KEMS306XAL1 KitchenAid Wall Oven - Instructions

Because I removed the oven door per the instructions given on this site and laid it on the counter it was easy to take apart down to the piece of glass that was cracked. All 3 pieces of glass are the same size. It was a good opportunity to clean the glass at the same time. I would say looking back at the number of things I have repaired in my lifetime that this was a piece of cake.

I pulled down the wire around the glass cover. . . Released on end of the wire from its holder being careful to not let the glass cover drop. Unscrewed the bulb and replaced with replacement. Easy, easy.

I went to the source of power on the stove and noticed one of the terminals had come loose from the terminal block and had shorted out against the cover of the terminal junction. After prying the loose terminal off cover I ordered new terminal block and received it the 2nd day. I removed the old terminal block and replaced the part in about 10 minutes..Thank you Parts Select for your easy to find diagrams and quick delivery.

After unplugging the microwave and removing the screw, I removed the old bulb and put in the new one!! I made sure it was in securely and the difference in the light was awesome! I use this light when I bake bread and let it rise inside the microwave, but DO NOT turn it on. The heat from this light helps the bread to rise properly!!

All the electrics worked on Amana microwave EXCEPT for the cooking function. Inspected the control board and found the upper switch on the door interlock was burnt. Installed new switch in minutes and everything now works fine. Unfortunately, had to purchase expensive two switch "kit" although only one switch was kaput. PartsSelect mailing was SUPER fast. Thanks for looking, Scott

followed the instructions u sent me

Since others reported similar problems and it was just the fuse we tried that first. That wasn't the problem so we ordered the Door Interlock Switch Kit. Shipping was very fast! Our microwave had 3 switches. My husband asked how to know which one to switch. I read that one person just did process of elimination. Luckily ours worked on the first change out! So happy to have stumbled across this site and not have to buy a whole new microwave.

Remove the 3 Phillips screws along the bottom of the door, 2 screws on the inside and 2 screws on the top edge near the handle. Take off the outer door. Clean out the dust etc with a Vac. Tape the inner glass to the inside of the door so it doesn't slip loose later. Close the door. Remove the 4 screws under the foam to take off the middle window asm, not the 4 screws holding just the middle glass. Now when you remove this assembly the inner glass is not supported(this is why you taped it) so do not jar or lower the inner door yet. Now that the middle assembly is off support the inner glass with one hand and lower the door. Remove the tape and remove the glass. Now install the new glass being careful the gasket is in place. Reinstall everything in reverse.

Had to screw off old terminal block & screw on new one

This is a built-in oven, so the biggest problem was figuring out how to remove it from the cabinet. The solution turned out to be removing the cooktop above it and unscrewing two screws that connected the oven to the inside of the cabinet. The other problem was removing BOTH metal backs from the oven. The first one was easy. The second one wasn't. The old socket was recessed behind the second back, making it virtually impossible to access the metal "wings" that hold it in place, so I ended up pulling out the socket assembly from inside the oven with pliers.

remove 4 screws from top, front louvered panel snaps out. remove 1 screw from top of keypad, keypad pivot's forward and can be removed. There is a white mounting bracket inside left. Remove two screws, one top and one bottom, bracket lifts up and out. 3 sets wires are attached, mark them with masking tape, top, center, bottom and pull out plugs. They can only attach one way. Using a very small screw tip, lift plastic latch from switch, it rotates out and is removed from the pivot pin. reassemble in reverse order after switches are replaced

easy enough, just remember the order if disassembly and reverse for instqllation

I read how two others had fixed thiers on this site. Put a nail in each hinge then lifted door strait up off hinges and laid it on kitchen table. removed 9 screws around door. Lift inner door up. remove 3 nut head screws on each side and lift that shield up and out. replaced glass and the put it all back to gether. saved my self a good 200.00 plus dollars. thank you soo much. I will be back if I need anything else..Brenda..

Remove the door. This takes less than a minute. pull the door up and out. have a friend help you do this. Set it on a table and remove the outside panel screws and separate the outer face cover from the inner. this will expose the many glass window. the inner window has screws hidden under foam strips. these four screws must be removed to gain access to all other window panes. clean and replace as needed, then reassemble. Be carful not to drop the glass panels. also make sure that any insulation is reinstalled. Reinstall the door back into the spring loaded hinges. done

1. Open the oven door (about 4 inches) until it hits that first spot that it stays open by itself. 2. Put a pin or small screwdriver in the tiny hole in the hinges - this will keep them from snapping back and also make it easier to put the door back on. 3. Pull up on the door until it comes off the hinges. 4. Lay the door on the table with the inside down - remove the 2 screws from the top of the door and the 3 screws from the bottom - pull cover off and lay to the side. 5. Use nutdriver to remove next panel - they are located under the strip of foam along the sides, 2 on each side. 6. Use nutdriver to remove 6 screws around the pane of broken glass. 7. Replace glass then do steps in reverse to get the door back together. 8. Slide door back onto the hinges, remove the pin or small screwdrivers from hinges. Voila! New glass, no problem!
