JES1290WJC01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

I removed the plastic plug that held the wavecover in place and pulled the wavecover off. I replaced with new cover and it worked perfect.

The wave guide cover (wgc) are notoriously bad on this model. As far as I can tell even a little food that gets stuck on it combined with cooking small/insubstantial items will cause the wgc to overheat and catch on fire. Ordered a part from partselect, found it very easily on their site using a nice diagram and ordered it. The item came in two days and was a cinch to pop in and replace.

Remove white plastic button retainer (flipped out of my fingers and lost it. Found it 2 days later. Dog had chewed on it.) tabs on cover fit in nicely. New cover gets hot. Don't know if this is normal.

Removed the three screws holding the cover on. then rmoved the two wires from the capacitor. Removed the screw holding the end of the zener diode to the chassis. Removed the diode from the capacitor. installed the new capacitor and replaced the blown fuse then reversed the removal process.

no tools required. saved me from buying new microwave. glad i found this site.

Removed the old wave guide cover and replaced it by slightly bending the wave guide cover and inserting 2 tabs on each side into the slots on the side of the micro/convection oven. I was ready to purchase a new appliance. Googled the model number, looked at a couple of sites and read the problems others had with this appliance and found my problem. I saved $$$ by purchasing the part and extended the life of my 11 year old appliance.

Fast & easy. I was able to determine that this foot would work from the descriptions on online!! Thanks

pushed guide cover into place without fastening to button

on the kitchen counter. Removed parts and replaced exactly as the came off. insuring all fits were tight and secure.

I had kept the old cover, just measured it against the new one, outlined it with a pencil, cut it to the correct size with a pair of scissors. Works perfectly now!
