I have a Kenmore Elite
Most of them you do have to carefully pry. You look on the inside of the door and you will see the choke seal. It runs around the whole outer edge on the inside of the door. Take a butter knife or a small screw driver and start to pop it up and out of the door. Slowly work around the door until it is completely free. Once you get that out you will see the door hook and will just have to look how it is mounted into the door. There will be a spring attached to it to allow it to pull up and down as the door is opened and closed. Make note of where the spring is attached to the inside of the door frame. It will have to hook onto your new part and back on the inner door.

The display screen has gone blank on my
The main displays are not fused, sorry, Also the display itself is not wired to the baord. It is either soldered on or has a conductive rubber pad under it to bring power to the crystal. Get your model number and either call sears or another parts company for a price and availability on the main circuit board.
I have a Kenmore refrigerator
Is the arm (on/off) switch down into the tray? You may have moved it up during the clean operation and inadvertently shut down the ice maker. Your temps are perfecto.

I Bought An Old Kenmore
One quick way would be to look on the top of the unit. Do you see empty screw holes where the screws going through the cabinet above it will go through and screw into the top of that unit? If no open screw holes on top of unit probably not an over the range model. Also, look under the bottom of the machine. do you see feet??? Or just aluminum screen vent filters. If feet and no filters probably a counter top unit.
Yesterday while using the stove top to cook some
Well I'm reaching here---if the bulb did not fracture/break then it sounds like a capacitor popped--check your owners manual for reset button but I don't think there is one for the lighting---In addition if you can see the circuit board--look for burn spot or wet spot. GL
Sears kenmore elite has a message display to enter tcp code. kenmore microwave oven
TCP is "True Cook Plus" in Kenmore speak.
Here is a cut/paste of a section of the manual.
*CUSTOMIZING TrueCookPlus' You may find that you prefer TrueCookPlus® to cook your food more or less. TrueCookPlus " can adjust to your tastes - to cook your food hotter or cooler - automatically: Example Clear 1. Press the Clear button. (§H§ 1 2. Press the TrueCookPlus® button twice. 3. If you want less cooking time when you enter a TrueCookPlus code, press 1. This will decrease the time by 6%. 345 4. If you want more cooking time when you enter a TrueCookPlus® code: Press 3 for 3% more cooking time. Press 4 for 6% more cooking time. Press 5 for 9% more cooking time. 2 5. Press 2 to reset TrueCookPlus* to factory setting default time. 6. Press the Start button.
I didn't try to clean up the copy
Hope this makes sense and helps.

Kenmore 64664300 microwave. 6
Timing a known quantity of water to boiling is probably the best way to make routine comparative checks on the efficiency of a microwave.
You have done more than most folk would do and have done almost all an ordinary handyman can do. Microwaves are now so inexpensive it is hardly worth repairing them now.
Probably the new magnetron is short of drive. There could be a problem with the supply to the transformer, the transformer, the rectifier or the capacitor.
There is a limit to how many multimeter tests can be done with a dead circuit before the voltages must be checked while it is operating.
The transformer has two outputs, one low voltage for the magnetron heater and one high voltage to drive the magnetron. The high voltage output CANNOT be checked with a normal multimeter!
The maximum range of a normal multimeter is likely to be 600 volts or maybe even 1 kv but the transformer output should be at least 2800 volts and could be as high as 3500 volts.
A special voltmeter for measuring high voltages would be prohibitively expensive and even an eht probe to convert an ordinary meter is painfully expensive.
