JVM1870SFC01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Repair was simple. Remove screws on bottom panel of microwave, let cover hang on hinges. Remove two screws from drive motor, remove old motor, insert new motor, replace two screws, then reattach bottom panel. Done!

Quiet has returned to my microwave:-)

I also discovered that the (night light) bulbs are much easier to replace when the bottom panel is lowered.

Told by appliance repair service that parts were very expensive and service call started at $80 minimum. Finding replacement motor on your site was very easy. Instructions on repair were very complete and included pictures of the motor itself which had same capacity as replacement motor. Before ordering part from PartSelect I followed the online instruction for repair/replacement of the Microwave table motor and it was exactly as described. Removed filters and 10 screws with a single Phillips head screw driver. Motor looked the same as picture and ordered it. Part arrived in 24 hours and it took 4 minutes to replace the motor from start to finish. Total costs including shipping was approx 40 dollars. Great service and great site. This is my second repair using PartSelect.

Simple as could be: unplug the microwave, remove 5 phillips screws to access the motor, remove the 2 phillips screws holding the motor in place, un-clip the motor from it's power supply, and reverse the process; you're done! It took all of 3 minutes to complete.

As others have desribed - remove 5 screws from the bottom cover. Lower cover and replace turntable motor with 2 screws.

7 screws, lowered the bottom and replaced the motor with two more screws. It was fairly easy and I'm pretty proud of myself.

The installers grouted in my above the top microwave so the bottom didn't hinge down as easily as it should have. But it worked.

I removed the 7 screws on the cover for it to drop down. Then disconnected the 2 plugs from the motor and removed 2 screws that was holding the motor in place. Connected the new motor to the plugs, screwed back in place, and then screwed the cover up. Total time: approximately 15 minutes. I suggest you put a towel on top of the stove for protection. Easy to do. Thank you.

Part arrived sooner than expected---great service!!!!Simply drop down the light/grill panel under the unit--it's hinged in the rear. Unplug and unscrew the motor --replace in reverse order. Done PS -Local GE sales and repair could not get this motor. Said GE no longer provided , too old---6 years

The ground shipping took less than three days. When I got home from work the part was at home. While I was having dinner I told my 17 year son to get a phillip screw driver. He unplugged the power from the wall. He removed five screw from the bottom of microwave. He then removed one screw from the drive motor, disconnected motor plug, reconnected the plug to the new motor, placed back one screw on the motor and screwed back the five screws. Tested the microwave and the tray was turning successfully. It took my son less than five minutes. Real easy and highly recommended.

Ridiculously easy, unscrew, and change bulbs. Having the correct bulbs made all the difference, I did not have to waste time looking for the correct one.

Used a phillips head screw driver and loosened the lens frame under the microwave. Removed the broken lens and replaced it with the lens ordered. Put the lens frame back in place and secured it with the phillips head screw.

Removed screws,took down insides of micro dropped down on hinge, there was the little motor and it was one screw to remove, put new motor in and that was it. Simple as it said on web site.
I know we saved a fortune by doing this simple repair. Everyone here has GE so I am spreading the word on this.
Service was super, received part next day! Thank you!
