Mike March 23, 2022 for Model Number HMC80251UC/01 Hi - Had to replace the hinges on this Bosch HMC80251UC/01 microwave. Also ordered the Door Inner Panel (00771186) because the tabs break off when you remove the panel to install the hinges. After hinges installed and time for the new panel to be installed, I carefully lined up the tabs and started pressing them into the door frame. All the tabs popped in as expected until I got to the top. The ends of the top panel popped in but the four big tabs in the middle of the top panel will not seat. I've tried moving the panel back/forth, up/down and in/out. Nothing works. I cannot get the panel tabs to sit so that the panel will be flush against the door. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
1 Answer Mike, Try putting the top in first as this may be the way that this needs to be done. Read More...
