Burned out light under microwave and Filters needed changing
I just removed the multiple screws which held the hood cover on. I then attempted to remove the light bulbs from the socket. This proved impossible because the bulbs were so fragile from the heat and grease build up. To make this task much easier and probably safer, just replace the bulb housing and light bulb. The bulb housing unplugs very easily. Just replace it then screw your new bulb in. P.S. Be sure to unplug appliance before you start.
The filters are very easy to replace. No tools needed.
when removing the bulb the base broke off and there was an ark took place as I had made a mistake and didn't unplug the unit before working on it , thought with the light switch off it was ok, but still had power in that area . So ALWAYS uplug before making repairs. The whole unit was dead and I checked for power at the plug and it was live. after unpluging I took the main control panel off and discovered a fuse was blown and replaced it along with a new socket and bulb and now it works like new . the fuses are inside small plastic capsuals so I back probed them with continuity light to find the blown fuse . It was quite simple once I found how to get the panels off. Just basic common sence will take care of most appliance problems thanks Louie Scholl

Need instructions to replace light bulb housing part # 8169539. The website has that info omitted part #8169539 from parts direct
For model number 66568611891
Hi Majorie,
Thank you for your inquiry. I have found a repair story from one of our customers that you may find useful,
"I removed the screws from the front and sides only. about 8 screws. I did not remove the screws in the back because I had enough room for my hands when the front dropped down. removed the plastic cover housing that protects the 2 power wires. Simply squeezed and pulled back to remove. Then removed the screw holding the housing in place which was accessed from the front just above the light socket. *** make sure you document or mark which wires go to which connector before removing the wires and make sure you test for power before handling them. If power press light button until no power. *** To much of a pain to pull stove out and unplug but that is the safest way. Then mount new housing with screw and plug in wires. Mine were white and blue. Make sure you thread wires through plastic wire cover first. and then close up bottom of micro."
I hope this helps with the repair. Thank you and have a great day!

Needed to change light bulb under microwave. Unscrewed the door, it dropped down and revealed the bulb. I tried to unscrew the bulb and it broke off, sparked. What do I do now?
For model number MMV1175JZ0
Hello Kenneth, Thank you for writing. Even when changing the bulb you should always turn power off to the appliance to avoid a harmful shock and a short to the electronic parts in the Microwave. The old Bulb may have corroded in the socket and the socket should be replaced. We hope this is helpful!
