Outer frame was split
got instructions from this site . Removed top grill with two screws and lifted the door off. Using the putty knife and small screwdriver pried off the inner surround, from the outer edge, not the inner edge. Two screws for the handle were apparent, removed them. Then found the latches holding the inner glass frame ,released them and removed. Next removed the remaining two screws for the handle, the handle could then be put on the new door frame. Good time to clean everything, then reversed steps and reassembled and mounted door. Recommend a quick study of the new outer door frame to find latches and tabs and such to assist in removal of the parts.

Power worked but would not cook
Took the front panel off, played with the switch while it was plugged in to verify the switch was bad. I actually was able to tweak the switch just right to keep the microwave working while the part was being delivered. When it came it was just removing two small screws and replacing. Very easy.

Door handle broke
Followed instructions listed here that I needed to separate the inside facing on the door with a butter knife so that I could see the two screws that held the handle in place. Easy off, easy on. And I am NOT a very good handy man.

Had a fire on stove and door of oven was melted
We removed the top vent panel and the door lifted right off. The hardest part was figuring out how to get the handle off the door. The web has easy to follow instructions so we got the inner plastic seal removed and all the screws were exposed for the handle. Once the handle was off, we pryed the melted part out of the door frame and replaced it, after cleaning the glass on both sides. Once replaced, the oven looked new again. We spent $60 for the part, rather than $450 for a new oven!

Microwave appeared to work. Fan worked, timer worked plate rotated. It just didn't heat the food!
I purchased the fuse and 3 door switches from PartSelect. Replaced the fuse first but that did not solve the problem. Then I replaced the 3 door switches and problem solved!! So fuse only cost $5.00 so glad I have a new fuse in there as well. To see how to replace door switches see videos on utube!!

Replaced broken grille
I removed the broken grille (no screws needed to be removed because the housing for the screws on the grille were broken).
After removing the broken grille, I then snapped the new grille in place and tightened the two screws.
So easy even a cave man could do it.

Decided to replace entire door assembly since there was a small break in the door cover as well as the handle. To remove old door: take out the two screws that hold the vent cover above the door. Open the door and lift up to release from hinge pegs. Reverse process to install new door. Very Easy

Replacement of Door Handle
Gently remove the interior trim with a putty knife. Remove the two screws holding the old handle in place. Replace the new door handle. Screw the new handle in place. Align the trim and snap it back in place. Confirm the door handle is secure. I applied a little Gorilla Glue to the new handle for added strength before screwing it on.
