thanks, you saved me a lot of money/.

With this model, you must remove the outer covering. Don't try to access the display unit from the front like I've seen in some other GE microwave videos. After removing the outer covering, the switches are easy to replace. They are very visible and easy to get to without taking any other parts off. You will see the door switches just ...

You will need a tamper resistant star bit to remove 3 or 4 screws from the back panel. All other screws are philips head. I went ahead and replaced both switches (yes...there are two of them) and works like a charm. I saved an $800 microwave for less than $60 and know what to do if it happens again. Appears to be a common problem on this model. Thanks for others making a post...It saved me time and money reading others remarks. Good luck!

First I had to accept the fact that the unit was designed to keep non-professional people from doing any repairs. The switch was installed in such a manner that I had to break the mounting to remove the switch, then drill a hole in the mounting to secure the new switch in place.

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 g ... Read more rill 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.

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.

This is a GE Profile Microwave/Convection Oven that has the Built-In Kit. The microwave is really a countertop oven that can be placed in a cabinet for a built-in look. The removal of the shroud was easy but it takes two people to remove the oven from a high cabinet location. Once you get the spacer pieces off with a regular Phillips, ... Read more you will need a Security Torx set to remove the screws around the rear of the cabinet. Once the cover is removed the bulb is easy to locate mounted upside down behind the control panel. One screw holds the bulb in place, so remove it, replace the bulb and reverse the assembly procedure. It takes about 30 minutes but will save you between $75 and $150 for a service call. YOU WILL NEED A SECURITY TORX SET that can be purchased at your favorite tool shed.
