LMV1630ST LG - Instructions

Needed to raise the part to match the ring. I used peanut butter to hold plastic shim while replacing to hold it in place. Built in Oct. 2009.

I looked up my problem on the internet and found a very helpful video. Microwave on video was different brand but the internals and methods were very much the same. The video made it simple and easy to fix. Found the replacement switch on the LG parts site and ordered. Two different switch types. One with red switch, the other green. Part was $7.28. Saved a bundle in service costs. Here is the repair video.

removed power cord replace turntable motor by lowering bottom panel removing two screws holding the motor on and two wires and reinstalled

Wanted to see the instructions before I install it.

i unplugged the unit,unscrewed the outer shell so that all the wiring and internal components were visible.starting at the first of three micro switches i removed the slip on terminals installed the alligator clips too the wires so the switch would now be bypassed.i made sure the wires and clips were not touching anything plugged unit in and it worked.i then installed the new switch and closed up the outer shell

Take cover off microwave. Check door switches to determine which one was faulty.Remove and replace faulty switch.

Easy, and the microwave still doesn't work.

very simple

Pop old one out and replaced it with new one.

Problem was due to a faulty door switch. Replaced with a new switch and the microwave now works fine! Only thing that was tricky was that LG uses the hex screws with a peg in the middle to keep the microwave cover on. Had to use a small screwdriver and pliers (on the screwdriver) to unscrew the screws.

remove the screws from the bottom, leave tthe light wires attached. There are two screws holding the motor on, disconnect and mark the old unit where the yellow wire goes. Mount motor with two screws and connect wires. Turn on Miicrowave for 10 sec, to be sure all is correct. Attacch bottom cover and reattach power cord. Before doing anything make sure power cord is disconnected and reattached when sealed.

1. Removed unit from the cabinet. (2 screws). 2. Remove the outer microwave metal shell. (10 screws). 3. Locate and remove part. (3 screws). 4. Install new part and replace all screws. 5. Install unit back into cabinet. So easy. I will share this site with all of my friends.
