JVM1490WD003 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

bought a fuse but that didn't solve the problem. Guess I need a new microwave

Removed the door, removed the old choke cover (breaking all the stap catches), removed the slide door latch assembly from the spring (the most difficult task) then reassembly of the latch to spring, sliding into the grooves along the inside of the door, the installing the new choke cover (very easy with the new one) taking care not the break any of the staps. Easy enough! Another difficult task was to re-install the door to the frame. It appears that the lower "hinge" is slightly bent down to allow easy install but the door now makes a slight sweeking sound when opening and closing.

Unpacked glass plate from cardboard box and placed atop rotating spindle inside oven - 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.

Our GE Profile Advantium 120 Series Over-the-Range Microwave stopped working. We called GE Service. The first available appointment was two weeks after our call. The technician charged $99, gave us a form stating that the Magnetron and Diode Cable as defective and quoting an additional price of $362 to furnish and install these parts. He said that it would be another two weeks before he could do the work. Instead I ordered the parts from you and had them within two days. The parts you furnished were identical to the original parts in our unit. They arrived within two days. I installed the parts without removing the microwave from the wall. The most difficult part was inserting the magnetron mounting screws into openings in the rather tight space available. I was able to do this by using plastic pacaging tape to hold the screws onto the end of a short Phillip screw, Prior to iserting each screw I pushed it through the sticky side of a piece of packaging tape. I then folded the sticky surface over the shank of the screw. Once a screw was seated, but before it was fully tightened, I used needle nose pliers to pull off the tape. The unit now functions perfectly.

The primary door latch switch contacts were not closing properly. I broke the latch bracket while removing the switch. It is only a plastic clip that holds the switch in place. I replaced the switch and bracket. The Advantium now works in all modes.

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!

My son said order it. It came a day later. Very cool. He took the door off and up to his room. No idea what tools except most likely a screwdriver. I asked him how did it go. He said it's good. Nice...

Snap the plastic trim piece from the inside of the door off.took broken latch out and put the new one in.PS your part came really fast.Thanks

I first removed the top vent cover by pushing upwards slowly as not to break the plastic tabs holding it it place. Then lifted the door off of the hinges. Laying the door flat, I then inserted small screwdrivers (eyeglass repair size) into the "Mask frame" to push the "J" tabs inward. Do slowly as they get brittle with age. Remove the 8 small screws holding the door assembly to the plastic frame. You'll see the 2 screws holding the handle in place. Remove them, install new handle, reverse process. About 35 minutes.

I held the door open while the repair man took the black facing off and replaced the latch and reinstalled the facing I was worn out

removed cover an replaced

This seems to be a fairly common occurrence so I've repaired this multiple times, once a year on average. The on site instructions are clear. Lift the top vent area off so you can remove the door. Open the door all of the way, lift off of the bottom peg and pull from the top. Lay door on a flat surface and with a small flat head screwdriver, gently pry the frame up (part 1804, door chock cover). There are small plastic tabs holding this part: use caution as they break easily. Once removed, on the door assembly, remove the small Philips screws: push the plastic tabs back, one side first; this part should then slide out. Both door handle screws are the exposed. Remove these (probably holding the broken handle parts, use the small screwdriver for lift to remove parts). Place the new handle on the door and replace the screws. replace the door assembly, be sure to lock all of the tabs back in place, snap door mask in place, replace door.

The Vent Grill came off when the two Tabs crack and broke off. The New replacement from PartSelect arrivied. Took the part out of package and replaced the two screws on top of the Vent. Had to push the Vent in to align the first screw. Pushed the side of the vent to align the Tab and put the second screw in. The fit was perfect

Remove choke,then remove glass, then replace handle reinstall in reverse
