JVM1490BD003 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Take the pliers and place a tight grip on the broken rack bracket, twist toward front of microwave until loose, pop out and by hand insert new rack bracket, twist toward the back of microwave until fully in place. One side was slightly harder than the other taking off and replacing rack bracket.

Ordered the part on Monday, it was delivered on Wednesday, only paid for standard shipping. All I had to do was put it in, right part, back to new!

The instructions were great!!! It was difficult to take the face plate off without breaking the nibs off that hold it in place. Other then that the only issue I had was removing the broken piece that was cemented in place by the years of super glue. Had to drill it out and almost drilled out the receiver plate to hold the screw/handle in place. I have to say this saved me $400 because I was just about to buy a new microwave because the broken door handle had driven me crazy over the last 3 years.

Quick and easy repair. I also want to comment on the very helpful telephone assistance from your customer service rep and the very fast shipping. You are a wonderful Company to do business with

Took item from sealed box and removed protective bubble wrap. Placed tray in microwave, aligning tray with turntable sprockets. Perfect fit, perfect match! And the part arrived in three days and was very competitively priced. What more is there to stay? Will use PartSelect for other replacement parts. No brainer!

This wasn't easy to do, it would have been better to have two people. Taking the plastic trim off the inside of the door is tough, and only gets you access to the top screw. (You need to take that trim off to remove the door, and you have to put the door back on before you put the trim back, by the way.) You have to remove the shield covering the glass in order to get to the bottom screw. I didn't think I'd be able to get that shield off, and another set of hands to help pry it up would have been helpful. All in all, it's worth doing because the part is only $40 or so, but I can't call it an easy fix. Also, since the top of the handle had broken where the plastic screw sleeve meets the handle, and the screw was still inside the sleeve, it was almost impossible to get the screw out. Needlenose pliers wouldn't do it. I finally had to use a drill to drill away at the plastic sleeve until it was almost completely gone to get the screw out.

Removed cover, diagnosed problem, ordered part from Parts Select, received part in 2 days, replaced part, tested and replaced oven into built in space.

take the door off. The door lifts up and off. Once on a flat surface the job became must easier

I went on line and found the part and read all the comments that had been written on how to repair the door and I found the directions on how to take it off and put it back on, so it helps to do your research on taking it off and putting another one. My son-in-law did it for me, it was quite difficult to remove the screws,and it took about 30 min to remove the door and take the screws out, but putting it back on was easy and took less than 5 min. So I was pleased, the part was ordered on Sat and came by FX on Tuesday, I was very happy with the service, and it works as good as new. Just do your research, that helped a lot.

I pulled out the unit and found 2 interlock switches that are depressed when the door closes. After cycling the door open/closed I found that one of the switches occasionally would stay depressed. The repair was easy (after I took off the panels so I could get to the switch) I simply removed 2 screws that attached the interlock switch assemblies to the main unit. Then I popped out the defective switch and popped in the new one. This did indeed fix my problem.

Unscrewed the two connecting points, cleared out the broken bits of plastic, mounted the new grille and screwed the two screws back in. Easy. Also, the new part arrived very quickly.

Remove door from unit. Place on cushioned service. Carefully pry plastic frame on inside of door to expose upper screw hole for handle. To gain access to lower screw hole, the inner metal frame must be removed. First, remove screws holding metal frame to door. Now carefully pry back the plastic tabs on each side. Once tabs are freed, metal frame easily removes. Install new handle, snap metal frame back, reinsert metal screws, then resnap plastic frame into place.

Read instructions and viewed video. Project would have been very difficult without the instructions and video. Step 1 removed vent grill at top to microwave, by removing two scres. Step 2 removed microwave door by lifting. Step 3 used a one inch plaster knife to separate the plastic interior cover of the door. The video was most helpful. Use the thin blade of the plaster knife to locate snap locations of the plastic cover. Step 4 removed broken latch by applying slight pressure to the outside. Observed the attachment of the 'spring'. Step 5 installed new latch and spring. Step 6 reinstalled interior plastic cover. Step 7 install door. Step 8 install vent cover with two screws. Step 9 test unit.

Very easy replacement. Just lift out and replace with a new one!

the plastic liner was re moved to expose the handle screws.the top screw was acessable and removable. the bottom screw was behind the metal support of the protective window.I used a over size metal bit in my drill to expose the screw head holding lower part of the handle. The screw was removed and the hole cleaned out for the replacement handle. job was completed
