The Microwave was completely dead and wouldn't run, light up or anything.
I followed an old appliance repair forums post from 2008 that discussed this exact common issue with this LG model. It took me quite a while to find the info. Then I used the schematic diagrams on your website to find where the part was located inside the microwave. I removed the outer cover. I tested all components including the thermostat for continuity with a multimeter. I discovered there wasn't any continuity in the thermostat so ordered the part and replaced it. Everything works like a charm! Thanks for the great, fast service.

Original grille was cracked / broken - wouldn't stay attached.
Three small screws ( which I purchased ) - why weren't these included? I realize , we should have saved the original ones, but realistically to complete the job, I needed to go to the hardware store and as closely as possible, get the necessary 3 screws for installation. Thinking it through, it would have been 100% if you had included the screws.
