I had broken the clips that hold the vent in while cleaning it.
I ordered the part from this site (which was a little lower cost than another site but was described as a genuine GE part), and I looked up the instructions in my manual. It took about a week to get the new grille. There are 2 philips head screws attaching the grille. Just remove the screws, discard the old grille and put in the new grille with the same screws. The description on-line calls it a snap on grill which is a little misleading. It is attached with screws. I was fearful that it would not fit but it is identical to the old one. I am very pleased I did not have to replace the microwave even though it is 11 years old, it works.

Microwave not turning on. All other functions operate
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD and discharge the capacitor
Leave unplugged overnight
Remove vent grille by removing the 2 philips screws
Remove the LED panel by removing 1 phillips screw
Disconnect all connectors that plug into back of the LED board completely
Remove the wires from the switches (3) at the inside edge of the microwave door
Gently remove each switch housing and test all three switches for continuity
Carefully replace non-functioning switches and reassemble the panel
GOOD LUCK

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.

Bad door switch and divide
Remove upper grill, then control panel, then 2 screws hold door switch mounting bracket, that will let you roll the switches out to work on them. Remove each switch by carefully pushing back retainer clips. Diode a long pair of needlenose pliers is helpful. The control board in front of capacitor comes out with a flat screwdriver and pry up. Removing grnd wires helps

Timer, light and control pad worked. Turn table and heat did not work. Oven would not start up.
I first read where someone had the same problem. Their solution was a burned-out fuse. I ordered a new fuse...installed it and that did not solve my problem. I revisted PartSelect and read how Marla (from Arlington, TX)solved her problem. I purchased a secondary switch and when it arrived, I made a copy of Marla's instructions and followed them to the letter. I installed the new secondary switch into the secondary space, put everything back together and the oven STILL DID NOT WORK. I had to take the latching panel apart again and test each switch to see if there was another bad one. I found that the third switch was burned out. So I took the new switch out of the second slot and installed it into the third slot. I tested the switches before reinstalling the latching panel. This time everything worked. So I put everything back together, reinstalled the microwave on the wall, tested it again, and everything worked perfectly.

The Microwave was making a loud sound when the vent was turned-on
I removed the microwave from the wall and observed where the sound came from, I then removed the part that was held by two screws, then I order the part on Part Select it took three days to receive the part and in 5 minutes I installed it.

The unit would run when the door was open!
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.
