vent grill tabs broke off
took old vent grill and tabs off using phillip screwdriver. started putting new grill on and it wouldnt go on. got to looking and there are two more screws that you have to loosen up so the grill will go into place these two screws are between the two tabs at each end. caution do not over tighten the screws it will break the tabs. overall easy to install.

First, the screws were removed that held the vent grill to take off grill. The new vent grill was then replaced in a very short time. No problems at all.

Plastic vent on microwave was cracked and would no longer stay on.
Removed the broken parts and screws and placed the new vent on and tightened screws. I am an 76 year old woman, so if I could do this, then anyone can! Surprisingly easy to install.

Vent was Broken.
I, carefully, inserted the bottom tabs into the appropriate slots. I then rotated the vent piece up and into place under the top lip of the Microwave. Once positioned I installed the screws required to hold the piece in place. Very simple replacement. It gave me a chance to clean the grease behind the vent.

microwave vent grill
I have been doing repair on things on my own for years, I am a retired prevenative maintenace supervisor.
While cleaning the microwave vent grill from being old it fell apart, so I ordered the part using the internet to find the a company that has the same part, the part didnt take long before I recieved it. It didnt take five minutes to install it, and it saved me cash in the pocket from someone else to do the work. wallen

The grill that was in place was sagging onto the microwave door
We visited our daughter and son-in-law for Thanksgiving. They asked if I could fasten it so it would stop sagging onto the microwave door. As I looked, I found the screw fasteners were both broken out and the grill was just resting in place. While Thanksgiving dinner was being completed I looked online, found the replacement part and ordered it. The amazing delivery... Ordered on Thursday and delivered on Saturday. It only took a couple of minutes to get the step stool and screwdriver. Then I completed installing the replacement grill.
