RVM1535WMC01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

All one has to do is use a screw driver to remove the screws, one per lens.
Then lower the lens bracket, bend the 4 tabs holding the
lens, remove and replace the lens and screw the brackets back in place.

Less than 10 minuits.

My son=law did repair because I am elderly and it was necesary to remove the bottom plate of the microwave which I was unable to do. The microwave was installed in 1987 and I believe this was the first time to replace the bulbs. When my son removed them the bulb was diintergrated. That's how old they were. Once he was able to remove the underneath plate the repair was easy except for removing the old bulbs. I think that I could have done it myself but he was available and I am sure it was done much better. All in all the parts)bulbs) were correct and everything is workiin fine. This is a good place to order replacement parts. In fact I am going to order a new charcoal filter. He took the label off the old one and I am ordering the replacement. After all 1987 may have been a good year, but time for a new one. Mary

Since the job required replacing both the bulbs and sockets the unit was dropped from the wall. Used a towel and plywood to protect the range under the unit. Then these steps: Unplugged the power cable and placed a support board under the unit while removing three bolts from overhead cabinet. Next, removed support board and with a helper rotated the unit down and lifted it out of the rear wall mounting panel. Then turned the unit upside down, removed the bottom plate and unplugged the feed wires and two wires to each of the sockets. Next the single screws holding the sockets were removed and the sockets extracted from the mounting shells and new units were installed. When remounting the unit it was necessary to start all three bolts from the upper cabinet just a few turns and then tighten the center bolt completely first.

With many thanks to those who posted their experience and advice replacing the bulb, I was able to remove 5 of the 6 screws holding the underside panel and remove the socket which contained the broken off base of the bulb and extract it with needle-nose pliers. I had broken off the glass portion of the bulb trying to unscrew it due to the awkward contortion of my wrist-hand-fingers trying to grip the bulb inside the tight recess the bulb is mounted in. After concluding that I needed more information, I did a web search for 'Hotpoint RVM1435' and found helpful advice at partselect.com telling me to drop the bottom panel. Good call! Thanks everyone!

removed the lens cover with one screw and replaced bulb

Replaced light socket and bulb. Real easy repair.

I ordered a new plate and fit perfectly. No tools. no fuss no muss. Thanks Partselect.

Threw the old filter away and slide the new one in without any tools ! Filter should be cleaned every month - who knew ?

replaced the glass tray and the part fit perfectly in place.

Removed Panel on inside of door by prying it lose with knife gently . removed 2 screws, then gently prying the window out just enough to remove the other 2 screws and replaced the handle.It looks complicated but its not took me about 10 to 15 min. to do this job

Fist I removed the 5 screws under the microwave. Then I dropped the panel and accessed the socket. I removed the socket by removing the one screw and disconnecting the wires. Replaced the wires on the new socket, installed the new bulb and reattached with the screw. replaced the panel with the 5 screws and I was done. Easy

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

after one of the kids set the time to 10min instead of a minute for quik mac & cheese, the extreme heat from the small, yet intense fire melted the shaft of the motor drive and also melted the plastic coupling that goes between the motor and the glass plate. With a pwr screw driver it took maybe 10 min. The coupling slides upward inside the microwave itself. This type microwave is also a range hood. There are 5 screws that hold the bottom panel on,(which also holds the charcoal filter for the vent fan. After removing the 5 screws remove 2 elec. connectors allowing you to set the panel aside. The motor has 2 screws and thats it. Swap motor & reinstall panel and coupling then check operation.
