JES1460DS1BB General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Just like the directions said. Very simple.

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.

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

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

bought a fuse but that didn't solve the problem. Guess I need a new microwave

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.

Removed cover, diagnosed problem, ordered part from Parts Select, received part in 2 days, replaced part, tested and replaced oven into built in space.

Upon inspecting the internals found burned thermostat and one lead. Got the parts, replaced and now working fine.

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.
