Lever, Release

Ken V. for Model Number KCMS135GSS0

Answer Hello Ken. There should be two plastic tabs on the control panel W10110745 that secures the lever 8184269. If the tab is broke, you will need to replace the control panel. Hope this helps. 

Note: This question is for the older version of this part, but we thought you might still find it helpful

Answer Craig, You will need to, unplug the power cord, remove the cabinet and the screw holding the control panel, to access the lever assembly. Carefully remove the lever from the pivots on the control panel frame, be careful and don't let the switch actuator lever damage the door switch actuator and catch. Good Luck and Thanks

Answer Hello Dennis. You will need to uninstall the microwave and remove the outer cover off the microwave. Next remove the screws holding the control panel in place. Once removed, you can access and replace the release lever 8184269. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
