JTP85BA1BB General Electric Microwave Oven Combo - Instructions

Replaced new light housing.
Thanks to you guys for the prompt response

Before you get started on this be sure that you already have the Bottom Cabinet Trim Assembly (item #PS952490) either ordered or installed. We were not aware that you had to order both trim items separately which meant we had to remove the oven door twice. Using the screwdriver to pull back the door tabs, we first removed the oven door. The trim installed very easy. We just lined up the holes, pushed in, and then down on the trim to lock it in place. When reinstalling the oven door, be sure that door latches are almost fully extended before reinserting them into their slots.

Replace the fuses

Replaced the fuse. Result; did not fix the problem.

Feedback on site warned me that broiler element is only connected to oven wiring with press-on spade lugs rather than screws. Even with care I managed to 'lose' a wire and had to retrieve it with section of stiff coat-hanger wire bent into a hook. Coming off that experience, I soldered the spade terminals together before reassembly to avoid a repeat. New element, however, failed to rectify problem. Professional technician found main control unit defective -- a $300 part including installation, but at least GE still has it available. My advice to others in this situation is to remove old element before ordering a replacement, and test with meter to see if it's defective. It may or may not be worth going beyond an element replacement to you.

Replaced lower heating element by first turning off power at breaker box. Secondly, removing the two 1/4 " screws and slowly pulling the element forward exposing the two connections. Pull the element gently until you separate the heating element fromthe clips.Gently insert the new element into the clips and replace into the oven housing and secure with the two 1/4" nuts. Turn power on at the electrical box.

I opened oven and pushed oven rack inside.

Easily glide in.

I unscrewed the four bottom phillip screws to loosen the rail where the glass sits. Then I loosened the two side screws that hold the door handle and I was able to move the upper rail just enough to be able to slide the glass panel where it goes. I then aligned the glass panel making sure it was secured on the bottom and upper rails. I put back the screws and tighten them to keep the panel from moving. It was a very simple part to install. Thanks for your quick delivery.

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.

This repair was quite a bit more difficult then what had been described on the web site. First off, I have a double wall oven that is built in. Sliding it out of the cabinet was difficult and because oven was hard wired, I had to disconnect the actual wiring from the oven back. . Positioning the oven and allowing for it to rest on a support bench was the most difficult part The oven is heavy. Eventually, removing the back and top panels of the oven revealed the sensor connection. I was then able to feed it through the oven and reconnect all the wiring harnesses.. Getting the oven back in the cabinet was equally a challenge. But it did seem to fix the problem with over heating.

I shut off power to the microwave, discharged the Hi-voltage capaciator and disconnected the wires to it, then removed the screw and bracket that held the capaciator in place. After removing and replacing the capaciator, reattaching wires and mounting bracket, and replacing the 15amp fuse, the microwave woked fine.

My unit is built into the cabinets in my kitchen. Only needed to remove 4 screws from inside oven door. Slid out unit. Disconnected old element and connected new one. Reinstalled 4 screws. That was it! Couldn't have been easier.

just slipped it in

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 grill 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.
