How do I take my stirella sx8040d apart - Microwave Ovens

To be honest-- it's not worth the effort. Some doors do come apart and some are glued together. If the replacement door is only listed as a complete door it doesn't come apart. If it does come apart, it requires prying the plastic frame off the inner side of the door to get to the screws. The frames usually crack if you are not careful. Contact Frigidaire customer relations and explain the problem and see what they have to offer either as a repair or explanation.

Hey friend, thanks for your inquiry!
I see you would like to take apart your Frigidaire microwave. There is not an instruction guide available to help in dismantling your microwave. Typically this is not a DIY job. I would recommend seeking assistance from a professional to properly take apart your microwave because improper removal of parts can be harmful or cause issues in the future for your microwave. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

That's correct the door has to come apart. Just be careful that screen is actually a choke to keep in any microwave radiation. Put everything back exactly as you took it apart.

Good luck

Ensure the device is disconnected from any power source before taking any of it apart. The power button is held in by a little catch which can be accessed by a small hole between the button and the vacuum body. Even if you can find something that fits down the hole it will be difficult to clear the latch. Once the button is out there is a torx screw holding the actual switch and wires down. The wires all have spade fittings inside plastic sheathes. Ensure the device is disconnected from any power source before taking any of it apart.

door doesnt typicaly come apart, door should be replaced. it is a barrier for harmful waves.

I would take the the microwave to a service center to take the case apart, and you can get a new part if necessary.

I would not recomend you take the case apart yourself unless you are very familiar with what to expect, and the safety precautions that are necessary.

For safety sake, you don't want something inside this appliance that can eventualy possibly cause a problem.

On alot of models the door comes as a complete assembly and can't be taken apart. Magic Chef is made by Maytag and I am pretty sure theirs do not come apart. If it does come apart then it is likely held togther by plastic tabs that have to be pried apart. The problem is they break easy and then you will be replacing parts. Guess you will have to decide if it is worth taking that chance because doors are expensive. I don't see your model # in the description but you can try looking a diagram by typing in your complete model # located on the sticker inside the microwave. Try sears.com and click on parts and various other repair sites. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

All my micros had the screw go through the handle into the micro...no need to take door apart, just screw it back in. Why would you need to take the door apart?
