JE1590WH02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

This is the tray the glass cooking tray rest on and rotates the glass during cooking. The metal tray was installed upside down. The rotating glass tray was not properly installed. The oven was at a very high temp. and the weight of the utensil on the glass was not supported correctly. Result, big " pop " and broken glass tray. Note this is the second glass repaced. The first one dropped while removing it from the oven. It stuck to the bottom of the cooking dish and then fell to the floor. Pop, big breakage. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes.

It was so easy to order the part on this website. It came carefully packaged and quickly! Thank you!

Removed microwave cover using screwdriver and anti tamper bit available at local hardware store. Megnetron had broken magnet making discovery of deffective part easy. Removed wire connector and three screws attaching magnetron to case, removed magnetron and installed new item in reverse order. Installed cover and made popcorn for operational check of microwave. Happy days..........

PartSelect had helpful repair instructions on-line which made the repair easier and faster. Unfortunately, there were other problems with the oven that immediately blew the new fuse I had just installed. It was then determined that additional repair would most likely cost almost as much as a new microwave.

This is a GE Profile Microwave/Convection Oven that has the Built-In Kit. The microwave is really a countertop oven that can be placed in a cabinet for a built-in look. The removal of the shroud was easy but it takes two people to remove the oven from a high cabinet location. Once you get the spacer pieces off with a regular Phillips, you will need a Security Torx set to remove the screws around the rear of the cabinet. Once the cover is removed the bulb is easy to locate mounted upside down behind the control panel. One screw holds the bulb in place, so remove it, replace the bulb and reverse the assembly procedure. It takes about 30 minutes but will save you between $75 and $150 for a service call. YOU WILL NEED A SECURITY TORX SET that can be purchased at your favorite tool shed.

Simply replaced wheel! Works great!

Removed tray from shipping container and installed in the microwave.

First unplugged the microwave, took top grill off, took control panel off, took wires off and used color coded tape to make sure they went back in right places, took fuse out and replaced it and put every thing back and it all worked fine and to top it off my wife did it all. So it was pretty easy.

I first read where someone had the same problem. Their solution was a burned-out fuse. I ordered a new fuse...installed it and that did not solve my problem. I revisted PartSelect and read how Marla (from Arlington, TX)solved her problem. I purchased a secondary switch and when it arrived, I made a copy of Marla's instructions and followed them to the letter. I installed the new secondary switch into the secondary space, put everything back together and the oven STILL DID NOT WORK. I had to take the latching panel apart again and test each switch to see if there was another bad one. I found that the third switch was burned out. So I took the new switch out of the second slot and installed it into the third slot. I tested the switches before reinstalling the latching panel. This time everything worked. So I put everything back together, reinstalled the microwave on the wall, tested it again, and everything worked perfectly.

placed plate on carousel

Replace the fuses

Remove turntable glass plate, removed by hand the defected turntable rotating guide assemble and installed new one, replaced the glass rotating plate.

I went on line, put in microwave repair and watched a video on repair. I then took the oven down from over the range and took it apart. I could see were the magnetron had burned out. There was a hole with obvious burn marks. I went on line looking for the needed part. I clicked on PartSelect and order the magnetron. I received the part within three days, regular shipping. As I had not put the oven back together it took only a few moments to save 150 to 200+ dollars. I put it back together and happy, happy me, it worked.

Just like the directions said. Very simple.

Unpacked glass plate from cardboard box and placed atop rotating spindle inside oven - done.
