CERAMIC FUSE BLEW WHILE HEATING VEGETABLES
I found an exploded view diagram of of my microwave model which was very helpful. You need only remove outside metal skin by removing 4 screws on either side and 4 more on the back. Remove 4 plastic hole plugs from the top mounting inserts. Gently pull sides out and lift up and back to remove outer skin. The fuse is located on the back right corner behind the control panel. You access from the side. The fuse is under the spreader bar. Lift fuse up gently to remove.

P.S. It was the MSP Capaciter and or the interlock switch, snap apart 21A (19) failure that actually caused the ceramic fuse to blow.
Parts Used:
Ceramic Fuse - 15 Amp

door hinge was loose, appeared to need something to stabilize
I could not do the repair. The clip that I ordered did not go in the bottom hinge, but rather in the top hinge, which was not broken. I could not figure out how to repair it. There was no other part in the diagram that looked as though it would solve the problem, so I needed to buy a new microwave. A more detailed drawing would have been helpful--one that showed how the hinges were attached and how they worked.

One of the rollers on my turntable guide became squared so that the roller wheel would not turn.
I opened the box, took the turntable guide out and put it under the microwave plate.

Stopped heating and had a banging noise
I took instant pictures at each step to make sure I put the wires back correctly. Removed the front panel. Discharged the capacitor with a voltage meter. Removed parts in front of the magnetron. Removed and replaced the magnetron. Reassembled. Works find now. Small hands, a flashlight and a magnet (for dropped screws) would help. I did not need the pictures.
