Broken handle on the Advantium Microwave
Called my local appliance repair shop when the handle broke off my GE Advantium microwave. They told me the price of the handle, but said the door would need to be replaced as well. This is because the plastic tabs break off the inner door panel when it is removed. They estimated a $400 repair cost. I ordered the door and installed it for around $45. The inner panel comes out, and most of the tabs do break off. I was able to disassemble, install the new door, and reassemble. The inner panel stays right where it belongs, even though I broke off a few plastic tabs. Werks goood.

Bottom door latch was broken. Microwave was dead.
Read instructions and viewed video. Project would have been very difficult without the instructions and video. Step 1 removed vent grill at top to microwave, by removing two scres. Step 2 removed microwave door by lifting. Step 3 used a one inch plaster knife to separate the plastic interior cover of the door. The video was most helpful. Use the thin blade of the plaster knife to locate snap locations of the plastic cover. Step 4 removed broken latch by applying slight pressure to the outside. Observed the attachment of the 'spring'. Step 5 installed new latch and spring. Step 6 reinstalled interior plastic cover. Step 7 install door. Step 8 install vent cover with two screws. Step 9 test unit.

Broken Door handle and latch
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.

All power to the microwave went out.
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.

Powered Off completely
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.

I broke the glass tray
I'm writing because I have never in my life had such an easy time finding a part, ordering it, and receiving it! Your service is truly unbelievable. I still don't believe it and I experienced it. Nothing went wrong and it could not have been easier. Please don't go away.

bulb burned out
opened the access door. It took some tugging to get the old bulb out, and is was awkward getting the prongs on the replacement bulb lined up and pushed in, but it was accomplished in about 10 minutes. You had exactly the right information on a change in the part number that was made by GE, and you shipped the correct bulb the same day I ordered it.Good job. N R Brown
