JVM1490BD003 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Read other folks on your site on how they did it and I followed their directions. About 30 minutes and it was done. Figured I saved lots of money. Thanks

Removed inner trim panel. Bottom screw was visible But upper screw was behind metal frame that trim plate snaps onto Removed that to access screw. Door latch had to be removed to. Not a big deal just be sure spring on latch is reinstalled same way it was removed. Took longer than expected but way cheaper than a service call. Part arrived on time

Removed plate inside door cover and removed old screws and plastic handle. Reassembled.

removed screw from inside wall. removed leftover board & replaced with new board & screw. good as new!!!

Replaced the fuse. Result; did not fix the problem.

Replace the fuses

unplug the unit then pull down , lot of screws are on top. open the cover . you could see the parts that need to replace on the right hand side (heavy side). disconnect wires then test the parts that need to replace by a tester to make sure that it's really broke .then unscrew part and replace .

removed key pad then removed latch assembly and replaced it with new latch assembly.

I UNPLUGGED the microwave and removed the cover, using a phillips and a Torx screwdriver for the machine screws. I set these screws aside, so as not to confuse them with the later encountered screws. I photographed the magnetron to assure proper placement of the 6 phillips machine screws involved in reassembly (marking the the locations on the old magnetron would do as well. I marked the old magnetron "old", to avoid later confusion. I removed the two screws holding the shields to the magnetron. I removed 3 of the 4 screws holding the magnetron to the microwave, leaving one of the top screws. I held the magnetron securely and removed the last screw, pulling out a the part of the magnetron that penetrated the microwave. I installed the new magnetron in reverse order. One problem I encountered was locating one of the six screws, which had been pulled into the old magnetron by magnetism.

Part delivered in2 days - awesome!Used the putty knife to get under the tabs to pull the cover shield off to get at the door "innards". Needed to take the underpanel out 6 small phillips head screws - non-magnetic so be careful you don't lose them.Pulled the shield of and the door comes away. Becareful not to drop it. Handle and latch went on quickly and as expected - put parts back in reverse order and off yuo go. Door works as good as new.

Took off cover , unpluged switches , took off switch assy, off/on test hooped and howlered for about 5 mins .Then laughed about other sites said could get those switches. Just wanted to say I LOVE Partselect. Super fast del , great price. JUST AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Removed. Inside frame with putty knife replace new latch attach spring and line up notch of latch in slots. That was the most difficult part replace inside frame. Done!

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.

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.
