brought new one and the help with the sites pictures to describe what I need was extremely helpful. The prompt delivery was great.

saved me having to buy a new microwave. It was super fast delivery, had the part the next day! Amazing service and great customer support.

bought a fuse but that didn't solve the problem. Guess I need a new microwave

After reading reviews that there was no power what so ever and a fuse replacement will solve the problem, I tried it. Replacing the fuse is very easy (and I am not handy at all). All you have to do is remove the microwave cover from the top by removing two screws, slide the cover to the left and pulling the cover off. Then remove the grill in front of you, by removing one or two screws. The fuse is in front of you, use pliers and be firm but gentle. Replacing the fuse is easy but it did not solve my problem.

This was simple. However I found that the turntable motor was striped so I had to order that too and take off the oven cover. It was simple. Just like walking to the drugstore. I figure I saved at least $100! Be careful when you put the ring guide back. Just line it up carefully. Don't force it! With these on-line appliance people, you are a winner! You can always call the repair guy, they'll be glad to come out, but if you have 1/2 a brain, you can fix it yourself.

After contacting GE support I realized the only interest they had in helping me was to recommend sending a $$$ technican to diagnose the problem. I decided to go to the Sears Parts select website.to see if others were experiencing the noise me microwave was making. After reading through others posting on the subject I decided to purchase the Synchronous Motor. While waiting for the part to come I decided to lubricate the hub of the spides that rotates the plate with white Lithium grease. After a couple of times utilizing the microwave noise went away so whn the part arrived at me home I put it in a drawer just incase I need it a some future date. Hope that someone else finds this information useful. "The Crafty Dodger in Houston"

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.

Repairs went great with no issues. It took me longer to clean up the area and interior of the microwave. Dust goes everywhere when fans are used to cool and move the air.

Inserted the new tray into the microwave. SIMPLE!!Parts delivered the tray the next day. I wasn't expecting this so fast!!
