Marie W Columbus , OH March 01, 2017 Appliance: Model KHMC1857WSSO Microwave needed new door switches 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 to parts, swap for new ones and put it all back together. TIPS: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE OLD PARTS IN HAND SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO ORDER AND TAKE PICTURES WITH YOUR PHONE EACH STEP OF THE WAY. If you're a newbie like me, it's the only way you'll get everything back together correctly. Also, microwaves can kill you - take all the necessary precautions you'll see in videos.
