Ordered a new motor. Removed the outside trim of the oven-microwave combo. 2 screws at the bottom of the trim. Removed the screws that held the combination micro and oven unit in place. Removed the top and bottom black plastic grill of the microwave. 3 screws each. Pulled the entire unit out about 1 inch exposing the screws at each side of the microwave that hold it in place. Snapped off the top control panel which exposed the wiring connecting the control panel. Unplugged a couple of wire harness units to free the control panel. Be sure to label the units to know which goes where during reassembly. Remove the microwave unit from the housing and place it on its side. Remove the metal plate that houses the motor. 4 screws hold the motor in place. Disconnect the 2 wires from the old motor and you are ready to install the new motor. Be sure to TURN OFF THE POWER to the unit at the breaker box and remove the turntable from inside the microwave.
Very unusual. we had a brief fire inside the microwave which destroyed all the moving rotary parts.
First, we had to clean up all the interior surfaces, which was just cleaning. There was no internal damage. Then, just setting the center connector, rotary rollers and glass plate. Simple
Drive coupling cracked would no longer rotate turntable plate
used screw driver to pry up old part. lifted right off. line up drive couple drive push on. repair took less than 1 minute to repair. works like new Very Pleased with Parts Select replacement parts
Had left the small break in the handle go too long, There fore the screw holes in the door had wallowed out. Had to put some small washers in to bridge the wallowed out screw hole. The ends of the handle had broken off on the end of the mounting screws, had to use pliers and the screwdriver to get the plastic mounts off. There was enough room for the washers so no additional adaptation was needed. It all went back together very easily.
The old coupling melted and the tray cracked in half.
It took me 15 minutes total - 5 minutes to clean the microwave, 1 minute to install three new parts, and 9 minutes to enjoy my celebratory glass of wine!
Unplug the microwave. Then remove the six screws that hold the lower panel which has the light bulb cover and a couple of vent filters. The light bulb sockets are on a fixture that is connected by a quick connect electrical connector. Disconnect that and the whole panel is free to access the bulbs. My bulbs were very fragile and trying to twist them out resulted in the glass twisitng loose with the base still in the sockets. I needed to use a needle nose pliers to remove the bases and then I replaced the bulbs and put every thing back together
Broken handle (top of the handle actually broke off the screw)
After taking the three screws out of the side of the door, I actually had to get help from my Dad who came over and was able to pry the top corner of the door out of the casing. I was afraid I was going to break the door. Once he got the door pried apart, I was able to replace the handle, clean the entire door and quickly snap it back into place and then replaced the screws.
Took out 2 phillips screws on top, pulled the old grill out, hooked the tabs on the bottom of the replacement into place, positioned the top of the replacement, and replaced the 2 screws. 5 minutes. NOTE: Save the screws, new ones don't come with the replacement grill.
