I purchased this to replace the broken microwave oven cover grille for my LG "Extend a Vent" model over the range microwave oven, and it fits perfectly.
I had to be careful during the installation not to break the plastic latch on top left side of this vent grille, cause one of the reviewers had mentioned that it happened during the installation.
Apparently there is a short tiny screw there on the top left side of these microwave ovens, and the plastic latch with a hole in it, on top left of this cover grille attaches to that screw.
When I was trying to install it using a small step stool to stand on, that screw wasn't visible, till I used a taller step ladder, then I realized where the problem was, and why the original vent cover grille broke in the first place.
When some people, like myself, want to change or to clean the charcoal filter on the top front of these microwave ovens, that's covered with the plastic vent grille, they need to remove this cover grille first, and they just pull the cover grille down, without removing that tiny screw on the top, that's holding it in place, and the plastic latch on the cover grille breaks.
So, to install this vent cover grille, I opened the microwave oven door, I used a tall step ladder, and while at it, and to avoid extra work later, I replaced the old greasy charcoal filter with a new one, that I had ordered from Amazon, specifically for my microwave oven model, then I removed that tiny philips screw, located on the top left side of the microwave oven, and I installed this new vent grille, placing the "Slide to left" imprinted on this vent cover grille to the left, and put the tiny screw back in, making sure that it sits right inside the plastic latch hole, located on the new cover grille, before tightening the little screw.
Looks as good as the original cover grille, for half the price.
(See my attached pictures of the new vent grille, the location of the little attachment screw, and the old charcoal filter, that I already replaced with a new one.)
