2 burned out bulbs under the microwave/important light source for kitchen stove.
I didn't do the repair -- my husband did, said it was easy, had no problems what so ever! The new bulbs give a lot more light to the cooking area.

Broken plate
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.

The star broke when trying to loosen the bolt at the top
I had to hammer out the broken star wrench tip then progressively drill the head off of the bolt. Once accomplished I could remove the door. I used a standard replacement screw I case I ever have to replace the door again. The manufacturer should use a fastener other than a star head bolt.

Old light bulb popped and burned out and melded itself to the socket. Light bulb then broke off inside the socket. Socket cracked and broke when trying to dislodge broken light bulb.
Removed all the screws from the underside panel - approximately 9 or 10 of them. The panel easily dropped down to allow easy access to the light bulb socket assembly. The wires to the socket easily unplugged and old socket easily removed. New socket slipped right in and wires easily plugged in. Actually took longer to put the screws back in than anything else. I am thrilled with this repair. Note: so easy even a 61 year old single woman in her PJ's can do it.

vent grill had manufacturing flaw
A plastic tab, 1 of 3, on the plastic replacement vent grill had to be hand filed to make it fit in the slot on the microwave. The other 2 were fine. It is an obvious quality control issue from the manufacturer's injection mold or inspection process that allowed the extra plastic to remain on the tab.

Dryer Stopped Drying Completely, Timer Didn't Shut It Off.
1. Safely unplug the dryer. 2. Unconnect the vent hose. 3. Pull it out so you can have room to move around to work on it. I actually in a power chair so I put an old blanket on the floor and laid it face down to work on it. It was extremely dirty so I used a shop vac to clean off the back panel before starting. 4. I took off all the screws and cord cover with a nut driver, used the shop vac again to clean the entire inside. Properly a 1/2 to 1 inch of dust and lint was built up causing a dangerous fire situation for sure. Once clean, take a photos especially of where the electrical connection are. 5 Located and removed the two screws holding the element on, used a nut driver and long nose pliers to remove the heat sensor & electrical connections. 6. Dry fit the element before tightening screws to make sure placement is correct then match the holes replace the screws. 7. Using the photos put the heat sensor & electrial wires back on, you may need to use the pliers to push it on tight. Double check everything, clean back panel inside and out, match up holes replace screws, I actually checked my power cords screws for tightness then replaced cord cover. 8. Replace vent hose if needed or then reattach it and plug it up. You may need to check the dryer barrel by turning the drum around a few times. Should work perfect, you will smell the element a little but it should be ok. Remember clean your dryer inside and out every six months or so to prevent dryer fires.

burnt out light bulb
The problem I have with changing the bulb is my microwave is an overhead one and therefore I cannot tip it on its side to easily replace the bulb. I have to drop the lid down and carefully install the new bulb from underneath.

Glass cooking tray for microwave cracked.
All I had to do was lay the new tray in the microwave. Easy as pie. Also, the new tray arrived very quickly.
