YKHMS1850SW0 KitchenAid Microwave - Instructions

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

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

Set in place and installed 2 screws. Took less than 5 min.

Replacement was easy as outlined in the microwave manual.

Unscrew lens and direct access to surface light cavity. Removed old light bulbs and replaced with new bulbs. Reassembled lens cover and turned lights on successfully. Took less than ten minutes.

Unplug appliance. Remove total of 7 phillips screws from sides and front of bottom panel . Panel front drops down, remove one socket screw and socket. Now have access for lineman' s pliers to unscrew bulb base. Reinstall socket, replace bulb and 7 panel screws. Restore power.

Replacement of new vent grille took less than 5 minutes. I just wished Kitchen Aid made a product that lasted longer than 3 years. My part arrived very quickly, less than a week. Service was great and so was your price. I had no problem locating a replacement part. Kitchen Aid would not give me the parts number so I did not know if I was order the right part. But you photo really helped to narrow the correct part. Thanks

Looked up the Whirlpool Co. and ordered the part. It was quite simple. Arrived in 2 days and I simply placed it in the microware. It was very very easy!

This wasn't really a repair, just an replacement of the filters, which is a regular maintenance requirement.

Removed old screws and pieces of plastic. Replaced new grill vent with old screws. Could not have been any easier

All it took was 2 screws and it was done - could not have been simpler.

Remove two screws, remove grill/bracket, replace grill/bracket, replace two screws and your done. Recycle if You Can.

Opened door and put new plate in.

Placed order on Thursday evening and received Sat Am

Removed remaining plastic around 2 screws. I recommend a Magnetic Phillips Screwdriver, screw holes are a little Offset, and mount screws are small. I used Needle Nose Pliers to hold screw, to get it started. Really simple install.
