Microwave Turntable Motor WPW10159107

Removed microwave from cabinet after removing trim. Placed microwave upside down and removed bottom duct work.(two screws)
Base of microwave had a removable panel that gave access to motor. Removed and replaced motor. (one screw and plug in connector)
Replaced duct work, reinstalled duct work and placed microwave back into cabinet. Replaced trim.(four trim screws)
Note: Whirlpool would NOT sell the turn table support because of "liability".

Had a Trim Kit to remove, just 2 screws on the front to pull it out. Had to remove the tamperproof screws on the back (the outer shell is held on by them). I had to goto a local hardware store as nothing anywhere mentioned I needed this special tool (NOTE!!!!!!!) The bottom had normal phillips head screws. Note: I did not take the entire shell off, just bent it enough so the base plate could be pulled out. This exposed the motor, which strangely enough is NOT held in by any screws, just notches it slides in. Took the old motor out, came out VERY easily (only 1 plug to pull out). The new motors flange tab was bent a little bit so I had to use pliers to bend it back flat so it would fit in the notch on the bottom of the microwave (very easy). Overall A bit difficult due to special tool needed 9at least for me)

Took the cover off, had a lot of screws but easy. Removed the old motor and inserted the new motor. Replace the metal cover and it was ready to go. Can't believe I have waited so long to do this. I was going to replace the microwave but could not find the correct size to fit the cabinet.
