FMV145KS001 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Told by appliance repair service that parts were very expensive and service call started at $80 minimum. Finding replacement motor on your site was very easy. Instructions on repair were very complete and included pictures of the motor itself which had same capacity as replacement motor. Before ordering part from PartSelect I followed the online instruction for repair/replacement of the Microwave table motor and it was exactly as described. Removed filters and 10 screws with a single Phillips head screw driver. Motor looked the same as picture and ordered it. Part arrived in 24 hours and it took 4 minutes to replace the motor from start to finish. Total costs including shipping was approx 40 dollars. Great service and great site. This is my second repair using PartSelect.

The repair was extremely easy. Remove seven screws in the bottom trim, slip the electrical connector off and remove the two screws holding the motor. Slide the new motor into position, replace the connector and screws.

As others have desribed - remove 5 screws from the bottom cover. Lower cover and replace turntable motor with 2 screws.

Removed the screws holding the bottom cover on, removed screws holding motor in place, replaced motor, put everything back in. Simple as changing batteries.

The nice thing is that PartSelect, as always, delivered exactly what I needed and very fast. Ordered on a Wednesday and received it on Thursday (the very next day!)

Repair was simple. Remove screws on bottom panel of microwave, let cover hang on hinges. Remove two screws from drive motor, remove old motor, insert new motor, replace two screws, then reattach bottom panel. Done!

Quiet has returned to my microwave:-)

I also discovered that the (night light) bulbs are much easier to replace when the bottom panel is lowered.

The delivery was lightening fast...which I didn't expect. Great service.

First I shut the circuit breaker off for the microwave.
I then removed the six screws on the full undermount. The motor was visible; it was simple to unscrew the 2 screws on the motor; pulled it away from the wire/plug and disconnected it.

It was just as simple to plug the new motor in, then screw the unit it place with the 2 screws.
That was it...just replaced the undermount and turned the cicuit breaker back on.

And to think GE said to buy a new one!

7 screws, lowered the bottom and replaced the motor with two more screws. It was fairly easy and I'm pretty proud of myself.

The installers grouted in my above the top microwave so the bottom didn't hinge down as easily as it should have. But it worked.

Removed screws from bottom of microwave. Had to invite my neighbor over to remove one of the screws... he used his impact drill.

Found out that the motor was working fine. It was the brown piece that the glass cooking tray sits on that was broken.

I had removed the glass tray and tried to pull out the brown piece...but, it wouldn't come out and so I assumed that it was intact and thought that the motor wasn't working.

It's great that it's so easy to return parts to PartSelect.

First I removed the 6 screws that hold the bottom of the microwave . I was able to see and get to the cooking tray drive motor. I removed the 2 screws and took out the motor. I replaced the motor and replaced all the screws. Started the microwave and it worked , no problem.

I thought this would be a major project but tured out to be very simple - 7 screws, 10 minutes and done.

Simple as could be: unplug the microwave, remove 5 phillips screws to access the motor, remove the 2 phillips screws holding the motor in place, un-clip the motor from it's power supply, and reverse the process; you're done! It took all of 3 minutes to complete.

I removed the 7 screws on the cover for it to drop down. Then disconnected the 2 plugs from the motor and removed 2 screws that was holding the motor in place. Connected the new motor to the plugs, screwed back in place, and then screwed the cover up. Total time: approximately 15 minutes. I suggest you put a towel on top of the stove for protection. Easy to do. Thank you.

The ground shipping took less than three days. When I got home from work the part was at home. While I was having dinner I told my 17 year son to get a phillip screw driver. He unplugged the power from the wall. He removed five screw from the bottom of microwave. He then removed one screw from the drive motor, disconnected motor plug, reconnected the plug to the new motor, placed back one screw on the motor and screwed back the five screws. Tested the microwave and the tray was turning successfully. It took my son less than five minutes. Real easy and highly recommended.

Part arrived sooner than expected---great service!!!!Simply drop down the light/grill panel under the unit--it's hinged in the rear. Unplug and unscrew the motor --replace in reverse order. Done PS -Local GE sales and repair could not get this motor. Said GE no longer provided , too old---6 years
