KHMS155LSS1 KitchenAid Microwave - Instructions

The door ordered was exactly what I needed to replace the old one, however, removing the old door and installing the new one required breaking down the microwave oven. Without the knowledge and tools to accomplish this I had to call a kitchen aid repair service. The labor cost was $160 and considering the complexity of the work it was worth it.

The hard part was to unusable the back door.It took me a while but I was able to do it. The res it was easier just put the new handle in place and secure it with a screw driver.

1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. 2. Remove the 10 screws holding the bottom cabinet cover in place. The bottom cabinet cover will swing down allowing acces to the inside ofe the microwave. 3. Remove the connector from the turntable motor. 4. Use a T15 Torx driver to remove the 2 Torx screws holding the motor in place. 5. Remove the motor. 6. Reverse the process using the new motor.

took the light assembly off and replaced the bulb and put the assembly together and fitted back in the space and finished the assembly.

Remove the 3 screws in the door. You will have to pry the door frame apart. use 1 or more flat screwdrivers to pry the inner liner from the medal door. There are plastic pieces that recess into the inner door from the medal frame. Once you get a few loose it is easy to remove the frame. Locate the 2 screws from the handle and attach the new handle. Then reverse the process to put the frame and inner door back together and put the 3 screws back in.

Taking the door apart was easy once you figured out how it came apart. Youtube videos were not helpful as every brand of microwave is different; what works for one does not work for another. My Kitchenaide has little interior hooks on the inside of the door, 8 on top, 8 on bottom, 4 on the hinge side. You have to pry the door-skin up to get teh hook disengaged, then get a putty knife or similar to keep the hooks from re-engaging. Once you have about 6 or 7 undone, the door starts to come apart. Eventually the exterior of the door comes off; the interior of the door remains hinged. After that, you'll figure it out...

had to go on the internet to find out how to take front door apart..
