The stirrer fan cover in your microwave can be found on the roof of the microwave. It protects the fan from damage and debris. This fan cover is made of white plastic and is approximately 7.5 inches in diameter. Occasionally, the stirrer fan cover can melt, and become damaged. If you smell burning from your microwave or notice damage, the fan cover should be replaced. The stirrer fan cover is sold individually, and is an OEM part directly from the manufacturer.

Easy repair. Fits perfectly
Thought I was going to have to buy a new microwave, but with a little internet surfing and YouTube videos I managed to come across this retailer and wound up spending a 10th to repair what it would've cost to replace the whole unit.

The fan cover in the top of the microwave had a melted spot.
I used a flat screwdriver blade to push out the rivet. Then used the screwdriver to loosen the fan cover and gave it a little twist. It came out with no problem. There was some grease build up on the aluminum fan, so I cleaned it. I placed the clean fan into the new fan cover and put it back in place in the microwave. There are several no

Simple fix. Prayed old off with flathead screwdriver. Installed new in less than 2 minutes.

Plastic cover had quarter size hole burned
Use a butter knife to pop small plastic pin out and turn to remove. Used the metal pinwheel from old one and placed it back up in the microwave. Never heard of this being possible, but it seems to happen per the website and many other comments.

Stirrer fan cover was melted
This repai me couldn’t have been simpler! I noticed that the stirrer fan cover on our microwave had melted areas. My husband suggested we just buy a new microwave. As the handywoman of the family, I searched online to see if it was a fix that I could handle. I ordered a part for less than $20 and fixed it in about 30 seconds! All I had

My stirrer fan cover had a quarter-sized burn/bubble in it. I ordered a new one. When I took out the old fan and cover, I noticed a quarter-sized black mark/burn on the inside-top of the microwave, above where the silver fan is placed. Is this microwave still save to use with a new stirrer fan cover? There is no hole in the microwave, just a black mark.
For model number je1860wh002
Hi Eric, usually these black marks are just cosmetic, as long as there is not actual physical damage it should be fine. If you are very concerned you can try contacting a technician to come take a look directly and inspect the microwave. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

We burned something in microwave while cooking. Can't get rid of smell. Can still smell burned smell coming out of it. How can i remedy this.
For model number Jvm1540lm4cs
Hello David, Thank you for the question. You can try to fill a bowl with 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon white vinegar. Microwave it for 4-5 minutes and leave it with the door shut for 10-15 minutes. Steam will loosen smell-causing detritus stuck to the walls. After the waiting period, remove the bowl and wipe the inside of the microwave down with a paper towel.Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
