That was it...

Removed filter, removed five (5) screws, lowered lower pan, disconected feed wire, removed screw holding the moter, twisted old moter out. Twisted new moter in, replased screw, conected feed wire, closed pan, replased five (5) screws, replaced filter. Tested microwave with glass of water in it.

All went well.

From part order to finish was less then five (5) days.

The price was about $50.00. The people that sold it to me sugested I buy a new one because it would cost as much to have a service call and part as it would be to replace the microwave.

Removed one screw, installed new lense in lense frame, rescrewed. Done.

Removed the five screws that allowed the bottom panel of the microwave to drop down at an angle, still attached at the rear. Took the old motor out by removing the two screws holding it and replaced it with the new motor. Reversed to process to install the new motor. Had to take off the plastic piece inside the microwave that holds the glass plate that turns and then replace it after I got the new motor installed.

First I unpluged the power cord. Then I removed five screws on the bottom panel which will swing down to reveal the turntable motor. I removed the electrical plug from the motor and the two screws that hold the motor in place. Put the new motor in place and align the flat side of the motor shaft with the hole in the bottom of the turntable. Fasten the two screws that hold the motor back in place and reconnect the power plug to the motor. Swing the bottom panel back in place and secure with the five screws. Plug the power cord back in and reset the clock and you are ready to use the microwave.

This was a very simple do-it-yourself repair and information on the partselect website was very helpful. The order and shipping process was simple and fast. Anyone who knows which end of a screwdriver to use should be able to do this repair.

The Halogen Light Bulbs for lighting the area below the microwave seemed to be burned out. I order new bulbs but by the time they arrived the old bulbs appeared to be working again. Not sure why this happened but I have new bulbs if they become burned out for good at some point.

Disconnect the power cord. Removed the screws locate under the spacesaver microwave. The bottom will swing down and hang off the hooks on the back edge. Disconnect the wires plugged into the broken motor. Remove the two screws that hold the broken motor in place. Replace with new motor and re-insert screws and motor wires. Reassemble bottom panel and plug power cord back in.

Took out the screw holding the old motor, unpluged it and reversed the procedure to install new part. My wife is now very happy!

Removed screws from bottom of microwave. Had to invite my neighbor over to remove one of the screws... he used his impact drill.

Found out that the motor was working fine. It was the brown piece that the glass cooking tray sits on that was broken.

I had removed the glass tray and tried to pull out the brown piece...but, it wouldn't come out and so I assumed that it was intact and thought that the motor wasn't working.

It's great that it's so easy to return parts to PartSelect.

The repair was extremely easy. Remove seven screws in the bottom trim, slip the electrical connector off and remove the two screws holding the motor. Slide the new motor into position, replace the connector and screws.

I thought this would be a major project but tured out to be very simple - 7 screws, 10 minutes and done.

Reviewed the current postings surrounding the problem i was experiencing on your website. Located the 5 phillips head screws on the bottom panel. Removed them letting panel hinge down, removed the motor connector and checked for 21V AC with Volt Meter confirming the motor was not operable. Ordered replacement motor which arrived 3 days later during the holidays. Repeated the panel removal then removed the moter retaining screw and replaced with the received part a perfect matching. All in both panel removals for diagnostics and replacement of the motor took about 20 minutes.

Removed the screws holding the bottom cover on, removed screws holding motor in place, replaced motor, put everything back in. Simple as changing batteries.

The nice thing is that PartSelect, as always, delivered exactly what I needed and very fast. Ordered on a Wednesday and received it on Thursday (the very next day!)

The delivery was lightening fast...which I didn't expect. Great service.

First I shut the circuit breaker off for the microwave.
I then removed the six screws on the full undermount. The motor was visible; it was simple to unscrew the 2 screws on the motor; pulled it away from the wire/plug and disconnected it.

It was just as simple to plug the new motor in, then screw the unit it place with the 2 screws.
That was it...just replaced the undermount and turned the cicuit breaker back on.

And to think GE said to buy a new one!

First I removed the 6 screws that hold the bottom of the microwave . I was able to see and get to the cooking tray drive motor. I removed the 2 screws and took out the motor. I replaced the motor and replaced all the screws. Started the microwave and it worked , no problem.
