How. Do I remove cover of JEM 31 microwave? Only 3 corners have screws on the bottom. On the back the bottom screws are star shape with a hollow space around a peg. This information is not in manual.

It is cheaper to just replace the oven.

You need a special screwdriver to get those star shaped screws out. I would suggest going to a hardware store or their website and look for "Tamper-proof Torx" screwdrivers or bits. You are probable going to need either a #15 or a #20 bit to get those screws out. Normally there are no screws on the bottom that hold the side cover on unless they are actually on the side of the microwave. The front is held on by clips mounted on the cover itself, so you need to make sure you catch them when you put the cover back on. Good Luck!

there should be screws around the back and at the front corners at the bottom then it should pull off

Some models use an tamper-resistant screw which can be removed with a specially-designed tool available from home improvement stores & appliance parts stores.

But some folks just use a hammer to tap and loosen the screw, then a Torx, "star", t-type, or small flathead screwdriver can be used to remove the screw.

This detailed photo below shows how a small screwdriver fits into the screw head:

Sometimes the screws are tough, so you may only be able to just bend the post slightly with a punch, then a small flat blade will "grab" enough to turn the screw. Pliers on the handle will help, too.

Another creative solution is to use a hacksaw or a Dremel tool to carefully cut a slot in the head so a flat blade will fit it.

NOTE: Always be sure to put any silver-colored cover screws back in the same holes they came from. They are often used to ensure a good safety ground from the cover to the chassis!

How do i shut beep completely off EM720CWA-PM ?

I had a similar issue with this beeper it goes off like an air raid siren.
I removed the 5 top cover screws (2 of these screws require a special star tipped screwdriver. I unscrewed them with a small vice grips -not easy but it can work), With the 5 screws removed carefully pull and slightly lift the cover back toward the rear of the microwave, it's stubborn but will come off with several persistent tugs.

the speaker is now accessible, it's on the circuit board just behind the control panel. You will see a 3/4 "x 3/4" black plastic shroud shaped like an arch protrouding from the circuit board, which houses the speaker. the speaker is visible within the housing and appears as a small metal disc about the size of a quarter. There are two wires soldered to the surface of the disc, reach in with a pocketknife (I used an x-acto knife) and sever/cut one of the wires. remember to pull the wire back so it can no longer make contact with the speaker. reassemble and you will have a "beeperless" microwave, it works fine without the speaker.

Unplug the microwave oven from its power outlet or turn off its circuit breaker. Remove the right fuse from the home fuse-box if your microwave is a built-in model.


Open the microwave door and take the top pin off its pivot bracket. Lift up the door and remove it from the bottom bracket. Lay the microwave door with its front side down on a folded towel. Remove the two choke screws from the door frame using a Phillips head screwdriver.


Remove the choke cover with the knife blade, starting from the microwave door's top right corner. Pry out the bottom and top right sides, leaving the side which houses the door handle in place.


Remove the choke tabs from their slots on the microwave door frame using the knife blade. Continue to work clockwise around your microwave door; remove the choker cover when you get to your handle's side to separate it from your choke.


Remove the two handles with the Phillips screwdriver. Remove the handle from the microwave.


Screw the new handle in the position of the original handle. Lay the choke on the microwave door; set the choke cover right on top of it. Insert the choke tabs into their slots on the microwave door frame using the knife blade.


Secure the two choke screws using a Phillips head screwdriver; set the microwave door back on the bottom bracket. Slide the top pin into the microwave's pivot bracket.


Press the top pin down until it pops securely into place.

Probably a Torx, square or star driver or bit. A very small flat screwdriver at an angle may work if you can catch one of the edges of the "star" shape.

Changing bulb in DeLonghi ED 8525S-SBD
This is merely an account of how I fixed mine - do this at your own risk. The oven is full of high-voltage items which include large capacitors which are not discharged when you unplug it from the mains. You can still get a life-threatening shock from the charge which is stored in these components. 
Therefore do not touch ANYTHING electrical except the bulb connectors.
1. Unplug the oven and place on a suitable surface 2. Remove the cover. This is held by five screws at the back of the of the machine. Three are along the top and are philips type and the other two are on the bottom left and bottom right corners and are star-grip. The cover must slide backwards first before coming off. 3. Find the bulb holder. It is located on the right of the oven as you look at it from the front. Turn the oven so that its right side faces you. The bulb holder is an oval black part with two electrical connections coming off it. It is about 6-7 cm long and 3 cm wide. It is mid way in the oven (from top to bottom) and a little towards the front. It is held to the oven frame with two bent metal prongs 4. Remove the electrical connectors by sliding them backwards. 5. Bend back the prongs and lift out the bulb holder. 6. The bulb in a 20W 240V oven lamp with a standard oven lamp screw-on fitting. 7. Replace the bulb. 8. Put the bulb holder back in place, bend the prongs back to secure it, re-connect the electricals. 9. Replace the cover and screws.

The lamp is located under the stainless top cover of the microwave which unscrews from the back and sides, the bottom corners in the back have special torx screws which are meant to thwart you from removing them but a pair of locking pliers does the trick. Then under the cover on the top of the microwave there's a black elliptical shaped base with only 1 screw holding it down, that is the lamp. Pull the female spade connectors from the lamp, unscrew it and take it out. Oster has about the worst customer service around so i have not verified that they will sell a replacement lamp but if you can find a 20W 120V replacement with spade connectors that will do.
