LMV1813ST (01) LG Microwave - Instructions

We had made this determination with the help of a repairman on the phone. I ordered the part and waited for it. It was stuck in West Virginia. After several days after it was expected a repairman fixed my range to the tune of $168. It should have cost $30 (the cost of the part and shipping).
Unfortunately I probably won't order from PartSelect again.

I UNPLUGGED the microwave and removed the cover, using a phillips and a Torx screwdriver for the machine screws. I set these screws aside, so as not to confuse them with the later encountered screws. I photographed the magnetron to assure proper placement of the 6 phillips machine screws involved in reassembly (marking the the locations on the old magnetron would do as well. I marked the old magnetron "old", to avoid later confusion. I removed the two screws holding the shields to the magnetron. I removed 3 of the 4 screws holding the magnetron to the microwave, leaving one of the top screws. I held the magnetron securely and removed the last screw, pulling out a the part of the magnetron that penetrated the microwave. I installed the new magnetron in reverse order. One problem I encountered was locating one of the six screws, which had been pulled into the old magnetron by magnetism.

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 .

Pop old one out and replaced it with new one.

very simple

really easy

Problem was a faulty door latch switch. I easily accessed the switch by removing the control panel, total of 4 screws. After that, just disconnected the three switch door latch assembly and connected the new one. Took about half an hour and was very easy. Unit works perfectly now.

To install the door, you need to pull the top grill(molding), remove the inner molding frame from the door. Hold the dor and pull it up to unlock and slide out. To instal new door, simply remove the inside plastic molding and place the for in. Replace the milding to lock it. Instal the upper grill ( molding). The control pannel might give an error at first. Dimply adjust the foor by closing and open several times.

Grill would not go into place without removing the control panel. Had to remove one screw at top of panel and then install grill and control panel at the same time. Once all are in place you are unable to replace the screw holding the control panel. The grill seems to hold he panel in place securely. Should have been easier but the grill tabs just would not go into place with control panel attached.

Used screw gun with long bit to disassemble door and then to reassemble.

I unscrewed the light cover, removed the burned out light bulb and replaced it with one I ordered on Partselect.com. It was very easy.
