SCA1001DSS03 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

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 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!

I removed the plastic perimeter molding from inside of door.You can carefully pry it loose with a narrow putty knife. the door handle screws are located directly behind were the handle attached to the outside of the door. I found that a #2 phillip head screwdriver tip with a large handle for good torque and grip works best however the old plastic post inside the face of the door were turning along with the screws from the opposite side. I used a needle nose plyers to hold onto the plastic barrels in the outside of the door while turning the phillips head screwdriver on the inside at the same time. I found this to be somewhat difficult.You must achieve a good bite with the pliers!

I'm writing because I have never in my life had such an easy time finding a part, ordering it, and receiving it! Your service is truly unbelievable. I still don't believe it and I experienced it. Nothing went wrong and it could not have been easier. Please don't go away.

Placed the new tray in the microwave.

Opened the lid over the bulb by removing one screw. Removed old bulb; a bayonet type with delicate prongs. Inserted new bulb. Best to turn off circuit breaker toi the micro for safety reasons.

opened the access door. It took some tugging to get the old bulb out, and is was awkward getting the prongs on the replacement bulb lined up and pushed in, but it was accomplished in about 10 minutes. You had exactly the right information on a change in the part number that was made by GE, and you shipped the correct bulb the same day I ordered it.Good job. N R Brown

This is the tray the glass cooking tray rest on and rotates the glass during cooking. The metal tray was installed upside down. The rotating glass tray was not properly installed. The oven was at a very high temp. and the weight of the utensil on the glass was not supported correctly. Result, big " pop " and broken glass tray. Note this is the second glass repaced. The first one dropped while removing it from the oven. It stuck to the bottom of the cooking dish and then fell to the floor. Pop, big breakage. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes.

Quick and easy repair. I also want to comment on the very helpful telephone assistance from your customer service rep and the very fast shipping. You are a wonderful Company to do business with

Took item from sealed box and removed protective bubble wrap. Placed tray in microwave, aligning tray with turntable sprockets. Perfect fit, perfect match! And the part arrived in three days and was very competitively priced. What more is there to stay? Will use PartSelect for other replacement parts. No brainer!

bought a fuse but that didn't solve the problem. Guess I need a new microwave

Removed the door, removed the old choke cover (breaking all the stap catches), removed the slide door latch assembly from the spring (the most difficult task) then reassembly of the latch to spring, sliding into the grooves along the inside of the door, the installing the new choke cover (very easy with the new one) taking care not the break any of the staps. Easy enough! Another difficult task was to re-install the door to the frame. It appears that the lower "hinge" is slightly bent down to allow easy install but the door now makes a slight sweeking sound when opening and closing.

I held the door open while the repair man took the black facing off and replaced the latch and reinstalled the facing I was worn out
