A cleaning product was sprayed on the seal tape on the inside of the microwave door. It seems to have penetrated the seal tape and left moisture in between the glass door front and the seal tape. After a few days the moisture has dried but now there is a white foggy residue. I would like to get inside the door and try to wipe off this residue. Is it possible to open up the layers of the door and clean in between? I looked under parts search and it looks to me like the first step would be to remove the door choke (AP3034157) but I can not see how to remove the door choke. Does this simply pry off? I'm hoping to do this without causing any damage as the microwave works fine now - just don't like how it looks. On the parts search diagram of the door I also see seal tape (AP4301215). Can I simply peel off the old tape, clean the glass then stick on new seal tape? Would this be better than taking apart the door? Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. ~Sheila

hi, The glass on door is stained. I peeled back a corner of the tape and tried to wash glass but it did not come clean really well. I was told by parts specialist to take chock off first using putty knife but be careful to not break it. Then I could buy new glass and film. I don't know if this is worth it as microwave is getting old. Did you find out anything as to how to pry choke off?
