Top oven grill brackets on Model SE553

Usually, there are 2 or 3 screws on the top of the microwave that hold it up to the bottom of your cabinet. Have someone hold the microwave while you remove those screws. Then allow the microwave tip down about 20?, then you can lift it off the bracket on the back-bottom of the microwave, and remove it. NOTE: On some older microwave ovens, there is a lever or latch behind the grill vent that you need to pull to allow it to tip down. And on a few (very few) microwave ovens, there are 2 support arms that the microwave will slide out on, instead of tipping down.

Is this an over-the-range (OTR) microwave oven or a counter-top model? Assuming it is an OTR model, your can get to the fuse by first unplugging the microwave, then removing 2 to 4 screws over the grille vent. Remove the grille vent. Depending on the model, you either slide it to the left a little bit (1/4 inch) then pull it out, OR tilt out the top of it followed by the bottom. Now you should see 1 screw that hold the top of the control console in place. Remove it, then lift up on the control console to get past the tabs, and tilt out the top. Now, depending on the model, you may see the fuse behind the control console, or if it's not there, then remove the 1 or 2 screws that hold the metal grill vent that's located above the control console. Remove that metal grill, and your should see the fuse behind it. Sometimes that fuse blows for no good reason, other times it blows because you have a shorted high-voltage capacitor, or you may have a sticking "monitor" door switch.

We have a video how to replace the grill element and a part of the video shows how the element is support with bracket and it might help you

The only solution here is to use the largest self tappimg screws you can find to secure the element to the oven top as the metal has corroded away.

What you need to do is obtain 2 large self tapping screws,and resecure the element to the top that way, or failing that , fit 2 cavity wall screws, these will also do the job, but you may have to enlarge the holes.

screw at top of element is for support.. there are either 2 screws at the rear of element bracket holding it or access to behind the rear panel is required as there are 2 nuts holding the grill bracket to rear cavity. please make sure power has been disengaged before attemt to repair..

Remove two screws on top at front in order to remove plastic front vent grill. Then the door lifts off pin hinges. Lay door flat on surface. Plastic trim snaps off with gentle prying (start at bottom middle and bottom hinge side). Then remove six screws holding notched metal section with door latch. This piece will also snap out (several visible clips holding it around edges). Then remove door handle screws, Replace handle and reverse process to put back together.

There are a couple of solutions to this prob,
You can get some plastic metal and build up the corroded area after cleaning it first, then you can drill a new fixing hole for screw.
The other thing you can do is to cut a small metal plate to fit over bad area, drill and fix it to oven liner, again drill a new fixing hole for element to be secured.
Plz rate my solution.
Thanks.
