JVM1650SH05 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

I could not repair this by myself..Thank goodness I have a "go to guy" who came and "fixed" the problem..I was told that this was not the part needed for this turntable..did not need this "extra piece sticking out of the side" with this extra thick "lip" sticking out of the side of the coupler, the coupler did not fit..Thank goodness for my "go to guy"...

Screw driver to remove two screws all the tools needed. Part was expensive (microwave new was $250 and vent grill was $89). Recieved part within 48 hours after ordering with ground shipment. (Quick)

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.

Contacted GE, told me the part that you supplied for $4.00 would cost me $36.00 plus shipping from GE. I just removed the old turntable coupler by prying up with a screw driver and slipped the new one on. GE also told me the motor that drives the coupler was probably broken and would need to buy a new microwave. The microwave works like a charm. Thanks for your quick delivery.

very ease

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.

just like the narrative for the part

Getting the old bulb out of the socket was not an easy job as the factory seals the base of the bulb to the socket and for what reason I do not know. The seal has to be broken away to remove the bulb. I broke the seal with a knife and then proceeded to unscrew the bulb. The bulb at that point shattered in my hand and I was left with just the base of the bulb stuck in the socket. it took much effort to be able to work loose the base with a needle nose pliers and much sweat. The installation however went very smooth and Part Select did a fine job of sending me the right part in a very short period of time. They are a great source for any appliance part needed.

Removed screws on bottom of microwave to access turn table motor. Removed motor in order to get information needed to order replacement motor. Received new motor quickly and installed it. Works great.

self

After discovering Parts Select website and reading the experiences and installation instructions of others with similar experiences, it gave me the confidence to give it a try. I order the parts, and in a few days, they arrived. I did the following, as read from others: 1. unscrewed the 5 screws on bottom panel of microwave. 2. Had wife hold panel while I unscrewed the 1 screw holding the lamp socket 3. Pulled lamp socket out of hole 4. Used needle nose pliers to pull wiring from old lamp socket 5. plugged the two wires into new lamp socket 6. removed old bulbs (which would have been a nightmare to do by just dropping down the bulb cover - bulb had been factored glued to lamp socket and even after I removed the glue, the bulb still broke when trying to remove the bulb - had to use needle nose pliers to unscrew the base of the broken bulb) 7. placed lamp socket with new bulb back into its slot and screwed the one screw holding the lamp socket back 8. screwed back in the 5 screws that held the bottom panel.

dropped the panel below the microwave removed the old one and replaced it with new one.
