RVM225BL01 Hotpoint Microwave - Instructions

Simple. The parts came instantly. The glass was too big so I had it cut to size. I unscrewed the fixture with a screw driver replaced the bulb and slipped the glass cover into the frame and screwed the whole assembly in.

Removed difuser (one screw), removed old bulb, screwed in new bulb, replaced difuser.

Because of it's age and my memory of it's wall installation problems, I was extremely happy to find the parts. Merely popped the old "fried " support bracket out, snapped it the two replacement brackets and I was back in business with a "new" spark free appliance. Thanks ever so much! Smooth, "no brainer" installation! Extremely pleased with results!

Took a total of 5 minutes to replace the handle including going and getting the philips head. Unscrew from inside door and replace. Piece of cake.

Removed Cover Plate,
Removed back cover
Bulb disintegrated removed base with pliers
Screwed in new lamp
Replaced cover
Done

took out several screws dropped down the panel under the microwave and unscrewed the bulb and put the new one in. It was a simple job.

I unscrewed the remaining stubs and replaced the handle. Unfortunately, despite care, I was unable to tighten the top screw sufficient to seat the handle securely against the door. I fear the new handle will fracture.

remove cover, unplug secondary door switch (top switch)
remove switch from holder, install new switch, plug in wires, replace cover, very easy. door switches are a common problem
with microwave ovens.

Super easy repair, getting the part was just as easy. I did a simple search with the model number and was able to verify that the part I was ordering was the correct one by using the many pictures and diagrams available.
Thank you for providing such a user friendly site as I hate sending stuff back. Although I hope my appliances last a long time if I ever need repair parts again you can be sure that I'll use this site.

I was very concerned that I would have to buy a new microwave because the door handle broke. It literally took 2 minutes to find on google, shipped overnight and fixed in 5 minutes for under $50! Woo hoo!!!!

changed the bulb

Took off what was left of the handle. Put in the new handle. Took less than 2 minutes. Was very surprised when I got the part way sooner than was told. I will definetly buy from you again. You have been added to my "favorites" on my pc.

Since the job required replacing both the bulbs and sockets the unit was dropped from the wall. Used a towel and plywood to protect the range under the unit. Then these steps: Unplugged the power cable and placed a support board under the unit while removing three bolts from overhead cabinet. Next, removed support board and with a helper rotated the unit down and lifted it out of the rear wall mounting panel. Then turned the unit upside down, removed the bottom plate and unplugged the feed wires and two wires to each of the sockets. Next the single screws holding the sockets were removed and the sockets extracted from the mounting shells and new units were installed. When remounting the unit it was necessary to start all three bolts from the upper cabinet just a few turns and then tighten the center bolt completely first.

Removed three screws from the top front cover and slide it out and following I removed the touch panel and the housing that holds the switches and replaced the bad one.

Removed existing screws. Clean where the handle is attached. Attached new handle with existing screws.
