We placed candles on the stove and melted the door to our microwave oven.
After finding the parts I needed on partselect.com I used a screwdriver to pry DOOR C from the microwave door. Using a screwdriver I removed the door's handle and then using my hands I was able to remove DOOR A. I slid out the glass to the door. It was so easy I then ordered the parts from partselect.com. I screwed the handle onto DOOR A, cleaned the glass and slid it into place and popped it onto the metal door. I then pressed DOOR C into place and was finished in less than 10 minutes.

Bezel around door broke
Used screw driver to pry plastic ring on inside of door, around the perimeter, loose. It pulled out very easily. Used screw driver to remove attachments to handle, 2 screws. removed the door from hinge, Used screw driver to pry latching tabs on bezel off of the attachment points on the door. Pressed new bezel on, snapped into place like butter. Put handle screws back in, reattached the door to hinge, pressed inside ring back into place. Much easier than this description.

Microwave would turn on when door opened
Unscrewed numerous screws holding the "body/shell" to the microwave. Removed body. I then unplugged top door switch, replaced it with new one, and "tested" the new one. I fixed our $400 convection micro with an $18 switch. NICE!

noise eminating from carousel
I removed 4 screw from the under carriage of the microwave then, removed the 2 screws from the motor, replaced the motor and replaced the screws. It was so easy it took only 4 minutes to perform, better than replacing the whole unit (microwave) and less expensive too. i only wish it was made in the US, I wouldn't mind to spend a little more.

Microwave wouldn’t shut off when door was opened
Followed the online videos to enter the cavity to the switch holder. Noticed right away the dreaded capacitor was in back right corner behind where the touch pad had been removed. I isolated the capacitor with an old computer mouse pad for extra safety. Took some manipulations to get the switch mount out from behind the wire bundles. Once out front, easy to use small flat blade screwdriver to release each switch and replace with matching new switch. Only one switch was bad but replaced all three. Back together and working great.

Turntable wouldn’t turn
I removed a few (6) screws and disengaged the motor. Removed the parts and installed in reverse order. Replaced the screws. Easy

Cleaning up the grease from cooking for years on the stovetop below took WAY longer. But the repair was simple!!

Charcoil Filter needed to be changed.
GE microwave displayed the message that Charcoil Filter needs to be changed. I disconnected the unit and removed the top two screws then removed the top panel by sliding it gently to the left. Replaced the filter. And positioned it in the same way the old filter was installed. Replaced the top panel and screws, Connected the unit back and used the Menu option to reset the Charcoil Filter warning option.
