JVM1870WFC01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

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.

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.

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. .

I went online and very quickly was able to order a new motor from PartSelect.com . It was at my house in a few days. I quickly installed the new motor and Voila! the cooking tray now turns the way it's supposed to! Thank you, PartSelect.com!

Removed screw holding faceplate that covered bulbs. Next inserted new bulbs into sockets.
Turned on surface light to insure they worked - they did. Re-attached faceplate.

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,

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.

I removed the bottom steel cover. Unplugged the drive motor, and order the correct part. The catolog was very easy to use and understand.

4 days later, the right part arrived, and in minutes I installed it, replaced the steel cover, and it was fixed. Very easy and done for under $ 50.00 and no labor charges.

Thanks, Parts Select .com!!!

Replaced motor (easy) all is well! thanx!
