Microwave Door Glass + Moisture

I have a over the stove microwave hood that has gotten colored moisture between the glass on the microwave door. Boiling brats in beer and the exhaust fan didn't do a very good job of exhausting the steam. I know it is just a cosmetic issue, but I am thinking of selling the house and it might be a little distracting to potential buyers to see little patches in between the glass door. Are there any easy ways to clean this out or do I have to try and find a new door or even a new microwave hood assembly? Thanks for any info provided. gatormike

You could get a new door from the manufacture, but you will have to make sure you do a radiation test to make sure that it seals properly when shut. It would be best to have the manufacture rep change the door.

Also, considering the incredible amount of money you will get for the house in relation to the cost of a microwave oven, you can sell it with a new microwave oven installed. The may even make the kitchen more likeable to the new buyer. That is what I would do.

Can the door be dismantled?

Usually the door can be taken apart, just make sure you don't leave out the metal screen when you put it back together.

Yeah, if you leave the screen out and stand too close to the window you can get a nice sun burn from it.

Joking aside, like James said it should be pretty straight foward if you can figure out how to take the door apart. Looking at mine I'd guess that it pops apart. Look for screws and if you don't see any take a small flat screwdriver and pry gently around the entire door. If it has some difficult spots look for screws under labels.

A lot of times you must remove the overall cover for the top, sides and bottom to get at the screws for the door hinges.

You don't really have to get to the door hinges to take the door apart, well not usually.
