How to Replace the Outer Door Glass on a KitchenAid Superba Microwave

If there is a crack in the glass in the door of your KitchenAid Superba microwave then you need to replace the outer door glass immediately. The KitchenAid Superba models of microwaves have a door with a mounting bracket holding the outer glass in, which makes it easy to access the part. A new outer glass part can be ordered from the KitchenAid manufacturer or purchased from an online retailer.
