Hi! I am Helen from eSpares. In this video, I'll be replacing the waveguide cover in a Neff microwave. Safety first, always make sure that you disconnect the appliance from the mains before you start working on it. In this case, this is a built-in microwave, so the switch in the cupboard below. In order to make sure that you are getting the correct parts for your appliance, you need to know your model number.
This can usually be found on the door or inside of the door. In this case, it is found here. Before we replace the waveguide cover, we are going to remove the glass turntable and the roller-ring. These can often get damage when you remove them to clean them and they are available on the eSpares.co.uk website.
Now this here is the waveguide cover. The waveguide cover is a metallic sheet that guides the waves from the magnetron to cook your food. This can become corroded or get accidentally damaged. So if you notice sparks or arcing in your microwave, this is probably due to a damaged or dirty waveguide cover. So let's start by removing the old cover.
We are going to start by removing the screw that holds on the waveguide cover and then the cover just slides out. Now before we put in the new waveguide cover, we need to make sure that this area here is completely clean. So, now we just slide in the new cover and replace the holding screw. Now that the waveguide cover has been replaced, we can return the roller-ring and the glass turntable to the microwave.
Also, for a great way to clean your microwave, take a microwaveable jug or bowl with 300 milliliters of water, squeeze in half a lemon and pop the thing whole thing in the microwave for five minutes on full power. Once that is done, wipe away the condensation with a soft cloth and you will be left with a clean and fresh smelling microwave.
All these parts can be bought on the eSpares website except for the lemon. Thanks for watching.
