GLMV169DBB Frigidaire Microwave - Instructions

The old door came off easy quick. the new door was a little different. I used a flat head screw driver, popped the bottom hinge in first and I did the same on the top. The top you had to use more pressure and use a little more force to rotate the hinge to the pin hole.

OK folks. Take a butter knife and pry the top and pop off the bottom. Literally less than 2 minutes! Simple. Fast. Easy. Fit perfect!

Open existing microwave door, Remove door interior trim, Lift door above hinge holes, Move top hinge pin away from microwave, Move bottom hinge pin away from microwave. Remove replacement door interior trim, Set bottom hinge pin in bottom microwave hinge, Set top hinge pin into top microwave hinge, install door interior trim, close microwave door and check closing. Door would not close completely to allow microwave operation.

Called an appliance repair service

After trying to bend parts that do not bend I realized you need to remove the plastic gasket around perimeter of microwave door but leave it loosely hanging on (pry off with screwdriver) With the gasket removed you can fit the door on and the snap the gasket back in place before closing and testing. The door was a perfect fit, it works great. The door will not go on until you remove or bend back that gasket. It's not obvious how or where to remove but just put a screwdriver in there and you'll feel it pop out and it snaps right back in after assembly..
