JVM1861S General Electric Microwave - Instructions

First I unplugged microwave oven, then removed the six screws at the bottom of the microwave and lowered the base to expose the small motor. I removed the motor and replaced it with the new one. From inside the oven I pushed the drive shaft back into the new motor, then replaced the bottom with the six screws. I plugged the oven in and tested it. It worked! In less than 15 min. I saved over $220, and I'm a 65 year old Grandma! Thank you, thank you!

unplugged the appliance, removed the glass tray from inside, turned the microwave on its side and removed the 3x3 panel, removed the drive motor by taking out two screws and disconnecting the two electrical wires, compared the new item with the old one, placed new in olds position and screwed in place. replaced the 3x3 cover, turned microwave upright, plugged in the power cord, placed a cup of water on the tray, turned the microwave on for 30 sec. and watched the table turn. Very simple and convenient application.

I removed the screws (7) around perimeter of bottom. Don't remove the middle screw as it holds some gizmo in place. Dropped down hinged bottom. Removed motor (2 screws and a plug) matched to picture on website and ordered.

2 days later, part arrived, installed, good to go.

First I unplugged the microwave from the wall receptacle. Next I removed eight screws that let the bottom plate of the microwave hood pivot down with its hinges. Next I removed two screws holding the turn motor in place. I then unplugged the motor and replaced it with the new motor and reversed the above procedures until everything was back in place. I then turned the microwave on and was thrilled to find it working properly again.

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

Removed five screws from the underside of the mircowave. Disconnected the two prong plug in. Removed the one screw that held the motor and replaced with new motor. Reconnected the plug and replaced the five screws
Tested the result with a bag of microwave popcorn. Worked perfectly.

First I removed the two screws that held the filter cover in place, lifted out the old and replaced it with the new filter. Put the filter cover back on and replaced the two screws that hold it in place, and it was done in less than 5 minutes.

it was easy . i unsrewed 2 srews and it went right in place

We removed the vents from under the bottom and then the 4 screws and pulled the motor out. It was a no brainer to fix and the part came in alot faster than expected.
Thank You

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!
