FMV145KS001 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

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.

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.

Ditto everything else that has been written! I removed the old motor (two screws) after removing the lower screen and the filters (maybe 6 screws), then replaced it with the new motor. End of story. Everything else worked wonderfully. I can't even hear my microwave anymore! I am a woman and I completed this project - no problem - however, I dd get the hint to do this from a paid serviceman I had in my house for an ice machine repair on my Kenmore refrigerator, Kudos to him for suggesting that I could do it on my own. I did and I did so only because I was able to find the part on PartSelect.com. WooHoo! Now, can anyone suggest a fix for two of the burners on my gas stove?!!! The saga continues...

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.

Thanks to all previous posters .. and thanks to 'PartSelect.com'!

Removed screws,took down insides of micro dropped down on hinge, there was the little motor and it was one screw to remove, put new motor in and that was it. Simple as it said on web site.
I know we saved a fortune by doing this simple repair. Everyone here has GE so I am spreading the word on this.
Service was super, received part next day! Thank you!

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.

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.
