Unfortunately, removing the touch panel on a Whirlpool WMC30516HZ microwave can be quite tricky and requires careful disassembly. Attempting it without the proper knowledge and tools can lead to further damage.

Here's what I recommend:

1. Safety First: Unplug the microwave from the power outlet before attempting any disassembly. Remember, working with electrical appliances requires caution.

2. Consult the User Manual: Although the touch panel on your model might not be sold separately, the user manual might offer specific instructions for accessing the control panel for troubleshooting or cleaning purposes. Check if there are any disassembly diagrams or instructions relevant to your situation.

3. Search for Online Resources: Look for online resources like repair manuals, YouTube videos, or forum discussions specific to your Whirlpool WMC30516HZ model. These might provide detailed instructions on how to remove the touch panel safely.

4. Consider Professional Help: If you're uncomfortable or unsure about proceeding, it's best to seek professional help from an appliance repair technician. They have the expertise and tools to diagnose the problem and fix it safely.

Additional Tips:

  • Take pictures before starting any disassembly for reference during reassembly.
  • Label any screws or connectors you remove to ensure they go back in the correct place.
  • Avoid using excessive force, as this can damage delicate components.
  • If you decide to proceed yourself, remember that replacing the touchpad might be necessary if it's faulty. Research the availability and cost of a replacement before proceeding.
