How to Remove the Inside Screen for a Maytag Microwave

When installing a Maytag microwave for the first time in your kitchen, you must install the top and bottom brackets above and below the microwave door. The inside screen, also installed the trim kit frame, attaches to the brackets and fits into the inside of a microwave to work as a screen to the door. If the screen appears to be ripped or broken, you can remove it at anytime and replace it with a new part, which you can order from the manufacturer or from an online retailer.
