LRM1250B LG - Instructions

I tested the motor with an OHM meter, saw it was shot. Broke the turntable off when I tried to take it out from inside where it's attatched to the drive motor.( The plastic was like glued or welded onto the shaft of the original motor ) Had to open up the removable trap door on the bottom to pull the one screw that holds the motor in. Swapped it out, pushed the new turntable back in, and turned it on. Works like new! great parts, fast shipping, great deal !

Overall repair quite simple. Removed screws from the sides and rear of the microwave, then removed cover. Next, removed only the screws to separate the bottom cover. Removed the one screw in the AC Synchronous motor to remove the motor (had to use small screwdriver through a vent slot in the bottom to remove the screw). Unplugged and removed motor. Installation is the reverse of removal. Note: on the back of my appliance were 4 torx screws with a tamperproof pin in the center. I used the rotary tool to grind out the pins so I could use a regular torx bit instead of ordering specialty bits.

Lifted up the glass plate, lifted out the plastic base that rotates and placed the new one inside. The piece that connects is shaped like a semi-circle, so I rotated it until is dropped into place. Then I put back the glass plate and it was finished.

Put on safety glasses AND leather work gloves. Grab pliers. FIRMLY grasp the110 A/C power cord with jaws of pliers, squeeze and pull plug from 3prong power socket. Carefully press black bar on front panel to open oven door. Stand back so door doesn't strike your face . Lift out damaged glass tray with BOTH gloved hands..place in re-cycle bin. Open parts package carefully and install the NEW glass tray. Plug 3prong plug BACK into 110v outlet and press start button........Stand back! View the new glass tray turning in a circular fashion through the heat/radiation proof front door. Job well done!

Eight screws off the bottom exposed the cover plate. Easily found the motor location the looked up the item number and verified data and ordered the part. Replaced the motor, tightened the screws and flipped it upright. Plugged it in and the lights came on. Set a time pushed start and smiled! The eagle had landed!!!!

The old button fell out because the "tabs" on the end of the posts that come out from the button had broken off. These "Tabs/posts" hold it in place - you'll see how when you look at it. All that was necessary was to put the springs from the old one onto the new one. Make sure to put the thing in right-side up; there are two "tabs/posts" on the top side, and one on the bottom. Gently slide it into position as nearly straight as you can, squeezing the "posts" until they clear the front of the opening. Continue to slide in EVENLY until you feel the part "click" into place. That's it! I recommend cleaning out the area fully before installation, with a a god household cleaner, and also putting a thin coat of some sort of lubricant on the part before you put it in. (You won't be able to do that after it's installed.)

I removed the outer cover of the microwave and removed the bottom palte to access the small motor. i unplugged the old motor from teh wiring connector, removed (1) screw and motor came out. I reversed the proceedure with the new motor and it was finished.It was a piece of cake.

brought new one and the help with the sites pictures to describe what I need was extremely helpful. The prompt delivery was great.

Unplug.Take off the external cowling from the back of the unit by removing the torx security screws. Tip: instead use a thin screwdriver blade to unscrew the torx screws, or knock out the center pins of these screws. Remove the bottom panel. The replacement motor is attached with one phillips screw, re-attach wires to motor - polarity doesn't matter. Re-assemble and you're finished.

Replaced Microwave Button with new button and hooks. Repaire took one min. by just pushing the new button on the Microwave and it hooked on and did not pop out. Good for another 4 years maybe!

unplug the unit then pull down , lot of screws are on top. open the cover . you could see the parts that need to replace on the right hand side (heavy side). disconnect wires then test the parts that need to replace by a tester to make sure that it's really broke .then unscrew part and replace .

saved me having to buy a new microwave. It was super fast delivery, had the part the next day! Amazing service and great customer support.

Problem was due to a faulty door switch. Replaced with a new switch and the microwave now works fine! Only thing that was tricky was that LG uses the hex screws with a peg in the middle to keep the microwave cover on. Had to use a small screwdriver and pliers (on the screwdriver) to unscrew the screws.

Pried cover off bottom-center of microwave. It seems to be either glued or lightly tack welded. Removed 2 small Phillips screws to remove motor. Disconnected electric feed by hand. Don't let go of electric wire or small screws. They will be hard to retrieve from behind the rest of the metal base. Reverse process to install new motor. Didn't try to put small cover back on.

I looked up the part number, with shipping it came to $16, and in one minute of installation time, I just gently pushed the button into the front using the original springs that pushed the button back out, and it just clicked into place, the microwave back in action.
