JE1440WF002 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

unplugged power
removed main black cover.
located part WB24X10047 and replaced

I used a phillips screw driver and a special type bit to undo the screws from the cabinet and found the light bulb and took the old one out and put the new one in and put it back together.

Removed outer cover, Cash with for Phillips screws as I recall, Then remove six or eight safety screws with Phillips special bit. Pulled bulb, cover back, removed, and replace bulb, back together all set

First I had to accept the fact that the unit was designed to keep non-professional people from doing any repairs. The switch was installed in such a manner that I had to break the mounting to remove the switch, then drill a hole in the mounting to secure the new switch in place.

Cut the wire connection of access door on the bottom of the oven. Once access door was removed, I took the screw holding the drive motor in place, removed the wire connector and taped the connection to oven so that it did not drop into the bottom of the oven pulled motor out. Put new motor in, put connector back on motor secured the motor with the scre, put access door back in place put roller guide on the drive motor from inside of the oven and put plate on roller and turned it on for a test. it worked.

AFter I put the roller guide and glass cooking tray inside the microwave it still didn't spin. After check with the video, I was warned not to try to replace the motor which spins the tray, that there was a chance of electrical shock. I took the oven to my repair place and they made the repairs.

Replaced the fuse. Result; did not fix the problem.

Replace the fuses

First I took out the screws holding the sides and back to the microwave. I discovered that the rotissereie motor was also damaged, but had an old GE microwave that had quit working-took out motor from other GE(motor was the same), installed motor in microwave, lined up pin to roller assy. and that was it!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After reading reviews that there was no power what so ever and a fuse replacement will solve the problem, I tried it. Replacing the fuse is very easy (and I am not handy at all). All you have to do is remove the microwave cover from the top by removing two screws, slide the cover to the left and pulling the cover off. Then remove the grill in front of you, by removing one or two screws. The fuse is in front of you, use pliers and be firm but gentle. Replacing the fuse is easy but it did not solve my problem.

Just like the directions said. Very simple.

After contacting GE support I realized the only interest they had in helping me was to recommend sending a $$$ technican to diagnose the problem. I decided to go to the Sears Parts select website.to see if others were experiencing the noise me microwave was making. After reading through others posting on the subject I decided to purchase the Synchronous Motor. While waiting for the part to come I decided to lubricate the hub of the spides that rotates the plate with white Lithium grease. After a couple of times utilizing the microwave noise went away so whn the part arrived at me home I put it in a drawer just incase I need it a some future date. Hope that someone else finds this information useful. "The Crafty Dodger in Houston"

PartSelect had helpful repair instructions on-line which made the repair easier and faster. Unfortunately, there were other problems with the oven that immediately blew the new fuse I had just installed. It was then determined that additional repair would most likely cost almost as much as a new microwave.

Removed microwave cover using screwdriver and anti tamper bit available at local hardware store. Megnetron had broken magnet making discovery of deffective part easy. Removed wire connector and three screws attaching magnetron to case, removed magnetron and installed new item in reverse order. Installed cover and made popcorn for operational check of microwave. Happy days..........
