RVM1435BD001 Hotpoint Microwave - Instructions

Removed underside panel, about 8 screws, then removed the motor, 2 screws. Unplugged the connection to the motor. Ordered part online within 5 minutes. Part arrived 3 days later. While I cooked dinner that night and with my kids "help", I installed the new motor and replaced the panel. It was a fun repair to make and I expect that I saved $50-$100 over having GE service come out to make the repair.

Not hard to replace for a aircraft mechice

Our remodler took only minutes to remount our microwave as it should be.

Removed the bottom cover of the microwave and replaced drive motor.

Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver and removed the screw that retains the lens frame around the broken lens. I also did the same to the opposite side (whose lens was fine but the bulb had been burned out for some time). With my fingers I pryed up the frame clips that secure the lens in place, removed the pieces of the broken lens, and replace the lens with one of the new lenses I had ordered. Although the bulb on this side was still burning, I replaced it with one of the two I ordered anyway. When I removed the bulb that was burned out, the glass separated from the bulb's base. However, I simply put on a set of tight fitting leather gloves and used my ring finger to apply pressure inside the base and it soon began to twist and then came out. This takes a little manual dexterity, but is very doable. If it were too tight, you could take a large "easy-out" tool (like the one to fit a 3/8" - 1/2" hole) and it would remove the broken base in short order. I had also ordered a second lens, but the lens on the burned side was simply dirty, so I cleaned it, put it back in place and saved the new one for a rainy day. By the way, BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE LIGHTS ARE SWITCHED TO THE "OFF" POSITION BEFORE DOING ANY OF THE ABOVE. Also take care to clean the glass on the bulbs with denatured alcohol and handle them with clean cloth gloves or a tissue so as not to allow any oils to be on the surface when they are switched on. Body oil will immediately create a hot spot which will shorten the life of the bulb by at least 50% if not more.

I removed the bottom plate of the microwave, unscrewed and unplugged the motor, screwed in and plugged up the new motor. VOILA, DONE! $40 is lot better than $350 for a new microwave. Thanks PartSelect.com.

my wife removed the bottom screws and replaced the motor.works normal now

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)

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.

sent off for new part and replaced it. I`ve done several of these in the past in my shop ,so it was no problem .worked on other equipment also over the years in my job 1 to 10 about a 2 .

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.
