JMV8208CS2 Whirlpool Microwave Oven Combo - Instructions

Remove top grill screws [2] remove grill replace filter put back together.

I first unplugged the microwave. I then unscrewed the 2 screws from the top grill. I had to be careful because the grill was cracked close to each screw. It was a little tricky to remove the grill. Had to tilt it down as I removed it, and make sure the microwave door was opened as wide as possible. Filters were placed as the old ones, with the metal part up I believe. A little tricky to get one of the filters to fit. Grill was replaced with care so as not to further Crack it. Kind of maneuvered grill back in place, getting right side in place first. I noticed there were several tabs on the grill that needed to be placed inside of the microwave body while reinstalling the grill. Once the grill was in place, the 2 screws were put in to hold the grill in place.

You have to open the microwave door. Then looking down at the top of the microwave you will see two Phillips head screws with washers. One on the left side and one on the right. Unscrew both screws and set them aside. Grill Vent will now lift easily off.

Replace with new grill vent, being careful to ensure the wire from the door to the main unit is fully tucked behind the grill vent. Take the screws and tighten. Be careful not to over tighten or you may break the plastic tab off of the grill vent.

Just opened the door and dropped in new part and viola!
