Sharp carousel microwave R-1514 F

What usually breaks is the door open lever.

On an over-the-range model, only the control panel needs to be removed in most cases.

Please unplug the oven first.

At our site, we now have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

(Note: do not rely on the part numbers shown in the manual. Verify them at the Tritronics site mentioned below)

Once it is apart, you'll be able to see how the door open button would press against the door open lever, which would then lift up against the door latch heads (hook-like projections on the door) to open the door.

You can usually find exploded views and order parts by entering your model number here at the Sears parts site.

The best place to order Sharp parts is Tritronics.
