JVM1640SJ02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

working changed out the motor that arrived within 2days. Great Service and thank you so much.Brian Kerry

Was not aware that the microwave had to be lowered to get at the two screws on top that hold in the grill.Fortunately,I had easy access to the long mounting screws on top and was able to let the unit hang down while the grill screws were removed and the new grill was installed.

The hard part I thought, was to find the part I needed. Not so with Part Select. It took less than a minute to find and order. The new part showed up in a few days. I noticed the new part was a little differant in a good way. The socket porition was a little deeper making it a little better. The microwave works great now.

It was REALLY EASY finding the right parts using your diagrams..Thanks for your HELP!!I will definitely be back.Dan H

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.

Microwave had to be dropped down about 3 inches from the mount,two upper screws removed replaced old vent with new and replaced screws but didn't make them too tight.

The toughest part was to fit the glass into the new door frame. It had to snug into the allotted space on all four sides. The plastic frame edging the door was relatively easy to take off and re-assemble. Precision was the key.

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..........

Ordering was easy and instillation even easier

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.

took off the old grille and put new one on and lined it up properly and screwed it in.

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.

FIRST OFF I'd Like to say. I phoned my cities Appliance Repair Specialist. He didn't return my call. I rephoned and got him. Told him I need the Door frame. He said GE would make me buy the entire door so just by a new Microwave from him. I went online and this was the first sight I found. Typed in my Make and model number and up popped a scematic. I hit on Door and there it was all layed out in pieces. I hit the front door frame and BOOM Payed for it and two days later it was here. BRAVO to you folks. Since most of the front trim frame had fallen off I just had to pull a little around the outer edges to get the rest of it off. I noticed when I ordered the New Part from you that the front door handle was held on by two screws from the backside of the door. When I looked and couldn't see them I knew they had to be under the inner plastic frame work on the backside of the door. SO I kind of pulled on it at various places around it's edges and it started to pop OFF and I worked it off. Removed the screws and handle that held that last part of the front trim frame. Snapped in the new one. Reinstalled the door handle and snapped the rear door panel back on and it was DONE!!!

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.
