Microwave Filter
The microwave is working like new. The part came much sooner than I was told even though it was a special order. The price seemed very reasonable for a part that I couldn't find anywhere else.

Had to replace charcoal filter
Open the front cover by pushing it at the top (where it says “Push”), lifting up and pushing back on top edge of the old filter. Pull it out. Installing the new one is basically just the reverse of those steps! That simple.
Old filter did seem to be a little thicker (filter material), but the new one was the exact same dimensions, so it went in properly. Wish the filter material was white, so you knew just how dirty it was actually getting. But... :-D

Thermal Fuse out
There are videos on YouTube on how to do this but there are a couple of things I’m going to recommend. Color code your plugs when you take the main control panel off, be patient when removing the screws on the thermal fuse use a 45 degree screwdriver but replace the screws with a small hex head self tapper screw for next time. The difference between these two lookalike fuses is that one is for the fan and the other one is the thermal there’s a price difference and volts so read the back of the bad fuse. These guys are great man and thank you for helping me out.

Charcoal filter - your instructions say to press and release the panel inside the oven door. There is no such panel on my microwave. There are two screws above the door but, when I remove them and the panel they screw into, there is no filter to be seen.
For model number JVM3160DF2WW
Hello Michael, Thank you for the question. If the filter has never been replaced the dealer may have not installed one. The Charcoal filter will fit in behind the top vent panel above the door. Hope this helps!
