screw tabs were broken
removed the two screws, removed all of the broken tab pieces, replaced with new grill, put the two screws back.,....DONE Easy as pie
After reading other entries, I have determined this is a problem with most grills on the whirlpool microwaves. Defective material ..becomes brittle and crumbles.

Light bulb was out
It was a bit awkward because the microwave is mounted over my stove. I had to twist around and install the bulb and then replace the cover. It was a bit uncomfortable. It took me about 10 minutes to complete.

Replace bulb under the microwave
Piece of cake. One screw to release the dropdown light diffuser. Just remember, the you're screwing the new bulb in from a reverse perspective. Also this site sends the correct part the first time.

Door frame was crack.
Purchase a new door frame it arrived and I unwrapped it. I remove 3 srews from the end of the door and pryed up and the old frame came off. Be careful to watch the glass does not fall out. Remove handle by removing 2 screws and put on new door frame. Remove glass and put in new door frame. Then I carefully pressed it back on the inside door frame and replaced screws. Complete, very easy.

Had to replace the grill vent.
Removed 2 screws from top of microwave. Place new grill in place. Replaced 2 screws that were removed. What was wonderful is I ordered the part around 3 pm on a Friday. The part arrived at 9AM the next day and that was without requesting special shipment.

Broken vent cover
Unscrewed the remaining pieces of bracket slipped in new vent cover and attached with the two screws. Very easy since the web site showed where the vent attached. I saved over $60.00 doing this repair myself!

I broke the grill b/c I thought it snapped on and off, not.
I removed the two screws and took off the old grill. Snapped the new grill in place and replaced the screws. This model was not shown on the list but the part fit just fine. The part arrived in 2 days! I ordered the white one and at first didn't think it matched .. maybe my microwave was bisque or almond .. but after 15 minutes of scrubbing I realized it was white but just real dirty .. lol. Now the door opens without the grill falling off. Easy fix.

Needed to Replace the Front Vent Cover
I didn't have to remove the old cover since it cracked and fell off the microwave already. I simply snapped in the new vent cover, screwed in the 2 screws and I was done. Super easy.

Microwave would run but not heat up the food
Removed the microwave from above the oven by loosening the two screws above the microwave. As the unit tilted outward lifted up and the whole unit came out all the time feeding the power cord through the cutout for the power cord. After it was out removed the cover and identified the capacitor and made sure it was discharged and removed and replaced the diode. tested before reinstalling and it heated up just fine. Reversed order and reinstalled . Very easy job maybe a second hand to help fish the power cord when installing and removing.

Exterior Door Frame to Microwave cracked
The most difficult part of the repair was getting the handle removed from the door because we saw that the handle had a front face and mistakenly thought that had to come off before the door frame could be removed. Tenants had glued up the entire frame and handle making it even more difficult. Removing the original glass was made a little more difficult because of their added glue. Once assembly of the new door started, it was easy to flex the door frame and the glass slipped right into the tabs. If we had a good handle, that would be a quick assembly to attach next. Then hanging it on the metal door frame with the three original screws would be quick and easy.
