removed old part and replaced

Remove the 8 screws in the bottom pan covering the bottom, unpluged the lights and motor plug-ins, slid or pulled the pan forward or to me and removed pan. prized the triange piece which fit into the glass tray to turn it to remove it. removed the two screws which held the motor in place. presto, got the model # off the inside panel and ordered the part on the compiiter, \. arrived in 5 days.
P.S. cleaned everything while I had it apart, toke longer than chancing the part.

Dropped the bottom of the microwave,removed the two screws holding the motor in, disconnected the electric wires, reversed the procedure and it worked like new!

Disconnect power to microwave. Remove plastic rotor attached to motor shaft. I had to pry up from underneath it with a screwdriver to break it loose. Cover surface below microwave as bottom cover screws are small and easily lost. Remove three front and two rear screws from bottom cover and it will swing down. Locate the drive motor on the cover, disconnect the power leads, remove one set screw and rotate the old motor off the cover. Reverse instructions to re-install new motor. Swing bottom cover back up and re-install the five small screws. I had a little trouble lining up the screw holes and it helped to use a finishing nail to align the holes in the cover with those in the microwave frame. Reinstall plastic rotor on motor shaft, reconnect power to microwave and test the turntable.

Removed old film, installed new horizontally and pulled it downward (match it along the top first). The cover required 2 "hooks" to be removed, only needed 4 clips. Used a screwdriver to remove the 2 clips.

Last week I removed the glass cover that was held in by one screw and removed the burnt out light bulb. I ordered the bulb and left the glass cover off until the bulb arrived. I had to wait until this evening to put the glass cover back on and fasten the screw because I have a window right next to the oven and the sun streaming in made it too difficult for me to see how to put the glass back in and replace the screw.

I removed the microwave oven from the wall by unscrewing a trim plate or frame that surrounds the face of the oven. Pulled the oven out of the cabinet. Removed the glass cooking tray and rollers from the oven interior. Turned the oven on its side to expose the bottom. I unscrewed the small cover plate in the middle of the bottom which exposed the turn table motor. The motor was attached by two screws and a connector plug. In a couple minutes I removed the motor and replaced it with the new one and reassembled the oven. I put it back in the cabinet and it works like new again.

Took the bottom of microwave off unplugged motor replaced it with new one (two screws) plugged it in replaced bottom and ther you go saved $240.00 over the local appliance repair company. Thanks Mike,

Straight forward repair. The item came quickly, and since I had taken the other motor out previously to test it, the instalation was a breeze. There are a total of 7 external screws for the cover and two internal that hold the motor in place. One screw driver is all you need and access to the bottom of the microwave (I was fortunate that mine was an above the range model so accessing the bottom was easy). Anyone with a little manual dexterity can handle this repair now problem!

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 removed the five screws that held the bottom plate in place. After removing the bottom plate, I unscrewed the one screw holding the drive motor, unplugged the motor, and then installed the new motor. Replaced the botton plate and then tested the new motor. Everything worked like new.

The part was less expensive than buying it from GE. I ordered the motor on a Monday morning and received it Wednesday afternoon. I was completely satisified with the price, part, and shipping time.

Thanks,

Removed six screws that allowed the "bottom" to swing down; then removed the two screws holding the motor - disconnected the two wires. Installed the motor and reversed this procedure to finish the project.
