JVM1651BB03 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

I used the internet and your directions to complete the repair. It was easy!

I removed 4 screw from the under carriage of the microwave then, removed the 2 screws from the motor, replaced the motor and replaced the screws. It was so easy it took only 4 minutes to perform, better than replacing the whole unit (microwave) and less expensive too. i only wish it was made in the US, I wouldn't mind to spend a little more.

removed electrical wires, unscrewed holder, inserted holder, attached wires, added bulb, and put cover back on.

First I replaced the cracked cooking tray and I was done.

Unscrewed bottom panel, then unscrewed light socket, then replaced with new socket and bulb. Reattached socket and panel.

Removed screws and old parts. Fitted new part to door and put screws back in.

1. Pried off the choke on rear of door to expose screws to door handle. 2. Using Phillips-head screw drive, removed the two scews to door handle. 3. Removed cracked frame from door - a bit difficult because frame is held in place by plastic tabs. 4. Removed door latch assembly from cracked frame and installed on new frame. 5. Refitted door handle to new frame. 6. Snapped new frame in place - again, somewhat difficult because of plastic tabs. 7. Replaced choke to rear of door - be careful because exact positioning of the choke is required and misalignment might crack the choke. 8. Enjoy saving over $100 in labor.

My microwave was squealing horribly and replacing the turntable motor (SUPER easy btw) didn't fix it. So I figured it was a spun bearing or bushing in the cooling fan (spoiler alert -- it was!). Installation was simple and did NOT require removing the cabinet-mounted microwave from its position above our stove: Unplug microwave, carefully unscrew the 2 screws holding the vent grate above the door, remove the grate, then unscrew the one screw holding the top of the control panel to the case. Carefully pivot top of control panel down and unhook it from the case (at the bottom of the control panel there are two little legs or extensions that insert into slots in the case). Then disconnect the 3 or 4 wires that attach the control panel to the wiring harness (I marked them each with tape so I would remember where they go, but you can just take a picture with your phone). Set the control panel aside. Where the control panel was, you will be looking at the fan, with a bunch of wires between you and it. Take another phone picture for reference, just in case. Disconnect the various wires, starting at the top right and working your way around clockwise. I marked each wire with a piece of tape and a number, starting from 1 and working my way around an imaginary clock face. I think I got to 12 and then the last two (sort of buried in the middle) I labeled as "0" and "-1" but you can use any numbering series you like. Once the wires are all disconnected you can gently push them aside and unscrew the two screws holding the fan assembly in place, and disconnect the fan wire. Then gently maneuver the fan assembly out the front of the case. Installation is simply the reverse of this simple disassembly process. Voila! Back to a nice quiet microwave.

Removed control panel disconnected old capacitor installed new and returned the leads back on to the new. replaced control cover and tested

Had to take to a local glass shop for sizing and to remove sharp edges. Will never order again.

This repair was one of the easiest I've ever done. I turned off the power to the microwave at the breaker, lowered the bottom panel by removing the screws, disconnected the wires to the old motor, pulled it out by removing two screws attaching it, attached the new motor with the same screws, connected the wires to it and that was all. The turnable has worked perfectly (and quietly) since.

First I figured out how to take the door apart to remove two hidden screws, once that was done it was easy to install the new part. The part came extremely fast and worked well. The picture with each part labeled helped too!

New one arrived very quickly.

Right part. Right on time. Fit like it should.

Excellent service.

Replacement tray was installed. It was larger than the original tray, but it fits in.

Placed the screws in the proper areas, used the screw driver to tighten down and I was in business with light to spare. I am happy to have found the proper screws.
Thank you.
