40180099010 Kenmore Microwave - Instructions

REPLACED DOOR SWITCH ASSEMLY

Use knife to peel back molding around latch openings. Pull down on plastic latch part, pull out bottom and tilt up to remove broken part from spring. Tilt top of new part inward and connect tab to spring. Push in bottom of latch and snap. Replace the molding by pushing all around the door frame.

After removing the door from the OTR microwave, we slid out the old latch, slid in the new, & reattached the spring. Replaced the door & DONE.

Used a putty knife to take off the edging inside the door to have access to the latch. Put the new part in and attached the spring. Replaced the edging and job was complete.

Got part from you in one day - great- watched utube video on removing molding and reinstalling. Video was longer than time to fix all need to do was remove molding and install the door latch - it is made of plastic with a hook on which to attach spring. Hook breaks and therefore door does not close

Replaced the bulb

To replace the light bulb was fast and easy. All I had to do was unscrew one screw and place the bulb in! Quick and easy, and simple!

Not so sure this would qualify as "instructions", but I only needed a screwdriver because the "D" rings of the old vent filters broke off and I had to pry to old ones out. Keep in mind, I am mechanically disadvantaged and can barely change an A/C filter ... that being said, all I did for this order was input my Model number and PartSelect found the correct replacement part. I receive the parts super quick (faster than the other 2 purchases I did that day). The only bummer was the packaging ... super huge box for small tiny parts. Otherwise, I now know where to go for replacement parts. This project should be a "no-brainer" for most DYI's, so getting the right parts with just a model number was lifesaving for me :0)

took THERMOSTAT;NT-101NA,250 out and put THERMOSTAT;NT-101NA,250 in so easy got the part in LESS 19 HRS

Called Maytag regarding the latch. Was told I had to order an entire new door that would cost around $170 before shipping and handling. Went on partselect and foundt he part for $2.02. Big difference in price. Very easy to install. Hardest part was getting the spring back on. Would definitely recommend to friends.
