Joseph G West Newbury , MA December 30, 2019 Cracked holder locker and bad switch and more. I had to replaced the plastic cradle (holder locker) that holds the three door switches. Also, the interlock switch did not ever close. I Ohmed it out and it was always open. Lastly, there was a grease or some kind of junk in one of the quick connectors for a switch that would not make a good contact. I replaced the quick connector with one I had on hand. The machine is now good as new. Thank you for having drawings and parts and quick shipping. I will call upon you again as I have for many other repairs here at home. You folks are providing a good service. Read More... 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers

Adam T Bloomingdale , IL March 23, 2020 Microwave door switches broken I first took the top panel off to get access to the control panel screw. I then removed the control panel, took pictures of all the wiring and then disconnected it all. I then removed the holder locker, salvaging the middle door switch. I then installed the door switches on the new holder locker, added a new disconnect terminal to one of the wire pairs (it had gotten grease in it somehow and looked to have shorted at one point). Installed the new holder, connected the wires up and then wired up the panel and reinstalled. Plugged in the microwave, hoping that it would not catch on fire and then proceeded to testing.
