Fairly easy to repair. The hardest part for me was trying to get the lip under the frame so it will snap in.
I could only replace the left screw because the right didn’t align properly. The grill fits tightly so I’m not worried about the one side.

Placed the new tray into the oven.

Another company said the new plate would arrive in mid-March, this company seemed to be faster so ordered the tray here, and it came in less than a week. I put the turn button back in the center hole, set the wheeled ring on the bottom of the oven, fitted the new glass tray onto the turn button.

Used Google to locate parts dealers for GE.
Ordered from Partselect.

Part arrived a few days later and I easily put it in.

I thought the cost of this part was out of line but all others sold it for about the same.

Popped off the control panel. Unscrewed and disconnected the circuit board. Reconnected and screwed in the new panel and popped it back on.

Turntable shaft was worn and out of shape likely due to heat. Simply remove rotating glass and damaged plastic shaft underneath. Replace with new shaft.

Had to buy bigger screws to keep it from breaking again!

This repai me couldn’t have been simpler! I noticed that the stirrer fan cover on our microwave had melted areas. My husband suggested we just buy a new microwave. As the handywoman of the family, I searched online to see if it was a fix that I could handle. I ordered a part for less than $20 and fixed it in about 30 seconds! All I had to do was pop out the plastic screw, put the fan in the new cover, and pop it back into place!

Use a butter knife to pop small plastic pin out and turn to remove. Used the metal pinwheel from old one and placed it back up in the microwave. Never heard of this being possible, but it seems to happen per the website and many other comments.

Part just snapped into place and wires were reattached.

A 2 yr old could do this snap out. Snap in less then. 30 seconds . What a shame and rip off on appliance repair shops - I called to do this rediculsley 40 second job and the wantvv$125.00!9t more. Omg. I’m a senior/ no wonder God punished the world wit Covid 19! Too many nasty infair. Buii I needed and rip offs.
