MS4842DP LG Microwave - Instructions

I tested the motor with an OHM meter, saw it was shot. Broke the turntable off when I tried to take it out from inside where it's attatched to the drive motor.( The plastic was like glued or welded onto the shaft of the original motor ) Had to open up the removable trap door on the bottom to pull the one screw that holds the motor in. Swapped it out, pushed the new turntable back in, and turned it on. Works like new! great parts, fast shipping, great deal !

Eight screws off the bottom exposed the cover plate. Easily found the motor location the looked up the item number and verified data and ordered the part. Replaced the motor, tightened the screws and flipped it upright. Plugged it in and the lights came on. Set a time pushed start and smiled! The eagle had landed!!!!

I removed the outer cover of the microwave and removed the bottom palte to access the small motor. i unplugged the old motor from teh wiring connector, removed (1) screw and motor came out. I reversed the proceedure with the new motor and it was finished.It was a piece of cake.

Pried cover off bottom-center of microwave. It seems to be either glued or lightly tack welded. Removed 2 small Phillips screws to remove motor. Disconnected electric feed by hand. Don't let go of electric wire or small screws. They will be hard to retrieve from behind the rest of the metal base. Reverse process to install new motor. Didn't try to put small cover back on.
