GLMV169DBA Frigidaire Microwave - Instructions

I removed the cover and was able to see the burned up transformer. I removed the transformer and did a yahoo search for the part. I found you guys and ordered the part. the part arrived as advertised and I installed it. The microwave has been working now for 2 weeks. One word of advice make sure to use masking tape and mark the wire hookup locations. I used my Blackberry movie as well before I removed the old transformer. I was able to see the wire hookup locations when it was time to reinstall.

Much like the other post: 1. Removw vent case on top (3 screws) 2. Remove cover with control buttons (1 screw). 3. Removed bottom relay switch and replaced. Tight working space so be patient. Took 15 minutes Needle nose pliers used to crimp connector onto switch

I managed to move the auger far enough to allow me to insert the cup-drive and then realign the auger with the new cup-drive. I also have had one to break very shortly after installing it. This is my second part to replace and this one went really smooth, since I understood that the initial parts installation instructions did not apply on my ice maker.

Determining the root cause was fairly simple - but one should always identify the basic repair part first that may be the root cause - in this order - Diode - HV Capacitor - Magnetron due to costs of fixing the issue. I found that after replacing the two major components it may have been just the Diod/Rectifier a low coat resolution - but one never knows if the issue was one or many problems that wouldn't allow the Microwave to heat. The team at PartSelect was very helpful and was able to expidite the Magnetron to my residence to start the repair process KUDO's to the Customer Service Team!

I found and removed the clip for the door - top on the inside (not easy to find) and then removed the door. Called support who told me to watch you-tube and there were good instructions there. Needed needle nose pliers to hold broken screw and a screw driver that could fit between the metal. Flat head and phillips are required. OH you should try to leave the screw in the hole as getting it back there is a PIA. Took about 20 minutes and I am challenged mechanically. Altogether, not too bad.

The new door is slightly different than the one I replaced. To install the new door, I had to remove the plastic "frame" on the new door with a small flat head screwdriver. Then, I could easily mount the door to the hinges on the microwave. Once on the microwave, I clicked the frame back into the door and it was good as new!

Open existing microwave door, Remove door interior trim, Lift door above hinge holes, Move top hinge pin away from microwave, Move bottom hinge pin away from microwave. Remove replacement door interior trim, Set bottom hinge pin in bottom microwave hinge, Set top hinge pin into top microwave hinge, install door interior trim, close microwave door and check closing. Door would not close completely to allow microwave operation.

Called an appliance repair service

I used a medium sized flat screwdriver to insert between the upper door hinge pin and the microwave hinge bracket. I applied prying pressure by twisting on the screwdriver and the door fell off. Recommend making sure you have a good hold of the door - It almost got my toes. Installation of new door was a little more concerning with the thought of damaging my new door. I placed the lower door hinge pin into the lower bracket. Placing the upper hinge into position for prying. I recognized it was going to be a tight fit. I used the screwdriver in the same way as take off. I struggled a few times with thoughts of cracking the plastic on my new door, but finally pried enough to get the pin in the hole. The plastic around the inner door popped out of place around the hinge, but snapped back in without damage. A fairly simple project that got my heart throbbing a few times with thoughts of damage control, but all is well that ends well.

Slid old one out and slid new one in (under tabs).

on the inside of the door we gently pried off the liner to get ot the hinges ,lifted off the old door, place the new one on ,then carefully popped the inside liner back in place. Door fixed

The old door came off easy quick. the new door was a little different. I used a flat head screw driver, popped the bottom hinge in first and I did the same on the top. The top you had to use more pressure and use a little more force to rotate the hinge to the pin hole.

OK folks. Take a butter knife and pry the top and pop off the bottom. Literally less than 2 minutes! Simple. Fast. Easy. Fit perfect!

Very easy repair. I popped of the inside plastic door cover with a putty knife, removed screws to old handle, inserted new handle and reinserted screws and plastic cover. It was that simple. The complete job took me under 3 minutes.

Piece of cake. Pryed the cover off of the back of the door with a flat head screwdriver and then screwed in the new handle.
