JVM1870WF08 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Went on YouTube and found an example of my problem and watched it! That's how I knew which part to order. The part came within two days of ordering and I installed it within 10 minutes. My husband was so proud he told all the guys at work!

removed housing. saw t-stat was burnt. replaced t-stat by removing mounting screw and installing new t-stat. reinstalled mounting screw. reinstalled oven housing. 15 minute job.

Lifted off the glass turn table and just pushed the new plastic couple onto the drive post. The plastic coupler is splined, so just sit it onto the drive post and lightly turn it until it starts to drop and give a little downward push. That's it - about 30 seconds and the table is turning again.

it was a simple screw in on both ends. no soldering

When we moved into our recently purchased home, I noticed that the turntable in the microwave wasn't turning. I discovered that the coupler was missing and hoped that nothing else was damaged and that getting a new one would fix the problem. I ordered the part and it came the very next day, even though I got 3-5 day shipping. Didn't even have to unscrew anything to install it. It popped right in and the turntable works perfectly now.

Simple install. Thanks for your prompt response to my order and interest.

This is the second time this happened for me. The shaft for the Coupler breaks and will no longer let the plate turn. I looked at the instructions of letting the bottom of the microwave down, etc. and all I could think of is I don't think so. I used the tweezers to try to get the broken piece of the coupler but neither time was it intact. Could not locate the broken part so took the liberty of just putting the new part on the shaft, pushed down and viola I now have a turning table again. I am an 83 age female who likes to try being a do-it-your selfer. Of course there are times I am not successful but. . .By thinking back of why this part keeps breaking I think it may be my fault. I always turn the glass plate around manually when the handle of the cup or mug is out of reach. May be my fault and maybe not. Anyway this time I ordered 2 of the same parts just for future repair hopefully not needed. V.J.

bought a fuse but that didn't solve the problem. Guess I need a new microwave

There are five Philips screws on the bottom outside cover .one at each corner and one at the front center. Remove all four at the corners .leaving the front center for last. When the last screw is removed ,the cover will hinge down, it is attached to clips at the back that allow it fold down. The wire attached to the light socket is connected by a pull apart plug. Grasp at each end of the hard plastic connector and pull outward ,DO NOT PULL ON THE Wires ! Lift the cover from the back of the microwave place it on a flat surface on a towel keep it from sliding around. Remove the screws holding the porcelain sockets. Reverse procedure to reinstall .Installing new Halogen lamps is suggested. Use a clean tissue or cloth to handle the lamps, finger prints on the lamp will shorten the life .

Watched How to repair a Microwave that turns on when the door is opened Video on the web. From this took a shot at the switch was the problem. When I removed the switch it was defective. The small button was in and when you turned the switch upside down the button would drop back into position. Ordered a switch for $25.oo , installed it and the microwave is working fine.

I replaced the cover just fine but i think a sensor went bad

Pull cover off , located the bad magnetron . Then replaced it with the new one. About 15 min. Of work.

Turn off main power bracker. Removed fan vent, removed control panel, disconnect leads to the three monitor switches. Replaced the secondary switch (top). Reversed procedures.

Opened the microwave oven door, unscrewed two screws which held the control panel on, then I removed two of the door switches (each had two screws), and then used the continuity tester to see which one was not operating. It turned out to be the secondary door switch, replaced it and to my amazement, the microwave worked. I have never repaired an appliance before but I didn't want to replace our over-the-stove built in microwave. It was the best day ever when it was working again! The hardest part was getting myself to try the repair.

Removed inside caseing from microwave door with thinblade of screwdriver. Then removed tabs holding caseing in place.Removed the screws holding handle in place. Then replaced the new handle and screws.Replaced the caseing and tabs to hold it in place. Voila!
