CMV1100AAQ Maytag Microwave - Instructions

I replaced the large capacitor (.95 uf). Much of the shell (casing) has to be removed and the capacitor is hard to get to. It is housed in a very inconvenient place. Because of the unfamiliarity of how to access the capacitor it took about an hour to get to it. After receiving the new capacitor it only took about half an hour to install it, re-assemble the microwave, and re-install under the cabinet. Of course a new fuse was required.

Took cover off 4screws motor has 2 screws pulled off 2 wires.Put new motor on.

Thought it was a bad motor. Figured out it was a stripped shaft in the turntable drive thimble. The flat side in the unit was stripped out round. This part is no longer made or available.

1. Pull the motor and the drive part. (procedure described elsewhere on this site - basically remove 4 screws along the front of the bottom panel and have someone hold the panel tipped down, or support the panel on something enough to remove the 2 screws holding the motor on. Remove the 2 wires on the motor and remove the motor. Pull the table drive piece out inside the microvave.)
2. Mark on the outside of the drive piece where the flat side used to be.
3. Stretch a layer of teflon pipe thread tape on the motor shaft (leave extra lying on top the motor)
4. Mix a small portion of J.B Quick epoxy using a toothpick to stir it.
5. Hold the drive part horizontally so the stripped out flat place is on the bottom.
6. Using a toothpick, put a small amount of the mixed epoxy inside the hole, use enough to make the epoxy fill where the flat used to be.
7. Check the unused portion of the epoxy waiting till it just begins to harden. (2 or 3 minutes)
8. Aligning the "epoxy flat point" with the flat on the motor shaft, put the drive part on the motor. (allow the epoxy to create the new flat place.) Set the motor down flat on a counter or table with the drive part on top. Do not turn the drive part, just let it sit on the motor for an hour or two minimum. Check the unused portion of epoxy to see how it is setting up. After the epoxy is hard, carefully pull the drive off the motor. The teflon tape will stick to the epoxy in the drive but not to the motor shaft. Let the whole assembly cure overnight.
9.Carefully clean off excess teflon tape that is hanging loose on the drive part. Teflon tape inside the drive part can be left. Just cut/remove any loose leftover tape outside of the now repaired shaft hole.
10. Reassemble the drive piece, motor and microwave.
11. Do not [ever] try turning the drive table by hand. This is a big reason why the drive gets stripped out in the first place.

1. Removed bottom panel
2. Replaced Turntable Drive Motor
3. Checked that it was centered in the hole
4. Replaced part that the glass tray sits on
5. Replaced bottom panel

The repairman called me during the scheduled window of time and talked me out of coming over to fix it. So he never came over.

Motor replacement was ok and could have been accomplished is less than a half hour.

Replaced turntable drive motor. Unfortunately, the problem was the turntable shaft (It was worn). The turntable shaft is no longer available. So, the problem is not yet fixed.

My wife was pushing a few buttons with her knuckle (hands were full)and the microwave just turned off. Just like we had blown a breaker. First I unpluged it. Then I removed the phillips screws of the front panel, and found and removed the ceramic fuse. 3 days later I received the new fuse in the mail, and put it in. I plugged the microwave back in and it works great.

After unplugging the microwave and removing the screw, I removed the old bulb and put in the new one!! I made sure it was in securely and the difference in the light was awesome! I use this light when I bake bread and let it rise inside the microwave, but DO NOT turn it on. The heat from this light helps the bread to rise properly!!

First I removed the top vent, this exposed the control panel holding screw - I removed this screw lifted to unhooked and I swing the panel to the left - disconnect the harness attached to this panel and be able to removed it out of the way, then I removed a fan assembly located on the back of the cavity -- this exposed the capacitor - carefully disconnect the capacitor ( I was a little concern about this because is a high voltage cap) I used isolating pliers, just in case energy was stored, that's it. Put everything back and microwave start working again. I think I still need to find out why the fan is not automatically start running after I start the microwave and the internal light only goes on sometimes when I open the door - can anybody help on this?

Taking off the bottom tray that covers the location of the drive motor was very easy only 4 screws in front of unit. This oven had 2 lights so had to disconact both lights as well as the drive motor. I did not move out the stove this would have made the job easier. Once I removed the bad motor you had to be a contortionest to try and hold the new motor in place and try to line up the screws. I would highly recommend that you use a magnetic screwdriver. If I had one the job would have been completed in half the time. It works great.

Very easy. Your instructions were excellent.

It literally took me longer to unpackage the fuse than to install it. I removed the outer shell by unscrewing the five screws, lifted it off and set it aside. The old fuse was readily visible so I pulled it out and put the new one in its place. I set the shell back on and replaced the screws. I plugged it in and ran it for 30 seconds while still in the shop just to make sure that solved the problem and presto - it worked like a charm. A $20 part saved me from having to purchase a new microwave (sadly, I had to break the news to the wife).

The repair was very easy. Step 1 - Un-plug the microwave. Step 2 - Remove the 4 screws from the bottom cover and allow it to rotate down. Front will rotate down and the back will stay in place via two tabs. Step 3 - remove the two wires connected to the motor.(pliers may help) Step 4 - Remove the two screws holding the motor in place. Step 5 - Attached the new motor with the same screws from the old motor. Step 6 - Re-attach the two wires onto the connectors. Step 7 - Screw the bottom cover back in place. Step 8 - Plug the microwave back in and turn on to test. Total time for me was less then 15 minutes.
