How do I go about replacing the entire door assembly ( part # WB56X10745) on the microwave? Does the entire outer cover have to be removed to access the top and bottom brackets that the door hinge pins fit into?
Thanks for any help. Marty
I replaced the door (part #WB56X10482) to my GE profile Advantium 120 over range microwave.
- Remove the top vent grille at top of microwave by removing the 2 screws on top nearest to front edge of microwave. Then gently tilt the top of the grille forward and lift the grille out. You will notice that the grille has 3 tabs on the bottom that sits into spaces in the microwave. After removing the grille, you may want to clean it and remove the accumulated grease.
- After removing the grille completely, open the microwave door all the way and then lift the door completely off the 2 pins that it’s sitting on. I had no problem in doing this since the grille was out of the way.
- Put in the new door the same way by sliding the door top and bottom pin receptacles onto the 2 pins.
- Replace the grille by seating the grille tabs on the bottom and tilt grille forward. Finish by reinstalling the 2 screws on top of the grille and you’re finished.
I did not turn off the power since work did not come close to any elec wires or controls.
Hope this helps.
