LSE4616BD (00) LG Range - Overview

Unplugged oven electric and turned gas off. Removed all back covers from the unit. Removed the cover on the inside covering the burner and fan in the back of the convection oven. Removed the nut securing the fan to motor shaft with helper holding the motor. Removed the three electrical wires attached to motor, making note where they go. Removed screws mounting the motor to oven. Removed motor cooling fan and shaft spacer from old motor. Fit in same orientation on new motor. Replace all parts in reverse order, restore gas and electric, turn on and test.

Took off the front panel of the range and found the circuit board that operated the Oven knob selections and took it off got the part number and order it. Then just replaced it as the reverse of taking it off . The oven knob work to the desire selections on the range .

Initial failure of over range microwave Aug 3rd. Control Panel worked but no heat. Took to local LG authoriaed local repair place. They fixed it quickly and we re-installed it. Worked fine for 2 months then had similar failure again. Agaim took to same authorized repairer. They kept unit for 3 months but finally concluded theu could not fix it and suggested we contact LG for a partial refund. When they tested the unit during re-assembly in my presence, there was a blue flash and the fuse blew. Since we had built a custom tile mural back splash around this unit, I brought it home, ordered a number of time delay fuses new capacitor and two new high voltage diodes. However, using my Fluke DMM, I checked the existing capacitor and high voltage diode and they checked OK so I just replaced the time delay fuse. The high voltage transformer leads had 2 possible ways to connect to capacitor and diode. Tried one way, plugged unit in and turned it on, and immediatly blew the fuse. Replaced the fuse and reversed the high voltage transformer connections,amd turned unit pn, and it worked perfectly. Since we had experienced several power failures during the time of the original failure, the repairer concluded that power spikes might be at fault, so I also purchased a TrippLite ISOBAR4ULTRA 3300 Joule surge protector between wall outlet and microwave, and re-installed over range. It has worked perfectly since.
