Turn table would not work
We tried to follow the instruction on your website but our unit was slightly different. We had to take the stainless Steele outside shell off to remove the bottom to get to the motor. After removing the bottom, there was no wire mesh to cut through so this made it easier and less of a mess. The real challenge after installing the motor and getting the bottom cover back on was lining the stainless steel cover back to fit within all the grooves around the top and sides. It took 2 of us to get the tight fit correct. After that it was good to go! Thanks for the help and general guidance. I think ours was different because of the age and possibly the stainless steel model. We will definitely use your company again. The damage was absolutely human error. I placed a large heavy glass container in the microwave with handles that restricted the rotation. This jammed up the motor and the plastic cog on the motor broke off in the rotating ring. You do need to purchase both the motor and ring to completely repair this problem. Thank you, Lin
I have the built-in microwave in the cabinet. The hard part was getting it out of the cabinet. Once out, removing the cover and replacing the bulb and fuse was very easy. You need the tamper proof star bits to take out the screws holding the cover to the microwave. I got the bit set from Amazon for about $8. My fuse was OK. But I replaced it anyway, since it was 4-year-old. I am no expert in appliance repair, but found it fairly easy to do the repair. After unplugging the microwave, wait for 20 to 30 minutes before opening it, so that the capacitor inside completely discharges. It is supposed to discharge in 30 seconds, but why take a chance of electrocution..?
Remove tray and rotating ring assembly. Turn the microwave onto the back. Locate the center plate and cut it loose with the side cutters. (Note: there are retaining slots on the opposite side) these slots hold the cover plate in place when reattaching. Use a magnetic phillips head screw driver so you don't drop the cover retaining screw. After cutting loose the cover, unplug the wires from the motor. (Note placement for correct reattachment). Remove 2 screws and remove old motor. Replace motor. Replace the screws and reattach the wires. Replace the cover (rotate so the prongs fit into the slots) tighten screw; you're done!!! I ordered the rotating ring, but I don't need it. Now I have an extra.
Turn plate started making clicking noises and eventually stopped turning
It was extremely easy. I put the microwave on my table upside down and could see the motor thru the holes in the bottom cover. It appeared as though the outside skin had to be removed to access the motor but after looking at it there is an access panel I did have to cut it loose. Not bolted on. There was a message stamped into the bottom case next to the panel that said to debur after panel is removed. So I cut it loose on 3 sides was able get to the one screw swap the motor and reinstall it in about 5 minutes. It works like new What an easy and quick repair. Thanks
Microwave would turn on ,BUT turn table would not turn and oven would not heat.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to let you know that the order for the microwave parts was great. They were the exact parts not a cheap knock off but the exact part. In less than 24 hours after starting to look you up on line to the time I finished the replacement was just a little less than 24 hours. I checked two suppliers close to our house and the parts weren’t in stock and would take 3-5 days for them to get them in. Not only did you do it quicker and no trips to order and pick up the parts but you were less by a little. Thanks again. I don’t normally contact someone like this but this was exceptional.I would replace the rotating ring guide every time a motor is replaced. Mine had a minor flat spot on one of the white wheels that was draging and wore the motor out. The new parts work great.
Removed cover, diagnosed problem, ordered part from Parts Select, received part in 2 days, replaced part, tested and replaced oven into built in space.
When trying to run, intermittently, the light would come on but the tray wouldn't rotate or cook. When the door was open, the tray would intermittently rotate.
I pulled out the unit and found 2 interlock switches that are depressed when the door closes. After cycling the door open/closed I found that one of the switches occasionally would stay depressed. The repair was easy (after I took off the panels so I could get to the switch) I simply removed 2 screws that attached the interlock switch assemblies to the main unit. Then I popped out the defective switch and popped in the new one. This did indeed fix my problem.
