How to Replace the W10843943 Whirlpool Microwave Vent Damper
Replacing a vent damper on a Whirlpool microwave can be a tricky task. A bad or broken vent damper can cause problems with airflow and cooking, leading to sub-par performance. Fortunately, it's relatively easy to replace the vent damper yourself with the right tools and supplies. The procedure may vary slightly depending on your particular model of Whirlpool microwave, but the basic steps outlined here should still apply. Read on to learn how to replace your Whirlpool microwave's vent damper with ease.
Materials:
• Replacement W10843943 Whirlpool vent damper
• Screwdriver
Step 1: Unplug the Power Cord. Before you begin any repairs, make sure to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. This is for your safety and should always be the first step in any repairs.
Step 2: Remove the Grill. On most Whirlpool microwaves, the vent damper is located behind the bottom grill. To access the vent damper, you will need to remove this grill. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws that hold the grill in place and then carefully lift the grill out of its recess.
Step 3: Remove the Vent Damper. Once the grill has been removed, you will be able to access the vent damper. Use a screwdriver to loosen and remove the screws that hold the old vent damper in place. Once the screws have been removed, pull the old vent damper out of its recess.
Step 4: Install the New Vent Damper. With the old vent damper out of the way, position the new vent damper into its recess and use the screws to secure it in place. Make sure to tighten the screws securely to ensure proper installation.
Step 5: Test the New Vent Damper. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet and run a quick test cycle. Monitor the performance of the vent damper to make sure it’s working properly. If all is well, you can move on to the next step.
Step 6: Reinstall the Grill. Finally, reinstall the bottom grill. Use the screws to secure it in place and then plug the power cord back into the wall outlet. Your Whirlpool microwave is now ready to use!
