Not the original type bulb
The repair was very easy, however the bulb was not the same as the original one. The original bulb had a bright setting and a low setting, but the replacement bulb was only the low setting bulb. There was no bright and dim operation. The switch on the microwave had the duel settings.

Buzzing noise, no heating of food
Removed control panel, discharged HV capacitor. Removed old diode, tested to confirm failure. Replaced part. Other than the removal of the panel swapping the part was almost as easy as replacing a light bulb.

Microwave stopped working - would not heat up
I removed the outer cover and exposed the inner workings. I watched a video on partselect.com to show how to remove and replace the Diode. I followed the instructions and it was very easy to replace.

Unfortunately, the diode was only part of the issue. I ended up replacing the High Voltage capacitor and Magnetron also. Those were a little more complicated but still easy to do.

Now the Microwave works just like new! Cost me less than $100 for all parts.

Appears to work, but food not heated
The high voltage tired was shorted. I replaced it with a new one, but that did not solve the problem.

You can test the high voltage tired with a voltmeter and a 9 V battery. Search Search for it on YouTube.

You can also test the high voltage capacitor, the high-voltage transformer, and the magnetron with a multi meter. Search for the procedures on YouTube.

I tested all these high-voltage components with a low-voltage multi meter, and they all checked out OK (after replacing the diode). However the microwave still did not heat food.

When working on a microwave it is important to unplug it and also discharge the high voltage capacitor. The capacitor has a 10 megaohm resister to automatically discharge itself, but it may have failed – – so discharge it manually.

In the end I ordered a new microwave.

Burned out lamp on microwave
Opened light panel and replaced bulb. Very, very easy.

I am concerned, however, that this bulb does not emit the same amount of light as the one i replaced. The item number is the same, however, so I am perplexed at this bulb efficiency.

Microwave lamp burnt out
With microwave still attached under the cabinets, I removed 2 screws for the top grill and then one screw for the bulb cover plate. This provided access to the bulb. The replacement bulb was a simple plug-in.

The best part of this experience was the exploded parts diagram on the PartsSelect web site which allowed me to easily locate and order the correct part.

Burned out light bulb
I followed the instructions in the owners' manual on how to access the bulb. Installation was a breeze. I couldn't believe how fast I received the replacement bulb from PartSelect. I ordered it on line one afternoon and Fedex delivered it to my front door before 9:00 A.M. the next day. Awesome service.

Suspect light bulb was touching glass, and cracked glass due to too much heat.
I unscrewed one screw and droped the glass light bulb cover, bent the light bulb up so it wouldn't break the glass again, removed the broken glass and installed new glass by bending the tabs over the glass to hold it in place and re-inserted the cover, then screwed the retaining screw back in. Done in 3 min.. PartsSelect.com seems to be one of the few online parts ordering place that has schematics and easy to navigate site. Perfecto!

upper fan motor bad
My repair went terrible as I was sent the wrong motor 2 times. My stove sat in the middle of my small kitchen for 2 weeks. Finally the 3rd was the correct one except I didn't have the right nut so I waited another day for that to be sent. Everything working good now, I just hope the bottom fan doesn't go out after this experience.

Microwave would trip ac breaker
It was a over the range microwave It had to be removed off the wall. Once down I removed the bottom plate and then removed the touch control panel. Per the instructions in the user manual tested the transformer it was ok. Next tested the capacitor it tested bad and also the diode tested bad. The parts were ordered from you. The parts installed easily. Reassembled the microwave and tested. Unit no longed tripped the AC breaker and worked heating some water. Installed the unit back above the range.
