MHE14XMB1 Roper 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.

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.

Used a phillips screwdriver to remove 4 retaining screws located on the top leading edge of the unit, just above the door. Note the screws on the far left and far right are shorter than the middle two. After removing and cleaning the plastic vent, the small, square charcoal filter is revealed in the center, and is easily removed (noting its installation position first!). Take advantage of the opportunity to thoroughly clean the inside using a cloth soaked in degreaser before replacing the filter, the vent, and the 4 screws.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

Washed the glass tray and put in the microwave oven. Easy..

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

I removed the broken tray and ring-turn and replaced it with the new
Service was fantastic, parts were ordered one day and received the next

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

We needed a phillips head screw driver to remove the single screw holding the light bulb cover in place.
Removing the old bulbs was a little work, because they had come loose from the sockets. We unplugged the microwave, so we could grip the sockets with a tool. I think my husband used a needle nose plier for this.
The new bulbs screwed in easily, and then we refastened the light bulb cover with the phillips head screw driver.

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
