JVM1350SY01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

2 screws out 2 screws back piece of cake

Used thin spatula to remove plastic frame around inside of door to expose bottom screw. Removed top and bottom screw and pulled off broken handle. After cleaning up the outside of the door, installed new handle and tightened screws. Popped plastic frame back into place: done!

We planned on buying a new microwave but thought well, we would see if there was a part available for a 13 year old microwave. Lo and Behold! Partselect.com had one! It was shipped and we got it in a couple of days. By reading what others (professional installers) said about putting the new handle on, I was confident to let my husband tackle this on his own! We saved a service call and now it works like new!! Thanks

My son repaired it. The difficulty was because there was no schematic included and we couldn't figure out how to access the screw at the bottom of the handle. My son downloaded a schematic from the internet and finally figured out how to do it from that, but it would have been a lot quicker and easier if one had been included with the part. I was very satisfied, however, with the speed of the delivery.

Believe it or not, all the advice given by others was right on the mark. Unscrewed the top piece, worked the seal off, which was easier then I worried it would be, removed the screw from the broken piece and reversed the process. Even my wife was surprised I was able to complete the repair with no problems. THANK YOU for the help. Bill

Followed the instructions from the do-it-yourselfers on your web site which were all excellent and a wonderful asset to your site. It took us much longer than 5 minutes (about 20 min.) because we couldn't get the bottom screw out and then had one heck of a time screwing it into the new handle. Don't know if the srew was too long, too big or what, but we feel confident that it won't fall out!

Repair was two screws 2 times lefty loosy - 2 times righty tighty - two minutes tops.

I was more impressed by how fast Partselect got the part to me less than 23 hours from online order to sitting on my stoop. Great job !

used the part I requested and a few extra bolts...job well done!

The repair was easy. First, I read what a gentleman wrote about replacing the handle on his microwave and I followed what he did. I removed a screw, then the stripping around the inside glass, and then I removed the second screw. Hold the handle to the outside of the door, screw in the screws, then snap in place the stripping. It took the gentleman two minutes to replace his handle but it took me longer cause I couldn't get the bottom screw in place. My total time was under 10 minutes.

Thanks to everyone else on line & part select's tip, I unscrewed the top outer screw, removed the plastic seal from inside that covered the bottom screw, unscrewed that; then just installed the new handle and replaced the seal. It was easy as everyone said.

Removed the old handle and replaced it.

I used the instructions that came with the order of the part from this site. Right on target. Removed top screw first. Popped the plastic rim hiding the lower screw using a butter knife and carefully lifting it off at the corners to reveal and reach the bottom screw. I had a hard time initially getting the screws tight given my hand strength using a regular Phillips head screwdriver. The bottom screw also is in a tight space. Then I remembered that my Dad gave me a special kind of screwdriver with multiple heads that you pop on according to size and it ratchets as you turn it to give you more leverage -- and it gets into tight places. Two quick turns and it was done! Like brand new. If I had pulled out the right tool to begin with, I would have finished in less than 2 minutes.

We read the reviews and followed their instructions - boy was it easy. Unscrew the top screw to reuse. Pry the bottom side open with a knife or putty knife - slowly and carefully. You don't need to take the whole plastic piece off jus the corner so you can get to the inside screw. Unscrew - remove old handle - put new handle in place and screw top and bottom. Be sure handle is turned the right way. Sure saved money doing it ourselves. Thanks so much.
