EMO3000CBB04 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

I'm in the 1% it wasn't the motor. There's a small amount of voltage going to the motor

Remove light cover. Replace bulbs Note. Light bulbs are 40W,Too much heat for bulbs & sockets

Diconnected power to microwave.Removed screws from under microwave. 6 plus center screw. removed 2 screws at drive motor and power source to drive. replaced same in reverse. piece of cake.

Took screw holding lens cover out, dropped cover down, unscrewed old bulb, screwed new bulb in socket. Screwed cover back in place. This is the third bulb in this socket, the other bulb is original.

Others said just push new coupler into hole where broken one was. This does not work. You have to take the underside of the micro to access the motor that drives the coupler. There is a screw holding the motor in. Take out screw and twist the motor to release it from holding slot. Then put coupler in hole and reattach motor. You may have to twist the motor to seat the coupler. Twist motor to replace in slot and then attach screw to hold motor in. Reattach under side. Fairly simple. Do not force the coupler into the hole without taking motor off first.

Simply inserted new part on drive and taped in dow with a driver and small hammer. Thanks for your prompt responce in shipping the part. Barry R Moyer

Easy as can be. Removed one screw on the glass cover, removed two burned out bulbs and reinstalled two new bulbs, reinstalled the cover and all is well now. The best part - my 'supervisor' is happy that she can see to cook again!

Because the microwave is old and the bulbs, I believe, had never been changed I carefully tried to unscrew the bulb. However, when I went to unscrew the bulbs the end of the bulb broke off and remained in the socket. I used a few different tools then remembered that sometimes a raw potatoe can be used to unscrew the remainder of the bulb, but to no avail. Finally had to unscrew the whole underside of the microwave to remove the broken bulb. May I suggest that you have the socket face away from the wall to screw in the bulb instead of the socket pointing toward the wall. You need to know yoga just to manuver the bulb into the socket.

Pull door open, outer frame snaps out. Be very gentle with it snapping it back. The door handle has 2 screws you take out. Top and bottom, be very patient with this because the screws are a little tough to put in. The drive motor was the easiest of the 3. Bottom plate from microwave take out 5 screws and panel opens. You will see the motor, just unplug and plug new one.

Turn off main power bracker. Removed fan vent, removed control panel, disconnect leads to the three monitor switches. Replaced the secondary switch (top). Reversed procedures.

We were remodeling our kitchen and installing new custom Kraftmade cabinets. The microwave had to be removed to install the new cabinet above the stove, during the process of taking the microwave down we forgot to take the inside pieces out of the unit, the door popped open and the tray fell on the floor and broke. I ordered a new one, by the time the cabinets were in the tray was here and we reinstalled the microwave.

The first thing I did was to go to the internet for what to do and where to get the part. I researched at least 100 reports on how others did what I needed to do. Everyone that did the repair never addressed the turntable that was on the inside of the cooking ares. Finally I got my answer to how do I deal with the turnstile attached to the motor. It was simple. First step is to remove the microwave's plug from the ac socket then remove the screws holding the bottom plate covering the motor. Next detach the two wires from the motor, next remove the two screws that hold the motor to the microwave. Then pull down on the motor and the turnstile will come free on its own. Install the new motor and reverse the steps to reassemble the unit. By the way I have only one eye and am over 70.

Removed 5 screws from the bottom of the over the range microwave to expose the light sockets. Removed the 1 screw holding the socket, disconnected the wires. Attached the wires to the new socket, Put in the bulb, reattached it with the screw. Repeated on the other light... It took about 20 minutes and now the lights work just like they should :)

The inside door trim is easily removed by inserting the handle of a small spoon at the space at the door hinge and then sliding it alone to top to remove the plastic clips. The outside door panel is more intense. You will be able to see the plastic clips that hold the plastic panel to the door and will be able to force the clips away from the metal door frame. However there are locating pins that stick through the metal door. These may have swollen because of heat, use long nose pliers to squeeze and push through the metal door, may take 2 people, 1 to release the clips the other to push the locating pins through the metal frame. With the front pane off there are 4 screws that hold the handle to the front panel.

Removed 5 screws from panel on bottom of microwave, lowered panel. Removed wires from old motor, removed 1 screwed one screw from motor, turned motor to the left slightly to remove motor from slot and removed old motor. Alligned new motor with "D" shaft on the turntable, turned motor to the right to get in the slot, re-installed the screw on other side of motor, re-installed the wiring harness, then closed the bottom panel and re-inserted the 5 screws and was done in less than 8 minutes. Real easy repair!
