WMH31017AS3 Whirlpool Microwave - Instructions

Removed the face plate above the door (2 Phillips screws.) Removed existing filter and replaced with the new one purchased. Reinstalled the face plate.

I was sent the wrong fuse by you. I had to procure a fuse in another manner. Very disappointing. The repair was simple. It just took longer because of the failure to send the correct fuse.

This is an under the counter microwave. Simply removed the two screws holidng the vent grille on top of the unit, lift out the old charcoal filter, clean the vent fan exit surfaces then replace the filter and put the vent grille back. Be careful to not drop either of the two screws after one is installed as you will have to take the grill off and start the screw installation again unless you have a magnetic to retrieve the dropped screw. An easy five minutes at most to change.

when I opened the back cover of microwave, the diode was kind of blackish blown, since there was light bulb and fan were still working, i thought it could be problem with any one of the components like; magnatron or capacitor or diode, so first replaced the diode and mica at the end of the magnatron duct, there was problem with door switch as well. i fixed that too. Now it is working. It cooks bit faster, Wondering why?

I simply lifted out the glass rotating plate and inserted the new support. How complicated can that be?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open compartment, installed bulb, closed compartment

took it to Buttermore appliance in Auburn Indiana and he changed the fan and added another fuse

Took the front off and behind a plate was the fuse, so I replaced it for what good that did!!!

Replaced filter which came inrecord time.

slide into place under hood

You had alerted that it was imperative to unplug unit before starting to remove defective bulb. As described, there was silicon on bulb and socket and bulb broke upon my attempt to remove. Had to use needle nose pliers to get metal base of old bulb from socket, then all went well.

Removed the glass cover and replaced the bulb. Very simple.

I had no problem installing the new filter. Just used a phillips screw driver to remove the two screws holding the vent cover in place. Cleaned the dust out of the ducts and reinstalled the new filter. The screws must be held to the screw driver with your finger tips so you don't drop them in the vent cover. The most difficulty I had was in clearing the clean code from the screen. There are no instructions in the owners manual for doing this. But after several tries I got it.

I unscrewed the filter cover, replaced the charcoal filter and replace the cover. The other wire mesh filter slides right into place. You sent me the right parts for my filter replacement on my microwave. Easy install. Thanks

The problem I have with changing the bulb is my microwave is an overhead one and therefore I cannot tip it on its side to easily replace the bulb. I have to drop the lid down and carefully install the new bulb from underneath.
