FGMV173KBA Frigidaire Microwave - Instructions

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.

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

Really easy repair once I figured out how to remove the face plate on the rear door. Used YouTube video for a beginning reference. By the upper right hinge I used a butter knife to wedge into the seam and popped off the face plate. From there the door was easily taken off the hinge. There was four screws that held the middle jam in place that were clearly visible and easily removed. A small rectangular cover was removed with a screw and sliding upward motion to access the upper screw for the door. Handle was easily replaced and parts reassembled. Part was easy to order and replace with partselect.com- will use them again! Super fast delivery!

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!

My husband did it by just taking off the panel on the top of the microwave and replace old with new. We cleaned up some of the accumulated grease as well on the microwave. He had a little problem with the screws. We have done this before so no big problem. Thanks
