JVM1490B General Electric Microwave - Instructions

the problem was the mounting bracket that was installed when the house was built ,was not the bracket that came with the microwave. It was used to step the microwave out 3" in front of the other cabinets for the style that they were using then. so when I was installing the new cabinets I didn't want that style, so I ordered the original mounting bracket. It was a perfect fit and the install went great

Removed plate inside door cover and removed old screws and plastic handle. Reassembled.

Removed inner trim panel. Bottom screw was visible But upper screw was behind metal frame that trim plate snaps onto Removed that to access screw. Door latch had to be removed to. Not a big deal just be sure spring on latch is reinstalled same way it was removed. Took longer than expected but way cheaper than a service call. Part arrived on time

Replace the fuses

removed key pad then removed latch assembly and replaced it with new latch assembly.

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 .

removed screw from inside wall. removed leftover board & replaced with new board & screw. good as new!!!

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

I UNPLUGGED the microwave and removed the cover, using a phillips and a Torx screwdriver for the machine screws. I set these screws aside, so as not to confuse them with the later encountered screws. I photographed the magnetron to assure proper placement of the 6 phillips machine screws involved in reassembly (marking the the locations on the old magnetron would do as well. I marked the old magnetron "old", to avoid later confusion. I removed the two screws holding the shields to the magnetron. I removed 3 of the 4 screws holding the magnetron to the microwave, leaving one of the top screws. I held the magnetron securely and removed the last screw, pulling out a the part of the magnetron that penetrated the microwave. I installed the new magnetron in reverse order. One problem I encountered was locating one of the six screws, which had been pulled into the old magnetron by magnetism.

I pulled out the unit and found 2 interlock switches that are depressed when the door closes. After cycling the door open/closed I found that one of the switches occasionally would stay depressed. The repair was easy (after I took off the panels so I could get to the switch) I simply removed 2 screws that attached the interlock switch assemblies to the main unit. Then I popped out the defective switch and popped in the new one. This did indeed fix my problem.

Removed. Inside frame with putty knife replace new latch attach spring and line up notch of latch in slots. That was the most difficult part replace inside frame. Done!

Unscrewed the two connecting points, cleared out the broken bits of plastic, mounted the new grille and screwed the two screws back in. Easy. Also, the new part arrived very quickly.

This was actually easy, first you must remove the top vent piece found above the door, remove 2 screws and the vent pops off, next simply lift the door(straight up) and it should come off. Place the door on a table face down and pry off the plastic outer square using the putty knife, use care since its plastic there are tabs under that will break. Once off locate 6 screws holding the metal bracket that hold the glass in and remove, the bracket will now come out with a bit of prying, again be careful there are several tabs holding the bracket in. Be careful on tiping the door, the inner glass will drop. Once this is removed you have access to the 2 screws holding the old door handle in, in my case I had to hold the old handle with a plier to prevent the piece from turning while I took the screws out(save the screws), after you removed the old simply pop in the new handle using the old screws reattach and reverse the takedown and reattach the door. 15 minutes

The primary door latch switch contacts were not closing properly. I broke the latch bracket while removing the switch. It is only a plastic clip that holds the switch in place. I replaced the switch and bracket. The Advantium now works in all modes.

I had left the door to the microwave open and turned around and hit the door latch assembly with my arm, sanpping off the bottom latch hook. In an effort to take apart the latch assembly it was necessary to take off the door choke cover and in doing so I sanpped a few of the plastic tabs that hold it in place. Undismayed, I then went online, found PartSelect, ordered the replacement parts, received them in three days and in fifteen minutes fixed both of them. The diagrams on the site made it easy to find what I needed and ordering the parts was easy. Thanks PartSelect-my wife is happy again!!!
