Hi there,
After the light bulb of my Ikea microwave burn out, it came to me to make this video with some photos I took alone the way. The intention of it is, so somebody else do not make the mistakes I make like removing the front control panel, it was not necessary and hard to put back. In the manual there is absolutely nothing. If you have any questions, let me know.
Before you start taking any covers off, disconnect the electricity.
Cheers

More detail for people looking for help on a stuck button... While i was waiting for parts, I used my fingernail to pop out the center part of the button. Then used a bamboo skewer for a few days to push the button and start the microwave... Anyway, thanks to this video, I was able to complete this fix, alone, in about 20 min. To save some time, you can leave the microwave mostly installed in the wall. Behind the door, unscrew the outer most screws. Then the microwave can slide forward enough to reach the 2 screws for the control panel. You need a 2mm allen key. Then lift the control panel from the bottom. Take note of how the wired part of the button is sitting in the plastic housing (the broken part you need to replace). Take the wired part of the button out of the plastic housing. Break the housing (in my case, it was already broken) and remove it. With the new part, press it into the control panel from the front. It takes some force. Slide the wired part of the button back in place. Put the control panel back in place. Check, (with a bamboo skewer, for example,) that the button doesn't move when pressed. Take the center part of the old button, align the dimples on both parts, and press it forcefully into its new home. Check that it works and screw everything back in place.

In the interest of assisting anyone else with a stuck button.... I spent dozens of hours trying to figure this all out so I could keep the microwave out of the landfill. Like some others, I found that my Ikea microwave IBMS1455 (by Whirlpool) had a stuck start/add 30 seconds button. The button would not depress. Carlos Puig's descriptions helped me, and I wanted to add some details. See a set of photos here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZ9koKWA2qmbYH0.html 1. You will have to remove the microwave from its built-in location. That should not be difficult. As Carlos Puig advises, you remove the four screws that are visible when you open the microwave door. You then remove the microwave from whatever kind of brace or support it's attached to. 2. You will then be able to flip back the top glass panel which has the controls, by removing two star screws at the top of the right and left sides of the microwave. It's helpful to have the microwave lying on its back for this operation. 3. The button is held in place by a plastic shaft. That is the part that you will need to replace. Its flanges are easily broken. 4. Once you have the control panel tipped back, you will see how to remove and replace the shaft. Pinch the tabs that are holding the shaft to the glass panel. Remove the button from the broken shaft (there is no non-destructive way to do that), and push the new shaft into the glass panel, from the top and boldly. 5. Reattach the electronic button switch to the button mechanism. Confirm that the button depresses. Reinstall.

You need to remove the 4 screws inside of the door of the microwave to remove the two glass panels. after you remove that and depending how is install you will be able to see the screws to remove the top panel with all the buttons.

Jaime I'm doing that right now. Remove the side screws inside the door as Carlos said but then the black front button panel has 2 screws on both sides that needs removing then pull forward slowly & carefully to detach the connectors & remove panel to replace buttons. This is my 2nd time doing it.

Hi Sorry I did not get to you sooner. Depending in the installation of your Microwave. Do you have room on top of the microwave or is pretty much enclosed? If is enclosed you will need to remove the 2 screws on the right and 2 on the left to remove the glass cover in the front. Be careful because it wont come off just like that. Each side slide under another bracket you can see it in the second slide also screw to the frame of the wood I put in the video. Is maybe 1/16 so is easy to brake or bent. I will add some photos in a link for you to see photos.app.goo.gl/uy8pdYRuMdOGr1H82 You can see in the bracket then hold the microwave to the center of the wood frame have a little notch on it and the front plate, the 2 little metal fingers then need to slide inside of that bracket. If you are mounting it, then you need to take the screws off and slide the front covers up. I bent mine just a little wile I figured how to do it
