My microwave Mica Waveguide Cover fell apart. Can I use my microwave while waiting for the new part to arrive? 363.63679201

Thanks for the inquiry and for using SearsPartsDirect.com. Hopefully you know the risks of repairing this type of part yourself, especially the wave guide. I would not recommend to use the microwave without it. Read below for the disclosure on microwaves:

I can appreciate wanting to diagnose and repair the microwave yourself, however I strongly recommend against it. We do not give repair information on microwave ovens because they are inherently dangerous to service. Microwaves contain high voltage internal components that can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the microwave is completely unplugged. You need special equipment to work on a microwave starting with an anti-static wrist strap grounded to the microwave to even test components in it. Even minor door repairs and adjustments can cause microwave leakage, and a microwave shielding leakage test MUST be performed using a survey meter after any microwave service.

 

If you are not a qualified microwave technician or don't have the necessary safety precautionary devices, you may be putting yourself in danger by working on the microwave. If you would feel more confident have a Sears Home Service technician help assist with the diagnosis/repair,
