SCA1000DWW03 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Replace the fuses

unplug the unit then pull down , lot of screws are on top. open the cover . you could see the parts that need to replace on the right hand side (heavy side). disconnect wires then test the parts that need to replace by a tester to make sure that it's really broke .then unscrew part and replace .

Parts select made the ordering very easy and the exact part arrived shortly after ordering. I would suggest following ALL the suggestions to a tee that others have written in. Removing the entire door (a suggestion) was definitely a good idea. I had to do some 'extra' rigging because one of the plastic screws was also broken and that is actually part of the door..........and I would have to replace the entire door ($$$).......didn't want to do that. "DO" be careful when removing the little clips....that is a little tricky but do-able......IF you take your time. THANKS for all the other people before me that wrote in their hints...I did listen to my wife and read them all before I started. Good luck.

removed screw from inside wall. removed leftover board & replaced with new board & screw. good as new!!!

I UNPLUGGED the microwave and removed the cover, using a phillips and a Torx screwdriver for the machine screws. I set these screws aside, so as not to confuse them with the later encountered screws. I photographed the magnetron to assure proper placement of the 6 phillips machine screws involved in reassembly (marking the the locations on the old magnetron would do as well. I marked the old magnetron "old", to avoid later confusion. I removed the two screws holding the shields to the magnetron. I removed 3 of the 4 screws holding the magnetron to the microwave, leaving one of the top screws. I held the magnetron securely and removed the last screw, pulling out a the part of the magnetron that penetrated the microwave. I installed the new magnetron in reverse order. One problem I encountered was locating one of the six screws, which had been pulled into the old magnetron by magnetism.

Replaced the fuse. Result; did not fix the problem.

Took item from sealed box and removed protective bubble wrap. Placed tray in microwave, aligning tray with turntable sprockets. Perfect fit, perfect match! And the part arrived in three days and was very competitively priced. What more is there to stay? Will use PartSelect for other replacement parts. No brainer!

Very easy replacement. Just lift out and replace with a new one!

bought a fuse but that didn't solve the problem. Guess I need a new microwave

Removed the door, removed the old choke cover (breaking all the stap catches), removed the slide door latch assembly from the spring (the most difficult task) then reassembly of the latch to spring, sliding into the grooves along the inside of the door, the installing the new choke cover (very easy with the new one) taking care not the break any of the staps. Easy enough! Another difficult task was to re-install the door to the frame. It appears that the lower "hinge" is slightly bent down to allow easy install but the door now makes a slight sweeking sound when opening and closing.

I held the door open while the repair man took the black facing off and replaced the latch and reinstalled the facing I was worn out

removed cover an replaced

Unpacked glass plate from cardboard box and placed atop rotating spindle inside oven - done.

This seems to be a fairly common occurrence so I've repaired this multiple times, once a year on average. The on site instructions are clear. Lift the top vent area off so you can remove the door. Open the door all of the way, lift off of the bottom peg and pull from the top. Lay door on a flat surface and with a small flat head screwdriver, gently pry the frame up (part 1804, door chock cover). There are small plastic tabs holding this part: use caution as they break easily. Once removed, on the door assembly, remove the small Philips screws: push the plastic tabs back, one side first; this part should then slide out. Both door handle screws are the exposed. Remove these (probably holding the broken handle parts, use the small screwdriver for lift to remove parts). Place the new handle on the door and replace the screws. replace the door assembly, be sure to lock all of the tabs back in place, snap door mask in place, replace door.

I first removed the top vent cover by pushing upwards slowly as not to break the plastic tabs holding it it place. Then lifted the door off of the hinges. Laying the door flat, I then inserted small screwdrivers (eyeglass repair size) into the "Mask frame" to push the "J" tabs inward. Do slowly as they get brittle with age. Remove the 8 small screws holding the door assembly to the plastic frame. You'll see the 2 screws holding the handle in place. Remove them, install new handle, reverse process. About 35 minutes.
