Door last half broken. Microwave door would not open
Unplug microwave. Remove the cover(mine had six screws- including 4 special screws I was able to remove the special screws with pliers. Remove the broken latch. Then you must take out the two screws which hold plastic plate that has a bunch of wires connected to it. Otherwise you can’t install the new latch without breaking the side “axle” of the latch. Once you remove the plastic plate the new latch will snap right into place. Reinstall the plastic plate w the screws and you are good to go. Note of caution. The micro cover edges are as sharp as a knife. Use gloves!

Would not start
Watched a you tube video prior to installing new switch. Followed the video which gave me confidence i was up to the task. After removing the touch pad I found my design was not exactly like the you tube model but I found the defective switch, replaced it and put the microwave back together. Works great. Again watch the videos

Microwave door would not open. Plastic part inside push button cracked.
Remove outside cover of microwave.Note that there are 3 unique security screws that you will need a special screwdriver to remove. There is a YouTube video that shows how to install new part. Although this was a lot cheaper than buying a new microwave the cost of $57.00 plus shipping for this 3 inch plastic part was ridiculously expensive.

Microwave light, turntable, and heat were not working
Remove from cabinetry, take cover off and had a very difficult time removing the plastic form that has the switched in. Replace the lowest of all the switches, and then again very difficult time getting the plastic form back in. Some of the plastic even broke during the process but not any that could prevent it from working as it did before. I had ordered a fuse, 2 packs of 2 switches as there are 3 switches but only had to use 1 to get it working again. Tested after switch install, put the cover back on and reinstalled in the cabinet.

broken turntable
I'm so glad that the site was available on the internet!
I simply threw away the broken turntable and inserted the new.
I did not have to wait for a repair person!
Great! Thank you.

My glass tray broke in the microwave.
I called to make sure I was replacing the correct part. I paid over the phone and it came the next day. Very very easy process.

Broken latch. Doorwould not open
The tip on the end of the latch broke off, so I had to carefully pry it back in without breaking the new piece. Took a few tries, but got it.

Microwave would not cook
All the electrics worked on Amana microwave EXCEPT for the cooking function. Inspected the control board and found the upper switch on the door interlock was burnt. Installed new switch in minutes and everything now works fine. Unfortunately, had to purchase expensive two switch "kit" although only one switch was kaput. PartsSelect mailing was SUPER fast. Thanks for looking, Scott

Stopped working completely
My wife was pushing a few buttons with her knuckle (hands were full)and the microwave just turned off. Just like we had blown a breaker. First I unpluged it. Then I removed the phillips screws of the front panel, and found and removed the ceramic fuse. 3 days later I received the new fuse in the mail, and put it in. I plugged the microwave back in and it works great.

Outside of cabinet got hot & food inside of microwave did not get cooked
Replaced the diode (aka wire-vltge) in the HV circuit after removing cabinet cover using both the secure torx screw drvr & phillips head screw drvr. The hardest part of the job was finding the secure torx nut drvr tool on the internet & purchasing same.
