HDM1853BJ01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Removed the screws holding base of microwave. Removed two screws from driver motor after disconnecting the wiring from the motor. removed turntable plate to gain access to the shaft of motor and place plastic part on stem of motor. Fastened two screws back in the new motor. Installed screws in base of microwave. Done

When we moved into our recently purchased home, I noticed that the turntable in the microwave wasn't turning. I discovered that the coupler was missing and hoped that nothing else was damaged and that getting a new one would fix the problem. I ordered the part and it came the very next day, even though I got 3-5 day shipping. Didn't even have to unscrew anything to install it. It popped right in and the turntable works perfectly now.

I watched the video on how to replace the motor and it was as simple as you said it would be. Just need the correct short handle screwdriver. It is very simple and easy. Thanks for the video.

Replaced light socket and bulb. Real easy repair.

removed the bottom of the microwave and removed the motor and replaced the coupler and reassembled. Easy repair.

Removed the bottom cover of the microwave and replaced drive motor.

Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver and removed the screw that retains the lens frame around the broken lens. I also did the same to the opposite side (whose lens was fine but the bulb had been burned out for some time). With my fingers I pryed up the frame clips that secure the lens in place, removed the pieces of the broken lens, and replace the lens with one of the new lenses I had ordered. Although the bulb on this side was still burning, I replaced it with one of the two I ordered anyway. When I removed the bulb that was burned out, the glass separated from the bulb's base. However, I simply put on a set of tight fitting leather gloves and used my ring finger to apply pressure inside the base and it soon began to twist and then came out. This takes a little manual dexterity, but is very doable. If it were too tight, you could take a large "easy-out" tool (like the one to fit a 3/8" - 1/2" hole) and it would remove the broken base in short order. I had also ordered a second lens, but the lens on the burned side was simply dirty, so I cleaned it, put it back in place and saved the new one for a rainy day. By the way, BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE LIGHTS ARE SWITCHED TO THE "OFF" POSITION BEFORE DOING ANY OF THE ABOVE. Also take care to clean the glass on the bulbs with denatured alcohol and handle them with clean cloth gloves or a tissue so as not to allow any oils to be on the surface when they are switched on. Body oil will immediately create a hot spot which will shorten the life of the bulb by at least 50% if not more.

I removed the bottom plate of the microwave, unscrewed and unplugged the motor, screwed in and plugged up the new motor. VOILA, DONE! $40 is lot better than $350 for a new microwave. Thanks PartSelect.com.

my wife removed the bottom screws and replaced the motor.works normal now

replacement door recommended $308.00 ! said no parts available ! I looked online and found one for $ 35.00 ! then i found your site and bought it for $3.00 !!! It came very fast. We looked up schematics on your site and looked on u tube for video of how to repair it. and my sons put it together in 15 minutes thank you!!!!!

As suggested, I placed a towel over the stove. Only had 3 main screws to remove from bottom of microwave. Dropped the bottom and changed the sockets and light bulbs. After replacing the bottom tray, I put the new glass light lens in. The clips on glass holder bent back like a photo frame-really easy. Turned on the lights and was done.

My son had to replace the bulbs because the screw that holds the bulb shield was so tight that I couldn't remove it. It was too difficult for me to do it myself.

Located the correct part on PartSelect. PartSelect had the correct diagram. Replacement of motor was easy to do. All I had to do was remove the bottom panel to access the drive motor. This is a wonderful service.

Disconnected the power at the circuit breaker. Removed the six phillips head screws on the underside of the microwave base. Unplugged the drive motor. Removed two phillips head screws holding motor in place. Put all the screws aside keeping the motor screws separate so they would not get confused with the cover screws, they are slightly differenet sizes. To put the new motor in I needed to rotate the triangle plate drive inside the microwave main compartment until the motor could seat in place. Seccured the motor with the screws. Put base back in place and secured with screws. Turned power back on and tested turntable by turning on microwave.
