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.

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.

Vent grille replacement
Unpacked the vent grille and walked to the microwave. Lifted grille up to the vacant space. Applied a small amount of pressure while pushing the grille into place. Walked to the refrigerator to fetch part one of an Egg Nog beverage, then to the cupboard for the best part of the Egg Nog beverage. Stirred ingredients and continued with decorating the Christmas tree. Voila!

Lights bulbs burned out
Really easy for a 75-year old female; just spent more time reading the online manual than actually installing the light bulbs to find out where to access the light bulbs.

The close door warning kept coming on and the microwave would not run
Don't waste your time with other parts stores online. Partselect sells quality parts and they arrived 2 days early. I purchase a door switch from another online store and the switch was defective.

Range light bulbs were burned out
We needed a phillips head screw driver to remove the single screw holding the light bulb cover in place.
Removing the old bulbs was a little work, because they had come loose from the sockets. We unplugged the microwave, so we could grip the sockets with a tool. I think my husband used a needle nose plier for this.
The new bulbs screwed in easily, and then we refastened the light bulb cover with the phillips head screw driver.

Broken Vent Grille for the microwave
Thanksgiving night, I found a rather large crack in the grille and it wouldn't stay in place. I placed the order for the replacement grille on Friday and received the new grille Monday. It just snapped in place, no tools necessary. I had contacted the Sears parts replacement department and all I got was attitude from the parts "help" desk. I'm glad I placed the order with Parts Select, the cost was cheaper and shipping was faster. I won't hesitate to use Parts Select the next time I need a part for any of my Whirlpool appliances.
