JVM2050CH02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

unscrewed the screw, pried up metal tabs that hold in light lens. took out broken pieces, slid in new light lens re-secured tabs with fingers, screwed in the screw again.

This repair was easy and could be done by anyone. If you undertake to do this replacement, remember to slowly bend the medal tabs back that hold the lens. Handled roughly these tabs could break off.

This repair can be don in under 5 minutes, easily !!

remove two screws bend out flaps remove broken glass install new glas bend flaps back to hold glass install two screws. Done.

I took the cabinet off and saw where the switch had been burnt. So I remove it and order another one from your company. And I put new clips on it with heat shrinks. We might get another 30 years out it, Although I'm 80 years old.

I first read the previously posted directions from other customers that were sent with my part order confirmation, which were all very helpful. Then, I basically used a screw driver to unscrew the screw holding the lens cover in place - be careful as it is a very tiny screw and it can easily fall behind your oven. You might want to place a large piece of cardboard over the space between oven and wall, as I did, so that you don't lose the screw in case it falls. Next I pried open the prongs, carefully slid out the cracked lens, and slid the new lens in place, pushed back the prongs and put the screw back in. I found that it was easier to use my fingers to first place and tighten the screw because it is very small and will keep falling out of place if you try to just use the screwdriver. Good luck!

Plenty of youtube videos to search from. Used the plastic trim removing tool to remove the plastic outer trim piece on the interior of the door. Pay attention which side of the trim goes over the door hinges, I image someone could force the trim to be partially reinstalled before they realized it was backwards (won't go over the hinges). Be careful not to force as there are small plastic "teeth" that, with age, become brittle and will snap off (I broke one). Once the trim is removed, I took some time to clean the edges on the door and the trim piece. Use a #2 philips screwdriver to remove the upper and lower door handle screws from the inside of the door. Screws are small and can fall once the outer piece is removed. Line up the new door handle and install the screws. Be careful not to over torque the screws as it felt that they could strip out once the screw begins to bottom out. I tightened the screws till the handle no longer had side to side movement (and no visible gap between the handle base and door surface), then turned an additional 1/4 turn. Install the outer plastic trim, paying attention which side goes over the hinges. Done!!

however, I had hit the cook button and the microwave did not have an item to cook inside. Resulted in shattering the glass tray and meting the plastic lid sitting inside which was fused to the cooking tray. Carefully wrapped up the shattered tray and melted lid in heavy paper, deposited it into the garbage, then happily placed my new E.O.M. glass cooking tray into my G.E. Profile microwave. Thank you .

Removed the control panel, one screw at the top. Removed 2 screws on the door switch holder and removed the door switch. VERY EASY.

removed interior moulding on inside of door. removed 2 phillips screws holding old handle in place. used those 2 screws to secure new handle. reinstalled door moulding.

Removed one screw, installed new lense in lense frame, rescrewed. Done.

remove cover, unplug secondary door switch (top switch)
remove switch from holder, install new switch, plug in wires, replace cover, very easy. door switches are a common problem
with microwave ovens.

Used a phillips head screw driver and loosened the lens frame under the microwave. Removed the broken lens and replaced it with the lens ordered. Put the lens frame back in place and secured it with the phillips head screw.

All one has to do is use a screw driver to remove the screws, one per lens.
Then lower the lens bracket, bend the 4 tabs holding the
lens, remove and replace the lens and screw the brackets back in place.

Less than 10 minuits.

after a couple of misfires, got the correct size tray, and replaced it in the oven.

Removed three screws from the top front cover and slide it out and following I removed the touch panel and the housing that holds the switches and replaced the bad one.
