Broken glass turntable
I was surprised to find that the turntable for my 10 year old GE Profile microwave/convection oven was not readily available at my local GE retailer. I ordered the part from this website hoping that my order would be filled. I received an immediate response from customer service and the part was on my front doorstep in under 1 week! I would order from this website again!

microwave fan will not shut off when door is closed.
Slide thin blade between black plastic cover and microwave door frame and pry up gently to release snap in tabs for the top. They are about 8 inches from each side of the door lengthwise. Same for bottom, except pry down. Next pry outward at each end with blade between the black plastic frame and door frame to release snap in tabs. Doing this may take a bit of jiggle work and be gentle, this frame is fragile. Next there are 5 small phillips screws behind this frame to be removed. 2 bottom 2 top and 1 by door handle. When screws are loosened keep phillips driver holding the screw in, then cup your hand under each screw and catch them when removing them to prevent screws hitting the floor and bouncing to lostville. Next use the thin blade to pry door outer shell from door frame partially. Insert blade between metal frame and plastic shell of door approx. 4 inches from end lengthwise and pry up to release snap in tabs. Repeat for bottom except pry down. The door may separate at handle end now; if not insert blade vertically at handle end about 3 inches from top between metal frame and plastic door shell and pry out and again about 3 inches lower. Use fingers to pry handle end of door apart far enough to see the spring holding the latch. Use fingers or small needlenose pliars to undo spring then slide up plastic latch and remove. Place old spring onto hook in the middle of the new latch, position new latch with latch arms with circles pointing downward back onto metal frame with upper and lower latch guides hooking into metal frame. Push latch down and reconnect spring to metal hook in door frame. Slide new latch up and down a little bit to ensure proper operation. Next squeeze metal frame and outer door shell together until you hear the snap ins snap close. Next put a small bit of wax on end of phillips driver to hold the small screws and reinstall them. Next insert the end of the black plastic frame towards the hinges first into the door then rest the black plastic frame lightly against the microwave door. Press against the top back corner about 4 inches from the hinges and squeeze together the door and the frame. It will make snap sound then repeat for bottom corner. Next squeeze together about 4 inches from handle end at top then bottom to hear snap sound. Finally squeeze the vertical part together behind the handle and make sure black plastic frame is flush with metal door frame and you are done. Again these parts are fragile so take your time.

Oven wouldn't sensor reheat & error code on display
I looked at the exploded pic on your web site to find the location of the sensor. Next I removed the cover by unscrewing 15 screws then swaped the sensor and re assembled! Works great! Fixing it my self I saved at least 150$ and did not have to wait all day for a repair man who probaly would not have the part on the first visit.

Halogen lamps did not light-burned out
Removed the light cover screw with a Phillips screwdriver. Removed the lamps from the packaging just enough to free up the 2 prongs for fitting in the socket. Make sure the power is in the "off position". Install the bulbs one at a time by lining up the 2 sockets (Very important not to touch the halogen bulb glass surface while installing them). Energize the light switch to check operation of the new bulbs.

Both my microwave halogen lamps went out.
Using a phillips screwdriver I opened the panel in which the two lamps are located and easily removed the lamps. I ordered them through the internet and was pleasantly surprised when I received them the next day.

purchased a home that the microwave needed a grease filter
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.

Holder bracket broken so Door swithch could not be activated
Part arrived next day! Thank you Parts Select. Holder bracket on older GE microwave was broken so MW would not start because door latch did not activate door switch. Removed front panel unplugged all the wiring (after I had taken a picture) to gain access to the holder bracket. Unplugged the three door switches. Removed two screws that held the holder bracket. Installed three new door switches into the new holder bracket. Positioned the bracket behind the frame and screwed back in the two screws. Snapped in this seven wire attachments, set the control panel back in the microwave and secured it with two screws. I only needed one screwdriver and one needle nose plier to remove the wire attachment from a door switch which made it easier to remove. 40 minutes.
