JVM1860SF001 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

First had to figure out where the sound was comming from. Took off the bottom cover and saw the Glass Cooking Tray Drive Motor. I had to take the motor off and turn the microwave on to verify that was where the sound was comming from. Apparently the microwave itself was amplyfing a slight grinding that was comming from the motor. I ordered the part; Only took 48 hours to receive the part! Swapped the motor out in 10 minutes and saved $300 for a new microwave.

Replaced the fuse. Result; did not fix the problem.

All one has to do is use a screw driver to remove the screws, one per lens.
Then lower the lens bracket, bend the 4 tabs holding the
lens, remove and replace the lens and screw the brackets back in place.

Less than 10 minuits.

Only needed a phillips screwdriver to remove screws from the bottom of the microwave. Unplugged the motor, removed the two screws holding it in place, put the new motor in place replaced the screws, and replaced the bottom. It took about 10 min.

Removed the broken rack holder and replaced it with a new one. I ordered extra ones for the next one that breaks.

Removed the bottom of microwave , removed the tray motor and replaced with new motor. total time 10 min.
Simple

Removed old bulbs replaced with new. Bulb fit perfect thank you

Unplugged electrical power, exposed the lower cover, Unplugged wiring to old Motor, removed 2 screws holding old Motor in place. - Reversed procedures with new part.-

took glass cover off being an electrician and saw lamp or bulb was burned out. googled your site and with model number.went on partselect found lamp,orderd it.2 days later lamp arived installed lamp. So easy no running around or making several calls

could not have been any easier to replce motor . unplug unit,remove 7 screws, drop down bottom plate, unplug motor, remove 2 screws and replace motor. reverse steps to finish installation.

Repair went smoother than expected, but a couple of comments should be made. The screws are easy to see and to remove from the bottom plate of the Microwave. The inside of the plate, where the light and filter are can be really greasy and icky. The motor was easy to replace. Putting the screws back in can be relatively tough - especially the ones in the back. I lost one. Might be good to be better prepared to make sure that they don't drop behind the counter.

Removed screws from underside of micrwave to get at drive motor, removed screws for drive motor and reversed the process to complete the repair.

Unplug unit from AC source. Removed turntable and gear from inside of microwave. removed bottom plate (5 screws) and removed 2 screws that held motor. Unplug wires from motor and replace new motor in reverse.

Used a phillips screwdriver to remove the screw holding the light cover in place. Removed the two bulbs and replaced them. Closed the cover and tightened the screw

Removed five screws from the bottom of the microwave, panel hinged down and exposed the motor. Removed one screw, replaced motor, and put the panel back in place. It took a little longer because I took the oportunity to clean it out!Also I now know how to get to the lights.
