JE1860CB01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

I'm very impressed with the quailty of the product and the shipping speed. I had the new microwave plate in 2 business days. No difficulties with installation, obviously.

Since I didn't know if it was the current fuse or the flame sensor, I ordered both parts, and, I had to order the tamper proof torx bits needed to remove the microwave cover ($7.45 on Amazon). Once the cover was off the unit, both parts were easily accessible on top of the oven and were replaced in only a couple of minutes.

e.g. First I removed the bottom cover. I then removed the two screws that hold the motor in place. I then pulled the motor out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires...)
I then put the new motor in with the two screws and hooked the wires back up. I then replaced the bottom cover and put the the turn rack and glass tray back in place. Works great.

Once I unpluged the unit and laid it on its back, I remove four screw and exposed the motor. The motor was mounted with two screws and a push on electrical conecter. I reversed the procedure and it was done.

After picking up the broken glass and cleaning up the mess, I looked up GE microwave turntable plate and came across this site! Easy to order on their website, good price, and quick delivery.

I removed the main cover ( torx security bit required) and tested the magnetron, capacitor, diode and door interlock switches according to instructions found on the internet. The capacitor and diode tested good but the magnetron looked burnt and corroded on the tip. The magnetron I received was an exact replacement for the original. It was easy to replace the magnetron which arrived in 2 days standard shipping. I also cleaned the fan while I had access to the inside area. Hoping to get another 18 years use from the microwave!

It took quite a bit longer to decide which one of the roller guides in the selection was the right one, than to install the new one. Got it right though, works great

I replaced the door key, it was broken on the side so it was not touching the sensor for shutdown. Replaced the door key and the backframe keep the microwave like brand new
