Microwave displays 'close door' message or won't start? The door interlock switch is likely failed. Moderate DIY repair—replace all 3 switches together.
After checking other reviews, we decided it was best to replace the interlocks, cam and all three switches. You're going to need a phillips screwdriver, star driver, small screwdriver and needle nose pliers. You need to remove the ONE Phillips screw above the control panel inside the vent. The contol panel is on hinges that you can slide up and towards you. Using caution remove the wires noting how they're connected. Pinch the top of the white connectors and wiggle them free. We couldn't get... Read more
Microwave has no power or won't heat? A blown thermal fuse is often the cause. This safety part protects against overheating. DIY repair in 30 minutes.
It is difficult (if not impossible) to remove the electronic switches from the hard plastic latches. I replaced all three switches and both the upper and lower latches I also replaced the main 20 amp ceramic fuse which blew out when the latch/switches failed. Read more

Very easy fix. Unplugged microwave, then lowered bottom panel, removed the two leads to the turntable motor, removed two screws attached to motor, removed old motor, put new spacer on motor stem, installed motor with same two screws, reattached the two wires, reattached panel ( after cleaning all the grease that built up over the last 6 years), plugged microwave in and good as new! Took me twenty minutes. Note: the two screws holding the motor were not Phillips like those holding the panel. So... Read more

I'm a 56 year old divorced woman. I started doing these kinds of repairs to save some money and honestly, to see if I could. So yes, if I can do it, it's not that tough to do. My microwave is built in above the stove - getting it down and back up was the hardest part of the job. An extra pair of strong hands really helps-for anybody, not just a 56 year old woman. The actual repair was pretty easy. Most likely problem was pretty obvious after a little research. Easy to take off cover, get... Read more

Replace a worn or misaligned interlock with this microwave door interlock assembly. It aligns and supports the door switches so the control accurately senses a fully closed door, restoring safe, reliable operation.
Replaced lower door interlock bracket, cam(which was redesigned), spring(I believe this was the problem) and switch. When the door opens the spring moves the cam which releases the switch"on" Button which turns on the interior light when you close the door, the latch which protrudes out from door pushes into the cam which rotates to turn off the light switch and enables operation of the microwave. Old design cam would push past the light switch and the weakened spring would not push it back... Read more

Color: gray. Measures about 3 inches in diameter.
1) Used tweezers to pick broken plastic fragments out of the hole that contains the metal shaft that mates with the plastic sprocket. 2) Dropped the new plastic sprocket onto the metal shaft, then fit the turntable over it. Unfortunately, the plastic sprocket's shaft was too long, preventing the turntable from resting fully on the floor of the microwave. 3) Used some rough sandpaper to shave a few millimeters from the plastic sprocket's shaft. 4) Redropped the new plastic sprocket onto the...

I bought the Housing-lmp, but when I got it at first I didn't think it was the right part because it didn't have the ceramic piece that it goes into. I didn't know that the ceramic piece slid over the housing. After one day of thinking about it I finally realized what I was looking at and put the new piece into the old ceramic piece. Read more
