Microwave door wouldn't open
Well, first of all I luckily picked your website after it had broken that day, got all the info, ordered that day, and got it the NEXT day and my husband fixed it that day. VOILA!! That may never happen again, but that was the easiest thing we have ever done. You can better bet we will be ordering from this website again,as well as letting others know about it. Very impressed, and yes, this is real.

The plastic part (door latch bracket) that releases the door broke so that the press plate would not open the door.
This plastic door latch bracket controls the door opening. Ours broke after 7 years of use. Probably just the plastic fracturing after years of use. Hardest part is finding the special driver to unscrew the housing around the microwave so that you can get to the control panel. Ask for something that looks like an allen wrench with a hole in the middle. I took a picture of the screw in the microwave and brought it to a big box store and asked for the correct driver. I have a feeling that a "real" hardware store (like Ace or TrueValue) may have been able to just direct me to the correct screw driver but I'm cheap so I though a big box store would be less expensive for a tool that I may never use again. Once you get the correct screw driver, opening the microwave is pretty easy. MAKE SURE THE MICROWAVE IS UNPLUGGED BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER. There are a number of these "special" screws (4 to 6) and some regular screws to remove. Once you pull the housing off the microwave look at the release latch inside (behind the release press plate). You should be able to jiggle it out especially since it is probably broken on one side. Be sure to find and remove all the broken pieces. Mine had just the main latch and a small piece that broke off. Pull it out and you are ready to put the new one in. It is a little difficult putting the new latch bracket in. Try inserting one side into the holder hole and very gently pressing the other side in. Be patient; with a little pressure it will snap in. Then you simply put the housing back on, put the screws in and every thing should work. $20 bucks for the part and a half hour of work (after you find that special screw driver) is much better than buying a new microwave. Good luck!

Door would not open
Had to remove 3 screws that held the case in place,it removed easily. The control panel that the door latch was locked into required removing two screws and then lifting up slightly while pulling forward. This allowed enough room to put the new door latch bracket into place. Then re-assemble in reverse order. Total time about 30 minutes.

Turntable quit turning
Overall repair quite simple. Removed screws from the sides and rear of the microwave, then removed cover. Next, removed only the screws to separate the bottom cover. Removed the one screw in the AC Synchronous motor to remove the motor (had to use small screwdriver through a vent slot in the bottom to remove the screw). Unplugged and removed motor. Installation is the reverse of removal. Note: on the back of my appliance were 4 torx screws with a tamperproof pin in the center. I used the rotary tool to grind out the pins so I could use a regular torx bit instead of ordering specialty bits.

Carousel would not turn. Small plastic drive shaft broken.
Pried cover off bottom-center of microwave. It seems to be either glued or lightly tack welded. Removed 2 small Phillips screws to remove motor. Disconnected electric feed by hand. Don't let go of electric wire or small screws. They will be hard to retrieve from behind the rest of the metal base. Reverse process to install new motor. Didn't try to put small cover back on.

Broken latch. Doorwould not open
The tip on the end of the latch broke off, so I had to carefully pry it back in without breaking the new piece. Took a few tries, but got it.

Microwave would not cook
All the electrics worked on Amana microwave EXCEPT for the cooking function. Inspected the control board and found the upper switch on the door interlock was burnt. Installed new switch in minutes and everything now works fine. Unfortunately, had to purchase expensive two switch "kit" although only one switch was kaput. PartsSelect mailing was SUPER fast. Thanks for looking, Scott

Stopped working completely
My wife was pushing a few buttons with her knuckle (hands were full)and the microwave just turned off. Just like we had blown a breaker. First I unpluged it. Then I removed the phillips screws of the front panel, and found and removed the ceramic fuse. 3 days later I received the new fuse in the mail, and put it in. I plugged the microwave back in and it works great.
