HVM1750DM2CC General Electric Microwave - Instructions

lowered bottom panel, unpluged turntable motor, unscrewed one screw. replaced old motor with new alinged turntable button. repluged motor wire and finished.

Last week I removed the glass cover that was held in by one screw and removed the burnt out light bulb. I ordered the bulb and left the glass cover off until the bulb arrived. I had to wait until this evening to put the glass cover back on and fasten the screw because I have a window right next to the oven and the sun streaming in made it too difficult for me to see how to put the glass back in and replace the screw.

Removed the control panel, one screw at the top. Removed 2 screws on the door switch holder and removed the door switch. VERY EASY.

This repair was easy and could be done by anyone. If you undertake to do this replacement, remember to slowly bend the medal tabs back that hold the lens. Handled roughly these tabs could break off.

This repair can be don in under 5 minutes, easily !!

thank you for the video--very clear, responsible, applicable although the illustration was not exactly of our kind of light. the bulb was exactly like the one Hotpoint used in its microwave made in 1989! I will come back to you for parts in the future. (You have the model # from my original order.)

Tyring to get bulb out i ruined the light socket. Unscrewed the bottom cover of microware. Took out screw holding light socket, removed wires to socket with pliers, intsalled new socket. It was a piece of cake and the part was a perfect match.

Replaced glass in frame and replaced lights

Replaced the sockets, lens and bulbs. The first time the new bulb was touching the lens and the heat broke the lens and burnt out the bulb. The second time I adjusted the socket so that the bulb does not touch the lens.

Impressed by how quickly the parts arrived after the order was submitted. Two days.

Thank you.

Screwed in new bulb.

Removed one screw, installed new lense in lense frame, rescrewed. Done.

When you put a rectangular pan on the turntable in the microwave, the tumbler coupler stops and the steel shaft on the motor keeps going and brakes the plastic shaft on the coupler. The fix, 5 screws on the bottom of the microwave drop the cover. One screw on the motor, drops the motor, just to see the problem. Disconnect power to the motor temporarily. You really don't need to take the motor out if you know how the coupler fits on the motor shaft. Put the motor back and drop in a new coupler from inside the micro, and it is done. Put the cover back on and you are set to go. Then don't put a non-rotating pan on a rotating turntable. A $5 part and $7 shipping is a lot better than a new microwave.

Pulled off old coupler.It was tight so used a trim bar to remove. Checked motor shaft since there was 2 types available.One, square shaft,other D shaft. Ordered in AM and received the next day in PM by Fedex.. Can`t get much better than that! Pushed on and done......Like new again...

pluged wires back on ,placed lamp holder and bulb back and replaced screws

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

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.
