EMO3000HWW04 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

removed access panal, found soft switch as discribed on your web site. removed and replaced.

Unplug the microwave power cord. Remove the turntable and drive coupler. Remove 5 screws and the bottom hinges down. Unplug the motor power line, remove one screw holding the motor. Reverse the procedure for installation of the motor. Reset the time and date on the microwave display. The replacement motor from PartSelect showed up within 3 days of placing the order. Thanks for the fast service PS.

Removed the bottom plate screws from the microwave. Disconnect the wire harness. Replacement of the light sockets is easy. The female terminal connectors that connected to the bulb sockets were corroded, so I had to go to the hardware store and get replacements for those also. Replacement of those was unexpected but straightforward.

1) I unplugged the microwave. 2)I removed 5 screws which allowed the bottom of the microwave to open. 3)I unplugged the drive motor. 4) I removed 2 screws holding the bad motor and removed the motor. 5) I installed the new motor with the same 2 screws and completed the replacement by doing steps 3,2,1. I reset the clock after testing. Easy-Peasy. My mother was thrilled. She was using it that way for about a year because she thought a repair person would charge too much.

Opened the bottom panel of the microwave, removed one screw from the motor, rotated motor aprox 1/8th turn and pulled it down, Pulled off wires and then reversed the operation. Was easy and works great. I was really surprised how fast the new part was sent.

It was great...Thank you for having the part available...

unplug microvave,remove 5 screws from bottom of microvave. Motor is in the center. unplug remover remove last screw. replace motor plug motor back in and reverse steps. so easy!

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.
