The fan cover in top of the cooking area was burned.
The original cover was burned and actually caught on fire. Research informed me that food can splatter and stick to the cover. The particle will get hot enough to ignite the plastic cover. I ordered the cover and included the fan since it was so cheap, Replacement was super easy. Done in 10 minutes and made my wife happy. She was ready to buy a new microwave because she thought something was wrong with ours but food splatter was the cause. Parts were less than $10 + $6 shipping. Keep the inside of the microwave clean!!

The glass was cracked and the turntable burned
Just removed and replaced by putting the new turntable and glass in, 1, 2, 3; that's it. I'm so thankful for this site because I would have had to buy a whole new microwave. Thanks a million!

Door locker snapped off
Unplugged the microwave. I opened the door. I used a butter knife to pop the bezel off the inside of the door. I pushed the locker up and to the left and used the butter knife to pry it loose. Disconnected the locker from the spring, and reversed for the installation.

turntable stopped turning
removed filters (2) beneath microwave, took turntable glass dish and roller track out of microwave, pulled up on turntable drive triangle peg to disconnect it from drive motor under the microwave. Removed 7 Philips head screws that hold the light assembly and filters in place, then lowered the assembly plate down to expose the wire harnesses for the drive motor and the lights. Disconnected the wire harness plug fron the motor and unscrewed two screws holding the motor in place.

The new part was too thick for the worn out plastic ring which is obsolete.
Needed to raise the part to match the ring. I used peanut butter to hold plastic shim while replacing to hold it in place. Built in Oct. 2009.
