JVM1350WW02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

This is sometimes described in other repair notes as "microwave 'runs' when door is open."
With power disconnected: Remove the microwave's metal grill surround. Three lower screws accessible with lower oven door open. Two screws accessible at top of microwave door opening with door open.
Remove microwave control panel: Remove two femaleTorx head screws (#27?) that secure the panel, accessible at right side of door opening. The right side of the control panel is secured by plastic tabs fitting into slots in the oven frame. Take good care to note how these tabs disengage from the slots (lift and shift). Tab breakage very possible! Once disengaged, the panel hinges outward and downward and is self-supported. It may be necessary to guide some of the wiring out of the way to fully lower.
There are three door switches, one "monitor" and two "secondary" switches. All switches are housed in a plastic frame, which must be lifted out of position for access, each switch is retained by flexible plastic, breakable-looking hooked fingers. Also note that the electrical connectors have tiny release tabs that must be depressed in order to pull them off of the switches. In my case the topmost switch, one of the "secondary" switches, was clearly bad since there was no "snap" or click when pressing the switch's button. Maybe you can determine which switch is bad before proceeding but I had ordered all three to avoid going through this exercise again any time soon.
Replace switch or switches, place switch carrier back into position and otherwise reverse the disassembly steps.

The old one was extremely difficult to remove, like it was ‘welded‘ in place. I had to crush and destroy it with vice grips in order to get it. it off. The new one would not go on unless I modified it by removing a “spur“ which prevented it from sitting flush with the bottom of the oven. All in all it took less than 25 minutes and it is now working well.

Unscrewed bottom panel, then unscrewed light socket, then replaced with new socket and bulb. Reattached socket and panel.

Just open door and install the new cooking tray in the grooves.

ordered 2 new sockets and bulbs easy replacement great service from this site

Have a microwave that the light and sockets just broke in pieces so I ordered two sockets from this site . The fit perfectly and it was a breeze to install. Took out 7 screws and the plate dropped down, hooked up the little wire which was so simple and bingo I had lite again. I just wished the hold plate came down but it didn't but it was still very easy to install. Will continue to get my appliance parts from this company.

Pulled it from the wall remove the front vent covers removed the control panel remove the door switches by a special screw driver bit which looks a star remove the electrical terminals pressed the plastic clip pulled the switch replaced it with new one then followed initial steps backward

Simply removed screw, pulled down light holder, unfoled the metal tabs, took out the broken pieces and replaced the glass lens and light bulb.

I unscrewed the top inside screw, pried the inner plate off with a butter knife revealing the bottom screw. Replaced handle, screws and plate. It was so easy for me because I read about it on your website. Otherwise, I had no clue!

removed glass turn plate, removed broken coupler, went on-line and order the part on the GE website. It was really easy to determine the part number because of the diagram on the internet site, once I had the part number, simply placed the order. I was surprised how quickly the part arrived.

removed the bottom plate from microwave and replaced parts

unscrewed the screw, pried up metal tabs that hold in light lens. took out broken pieces, slid in new light lens re-secured tabs with fingers, screwed in the screw again.

THere are two screws holding the door handle. One is easliy accessed, the other is hidden.

There is a plastice seal that needs to be removed from inside the door. Its about 1/3 of an inch wide and is on the inside of the door surrounding the glass. It is NOT on the jam but on the inside surface of the door itself. You need thin tool to begin to pry out the seal. Once the first section is loose the rest comes out easily.
The hidden screw is easily accessible once the seal is out.
Simply pop back in when done.

Removed the top screw that was visible and then removed the ring around inside door frame by using a simple butter knife to get it going carefully. Removed the hidden screw on bottom of door . Replaced Handle, screwed in top and bottom , attached plastic seal around door by snapping it back in place. Done
