SCA1001KSS Microwave - Instructions

When trying to replace the light bulb for the underneath night light, I damaged the female receptor plug by not inserting it gently and straight on, and thus couldn't insert the bulb. So, I had to replace the receptor which is part of a the reflector assembly with the small attached plug cord. Once I was able to unscrew the glass cover and move the existing reflector panel aside to see how it fit together, it went well and is now working fine. One hint in replacing bulbs is to order the correct one, since there is another bulb for the interior light for the microwave which uses a different bulb. Be sure to order the correct one. Also, push them in gently but firmly right on center.

Read other folks on your site on how they did it and I followed their directions. About 30 minutes and it was done. Figured I saved lots of money. Thanks

Checked all sensors with a multi-meter, found the thermostat to be the problem, no continuity.

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!

The Halogen Light Bulbs for lighting the area below the microwave seemed to be burned out. I order new bulbs but by the time they arrived the old bulbs appeared to be working again. Not sure why this happened but I have new bulbs if they become burned out for good at some point.

Problem was due to a faulty door switch. Replaced with a new switch and the microwave now works fine! Only thing that was tricky was that LG uses the hex screws with a peg in the middle to keep the microwave cover on. Had to use a small screwdriver and pliers (on the screwdriver) to unscrew the screws.

the problem was the mounting bracket that was installed when the house was built ,was not the bracket that came with the microwave. It was used to step the microwave out 3" in front of the other cabinets for the style that they were using then. so when I was installing the new cabinets I didn't want that style, so I ordered the original mounting bracket. It was a perfect fit and the install went great

Ridiculously easy, unscrew, and change bulbs. Having the correct bulbs made all the difference, I did not have to waste time looking for the correct one.

removed key pad then removed latch assembly and replaced it with new latch assembly.

unplug the unit then pull down , lot of screws are on top. open the cover . you could see the parts that need to replace on the right hand side (heavy side). disconnect wires then test the parts that need to replace by a tester to make sure that it's really broke .then unscrew part and replace .

Removed screw holding faceplate that covered bulbs. Next inserted new bulbs into sockets.
Turned on surface light to insure they worked - they did. Re-attached faceplate.

Replace the fuses

Removed old bulbs replaced with new. Bulb fit perfect thank you

Initial failure of over range microwave Aug 3rd. Control Panel worked but no heat. Took to local LG authoriaed local repair place. They fixed it quickly and we re-installed it. Worked fine for 2 months then had similar failure again. Agaim took to same authorized repairer. They kept unit for 3 months but finally concluded theu could not fix it and suggested we contact LG for a partial refund. When they tested the unit during re-assembly in my presence, there was a blue flash and the fuse blew. Since we had built a custom tile mural back splash around this unit, I brought it home, ordered a number of time delay fuses new capacitor and two new high voltage diodes. However, using my Fluke DMM, I checked the existing capacitor and high voltage diode and they checked OK so I just replaced the time delay fuse. The high voltage transformer leads had 2 possible ways to connect to capacitor and diode. Tried one way, plugged unit in and turned it on, and immediatly blew the fuse. Replaced the fuse and reversed the high voltage transformer connections,amd turned unit pn, and it worked perfectly. Since we had experienced several power failures during the time of the original failure, the repairer concluded that power spikes might be at fault, so I also purchased a TrippLite ISOBAR4ULTRA 3300 Joule surge protector between wall outlet and microwave, and re-installed over range. It has worked perfectly since.

Removed the glass shield and inserted the 2 bulbs. Then replaced the glass shield.

The staff were terrific. Thanks so much as it had a happy ending.
