Henry H Swanton , OH September 10, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave JE1860WH02 Ge microwave: sparking melted hole in stirrer fan cover and it would not run without sparking I replaced the stirrer fan cover and fan, which had some carbon and slight burn marks on it. It was difficult to remove the fan cover as it did not rotate. I had to pry it off with a flat blade screwdriver, breaking the plastic tabs on the cover (which was being discarded anyway). I then cleaned any visible carbon deposits and replaced the cover and fan, using the old stirrer fan holder as it appeared OK. However, I was unable to rotate the cover into the locked position so I could not insert the rivet that holds it in the locked position. However, as I did not see a rivet when I removed the fan cover, I suspect that it came without one. I tested the cover by slightly trying to pry it off and it appeared to be securely attached. However, I would feel better if I could rotate it into the locked position. (The YouTube videos make it look easy to rotate, but I could not rotate mine even with pliers.) Note that the fan comes marked with a TOP side, though both sides otherwise looked the same to me. A 15-minute installation, although I spent hours on the web looking at “how-to videos” and making sure I was ordering the correct parts. It has worked fine for a week now. The price was good and the parts came faster than I expected. Read More... 6 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

Juliet W West Palm Beach , FL November 17, 2020 The stirrer fan blade cover melted and sparked while I was cooking bacon. I am a 73 year old widow . My husband taught me a lot about using tools before he died. I have fixed my dryer also. I went to YouTube and watched the repair. Ordered the parts and fixed my microwave stirred fan blade cover in 5 minutes flat. When the cover melted I thought I would have to buy a new microwave, but then I researched it first... I saved. About $250.. or more by fixing it myself. Read More... 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
