JVM1542BF002 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Removed tray from shipping container and installed in the microwave.

First unplugged the microwave, took top grill off, took control panel off, took wires off and used color coded tape to make sure they went back in right places, took fuse out and replaced it and put every thing back and it all worked fine and to top it off my wife did it all. So it was pretty easy.

I first read where someone had the same problem. Their solution was a burned-out fuse. I ordered a new fuse...installed it and that did not solve my problem. I revisted PartSelect and read how Marla (from Arlington, TX)solved her problem. I purchased a secondary switch and when it arrived, I made a copy of Marla's instructions and followed them to the letter. I installed the new secondary switch into the secondary space, put everything back together and the oven STILL DID NOT WORK. I had to take the latching panel apart again and test each switch to see if there was another bad one. I found that the third switch was burned out. So I took the new switch out of the second slot and installed it into the third slot. I tested the switches before reinstalling the latching panel. This time everything worked. So I put everything back together, reinstalled the microwave on the wall, tested it again, and everything worked perfectly.

Replace the fuses

Removed the door and took the door inside frame apart, the ridge holding the outside glass had broken. After getting the new door pannel simply put door back together.

To replace the broken latch (which rendered the microwave inoperable), I used a flat head screw driver to pry the plastic surround off of the inside of the microwave door. Then used the same screwdriver to pry off the metal inner apron--BE CAREFUL, when the metal apron pops off, the door glass will slip down. Latch itself easily popped into place. We took advantage of the repair to give micro a thorough cleaning--consider ordering filters when ordering parts to save on shipping. Repair was much easier than trying to locate an over-the-range micro to fit in same spot and latch itself was <$5.00.

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 .

Just like the directions said. Very simple.

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

Placed the new tray in the microwave.

Ordered the part on Monday, it was delivered on Wednesday, only paid for standard shipping. All I had to do was put it in, right part, back to new!
