The microwave is okay and it works, but there was a plastic part on the ceiling of the microwave (on the inside) which melted and fell off. It looks like a plastic piece that covered a duct. Is there any chance I could find a replacement part for it? Its one of these microwaves which is installed over the stove, so its kind of expensive to replace the whole microwave. Some information: Model number etc: Whirlpool "microwave hood combination", model MH1141XM Here are three images of the interior of the microwave: This is a closeup of where the plastic part went: http://www.gesticulations.com/public/gallery/Images/fun/micwave3.jpg Two other images: http://www.gesticulations.com/public/gallery/Images/fun/micwave1.jpg http://www.gesticulations.com/public/gallery/Images/fun/micwave2.jpg Thanks!

You have to order the nail and bushing to install the cover. Also I would recommend to clean the old paint with a sand paper and paint it using a microwave touch up paint. - The inlet cover Part number: AP3179868 - The nail and bushing kit Part number: AP3132154 - The microwave cavity paint Part number: AP4352777 Gene.
