Microwave would not heat
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.

Door handle cracked and front door panel cracked
After removing the three screws from the outside edge of the door , use a flat blade screwdriver and you fingers to pry the base of the front plastic panel off the door. The cover is held in place with molded in plastic clips . If you are just trying to swap the handle, I'd suggest you buy a new plastic door panel as it's tough to remove without risking it cracking (sorry it is quite expensive...but MUCH cheaper than a new appliance). Once removed, the glass outer window has to be removed by gently prying back the plastic clips that hold the internal bezel that hold it in place. You'll have to take the screws out of the old handle and re-use them . I backed up my screws with penny washers to spread the force applied to the plastic panel...probably the cause of the cracking in the first place. On reassembling (the reversed of taking it to bit) make sure the glass is clean on the inside (no fingerprints) before you snap everything back together. I gave it a "bit difficult" because if you don't act with finesse, you'll crack bits that you don't want to crack!

Microwave was making a grinding sound
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.

Microwave outer door panel was creacked
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.

Outer door on this microwave was cracked.
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

Broken plate
Took the replacement plate out of the box and put it in the microwave in seconds. I never realized how much of a difference having the correct microwave plate would make. It's great to have it back.
