RVM1325WW004 Hotpoint Microwave - Instructions

My son=law did repair because I am elderly and it was necesary to remove the bottom plate of the microwave which I was unable to do. The microwave was installed in 1987 and I believe this was the first time to replace the bulbs. When my son removed them the bulb was diintergrated. That's how old they were. Once he was able to remove the underneath plate the repair was easy except for removing the old bulbs. I think that I could have done it myself but he was available and I am sure it was done much better. All in all the parts)bulbs) were correct and everything is workiin fine. This is a good place to order replacement parts. In fact I am going to order a new charcoal filter. He took the label off the old one and I am ordering the replacement. After all 1987 may have been a good year, but time for a new one. Mary

Unscrewed the lens, it hinged down, then I could remove the frame. Pulled old bulb out and replaced with new one. Replaced broken glass in frame. Reset hinge into the holes and swung it up into place. Screwed it in.

Very easy!

Just unscrewed the screw holding the lens, unscrewed the bulb and put the new bulb in. Simple

so easy, but how do i turn light off?

Part recieved next day. thanks so much

All one has to do is use a screw driver to remove the screws, one per lens.
Then lower the lens bracket, bend the 4 tabs holding the
lens, remove and replace the lens and screw the brackets back in place.

Less than 10 minuits.

changed the bulb

I asked a handyman at the local fitness center about repairing it and he refered me to your website where I found an exploaded drawing showing the parts I needed and how to get to them. It was great and very easy.

Replaced the fuse. Result; did not fix the problem.

removed the lens cover with one screw and replaced bulb

There is no repair story to share, I simply replaced the tray. However, I was very impressed with the speed that the tray arrived. I placed the order in the afternoon and the next day it was at my door waiting. This was the fastest delivery that I have ever experienced - at no extra charge. Also, the price of the tray was about $30 cheaper than ordering from Sears.

I ordered a glass microwave cooking tray to replace one that shattered over the Christmas holidays. Tray was sent out in a few days, but received in broken condition. After notifying PartSelect, another tray was sent out immediately. Everything went well and the folks at PartSelect were supportive and resonsive.

Installing a glass tray is no big deal, but finding it and at a price that didn't make me choke was a trick! I did that with you guys and I really appreciate it! Customer Service was amazing as well. The first shipment took quite a hit and the tray was broken. My response from you about my problem was quick.....and on a Saturday. I had another tray by Tuesday! Thanks!

Thank you. Your service was fast and very easy. The cooking tray arrived in two days. Spouse now knows that if he chips the tray again ($70.), Thank you for your prompt and accurate service.

used the part I requested and a few extra bolts...job well done!

Because the microwave is old and the bulbs, I believe, had never been changed I carefully tried to unscrew the bulb. However, when I went to unscrew the bulbs the end of the bulb broke off and remained in the socket. I used a few different tools then remembered that sometimes a raw potatoe can be used to unscrew the remainder of the bulb, but to no avail. Finally had to unscrew the whole underside of the microwave to remove the broken bulb. May I suggest that you have the socket face away from the wall to screw in the bulb instead of the socket pointing toward the wall. You need to know yoga just to manuver the bulb into the socket.
