MH1150XMB0 Whirlpool Microwave - Instructions

Looked up the Whirlpool Co. and ordered the part. It was quite simple. Arrived in 2 days and I simply placed it in the microware. It was very very easy!

Simply removed two screws to remove the old vent grille and replaced it with the new grille. I was also very pleased with the assistance I received from the service rep. I had ordered the wrong grille. I called the PartSelect help number and the rep walked me through the product return process, then found the correct part and ordered it. I had the replace 3 - 4 days later. The rep was very polite and patient during the whole process.

took off old and replaced with new.
2 minutes mostly looking for stool to stand on to remove and replace screws.

Unscrewed two screws, fit the grill into place and screwed in two screws.

It took me 15 minutes total - 5 minutes to clean the microwave, 1 minute to install three new parts, and 9 minutes to enjoy my celebratory glass of wine!

Took 4 Screw on top off...set bottom in first into slots ..pushed top in under the top of outside cover ...put Scews back in.

Took out 2 phillips screws on top, pulled the old grill out, hooked the tabs on the bottom of the replacement into place, positioned the top of the replacement, and replaced the 2 screws. 5 minutes. NOTE: Save the screws, new ones don't come with the replacement grill.

Slipped in and screwed top on

Opened door and put new plate in.

Placed order on Thursday evening and received Sat Am

I removed the two screws, removed the broken grill, popped in the new grill (after I ordered the correct color, did not get the biscuit color I thought I had ordered the first time) replaced the two screws....I was good to go. Strange that the tabs in the first place just fell apart...but reading others, find this seems to be a common problem. Simple as pie.

Took out turntable and swapped out old one with a new bright and shiny
New one, ring that is. It was easy using the part from parts select
Thanks

Didn't realize this part had two tabs with reinforced screwholes in it. Those obviously had snapped off at some time in the distant past, and I had always removed the grille for cleaning carefully and washed it by hand and replaced it. The clean freak moved in and took this out WEEKLY and all the other tabs were eventually cracked and made the grille unusable; it kept rattling and falling out. When I got the replacement I noticed the broken tabs and replaced the item in a few minutes after removing the debris of five or six tabs and finding a Philips head screwdriver for the apparent screws (in fine shape, they were!) and tab remnants. Good fit, looks like new. Now hopefully the clean freak won't find my screwdriver next week.

Very easy to replace. A short ladder provides easy access to two small Phillips screws on the top of the existing grill.
Remove and keep these screws to re-use.
Remove old cover and discard.
Fit tabs on the bottom of the new cover into position on microwave and press entire cover securely in place matching the screw holes to the existing microwave.
Replace small Phillips screws securely.
Step back and admire your microwave!

Unscrewed 4 different screws, replaced the vent & returned screws. Ack to original positions

It's a simple repair but costly. Just open the door remove the three screws on the side of door. Now use a small screw driver or metal putty knife to remove the chooker collar around the door " be careful this can easly be broken". Okay now the metal inner door is easier to remove if you slightly bend the tabs up around the door. Look carefully you should be able to see where they catch. Once you do that carefully seperate the outter door cover. Careful sometimes it will pop right out and fall. Please no more further repairs needed. Just screw in the new handle push tabs back out on the metal inner door then snap everything back together and reinstall the three screws.
