KHMS147HBL2 KitchenAid Microwave - Instructions

PartSelect website indicated replacing the high voltage power supply diode is the solution for "no heat" 99% of the time, but the diode was OK. There is more info at the website concerning the case of "loud buzzing and no heat" indicating the magnetron needs to be replaced. As an electrical engineer with knowledge of microwave components, this was also my best guess. However, getting to the magnetron is not the easiest job, but it's not impossible. You also have to be careful to bleed off any charge stored on the high voltage power supply capacitor. Luckily, I found my KitchenAid service manual tucked away inside the unit since I couldn't find it online.

Removed two screws to that held the old bracket. Installed new part and replaced the screws. Very simple. About 10 minutes. The part cost about $38.00. A repairman charged my neighbor 100 + dollars for the part and plus installation for the exact same thing. I highly recommend Partselect.

First remove three screws on the handel side of the door,then use a thin blade [putty knife or butter knife to seperate the plastic colored face from the door very gently . You must pry up to seperate the catches of the door panel from the door. Work your way back to hinge side of door. Remove the handel from the panel [2 screws] then remove the protective outter glass,push back on clips and lift glass out. Reverse the proceedure the door panel snaps back on to the door easily

Rep knew exactly what I needed when I described where the part should go on my microwave - price great - shipping great - installed in seconds. Thank you!

Thank you. The part was easy to find on your web site. The order came within 3 working days and the part replaced

I removed the two screws on the side. Took a putty knife and gently pryed it away from the rest of the door. I took the handle off the old door and put it on the new door. I took the glass and the plastic frame that holds it on off the old door and put it in the new door, I snapped the new door back on and relaced the screws.

I loosened the 2 screws at the top, removed the broken-off pieces of the old part, then easily placed the new part and tightened the screws.

The whole process was so easy! It was easy to order the part. It came directly to the house in just a few days.

Thanks.

Looked up the Whirlpool Co. and ordered the part. It was quite simple. Arrived in 2 days and I simply placed it in the microware. It was very very easy!

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.

After taking the three screws out of the side of the door, I actually had to get help from my Dad who came over and was able to pry the top corner of the door out of the casing. I was afraid I was going to break the door. Once he got the door pried apart, I was able to replace the handle, clean the entire door and quickly snap it back into place and then replaced the screws.

It took me time to remove the parts and suss out the issue, but the repair itself was EASY. A wire ribbon connected to the circuit board had gone bad. One Phillips head screwdriver, 7 screws, to get at the old one, pull it out, replace it with the newly ordered part. NO PROBLEM. Ladies, you can do IT!! You have the power!

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

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
