66463 Microwave - Instructions

I removed the broken tray and ring-turn and replaced it with the new
Service was fantastic, parts were ordered one day and received the next

Washed the glass tray and put in the microwave oven. Easy..

easy to replace, just the same as cleaning the turntable and placing back in the micorwave;

Rep knew exactly what I needed when I described where the part should go on my microwave - price great - shipping great - installed in seconds. Thank you!

Replaced the supports and rack.

Turned the microwave on its side. (Recommend turning it on its top. i had to fish the wire connection back to the center after it dropped away from the motor.) There is a spot under the rotation motor where an access port was stamped in the tin but not cut out. Used the small side cutter to complete the cut where tin had been left between holes. I unplugged the wires, removed the old motor by removing one screw, and installed the new one by reusing the same screw. The motor must have a reduction gear inside the case. The motor coil tested good, about 128 ohms, but it acted like there was a stripped gear inside. I wasn't interested enough to try to open the motor and confirm.

Had to go to the garage and get a small sheet metal screw to close the new trap door.

The "new" motor had scratches on it, made me wonder if it was really new, but it works fine and will probably outlast me.

I ordered another one and placed it inside the microwave. It works and fits perfectly. I received the order exactly as scheduled.

Place support ring in track
Place turntable on support ring.
Easy, peasy!

I ordered the handle and one screw (I thought they were 2 per pack). I removed the handle and replace it using the new screw and one of the old screws. It was VERY easy.

It's easy , just pull the old one up and put the new one push it down

Looked up the Whirlpool Co. and ordered the part. It was quite simple. Arrived in 2 days and I simply placed it in the microware. It was very very easy!

First, we had to clean up all the interior surfaces, which was just cleaning. There was no internal damage. Then, just setting the center connector, rotary rollers and glass plate. Simple

It took me 15 minutes total - 5 minutes to clean the microwave, 1 minute to install three new parts, and 9 minutes to enjoy my celebratory glass of wine!

I verified I had 120 volts going into transformer when the microwave was supposed to be running. The capacitor and HV diode both tested good. Be sure to discharge the capacitor before working in this area. This isolated trouble to either the transformer or magnetron. The windings of the transformer measured good. So ordered a magnetron. It was very easy to swap. There were 4 screws and one connector. This fixed our microwave.

removed perimeter screws from the bottom side and the lower cover is hinged at the wall side. Motor is visible and easily removed with two screws. Take of the old one, install the new one, and reverse the procedure to put the bottom cover back in place. Will nee helper to hold one side of the bottom until couple of screws can be put in on the other side.
