That would be the service manual. You could contact Kichenaid for that, but I doubt the manual's necessary just yet:

You can find helpful exploded views of this model here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383

Unless you're replacing the entire door for some reason (what an expense!) then it's not recommended that you remove the door. If so, you'll have to carefully mark the hinges and the door to be sure you get it back in exact alignment. Otherwise, you'll have a chance of microwave leakage.

Instead, the door panels should be taken apart and then you can remove only the panels and parts that are needed.

In most cases, there is a choke cover on the inside surface that needs to be carefully pried apart, and that will allow access to the hidden screws, as the sample drawing shows.

Usually the exploded view is all that's needed, but if you nned more help, the service manual is the next step.

Light and door spring

I had a tension rod break in my door as well. There are two of them that cross forming an X and you can see them when you open the door and look in the crack. Fixing them is very easy once you get the outer panel w/ glass and the black molded plastic piece off. WARNING, when you open the door there are two screw on the inside top part of the door assembly. THEY ARE THE ONLY TWO SCREWS HOLDING THE ENTIRE FRONT PANEL/GLASS ASSEMBLY IN PLACE. I found this out the hard way. When the 2nd screw disengaged the whole assembly came crashing down shattering the glass and nearly cut off my toe. Be very careful when taking off the outside panel!!!

Next challenge...the black molded piece that also needs to come off. To remove this take off the piece that surrounds the exhaust tube to get at two screws that are directly underneath the molded plastic piece. After getting that off you have access to the two rod and can get them installed without to much trouble.

Again, be very careful when removing the front panel. My repair went from an 18 dollar tension rod to a $200 dollar front panel and nearly cost me a toe (yes, I was barefoot).

Broken door hook

The plastic cover on the inside of the door is purely push fit.
To force it off I used 2 strong stainless steel dinner knives.
By easing one knife between the internal glass and the plastic cover I managed to spring one corner by using the other knife on the external bottom edge of the plastic cover.
Try concentrating on one end and once this springs out it is easy to free the rest without having to take it off completely.
The hook is simple to do but be careful with the spring.
All in all it took 3 minutes!
