YMH2175XSS2 Whirlpool Microwave - Instructions

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.

I ordered bulb, which was stuck in socket. Order a new bulb amd socket, now is working fine thank you for your help and having the part we needed, it was delivered in a couple of day and now is working

replaced burnt parts

Attached bracket to wall with screws and hung microwave oven. Very easy project.

Replaced light bulb.

You had alerted that it was imperative to unplug unit before starting to remove defective bulb. As described, there was silicon on bulb and socket and bulb broke upon my attempt to remove. Had to use needle nose pliers to get metal base of old bulb from socket, then all went well.

Easy, perfect

Replaced filter which came inrecord time.

The old grille would not stay in place since the mounting brackets disintegrated. I wired the old grille in place for aesthetics and ordered a new one. When the new grille arrived (very promptly I might add)I removed the old grille and mounted the new one with the old screws. It would have been nice if the new part had included new screws because I lost one of the old ones. But I have a cache of old screws so I found a replacement that worked. I was very pleased to find the new part so easily!

Removed the glass cover and replaced the bulb. Very simple.

The lady in the Nova Scotia call center should get all the credit for being able to identify the part I needed from only the very limited information I was able to give her. Employee of the month for her. She also had such a great can do attitude. Lawence Baier

--simpley removed 2 screws, removed old filter--but had PLENTY of cleaning to do before putting in the new filter !My husband LOVES to cook and pan fry foods--it won't go that long before being replaced in the future!

Watched video which reminded me to order support for the turntable support ring and did exactly what the person in the video did. Excellent and prompt service and all parts fit.

After researching online, I found that I needed the turntable drive coupling, part#PS993087. when I went to your site it showed the same part but the part number had changed but said it would fit my microwave. Well, I was really surprised and happy when the part I received 3 days after I placed the order, with normal shipping,fit perfectly and now my turn table in my microwave works. I have marked this site a a favorite and will use it I'm sure soon. Being a single women and having to figure out how to fix the things on a small buget, I'm learning a lot and have a lot of respect for men that know how to do all the repair stuff. Thanks so much, I have been able to mark this off my list of things to fix. Have a nice day. Cj- age, 58

I had no problem installing the new filter. Just used a phillips screw driver to remove the two screws holding the vent cover in place. Cleaned the dust out of the ducts and reinstalled the new filter. The screws must be held to the screw driver with your finger tips so you don't drop them in the vent cover. The most difficulty I had was in clearing the clean code from the screen. There are no instructions in the owners manual for doing this. But after several tries I got it.
