MH3184XPT0 Whirlpool Microwave - Instructions

Remove “over the stove” unit. Remove unit shell case. Unscrew and disconnect diode. Replace diode. Re-assemble. Put unit back in place.

Really easy for a 75-year old female; just spent more time reading the online manual than actually installing the light bulbs to find out where to access the light bulbs.

I went to a popular parts supply website and used thier repair information (video) to fix the handle. Without that information it would have taken a lot longer to figure out.

Turned power off. Removed all the screws from bottom removed socket and replaced

screwed in new bulb

It really just snaps into place- nothing to it.
The only small problem is, it's a different color than the original. The original was gray and the new one is black but it still looks fine.

I removed the broken tray and ring-turn and replaced it with the new
Service was fantastic, parts were ordered one day and received the next

Turn off power supply at breaker . Replace old bulb with new bulb .

The replacement part was easy to install and, despite the description that said it didn't come with the clips, the clips were attached. In fact, the box included a clip that was never installed when my microwave was originally installed. The additional clip probably would have prevented the grille from falling off in the first place.

easy to replace, just the same as cleaning the turntable and placing back in the micorwave;

We needed a phillips head screw driver to remove the single screw holding the light bulb cover in place.
Removing the old bulbs was a little work, because they had come loose from the sockets. We unplugged the microwave, so we could grip the sockets with a tool. I think my husband used a needle nose plier for this.
The new bulbs screwed in easily, and then we refastened the light bulb cover with the phillips head screw driver.

Washed the glass tray and put in the microwave oven. Easy..

Loosened but did not remove screws that held up microwave over range,removed grill on top by loosening screws that held grill in place.removed small mesh grill on right side of microwave, this gave me access to capacitor ,diode is connected from one lead of capacitor to a metal plate ground,Disccarged capacitor to ground by shorting terminals to ground using a thick insulated screwdriver.Since the diode was screwed to the top of the metal plate I cut it out with a pair of side cutters .I then connected the new diode to the capacitor with my long nose pliers and groonded the other end to a more accessible part of the metal grounding plate.I then replaced all parts in reverse order.Works like a charm.

Unplug the microwave. Then remove the six screws that hold the lower panel which has the light bulb cover and a couple of vent filters. The light bulb sockets are on a fixture that is connected by a quick connect electrical connector. Disconnect that and the whole panel is free to access the bulbs. My bulbs were very fragile and trying to twist them out resulted in the glass twisitng loose with the base still in the sockets. I needed to use a needle nose pliers to remove the bases and then I replaced the bulbs and put every thing back together

I ordered another one and placed it inside the microwave. It works and fits perfectly. I received the order exactly as scheduled.
