Turntable would click, pop, and jerk while running.
Unplug the microwave. Removed the glass tray, the roller ring, and plastic piece that sits on the motor shaft from the inside of the microwave. Remove the 12 Phillips head screws from the bottom of microwave, let the bottom hang down on the mounting hooks at the rear of the microwave. Remove the 2 torx screws from the mounting bracket under the microwave lower the turntable motor remove the two leads. Transfer the rubber washer from the old motor to the new and reassemble and test. It took longer to write these instructions than it did to do the job.
Hint: if the microwave is over a stove lay a towel across the stove to catch any screws that may fall.
Good luck and enjoy your fully functional microwave!

Plastic grille vent became brittle over time and broke when changing charcoal filter.
Replacing the grill is so ridiculously simple (two small screws) that it is hardly worth writing "instructions" for it.
However, ordering the right part is a problem. My microwave has a stainless steel exterior but on your parts list there is no part clearly identified as such. Only black and white. Then there's one for which an "image is not available" so I figured perhaps that might be it. However I received the white part in the mail.
I then enquired if the part with a stainless steel exterior was available, or just its broken plastic base so that I could transfer the stainless steel wrap from the broken piece. The white plastic part that I received does not have certain slots to attach the stainless steel wrap.
However, you merely confirmed that the part I received was white so that was not very helpful. I installed the white part and it looks absolutely horrible on top of a stainless steel oven but it is what it is. But not too happy with your service and website to be quite honest.

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.

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.

Top support for door switch broke.
Part of the support was missing. I had to remove the two switches and put them in the new bracket
Had the switches reversed and started blowing fuses. Reversed them and changed the fuse and it started working.

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.
