Blue film partly removed

I just bought a maytag microwave oven and mistakenly removed part of the blue film from the top. Is that film important to keep in its entirety for safe usage of the oven?

The blue film is not required for the safe use of the microwave oven. It is supposed to be removed and is only used to protect the appliance from scratches during shipping. Some consumers mistakenly leave this film on thinking it will make the appliance last longer. Eventually, over years of use, the film becomes difficult to remove and may remove the finish if you try to peel it off. I hope this helps you.

How do I change my MMV4205BAS to vent (recirculate) out of the front vent instead of the top vent.

Paul, if you look on top of the microwave before you install it you will see where the fan is located at the back edge. There should be 2-4 screws that hold it in place. Remove the screws and pull the fan up and out of the microwave and rotate the unit 90 degrees towards the front of the microwave and put it back in and replace the screws. That should be all that you have to do to get it to vent out the front.

How do i clean the inside of the door, it has a screen that prevents proper cleaning.

Normally the internal part of the door is not cleaned as there is a film stuck over the inside of the door stopping food and steam from entering the inside parts.

The silver tab is the neutral which is Blue.

Maytag mmv5156aas:The button overlay melted. How do I obtain one

your part number is 53001039.
Here is the picture
and it is in stock here (use coupon "New10" for 10% off)

As far as I can tell you need to remove the grille on top to get to the screw on top of the control panel/overlay assembly. The grille is usually held by 3 screws on top or in front of the grille.

Maytag microwave model#mmv500adb

A bad keypad may be worn out due to age, damaged, or it may have gotten wet or otherwise contaminated. Moisture and contamination can be caused by not using the hood fan when boiling on the stove top, spraying of cleaners, by storing the microwave in an unheated garage or shed, or infestation. I warn my customers to never spray cleaner directly onto the microwave keypad, since the liquid can get inside and "lock up" or even ruin the keypad or controller. Apply an alcohol-based cleaner (such as the purple kind) to a cloth (since paper towels can scratch) and gently wipe it off. I suggest to my customers that they NEVER use any ammonia-based cleaner (like the blue stuff) on a microwave, since the ammonia will crack and distort polycarbonate plastics. If you or a friend decide to work on it, we have *critical* safety and disassembly info at our site, which is linked at our listing here on FixYa: http://tinyurl.com/yzjozk You can find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your base model number (without the suffix) here: http://tinyurl.com/gv383
