RVM1435WD001 Hotpoint Microwave - Instructions

Removed the microwave with the buit in housing from the cabinet. Removed microwave from built in housing. Removed outer cabinet giving access to remove control panel and smart board where switches are located. Removed control panel to get to smartboard. Removed smart board after disconnecting a few wires to allow easy removal. Individually removed and then tested each switch using multimeter. Found seondary Door Switch (bottom of smart board) operation to be intermittent (switch trip button extremely loose and rattle inside this particular switch) Ordered replacement part which came very quickly on standard shipping order. Put new switch on smart board and remounted, reinstalled control panel and reconnected various wire connectors previously disconnected. Then plugged in oven and tested for opertation - didn't work at all! But, after bleeding off capacior charge by removing connectors and discharging capacitor to ground, then reassembling control board and smart board into oven, then trying agian, it has worked perfectly ever since. Do not understand why capacitor disconnect/discharge was required but suspect this reset the control electronics. Easy fix and hope to get another 12 years out of this appliance which is used multiple times every day. Also have two other identical micorwave ovens, one is 20 years old, but these get used relatively infrequently.

One of the easiest repairs I've ever done, I have AHS, but it was way cheaper to replace it myself, took about 3 minutes and cost less than 50 dollars, remove 5 screws to take the bottom plate off, 2 screws that hold the motor on, unplug it And slap the new one in...very simple, think the wife could have handled this one, lol!

Simple repair just aligned new coupler part to turntable stem--job completed

Simply removed five screws from the bottom of the microwave, removed two more screws holding the drive motor and unplugged the motor. We often have the initial urge to call an appliance repair shop, but this part was easily found on Parts Select.Serial numbers on the part had changed but their photo assured me they had the right motor.

I ordered a new plate and fit perfectly. No tools. no fuss no muss. Thanks Partselect.

Reviewed the instructions on this website, was super easy, 6 screws pull off cover, 2 screws for drive motor. Done. Very satisfied.

Followed the instructions supplied can't have been easier. The part was on my door step the next day. It was faster than Jimmy Johns. I will use Partselect again and will recommend when I can. Thx for the great service.

every thing is working, but no hot

just put them in

I removed the front plate to the microwave that had six screws and dropped the front plate down and removed the motor and installed a new one. Replaced the plate and re-plugged the microwave back in and tested the unit and was all fixed. It was a very easy installation and only took me about 20 minutes to does this

replaced the glass tray and the part fit perfectly in place.

Took out five screws on microwave bottom, removed the two screws in the socket and unplugged the light socket. Plug in new socket, screw in place with 2 screws. Lock in microwave bottom,and screw in 5 screws. Replace bulbs. Be sure and either unplug microwave or switch off at electric service box, before starting. Of course, hubby did all the work, but I supervised.

I tried to replace a light bulb over the cook stove without turning off the power supply. The light socket had deteriorated and the bulb base shorted out on the microwave frame. I ordered new sockets and bulbs. Replacing them was s simple matter with the power off. However, there was still no lights working with the power on. I pulled to cover off on top of the microwave (two screws) and checked the fuse. Continuity test showed it to be ok. Next I pulled the cover off the control panel and pulled out the mother board. On the back side I noticed two burnt pins. I applied solder with a solder gun to replace the burnt off solder. I put it all back together and it works fine.

Just like the directions said. Very simple.

First, there are three door operated switches in this model. The monitor sw, the secondary sw (both of these are on the bottom in the same bracket) and the door sensing sw on top. The door sensing and secondary switches are both N.O. and have the same part number (probably why you show just two switches). The monitor sw is N.C. and it was not my problem. The secondary sw was bad on my oven but I had replaced the door sensing sw (which wasn't bad) on a previous order and kept the old one so I used it to make the repair. All three switches can be accessed without removing the oven by removing the discharge louver (remove two flat head screws on top and slide the louver to the left) then carefully remove the control panel (one screw on top and lift out). The switches are held in place by a plastic tongue that fits into the rear mounting hole on the switch. I used a common screw driver with a small tip to gently lift the tongue and slide the switch out with needle nose pliers. The new switch just snaps back in. The switch holder bracket looks like it would be easily broken so be gentle. I don't know what the symptoms would be if either of the other switches were bad so I would recommend buying all three and you would have them if one of the others failed in the future. The information I gave on the switches came from a schematic I found inside the control box. Hope this is helpful.
