Top replacement parts for Hotpoint microwave hood combos

• Door handle. The door handle allows you to open the microwave door to pull you food after when it's cooked. A service technician should replace the microwave door handle because door shielding is disturbed during the repair process and the door should be properly tested for microwave radiation leakage before the microwave is returned to service.
• Circulation fan motor. The circulation fan motor drive the exhaust fan blades to remove smoke and cooking odors from the kitchen.
• Vent grill. The vent grill covers and protect the opening at the top of the microwave cabinet above the door.
• Exhaust vent damper. The exhaust vent damper allows exhaust air out but prevents air from flowing back into the kitchen from the exhaust duct system when the fan is off.

Testing dinnerware or cookware before use in a Hotpoint microwave hood combo

To test a dish or cookware for safe use inside your microwave, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Start the microwave at 100% power for one minute. If the dish gets hot, do not use it.

Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as could containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).
