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 behind the display board. Remove the switch and then remove the connecting wires to ensure you don't inadvertently brake a wire. 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!

remov cover to check voltage and found problem at the interlock switch ohm the switch and found it was open replace both switches it work fine now

Went on Youtube and pulled up how to fix a microwave.

Checked all sensors with a multi-meter, found the thermostat to be the problem, no continuity.

The Halogen Light Bulbs for lighting the area below the microwave seemed to be burned out. I order new bulbs but by the time they arrived the old bulbs appeared to be working again. Not sure why this happened but I have new bulbs if they become burned out for good at some point.

Ridiculously easy, unscrew, and change bulbs. Having the correct bulbs made all the difference, I did not have to waste time looking for the correct one.

It was just a matter of removing the old bulb and easily putting the new one in place. Very simple repair and the bulb was received amazingly fast. Was no doubt the best service I have received and I appreciate the quick response.

Removed screw holding faceplate that covered bulbs. Next inserted new bulbs into sockets.
Turned on surface light to insure they worked - they did. Re-attached faceplate.

Replace the fuses

Removed old bulbs replaced with new. Bulb fit perfect thank you

Inside "cavity" bulb was a PITA. Need to remove top decorative trim (2 screws and tabs) to access bulb housing. Broke 1 screw tab so be careful (Wiggle it more). Acccess to bulb housing was made for younger smaller hands, attached by 1 screw. Remove screw, rotate housing, replace bulb. Reverse proceedure. Outside bulb, cake...1 screw, drop lens replace bulb, your done.

Used a phillips screwdriver to remove the screw holding the light cover in place. Removed the two bulbs and replaced them. Closed the cover and tightened the screw

Screw out-old bulb out- new bulb in- screw back in!!!!!
