I have a Kenmore elite built-in microwave. I started by opening the microwave and removing the small trim frame from the rectangle surrounding the window which covers the screws needed to be removed as part of latch head install process. But then went and removed every other screw from the frame which holds the door onto the hinge bracket. It is important not to remove all of the screws because the door will fall off the frame and shatter on the floor. My particular microwave when the door is open is right about 32 inches off the ground. I found two kitchen chairs that were about 32 inches high on the backs and positioned them where they supported the door when it was open and horizontal. Once I did this, I was able to unscrew the remainder of the screws, holding the door on the frame and slowly released it while holding onto the door frame, so it did not slam – it is spring loaded. I moved the door to another location and moved to replace the latch head on the upper right side by removing the broken latch, head retaining spring with a small pair of pliers and leaving it hanging on the door anchor, and then using a Philips screwdriver to take the broken latch off. I basically repeated these procedures in reverse, putting the new latch head on, connecting the spring, and then supporting the door frame with the chairs holding it just high enough to lower the hinge frame and line up to screw holes so I could start putting the screws back in. When I was done, I inserted the window frame insert cover over the screws and tested the microwave. It worked flawlessly.
