HVM1540DM2BB General Electric Microwave - Instructions

I first read where someone had the same problem. Their solution was a burned-out fuse. I ordered a new fuse...installed it and that did not solve my problem. I revisted PartSelect and read how Marla (from Arlington, TX)solved her problem. I purchased a secondary switch and when it arrived, I made a copy of Marla's instructions and followed them to the letter. I installed the new secondary switch into the secondary space, put everything back together and the oven STILL DID NOT WORK. I had to take the latching panel apart again and test each switch to see if there was another bad one. I found that the third switch was burned out. So I took the new switch out of the second slot and installed it into the third slot. I tested the switches before reinstalling the latching panel. This time everything worked. So I put everything back together, reinstalled the microwave on the wall, tested it again, and everything worked perfectly.

placed plate on carousel

Replace the fuses

Removed glass table. Lifted out shaft coupling. Replaced shaft coupling with new one and glass plate.

Just like the directions said. Very simple.

Unpacked glass plate from cardboard box and placed atop rotating spindle inside oven - done.

Placed the new tray in the microwave.

Inserted a kitchen knife between the cover and the inside top of the microwave. Pry out the small plastic keeper pin located in the front of the stirrer cover and save for reinstallation. Twist the cover and gently remove. Remove the metal fan and insert it in the new cover. Reinstall the cover and twist to align the hole for the keeper pin. Reinstall the keeper pin and push the cover and pin up tight against the inside of the microwave.

Took off cover , unpluged switches , took off switch assy, off/on test hooped and howlered for about 5 mins .Then laughed about other sites said could get those switches. Just wanted to say I LOVE Partselect. Super fast del , great price. JUST AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ordered the part on Monday, it was delivered on Wednesday, only paid for standard shipping. All I had to do was put it in, right part, back to new!

bought a fuse but that didn't solve the problem. Guess I need a new microwave

It was REALLY EASY finding the right parts using your diagrams..Thanks for your HELP!!I will definitely be back.Dan H

I'm writing because I have never in my life had such an easy time finding a part, ordering it, and receiving it! Your service is truly unbelievable. I still don't believe it and I experienced it. Nothing went wrong and it could not have been easier. Please don't go away.

After reading reviews that there was no power what so ever and a fuse replacement will solve the problem, I tried it. Replacing the fuse is very easy (and I am not handy at all). All you have to do is remove the microwave cover from the top by removing two screws, slide the cover to the left and pulling the cover off. Then remove the grill in front of you, by removing one or two screws. The fuse is in front of you, use pliers and be firm but gentle. Replacing the fuse is easy but it did not solve my problem.

This is the tray the glass cooking tray rest on and rotates the glass during cooking. The metal tray was installed upside down. The rotating glass tray was not properly installed. The oven was at a very high temp. and the weight of the utensil on the glass was not supported correctly. Result, big " pop " and broken glass tray. Note this is the second glass repaced. The first one dropped while removing it from the oven. It stuck to the bottom of the cooking dish and then fell to the floor. Pop, big breakage. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes.
