Door spring on build in microwave oven
Is this a combination built-in oven with microwave on top? And is this microwave one in which the door opens downward like a regular oven? If so, then this is a common problem for this oven/microwave combo, but replacing the spring is not a job for amatures. It takes a professional 45 minutes typically to do this job. It involves removing trim pieces, removing screws that hold the microwave oven in place, pulling the microwave out a couple of inches, and taking the door apart to get to the 2 torsion-bar springs. Replacing them is quite tricky, as is re-assembling the door. I recommend calling Sears Service (1-800-469-4663) to get a seasoned repairman to come out and fix your oven/microwave. Cost will probably be between $180 to $200. If you need further help, reach me via phone at

Kitchenaid microwave model KCMS1555RSS-2 door stuck, does not open
Hi Chan Sing,
If your microwave oven is brand new and under warranty then please take it to the place where you bought it from to claim for warranty.
If it over warranty then try this;
First off the power and unplug the microwave oven, open the screws off the cover and slightly lift and pull out the cover from the microwave oven. If you are not a technician then be care full what you are doing.
After you have removed the cover then you will see that at the place you posh the door eject button, behind it there is the mechanism that opens the door when you push the button from outside.
Now you have to analyse the simple mechanism if you are a non technical person, in here you will have to lift a small plastic up which we can call the lever. this is made up of plastic and it should be white in colour.
If you have any problem please let me know.
Regards
Ashwin
Loud noise when cooking
I had an arcing sound coming from above the cardboard panel inside the microwave. When I saw it sparking I took the cover off and saw that these two aluminum looking things had come loose. I removed the cover and did a fair bit of 'fine tuning' to get it working again.
Ykhms2050 door removal
To remove the door, you must first remove the top and side cover. There are screws on the back side of the cover. After the screws are removed the cover should slid to the back and lift off. the door hinges should then be visible. Some more disassembly my be required to access the hinge fasteners. If this is a built in oven you mist first remove the trim kit so that you can remove the oven form the cabinet.
