Replacing outer cover on over the range Samsung Microwave

I had to purchase a new outer cover on my new Samsung microwave. It is just a piece of sheet metal covering the top (which has to nuts to bolt to the underside of the kitchen cabinet. There are a number of screw around the edges but also in the middle I am wondering if there these are holding other components of the microwave or is the cover just a cover and I can simply remove all the screws lift it off and replace it with the new one.

How to remove door COVER from door of LG Microwave model LMHM2017ST

Here are the steps to remove the door cover from the door of your LG Microwave model LMHM2017ST:
  1. Unplug the microwave from the power source.
  2. Open the microwave door and locate the four screws on the inner edge of the door.
  3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws.
  4. Carefully separate the outer door panel from the inner door panel.
  5. You will now see the door cover attached to the outer door panel.
  6. Use a flathead screwdriver or plastic pry tool to gently pry the door cover off of the outer door panel. Start at one corner and work your way around the edge.
  7. Once the door cover is removed, you can replace it with the brushed silver cover from the new door.
  8. To reassemble the door, simply snap the new cover onto the outer door panel and then reattach the outer door panel to the inner door panel using the four screws you removed earlier.
Make sure to be careful when removing the door cover, as it can be fragile and may break if handled roughly.

The light in my microwave went out. how do i replace the light bulb?

Some have a plate on the interior of the oven that can be removed for easy bulb replacement but if yours does not you will have to remove the entire outer covering to access the bulb. If you have a combination microwave/Range vent you will have to remove the entire unit from the cabinet, then remove the outer cover, replace the bulb and re-install the combination unit.

My emerson microwave #mw8999rd shoots out fire from a silver piece of cardboard thats on the righthand inside of my microwave oven. whats with that?

There is electrical problem in your microwave heating circuit. This is a fire hazard and you should stop using this microwave and unplug from the outlet. This is not something you can fix and the fuse does not protect your system anymore. The best choice is to purchase a new one and throw this away.

My Goldstar MA 781M microwave has a "mica" like

That sheet is called the Waveguide Cover and its function is to stop debris and food entering the aerial and magnetron.
Replacement is essential and must be made of mica.
It can be purchased from a dealer at a reasonable cost.
Google the manufacturer and find a dealer.
Hope that helps.

Not heating. where is fuse?

Remove the outer cover. If the fuse is blown, there is usually a reason--a shorted high voltage diode and/or a shorted 'stirrer' bearing, which is a fan-like device near the area where the microwaves enter the cooking cavity and under the sheet-metal waveguide from the magnetron. Replacing just the fuse usually results in another blown fuse.

How to replace the light bulb of a Samsung Microwave oven M965 / M965CE

If there's no obvious removable cover over the bulb (most often on the rear or side) and the owner's manual doesn't address it, then disassembly will be required.

You'll need to remove the outer cover (wrapper) to get to the bulb.

Always unplug a microwave before removing or installing any bulbs.

If it's an over the range type, remove the vent grille across the top and see if bulbs can be accessed there. There may be a panel on the bottom covering the light(s), instead.

If not, chances are you'll have to remove it from the wall, then remove the outer cover. If so, the original installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.

Once it's out of the wall, the outer cover (wrapper) will need to be removed, just as you'll need to do on a counter top model.

On a counter top model, be sure it's unplugged, but otherwise ignore the instructions above this paragraph.

You'll need to remove the outer cover (wrapper) to get to the bulb.

See these links before proceeding:
http://www.microwavedisplay.com/safety.txt
http://www.microwavedisplay.com/disassembly.txt

The screws you need to remove should be pretty obvious, but a special driver (such as a T20H type or GTXH20-100) may be needed.

Be sure to put all the screws back in the right holes, since some may be special grounding screws.

Bulbs can be had locally in most grocery stores, hardware stores, home improvement centers, and big box or department stores.

Many models use halogen lamps. You must not touch halogen types with your bare skin, as the oils will shorten the bulb life.

Ge profile spacemaker over range microwave not heating

It was probably the Magnatron tube that went out , they are normally replaced only under warr. due to the cost to repair , the part is roughly 200.00 and labor ranges from 100-200. I guess it all depends on what it is worth to you , you can pick a decent brand new one up for about 200. Hope that helped you out. Phil
