JVM1350SY02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

First I opened the door of the microwave oven and unscrewed the top screw holding the handle to the door. Then I removed the dor gasket which obscured the bottom screw. Then I unscrewed the bottom screw and removed the broken handle. Unfortuantely, this is the second time I have had to replace a broken handle. The handle is quite simply not strong enough to endure normal usage over time. If you pull the handle in a hurry and in an awkward way it will break. Shame on you, GE. Anyway, installation of the new handle was the reverse of the removal of the broken one. Very simple. I saved myself an expensive service call and the delay in getting it replaced, PartSelect got the part I ordered to me in 24 hours! Thank you very much!

I removed one phillips screw on the inside of door. Took a butter knief and popped the strip on the inside of door to expose the 2nd screw. Attached the new handle using the two original screws. Less than 5 min. Piece of cake.

The repair was relatively ease. I have to tell you that what helped me the most was reading the experiences others had had. The repair took me qabout 7 minutes. Simply take a puddy knife and carefully take out the ring around the glass on the indide of the door. Once removed you will see the botoom screw. The upper screw is very visible. Remove the two screws and replace....its that ease.

There was one screw on top that was easily accessable, but the lower one is hidden. I first removed the door seal that goes around the outside of the door but, that didn't expose the screw. On the inside of the door there is a seal just for the glass window. I used a butter knife to open just a section of it and it immediately exposed the screw that I needed to remove.

Did as describe by others who had replaced the handle.
Remove the inside trim (carefully) to get access to screws that we holding the remaining handle pieces.
Attach the handle with the exist screws, replace the trim. Done in about 5 minutes.

I first pulled the bottom left and left side inner 3/8th inch rounded liner out. Use a thin flat head screw driver to gently pry the inner trim piece out of place. This exposed the bottom screw. I pulled out the old 1/2 inch silver coarse thread screw. The top screw is obvious. Removed that. I had to replace the face plate which slid off. Replaced the new face plate then put in the new handle top male end then the bottom male end in the holes. I screwed in the top 1.5 inch browm fine thread screw. Don't over tighten, just go until snug. If you over tighten you may crack the plastic walls of the screw hole built into the handle. I then put the small screw in and tightened it. Then snap the trim piece back in place. Viola.......You are done

removed the interior door seal with thin scraper. Then removed screws. Replaced "new handle" and reverse process. Process is easy but the handle part is ridiculously expensive for what it is!

unscrewed the old handle and screwed the new one on really quick.

Open the microwave door. Remove the exposed screw in the top left hand corner. Using a knife, pop off the plastic moulding that surrounds the glass out to expose the screw in the bottom left hand corner of the door. Remove that screw. (note they are two different types and lengths). Attache the handle and screw in the top screw, then the bottom screw. Re-attache the moulding around the glass. Close the door and reopen with new handle.

I looked at what others ahd said about the repair and just followed their instructions. Just took off the top screw of the handle, used a butter knife to pry off the plastic cover around the inside door and took off the bottom screw of the handle. Put the new handle on and put the screws back and pushed the door frame back in. Very easy to do and took very little time.

Replaced - unscrewed top screw, removed door gasket with spatula, reveiling bottom screw to unscrew. Replaced handle,screw back on and replaced door gasket. Follow instruction on web site. Help greatly

The handle worked great, the only thing was that it didn't come with the screw for the handle and I thought it would. The part description was very vague. So we have the bottom part of the handle super-glued and found a scrap screw that we could use for the top. At least it was better than no handle.

Thanks much,

2 screws off and 2 to put it back on. Not hard at all. Quick and easy.

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
