Purchased new part online. Partselect parts list indicated 3 different part numbers with no other distinction. As a result, I accidentally ordered the wrong color. I had to mail the part back and reorder. Partselect should correct their parts lists to indicate the color of the part.
Once I had the right part, installation was sim ple.

The nightmare was that this microwave is installed under the cabinet....in order to get to the light bulb I had to pull out my stove then squeeze into the space between the stove and counter....my old microwave light bult was much easier to change.....Shame on Whirlpool for making this so difficult.....must be a better way to cover the li ght bulb so that we do not need a screwdriver to remove the door to get to the light bulb

Stood on a step stool so as to be tall enough to see all the places that the top edge and bottom edge must mesh, then pressed into place,

removed the holder screw and reshaped the holder and installed the vent grill to the microwave. The design appears to be a poor one which allows breakage.

When we received the vent grille, my husband popped it back on within 5 seconds . . . it was that easy! It took more time to get the part out of the shipped box than it took to put it on. Make sure you get the correct part and color, though. I didn't get the correct color and had to ship it back (my fault so I had to pay the shipping c osts again, plus the shipping cost to get a correct part). If you have any questions when ordering, just call them -- they are the nicest people to deal with. All in all, this was an excellent experience!

PartSelect had the turntable I needed at the best price. Ordering was easy, but best of all, the part was delivered next day. I was able to insert the new turntable plate into the microwave and it was good as new.

light bulb burned out

  • Louis from mancelona, MI
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 1- 2 hours

when removing the bulb the base broke off and there was an ark took place as I had made a mistake and didn't unplug the unit before working on it , thought with the light switch off it was ok, but still had power in that area . So ALWAYS uplug before making repairs.
The whole unit was dead and I checked for power at the plug an d it was live. after unpluging I took the main control panel off and discovered a fuse was blown and replaced it along with a new socket and bulb and now it works like new . the fuses are inside small plastic capsuals so I back probed them with continuity light to find the blown fuse .
It was quite simple once I found how to get the panels off. Just basic common sence will take care of most appliance problems
thanks
