Jim T for Model Number KEMS308SSS05 I have 6 month old Whirlpool combo oven/microwave unit KEMS308SSS05 which the microwave quit heating yesterday. It runs for 15 sec and then stops and shows error code F1E5 "replace micro inverter". THis looks like your part Inverter on your diagram (item 31 on your cabinet and stirrer diagram) Whirlpool W10120229. Question is "is there any description of how to replace this part??" how tough is it, etc. Thanks
