JVM1440SHC02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Fixing the grill was a snap! I was done in less than 10 minutes.

thank you for the video--very clear, responsible, applicable although the illustration was not exactly of our kind of light. the bulb was exactly like the one Hotpoint used in its microwave made in 1989! I will come back to you for parts in the future. (You have the model # from my original order.)

Last week I removed the glass cover that was held in by one screw and removed the burnt out light bulb. I ordered the bulb and left the glass cover off until the bulb arrived. I had to wait until this evening to put the glass cover back on and fasten the screw because I have a window right next to the oven and the sun streaming in made it too difficult for me to see how to put the glass back in and replace the screw.

Removed upper screw easily. It was exposed upon opening the door. The lower screw was behind the plastic bezel that surrounds glass. Used thin knife to pry this part. Lower screw is then removed.The handle is then mounted with original screws.

removed cover over motor blew it out of leaves and dust. Removes 4 screws and removed piece ordered. The coil was rusted and not connecting. Changed oiece its working again

Part just snapped into place and wires were reattached.

Unscrewed the control panel (2 screws), lift up and let hang, with a plan screwdriver open bracket holding the switch, unplug 2 wires, replace with new switch, plug in the 2 wires, push switch back into bracket. Then slide on the control panel, put the 2 screws back. Easy fix.

Disconnect power to microwave. Remove plastic rotor attached to motor shaft. I had to pry up from underneath it with a screwdriver to break it loose. Cover surface below microwave as bottom cover screws are small and easily lost. Remove three front and two rear screws from bottom cover and it will swing down. Locate the drive motor on the cover, disconnect the power leads, remove one set screw and rotate the old motor off the cover. Reverse instructions to re-install new motor. Swing bottom cover back up and re-install the five small screws. I had a little trouble lining up the screw holes and it helped to use a finishing nail to align the holes in the cover with those in the microwave frame. Reinstall plastic rotor on motor shaft, reconnect power to microwave and test the turntable.

Kept the microwave in place( it is above the stove) 1 unplug the microwave 2unscrew the cover plate on the bottom3unplug connections,light and drive motor.4 unscrew drive motor replace with new drive motor,reverse the remaining process. Part took about 3-4 days to deliver,plan accordingly.

Using a phillips screwdriver, remove 7 screws from the unerpanel of the Spacesaver Microwave. The panel will swing down from the rear edge hinge, exposing the lights and the stirrer motor. Remove the electrical connector and two screws holding the motor in place and remove the motor. The stirrer inside the oven can then be removed if desired. Install the new motor in reverse order. Note rotate the stirrer inside the oven to align the motor shaft to facilitate assembly.

I removed the five screws that held the bottom plate in place. After removing the bottom plate, I unscrewed the one screw holding the drive motor, unplugged the motor, and then installed the new motor. Replaced the botton plate and then tested the new motor. Everything worked like new.

The part was less expensive than buying it from GE. I ordered the motor on a Monday morning and received it Wednesday afternoon. I was completely satisified with the price, part, and shipping time.

Thanks,

Removed six screws that allowed the "bottom" to swing down; then removed the two screws holding the motor - disconnected the two wires. Installed the motor and reversed this procedure to finish the project.

Removed 5 screws to allow lower pan to hang down. Unplug motor, remove 2 more screws that hold motor in and pull it out. and reverse process for reinstallation of new motor. Took all of 4 minutes allowing time to drink a beer while taking the new motor out of the box

First I removed the 6 screws that hold the bottom panel in place. I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires and then connected the two wires to the new element. Secured the element in place and replaced bottom panel.

Real simple process!
Thanks!

Most mirco wave have a plate on the bottom to protect turn table motor. This one had no screws - it has 6 tabs holding the protective cover. Used pliers to tear tabs. Used philip's driver to remove screw and turned motor to come out. Went back in reverse order replacing motor. Left protective plate off
