PVM9179BL3TS General Electric Microwave Oven Combo - Instructions

The breaker was tripped but fuse was ok on testing. I kept the fuse for possible future repairs. To access door switches and fuse on this model JVM1850CF001, remove 2 phillips screws at top. Then slide the grill to the left (toward hinges) about 1 cm and it should easily come off forwardly. Remove phillips screw underneath grill attaching the main panel. Lift the panel 1 cm and it will easily come off forwardly - I let it hang by the electrical cords. Now you can see/discharge capacitor(s). Remove 2 star screws inside door to loosen/remove/access door switch frame. 3 switches are held in the frame by plastic tabs - one tab per switch. One is primary and 2 are secondary door switches. I removed each switch one at a time by lifting tab, pulled off the electrical connector and filed the male metal connection on each switch. I replaced the switch with a loose button (loose and didn't click as crisply compared to the other switches) with a new secondary door switch. It was the lower secondary switch. Worked like a charm after that.

-unplug
-remove top and front covers
-unplug wire connectors from heating assembly
-remove heating assembly from metal stand and push out of the way
-remove metal stand from dry
-pull out heating assembly
-install new one in reserve order

This repair was easy and could be done by anyone. If you undertake to do this replacement, remember to slowly bend the medal tabs back that hold the lens. Handled roughly these tabs could break off.

This repair can be don in under 5 minutes, easily !!

remove two screws bend out flaps remove broken glass install new glas bend flaps back to hold glass install two screws. Done.

Removed the control panel, one screw at the top. Removed 2 screws on the door switch holder and removed the door switch. VERY EASY.

First and foremost the service was superb. Ordered on a Monday and had it on Wednesday - WOW. I opened the package and put it in the microwave.
I thank you very much for your fast, efficient and professional service.

I received the tray and place it in the microwave for a perfect fit. My wife is so happy.

Removed one screw, installed new lense in lense frame, rescrewed. Done.

The Halogen Light Bulbs for lighting the area below the microwave seemed to be burned out. I order new bulbs but by the time they arrived the old bulbs appeared to be working again. Not sure why this happened but I have new bulbs if they become burned out for good at some point.

Ridiculously easy, unscrew, and change bulbs. Having the correct bulbs made all the difference, I did not have to waste time looking for the correct one.

Used a phillips head screw driver and loosened the lens frame under the microwave. Removed the broken lens and replaced it with the lens ordered. Put the lens frame back in place and secured it with the phillips head screw.

My husband wanted to use super glue to put it back together. I totally disagreed - googled the problem - order the replacement tray. It works great!!!

Just put the new tray in and it fit perfect

Cannot believe how fast I received the tray. It was shipped from Lenexa warehouse, which is just 100 miles south of us so I received it in like nextday. Popped it in Microwave and was good as new. Will definitely order from parts select again. Thank you.
