A few tips to add to the previous helpful posts:
1) Use a flat thin (~1” x 5”) flexible plastic strip (cut from a plastic disposable food container) to jimmy the microwave door open.
2) Use a thin screwdriver or stiff metal wire (e.g., from a wire clothes hanger) to pop the trim screw covers (if you have them) from the other side so as to not scratch the pop-on covers.
3) Keep the microwave level when moving it, so the broken cam piece doesn't get lost under the microwave.
4) Use a Torx security T15 bit to open the case.
5) Use a minimum 1 inch #4-40 screw and nut. It will be easier if the screw is 1.25" or 1.5".
6) Put a tooth/serrated washer before the nut to prevent loosening. I did it the first time without the washer and the screw loosened, the post got wobbly, and the plastic lever popped out after 8 months. So I put a tooth washer in the second time.
Hi,
What is the model number of the microwave oven?

Thanks Dave and Paul. This was exactly our problem. Called Sears Service and they wanted $362.00 to fix. And we would have to wait 3 weeks for parts. With your instructions is took us 3 hours and we used a bolt through it as suggested. Works great!
