FMV145KS001 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Removed mesh filters from fan inlet (to clean). Removed 6 philips screws. THis allowed the bottom panel holding the light assemblies to hinge down exposing the floor of the microwave and the drive motor. Removed the connector from the drive motor and the the two screws holding it to the floor. Used the opportunity to clean this area greasy from cooking oils and such. Put in new motor rotating the glass plate in the microwave until the drive shaft located on the turntable. Attached the two screws holding the motor in place using a magnetc screwdriver. Swung the light panel back in place and put back the 6 screws. Replaced the cleaned mesh filters. Checked the unit out with a glass of water. Voila - it was fixed.

Removale of trapdoor,one screw. . Remove elec plug. Removed two screws holding motor. Replaced motor,put screws back. Took 4 minutes. No kidding. Had considered buying new microwave. Friend told me to look at parts select web site. So glad I did. Saved time and money. So easy. Will come back again. Old dog learned new trick. . Thanks parts selsct. Com. .

Turned power off to microwave.Removed 5 screws holding bottom cover of microwave. Removed 2 screws holding motor. removed connector wires. inserted new motor . connected wires and 2 screws. Replaced bottom cover with 5 screws. Everything working great now.

Motor came in on time and worked perfect.

Removed 5 screw to lower filter plate under microwave (under counter). Unplugged drive motor. Removed plate and drive adapter from inside oven by pulling adapter straight up. Removed one screw holding drive motor and then rotate motor to relrase motor ftom clip. Replaced motor in the reverse order as above.

Unplugged microwave (plugged in inside cabinet above so no need to kill the breaker)

Removed seven screws from bottom panel. (I suggest leaving the front center screw in to hold up the panel while removing the others.)

Removed two motor mounting screws. Removed plug from motor.

When removving the plug from the motor one of the metal connectors crimped on the end of the wire came out of the plug housing. Had to push it back into the housing before re-installing on new motor. To avoid this problem I suggest using a flat screwdriver to loosen the plug contacts from the motor before trying to pull the plug off.

I received the correct part in the amount of time promised. Great Service!

i unplugged the microwave then i removed the 5 screws holding the bottom of the microwave together. The entire bottom hinged downward. I removed the 2 screws holding the turntable unit. Removed the motor and wires replaced it with the new unit . Attached the wires Put the 2 screws back in place. I then moved the bottom unit in place . Replaced the 5 screws. Plugged unit in and presto the turntable worked again.Simple,took longer to explain than to do.

1. Unplugged microwave
2. Removed the 7 screws holding the bottom of the microwave in place (it thing swings down on a rear hinge).
3. Pulled plastic wire connector apart.
4. Removed 2 screws holding motor drive in place and pulled motor.
5. Installed new motor, replacing the 2 screws that hold it in place.
6. Swing up cover and install 7 screws.
7. Plug unit in. It's a snap, don't pay for a repair man. Also parts here at partselect were much lower than at GE's website. It's easy. Thanks.

The tray motor did not work, and I replaced it. The part was easy to identify in the partselect online catalog thanks to detailed photos. It was easy.

First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires.
I then reconnected the 2 wires to the new motor and tightened it back into place. I turned the microwave over and tested fine.
The only problem was that I couldn't find the motor I needed in the same rpm. But all turned out great.
Good company and very fast delivery.

It was really easy. Just removed the screws from the bottom panel, removed the drive motor by removing one screw that holds it in place. Replaced the motor and reversed the process to get everything back together.

could not have been any easier to replce motor . unplug unit,remove 7 screws, drop down bottom plate, unplug motor, remove 2 screws and replace motor. reverse steps to finish installation.
