I haven't replaced one on that particular model but it sounds like she is telling you to take the shell of the door off. There is nothing in there to hurt you if you prod around with a butter knife. Just be sure to unplug it first and you won't have to worry about voltage.
What I do when I have to repair something like that is to find a local appliance parts house that can sell you what you need. When you go in to pick it up, you can get them to help you find the info on how to. If the guy behind the counter doesn't know, you can always ask them to look in a manual for you. The worst that can happen is they will tell you that you have to buy the book. The best is they will show you. If you look along the edge of the door, there are often some screws beyond the gasket. There are going to be hinges or pivot pins to remove as well. Of course I'm generalizing now because I don't have yours in front of me. I have taken complete cases off of microwaves before and the mechanics of how something works kind of lays itself out for you if you dig around a little. The electrical guts are well inside and won't hurt you unless you go digging around all of the wires. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Engebretson To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 6:30 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Replacing Microwave door. I have a broken microwave door. It's a Fridgidaire FMV156DCC. I've got a replacement door, but can't find a service manual telling me how to do it. The service center at Fridgidaire said to use Google, and I did. I found a very similar post to my problem on a service/repair/do it yourself list, but it takes visual verification to register. sigh. Do any of you fine folk know how to replace the door on this model of microwave? The lady that I talked to at Fridgidaire said to stick my fingernail or a screwdriver into a slot somewhere on the door, but I'm kinda nervous to go prodding around with a knife, and I can't feel anything with my fingies. Sure do appreciate any help. Thanks, David [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
