KHMS145KSS1 KitchenAid Microwave - Instructions

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.

My husband just installed the mounting plate on the wall and the microwave was placed in position and mounted in less than 5 minutes.

Installation was very easy and only took about two minutes. I am extremely pleased.

Easy, perfect

Followed the instruction booklet that came with the microwave. Very easy.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. 2. Remove the 10 screws holding the bottom cabinet cover in place. The bottom cabinet cover will swing down allowing acces to the inside ofe the microwave. 3. Remove the connector from the turntable motor. 4. Use a T15 Torx driver to remove the 2 Torx screws holding the motor in place. 5. Remove the motor. 6. Reverse the process using the new motor.

took the light assembly off and replaced the bulb and put the assembly together and fitted back in the space and finished the assembly.

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.

Remove old filter & insert replacement filters

Remove the screws holding the bottom vent plate to the upper unit, using a Phillips head screwdriver. Loosen a front screw last, but don't remove it. While supporting the plate in one hand, unscrew the final screw with the other. Lower the front of the bottom plate - tabs in the rear will prevent the plate from falling out. Bend the outer tabs holding the old filters in place, to allow them to be slid out. Insert the new filters & bend the tabs back into locking position. Raise the bottom plate and finger tighten a front screw. Replace and tighten all screws. This is also a simple way to remove/clean/replace the mesh filters. I've pulled the D-rings off trying to slide them out from below.

I just looked at the broken one to see where it broke and looked at the microwave. I realized that there were two screws that were supposed to hold the vent grill along with 3 slots on the bottom. I inserted the slots on the bottom into the preset spaces for them, lined up the top with the two screws and screwed them into place. Checked to make sure the screws were not too tight and that was it. New vent grill in place and ready to go.

replaced burnt parts

Not so sure this would qualify as "instructions", but I only needed a screwdriver because the "D" rings of the old vent filters broke off and I had to pry to old ones out. Keep in mind, I am mechanically disadvantaged and can barely change an A/C filter ... that being said, all I did for this order was input my Model number and PartSelect found the correct replacement part. I receive the parts super quick (faster than the other 2 purchases I did that day). The only bummer was the packaging ... super huge box for small tiny parts. Otherwise, I now know where to go for replacement parts. This project should be a "no-brainer" for most DYI's, so getting the right parts with just a model number was lifesaving for me :0)

I just opened the box and set it in. Took all of two minutes.

I called the repair/parts number to make sure I had correct parts and the young lady instructed me as to the size of the serving tray; within 48 hours we had the VERY carefully wrapped carton opened and back in the microwave, working perfectly. Thank you. We'll recommend you to our friends!
