Exterior Door Panel with Glass - Black

I had ordered the parts from Part Select and came with in a week. I ahd a Whrilpool microwave that had a door panel and vent grille that needed to be replaced and that was rplced with ease took less that five minutes to do. My Maytag refridgerator had it kickplate grille replace along with the pivot block that took all of about two minutes. The longest job that took about 5 minutes was my Whirlpool glass oven door that needed to be replaced, but that was pretty ease to replace also with an extra hand from my son. I just didn't want to break another glass door or I would have done it myself plus I was teaching him how to do self reparts.

I disassembled the door by removing three screws from the side opposite the hinges and pried (lifted) that edge up and rotated the panel away from the metal portion of the door towards the hinges. I assembled the new door panel by attaching the handle (2 screws). I attached the new door panel by starting at the hinge side of the door and working towards the opposite end of the door. The last little bit was tough to get it to snap over the metal sub-door. I reinstalled the 3 screws to snug, not tight because I did not want to crack the plastic.

repair was very straight forward and can be done by anyone with reasonable mechanical ability. I read in a couple places where appliance repair people had said it was best to replace micro wave unit as it was near impossible to do repair. Pure rubbish; only problem I had was when the door and glass u it arrived the glass wasn't glued in completely and I had to clue it myself. I removed the three screws on the right end of the door and took my large pocket knife and ran it down the joint where the outer cover meets the metal door. first the top and then the bottom and the old door popped right off. removed the old handle from old door for the screws needed to reattach the new handle to new cover. I started the screws on the counter to get threads started in plastic made attaching to cover easier. hen started by pushing the new cover onto the left end of door the continued squeezing the cover on along to the right first top and then the bottom a little at a time and it snapped right in for me with a fair amount of pressure, replaced the three screws and it works great looks like new. I did remove the upper vent to clean and that helped some with installing. Very easy and beat the heck out of trying to replace the entire unit. I think the so called appliance repair people only wanted to sell and install a new one for $$$$.

Used knife blade to gently pop out inner bezel (around the glass). Removed 6 screws using a phillip's head screwdriver (2 of these attach the handle), and used the screwdriver to release the clips that hold the assembly to the door. Replacement is just simply snapping the new assembly on,and replacing the screws and bezel.
