Broken Light Socket
Turned the power to the unit off. Removed seven- (7) small screws from the base plate, not removing the rear screws. The plate dropped a few inches allowing me to get to the light socket. I removed one- (1) screw that allowed the socket to be removed. I then detached the two- (2) electrical leads. I now installed the new socket, replacing the leads and the screw along with a new bulb. I pushed the bottom plate back into the up position and replaced the seven- (7) screws. Turned the power back on and we were good to go.

Replaced old microwave but needed optional kit part.....
I never even knew I needed the charcoal filter for my old microwave, but it was a simple install, just three screws.
The reason I am replying to this is to let people know about the microwave installation itself.
I previously had a hotpoint, 6 years old that I ruined trying to replace a lightbulb, long story for another time. I wanted to be able to turn off the turntable, so I upgraded to a GE spacesaver. It took a entire weekend to install the hotpoint, if you count the time for arguments and head scratching before drilling into my brand new natural cherry cabinets.
We chose to go with GE as it was the same manufacturer.
WE USED THE SAME WALL MOUNT AND SCREW HOLES!!!! JUST TOOK 15 MINUTES. TOOK LONGER TO GET THE MICROWAVE OUT OF THE BOX!

Glass lens and two light bulbs replacements
My microwave is built in above the stove which provides lighting and fans for my stove. The glass lens cover for the lighting was cracked in several places and the light bulbs had burned out. I taped the glass lens for removal so it didn't break apart due to the cracks Removed the one screw. .Both light bulbs broke away from the base sockets as I tried to unscrew them. I used electrical tape wrapping in reverse on a lightbulb (socket end) so it was sticky for a grip on the base, shoved it in the sockets and was unable to unscrew the broke off bases. So it was very successful and no repair man was needed.

Remove old light sockets and replace in Microwave over stove
Have a microwave that the light and sockets just broke in pieces so I ordered two sockets from this site . The fit perfectly and it was a breeze to install. Took out 7 screws and the plate dropped down, hooked up the little wire which was so simple and bingo I had lite again. I just wished the hold plate came down but it didn't but it was still very easy to install. Will continue to get my appliance parts from this company.
