Brent E Mountain View , CA March 20, 2014 Appliance: Whirlpool Microwave Hood Combo GMH5205XVS0 Low airflow through vent; filter service indicated on display Replacing this filter was very easy: two screws hold in the grill cover at the top of the microwave, and then the filter just slides in and out of its holder. There was quite a bit of grease in the area, probably pulled there by the vent from the stove top. I cleaned the grease up and also hand-washed the wire-mesh filter on the bottom of the microwave with soap and warm water. Airflow when running the vent is now noticeably better.

WMH31017AS0 Bottom light bulb went out and came apart when i removed it After looking online and finding reports that the bulbs at big box stores wouldn't work, I found this site.

Jeff D Lakeland , FL May 09, 2016 Appliance: Whirlpool Microwave Oven MH1170XSY0 Vent broke from screws Vent had corroded at the screws from years of use. Found the original part here. Ordered a black one since it was half the cost of the silver one. Also ordered new filters. Price was somewhat comparable to other sites or better but charges shipping. All parts did come at once the next day! Lucky me I guess we are near a warehouse. Parts fit fine and now the microwave looks good again.
