All Installation Instructions for LG Microwave MV2040ASD

the turn table no turn and no heat the food. but the bottom oven worked

well I unplugged the microwave one day prior to working on it. shock precaution smart way to do this job. very easy pullout the screws behind the unit pull off the outer casing. minor screws inside the unit you have to remove a couple things out of the way. unplug the magnetron and remove first gives you more room to work on the side panel to replace the micro switches. I only replaced one the bottom micro switch. only one bad, but since I was in there I clean the bulb and changed the magnetron any ways. I read other reviews and made my choice to do so. it works perfectly now. Thanks PartSelect for having parts.

Items were not getting heated up in the microwave,

I went to LG website enter model number and was given a list of parts that need to be replaced with a percentage of which part fails the most. I order micro switch PS3522738 which arrived and PS3529293 was backordered. I installed the one that arrived. The microwave worked briefly. I reordered and waited for both switches to arrive and installed both. The microwave still doesn't work.

Oven would not start when closing door.

Removed some cosmetic panels. Removed the assembly with micro switches. Examined the faulty switch by checking the clicking action of switch. Two others were ok by this method. Replaced the switch with new one. Works fine so far. Thanks to web site and YouTube videos.

Both covers were destroyed when the oven was on without any food inside.

Both new parts were installed simply by snapping them into the holes used by the old covers. What I did need was the single round headed push pin used to hold each cover in place after they were snapped into their respective mounting holes but, none were supplied with the new covers. Luckily, I was able to secure the old pins from the damaged parts that I had held onto and used them to secure the new covers. New pins should have been supplied with the new covers.

microwave turn table not working

Removed the phillips screws from the base.

Using a # 10 secure driver, remove the motor. (I recommend obtaining a secure star driver set to be sure you have the right size)

Replace the spacer, which is a separate part from the motor.

Reinstall the spacer and motor.

Reinstall the bottom panel.

Enjoy!
