HVM1750DM2CC General Electric Microwave - Instructions

First I removed the bottom of the microwave, exposing the motor for the turntable. i then took the motor loose and removed the broken plastic coupler. I then put the new one in and re-attached the motor and bottom of microwave.

When I received the part, I popped it in and POW, problem solved. I praise PartSelect, they offered my part at a fantastic price compared to other vendors and shipping time was very good! will use them again when I have the need.

First and foremost the service was superb. Ordered on a Monday and had it on Wednesday - WOW. I opened the package and put it in the microwave.
I thank you very much for your fast, efficient and professional service.

I received the tray and place it in the microwave for a perfect fit. My wife is so happy.

Used a phillips head screw driver and loosened the lens frame under the microwave. Removed the broken lens and replaced it with the lens ordered. Put the lens frame back in place and secured it with the phillips head screw.

had someone else do it...he advised very easy to accomplish.

Just put the new tray in and it fit perfect

My husband wanted to use super glue to put it back together. I totally disagreed - googled the problem - order the replacement tray. It works great!!!

Cannot believe how fast I received the tray. It was shipped from Lenexa warehouse, which is just 100 miles south of us so I received it in like nextday. Popped it in Microwave and was good as new. Will definitely order from parts select again. Thank you.

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.

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

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.

My son=law did repair because I am elderly and it was necesary to remove the bottom plate of the microwave which I was unable to do. The microwave was installed in 1987 and I believe this was the first time to replace the bulbs. When my son removed them the bulb was diintergrated. That's how old they were. Once he was able to remove the underneath plate the repair was easy except for removing the old bulbs. I think that I could have done it myself but he was available and I am sure it was done much better. All in all the parts)bulbs) were correct and everything is workiin fine. This is a good place to order replacement parts. In fact I am going to order a new charcoal filter. He took the label off the old one and I am ordering the replacement. After all 1987 may have been a good year, but time for a new one. Mary

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.

With many thanks to those who posted their experience and advice replacing the bulb, I was able to remove 5 of the 6 screws holding the underside panel and remove the socket which contained the broken off base of the bulb and extract it with needle-nose pliers. I had broken off the glass portion of the bulb trying to unscrew it due to the awkward contortion of my wrist-hand-fingers trying to grip the bulb inside the tight recess the bulb is mounted in. After concluding that I needed more information, I did a web search for 'Hotpoint RVM1435' and found helpful advice at partselect.com telling me to drop the bottom panel. Good call! Thanks everyone!
