MH8150XJT0 Whirlpool Microwave - Instructions

Really easy for a 75-year old female; just spent more time reading the online manual than actually installing the light bulbs to find out where to access the light bulbs.

just matched the holes for the screws after remove them from the microwave, then applied the new grill and put the screws in place again DONE

The most difficult part of the repair was getting the handle removed from the door because we saw that the handle had a front face and mistakenly thought that had to come off before the door frame could be removed. Tenants had glued up the entire frame and handle making it even more difficult. Removing the original glass was made a little more difficult because of their added glue. Once assembly of the new door started, it was easy to flex the door frame and the glass slipped right into the tabs. If we had a good handle, that would be a quick assembly to attach next. Then hanging it on the metal door frame with the three original screws would be quick and easy.

Piece of cake. One screw to release the dropdown light diffuser. Just remember, the you're screwing the new bulb in from a reverse perspective. Also this site sends the correct part the first time.

Removed the old vent grill by removing the two screws and put in the new one.

Removed the two screws hlolding the old vent in place. Discarded the old vent. Snapped the new vent in place and attached with the two screws previously removed.

Remove “over the stove” unit. Remove unit shell case. Unscrew and disconnect diode. Replace diode. Re-assemble. Put unit back in place.

Loosened but did not remove screws that held up microwave over range,removed grill on top by loosening screws that held grill in place.removed small mesh grill on right side of microwave, this gave me access to capacitor ,diode is connected from one lead of capacitor to a metal plate ground,Disccarged capacitor to ground by shorting terminals to ground using a thick insulated screwdriver.Since the diode was screwed to the top of the metal plate I cut it out with a pair of side cutters .I then connected the new diode to the capacitor with my long nose pliers and groonded the other end to a more accessible part of the metal grounding plate.I then replaced all parts in reverse order.Works like a charm.

Is there an instruction video?

We had to take off the black inside frame of the door in order to get to the screws which held the handle on. Getting that piece off was a real challenge for fear of cracking the plastic around the edge of the door.....it wasn't very easy. Once we got that off, the rest of the repair was simple, and replacing the inside frame went very smoothly.

Unplug appliance. Remove total of 7 phillips screws from sides and front of bottom panel . Panel front drops down, remove one socket screw and socket. Now have access for lineman' s pliers to unscrew bulb base. Reinstall socket, replace bulb and 7 panel screws. Restore power.

I was able to buy the mounting bracket for a very cheap price and was able to instill it in my kitchen with ease.
Thank you

Turn off power supply at breaker . Replace old bulb with new bulb .

Turned power off. Removed all the screws from bottom removed socket and replaced

Whirlpool advised that they did not have instructions to replace the door primarily because of liability issues. Without instructions I had to try and find an appliance service business to replace the door frame. Several were contacted and some indicated they would do it for $89.99 plus labor. Finally found one who would do the job for a total of $60. I would very likely have replaced the microwave since a new one would cost about $250; however, Whirlpool has changed specs and the new ones wouldn't fit the same space and work would be required to fit it to the space costing more. When I buy a new one it probably will be one that has a manual for assembly and a parts list.
