80609 (ABKESEA) LG Range - Instructions

I UNPLUGGED the microwave and removed the cover, using a phillips and a Torx screwdriver for the machine screws. I set these screws aside, so as not to confuse them with the later encountered screws. I photographed the magnetron to assure proper placement of the 6 phillips machine screws involved in reassembly (marking the the locations on the old magnetron would do as well. I marked the old magnetron "old", to avoid later confusion. I removed the two screws holding the shields to the magnetron. I removed 3 of the 4 screws holding the magnetron to the microwave, leaving one of the top screws. I held the magnetron securely and removed the last screw, pulling out a the part of the magnetron that penetrated the microwave. I installed the new magnetron in reverse order. One problem I encountered was locating one of the six screws, which had been pulled into the old magnetron by magnetism.

Removed grill vent. Removed screws (save screws) from top of unit and removed broken tabs that the screws held in the frame. Inserted the bottom tabs of the grill vent and slid the top tabs into the slots, centering under the screw holes. Screwed the two screws in. This problem likely originated during a repair call where a leaf had fallen into the vent pipe and landed on the fan, creating a clicking sound. Our guess is that the mx person pulled off the vent without removing the screws, and simply replaced it. We didn't notice until it came off in our hands while cleaning it.

Lifted up the glass plate and stuck the assembly under it ;)
