Do-It-Yourself Story

The replacement process was very similar to others described here. I used a philips driver to remove 3 screws that hold the frame. I used also a narrow putty knife and a screw driver to loosen the frame around the edges. Check if the handle is cracked too before you buy the frame so you replace both at once. I replaced the handle 3 years ago, but I think that both should be replaced because they will eventually crack after some 8 years of use. My microwave was made in 2004. This job for me required patience to avoid damaging other parts. You may need another person to help you hold the old frame so it doesn't fall.
