Brace yourself for what you’ll find under there. Marbles, toy cars, dust bunnies, you name it. Might as well get the vacuum out to tackle under there while you have the drawer out (if you Give a Mouse a Cookie. Right?!)

Use the screwdriver to remove the screws almost all of the way.

    Regarding the double glass door on the micro wave oven, I have been told this is a sealed unit and not to be tampered with. I have been thinking about getting a mirrored like contact paper and just covering the glass panel. So far haven’t been able to locate contact paper of that sort. Any suggestions would be appreciated

    I’ve squinted at every picture above to try to read the brand on your stove but had no luck. I’m hoping my Kenmore will come apart as easily. What brand do you have?
