JVM1860CDC01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

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!

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.

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 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.

remove cover, unplug secondary door switch (top switch)
remove switch from holder, install new switch, plug in wires, replace cover, very easy. door switches are a common problem
with microwave ovens.

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.

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

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.

Removale of trapdoor,one screw. . Remove elec plug. Removed two screws holding motor. Replaced motor,put screws back. Took 4 minutes. No kidding. Had considered buying new microwave. Friend told me to look at parts select web site. So glad I did. Saved time and money. So easy. Will come back again. Old dog learned new trick. . Thanks parts selsct. Com. .

Unplugged first. Took out screws from bottom, dropped bottom panel - hinged to the back of microwave, took out 2 screws holding motor, disconnected wiring clip, reversed order when installing new motor. Less than 15 minutes.

Removed bottom cover 6/7 phillips screws, pulled plug out of motor , removed two holding screws,replaced motor and reversed the procedure.

I contacted an appliance store in an attempt to have my microwave serviced and when I explained the problem they informed me that it was too difficult and not worth fixing.
My research revealed that the problem may just be a failed turntable motor and after reading the symptoms on Partselect website, I decided to give it a try.
The part arrived within 2 days. I removed the screws, un-installed the defective motor and replaced it with the new motor. Replace the screws and the microwave and turntable are now working perfectly. This repair took about 5 minutes.
Thanks Partselect,
Sam

Wow! Had I known it was this inexpensive and easy I would have fixed my microwave long ago! Everyone else covered the "how to" well, so I won't be redundant. It would have cost almost as much to fix as replace the microwave calling a professional. Now I get to feel great about saving money and being environmentally responsible by fixing rather than tossing an otherwise good microwave.

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!
