How to troubleshoot shutting off Microwave oven LG 8265?

One of the most used appliances at home is the microwave oven. When it stops working, or shutting off it gives you some inconvenience. In this article you will find solution for shutting the microwave oven LG 8265. 

Solution is simple - defective turntable motor. Turntable motor may be defective; you can use a multimeter to test the motor for electrical continuity – a continuous electrical path present in the component. If the motor tests negative for continuity, it will need to be replaced. Just follow our guide to replace it. 

1. Unplug the microwave oven’s power cord.
2. Lift off the glass tray or plate to access the drive coupling.
3. Pull the coupling straight up to detach it from the motor shaft. You can now inspect the coupling for damage to determine if it is stripped or broken.
4. To access the motor, unthread the screws securing the microwave’s bottom access panel. Most microwave bottom panels are hinged at the rear; once the screws are removed, the panel will rotate back. You may need to disconnect a light wire connector to fully release the panel. Be aware: if the microwave oven is built-in, you will need to fully uninstall the appliance to reach the bottom access panel (you should refer to the installation manual for instructions on how to do this).
5. Remove the wires from the motor terminals or disconnect the wire connecter. On some models, you may have to detach a terminal cover to reach the wires.
6. Unthread the mounting screw or screws securing the motor to remove it. You may need to rotate the motor to fully release it.
7. When installing a new turntable motor, you may need to transfer a seal from the old motor shaft to the new one.
8. Insert the motor shaft through the hole in the cavity floor and into the coupling, if still in place, then rotate the motor into position, if necessary. Rethread the mounting screw or screws to secure.
9. Connect the wire connector or attach the wires to the motor terminals and close the terminal cover, if applicable.
10. Rotate the bottom access panel upwards and reconnect the light wire connector if required.
11. Fully position the panel then replace all of the screws to secure.
12. Replace the drive coupling, or install a new coupling, by positioning it on the motor shaft.
13. Confirm the support ring is in place, then align the glass tray on the coupling.
14. Plug the power cord back in and your microwave oven should be ready for use.

After this microwave oven must work like a new one, without any troubles with shutting off. Feel difficulties with replacing the motor? You can contact our customer support team and arrange an appointment at the convenient time.
