked the tabs on the bottom of the replacement into place, positioned the top of the replacement, and replaced the 2 screws. 5 minutes. NOTE: Save the screws, new ones don't come with the replacement grill.

I really did not have a repair on the microwave just a replacement of the browning pan

Took out turntable and swapped out old one with a new bright and shiny
New one, ring that is. It was easy using the part from parts select
Thanks

Very easy to replace. A short ladder provides easy access to two small Phillips screws on the top of the existing grill.
Remove and keep these screws to re-use.
Remove old cover and discard.
Fit tabs on the bottom of the new cover into position on microwave and press entire cover securely in place matching the screw holes to the existing microwave.
Replace small Phillips screws securely.
Step back and admire your microwave!

First, we had to clean up all the interior surfaces, which was just cleaning. There was no internal damage. Then, just setting the center connector, rotary rollers and glass plate. Simple

It took me 15 minutes total - 5 minutes to clean the microwave, 1 minute to install three new parts, and 9 minutes to enjoy my celebratory glass of wine!

removed old vent and replaced by snapping in and two screws inserted into right and left top connections.

Having read a couple of other repair stories, I took out the screws (3 ea) on the end of the door and pried off the front door panel. There was a piece of glass sandwiched in between, and luckily it did not fall and break. Then I removed the handle, which was in good shape and installed it on the new door. The new panel snapped into place and I was done.

The most difficult part was getting the old screw out of the top of the grille. Once that was accomplished, the rest was easy as can be. I would highly recommend your service - very good! Thank you!
