AMV5206BAS Amana Microwave - Instructions
Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
The microwave would not turn on or would run with the door open
Other tools that are usefull long needle nose pliers, long thin blade screw driver and small magnetic flashlight. Place the microwave on a work bench and remove the case it cover 3 sides. Place the microwave on a chair so it can stand with the controls up. You are replacing the lower door microswitch. The switch is located behind the control panel in the lower part of the area. The switch is several inches inside this area and your hands will not fit. Take care when moving wires and a couple of sensors. Use the thin blade screwdriver to release a tab holding the switch in place. Do not break this tab. Take the needle nose pliers and remove the switch. Put the wires on the new switch, open the door a short distance so a door lever moves enough to put the microswitch back into the bracket.

I picked up a used microwave that came with the needed mounting plate but no screws
Based on my research, this over the range miscrowave should have come with 2 templates: 1 for the wall and 1 for the underside of the wall cabinet. The challenge was to measure every very aspect of that microwave in order to obtain placement specs for the mounting screws. Tip: I made the holes through the top cabinet bottom a little larger than needed and used big washers with then for stability to gain the most "play" in the self aligning screws. Worked out well. Took 2 tries to get the wall plate perfect so have precision in mounting that piece.

Turntable stopped turning
I tried before to replace the coupler but ordered the wrong part from a different company. Your website allowed me to narrow down the search and choose the correct coupler from about 8 different choices.It took me literally 2 minutes to fix my turn table. I am a single mom with a disabled child, so the option of paying a repairman to fix my microwave was not an option. Thanks!

Turntable would not turn. The coupler was broken
All I did was removed the glass revolving tray and insert the coupler. Couldn't have been any simpler and the turntable was working again. Part was received the same week it was ordered. Very quick and didn't use any gas to go out somewhere and look for the part. Very pleased!

Replaced with new motor from Parts Select. Part was a correct replacement for the old one. perfect fit. Works like it did when it was new. I will recommend Parts Select to anyone. Thank you very much. I would definitely use your company again in the future. I saved $30 by not using parts from GE.

Bought microwave and it had no hanging screws with it.
Ordered part and screwed in. Part could not be found in hardware store even though it was just a long set of screws. Agent quickly identified part with model number of microwave and it was at my home the next morning for installation. Great service!

Turntable Not Turning
After contacting parts select they assisted me in ordering the correct replacement part. The folks I talked to on the phone WERE EXCELLENT in working with me to fix the issue. I has ordered a coupler that dammaged after a week of use and they replaced immediately telling me I had a year warranty! Great Company and Thank you it is working perfectly.
