All Installation Instructions for Kenmore Microwave 66561614101

the tabs for the screws completly crumbled

I removed the two screws, removed the broken grill, popped in the new grill (after I ordered the correct color, did not get the biscuit color I thought I had ordered the first time) replaced the two screws....I was good to go. Strange that the tabs in the first place just fell apart...but reading others, find this seems to be a common problem. Simple as pie.

On-door water/ice dispenser lights failed, paddles did not work to dispense

It took me time to remove the parts and suss out the issue, but the repair itself was EASY. A wire ribbon connected to the circuit board had gone bad. One Phillips head screwdriver, 7 screws, to get at the old one, pull it out, replace it with the newly ordered part. NO PROBLEM. Ladies, you can do IT!! You have the power!

Vent grill was broken by a clean freak

Didn't realize this part had two tabs with reinforced screwholes in it. Those obviously had snapped off at some time in the distant past, and I had always removed the grille for cleaning carefully and washed it by hand and replaced it. The clean freak moved in and took this out WEEKLY and all the other tabs were eventually cracked and made the grille unusable; it kept rattling and falling out. When I got the replacement I noticed the broken tabs and replaced the item in a few minutes after removing the debris of five or six tabs and finding a Philips head screwdriver for the apparent screws (in fine shape, they were!) and tab remnants. Good fit, looks like new. Now hopefully the clean freak won't find my screwdriver next week.

The air filters were fine. The Front grill did no or could not fit. It too big however, not bu much, just enough so it will not fit the space. If it could fit the space with enough room to close the door I could screw it in

Door Latch

Whirlpool Model# MH1150XMS-0 purchased in 2004. I called Whirlpool and they suggested a new microwave. No big surprise - being the thrifty person that I am I wasn’t taking this for an answer. I figured if I had to purchase a new microwave what was $35.22 (part# PS373828 + shipping) if it worked.

I replaced the latch on the microwave door. Once the latch was replaced. I also took this time to make sure that the microwave door was in alignment. Thereafter, I had to adjust the door interlock switch behind the microwave console panel to recognize the microwave being closed. Yes, gaining access to all these areas was a bit difficult but have patience. TADA!!!....microwave is working. #girlsrock
