Fred A Coolidge , AZ March 16, 2015 Appliance: Model KENMORE MICROWAVE While installing my microwave i sat it on the stove for quick access & apparently bumped the burner knob melting the bottom of the microwave door panel I got online and googled microwave door and found a few sites. AppliancePartsPros had the actual blow apart image of my entire microwave allowing me to easily select the part. Other sites listed doors, but these doors are actually 3 separate parts. Thanks to the blow apart image I was able to select exactly what I needed. The rest was just simple dissabembly, stall and reassembly. And of course making sure the burner knobs were no long on the range until I finished. Installing the glass in the door was the hardest part, the clips are intended to hold the glass type and have to be pried back and released while inserting the glass under the top mounting cuts. A little tricky. Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
Maurice A Gwynn Oak , MD January 20, 2016 Appliance: Kenmore Microwave 72180039700 After use of 8 years plastic clips that hold the door just melt and became brittle from the heat of the stove when the door was pulled the panel came off The model number is located on the microwave .The part # is located on the inside of the door panel. Which I did not have to take off, minds came off. Delivery was quick. It was easy to remove the glass from the old one because some clips were broke and it doesn't matter if you break them anyway. After being overly cautious it really wasn't hard to put the glass in the new panel but it was to the hardest part about the job oh by the way pay close attention to the side in the direction that you put the glass in. I had to do it twice the first time I put it in upside down and it wasn't fun taking out the old one by myself. It was easy putting it back in the second time and I did it without breaking the glass or any clips. I rate the difficulty level a two only because I put the glass and wrong and had to take it back off.
