JVM1660CH03 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Just removed the screws from botton of unit, unplugged and removed the burned up motor, reveresed the process to install new motor. Less than 10 minute job.

unsrewed the bottom of the microwave(there was about five or six screws)located the motor unpluged it and unscrewed the two screws holding the motor once installed i reversed the proceedure and put everything back together...simple as 1,2,3...

Removed 5 philip head screws from under panel. Under panel droped down exposing drive motor. Removed one drive motor screw, replaced with new motor at the same time lining up new coupler. Pressed together, reinstalled motor srew, attached wire coupling and tested. Worked fine. Reinstalled lower panel screws (5)and unit was ready to go. I ordered two of each units because I believe this to be weak link in the unit. It was only 2 years old, used little as I have another home. I recently installed a like unit (Hanging) and it was a breez. 4 srews properly placed, electrical cord hole properly drilled & ready to go in 45 minutes.

I diagnosed the problem myself. I googled GE parts and was refered to you guys. I ordered the part and it took less than a 5 days to arrive. I used a phillips scewdrive to remove the cover of my microwave and removed the turning glass motor. This took less that 30min and cost less that $50.00. I figured that it would have cost me approx $125.00 to get a tech person to my home for this repair.

Thanks a lot!

removed the bottom plate from microwave and replaced parts

I took the glass table up and underneath was the turntable coupler. I reached in with my hands and gently pulled the old coupler out. Once out I lined up the new one and gently pushed it in the hole until it locked into place. The process took about 5 minutes to complete. Very easy to install.

bought a replacement for it

thank you for the video--very clear, responsible, applicable although the illustration was not exactly of our kind of light. the bulb was exactly like the one Hotpoint used in its microwave made in 1989! I will come back to you for parts in the future. (You have the model # from my original order.)

I read several customer reviews before starting the repair. Removed the old drive motor to make sure I was ordering the correct part. Removal consisted of removing the screws on the bottom plate, disconnecting the electrical plug from the motor, and removing the one screw that attached the motor to the housing. Installation of the new motor was the reverse.

took screws out of bottom of microwave.dropped down bottom cover to get at drive motor I took out one screw droped down cooking tray motor disconnnected 2 wires reconnected put back up and put 1 screw in ,fastened bottom and was fixed very easy ,and parts select is the best place to find what you are looking for if I ever need parts this is where I will order from service is great and only took about 2 days to receive my part .I went to store where I bought my microwave and they wanted to sell me a new one.saved over $200

removed the srews under the unit unplugged the rotor motor and unscrewed 2 screws holding in the motor. When new motor arrived I plugged it up and put it on with the 2 screws and then put the bottom filter screen piece back on with the 6 little screws. REal, real easy.

easy repair. removed seven screws on the underside of the microwave and lowered the bottom cover. removed two screws from the old motor, unpluged the wires. reversed this sequence to install. took less than 5 minutes.
I had previously read these steps others had posted on partselect so the job was a breeze!

Unplugged microwave from the wall. Removed the screws on the bottom of the oven. Detached the light, removed the bottom panel. Unscrewed one more screw on the turn table motor and twisted to remove. Plugged in the new one and reattached the Electrical wires and bottom panel. Piece of cake. Just don't forget to reconnect the lights!

The Glass cooking tray was very noisy. This was verified by turning off the tray rotation.

1. Removed the two metal filters.
2. Removed the screws holding the bottom cover of the microwave. 6 or 7 I believe.
3. Removed the two screws holding the drive motor in place.
4. Started the microwave with the motor hanging down to to verify it was defective. I could hear the motor rotating and making noise.
5. Replaced the motor, bottom cover, & filters in reverse order.
6. Tested, Works fine!
