JE1235WW02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

After looking up on the computer a schematic of the unit, all that was needed was removing four screws to remove the top and side cover which was one piece.
Next was removal of electrical connection to burned out lamp, then removing burned out lamp and installing the new lamp and reconnecting electrical connection.
Job was complete after reinstalling the cover.

Microwave now working with new lamp lighting when in use.

Thanks to great instructions from a previous person, this was super easy. It took 5 minutes to remove and replace the new motor. The big part of this job was cleaning out the cabinet where the microwave sits, since I had to take it out.

There is a 'door cover' pressed into the bottom of the microwave, that just has 6 small tabs that you need to cut. Then remove 1 screw, and the wire clip and the motor is changed. The door just reverses and re-installs with 1 screw. When the microwave was designed, this repair was in the engineers mind. So simple I couldn't beleive it.

I detached the metal plate on the bottom of the microwave that once removed by cutting the metal tabs could then be turned around and put back in place with 1 screw. The old motor was easy to detach (1 screw) and unplug. Hardest part of the whole project was finding where to get a replacement motor so I'm glad I stumbled on your website. Once the part was received it took just a couple of minutes to replace and it works great.
My husband called about getting it serviced and was told it would be at least $100 just for labor, parts would be additional. I'm now an electronic goddess in his eyes....

A fragile glass tray providing a rotating surface for the microwave required replacement. The tray arrived scrupulously packaged to insure contents production. Unpacking was simply accomplished and installation achieved without undue effort. Thank you for prompt delivery and consideration for the attention paid to my purchase.

I happen to have a set of "security" screw driver tips which are required for this appliance - available for about $10 at Home Depot or Harbor Freight. Remove three security screws from back of housing, lift up and aft to remove the cover. The light is on the left in a "snap in" mounting so use a flat blade screw driver to push back the retainer and lift out the old bulb then disconnect the two "push on" wires and install the new light. Total time about 10 minutes. The only issue is the requirement for a security driver set.

removed 3 screws to take off outer housing ( did not have proper screw driver but was able to remove with pliers). used flat head screw driver to pry light socket w/bulb off of snap-in mounting & unplugged socket wire attachments. plugged in & reattached new part.

The repair was simple. replace the broken tray with the new one.....Done.

I unplugged the microwave and turned it over. It was easy to spot where the motor was located. I noticed the cover had little tabs holding it in place. I noticed it had brackets that could be snipped and the cover reversed so the little tabs and hole for the metal screw could be installed. I used snips and cut the little tabs and removed the cover. The motor had one screw and a tab that held it in place. I unplugged the motor first removed the screw and changed the motor. Then I plugged it into the wiring harness.The plastic piece for the turn table dropped out. I used pliers and straightened the tabs turned the plate over and put two small extensions in the slots and removed the metal screw and pushed the tabs in place and the metal screw through the hole and tightened. I then set the microwave in place and opened the door and pushed the plastic piece into its proper place. I then got a cup of water and heated it up.

I called partselect after looking at their web site to confirm that I was ordering the right part. They were very helpful. Partselect prices were lower than competitors even after shipping. The part came the very next day. I was pleasently surprised how quick and efficient they were. Thank you partselect for your assistance.

On the bottom of Microwave I cut the 6 clips holding the cover in place with side cutters. Removed the one screw holding motor in place. Un plugged it. Plugged in new motor, replaced screw. Filed off sharp points of clips. Slid cover tabs into slots, put screw in cover. Replaced parts inside oven, turned it on, it worked.
I did this twice. The first time the plug fell inside the housing and I had to turn the microwave over to fish it out. So when I received new part I left it plugged in. I should make it clear I am talking about the plug to the motor not the one to the microwave. Of course I unplugged that before I even moved the microwave. Thanks to another customer and his repair story because I was dreading the chore of dismantling the entire microwave to get to the turn table motor. He made it so easy. Thank you for having the part and great instructions.

This was an under counter microwave located above the range. There is a cover on the bottom of the unit that contains screens for the fan. This cover is removed by taking out 3 screws located near the front of the unit. Be sure to support the cover when removing the last screw. There is a plug-in wire going to the turn table motor. Unplug it so you can lay the cover on the range top. The motor is removed by taking out two screws and pulling down. It should not take much force as it slides into a plastic drive located under the turn table inside the microwave. There should be specifications on the old motor that match the new motor. Push the new motor up into the plastic drive unit, matching the "D" shaft of the motor into the plastic drive. Replace two motor screw in correct holes so that the plastic drive is centered in the hole. Plug the motor back in and replace the cover.

Put it right in
