JVM1350SY02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

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

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.

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!

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 !

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!

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

Found blowup drawings inside unit, which helped identify what I had to remove. Had neighbor assist in lifting unit from wall mount, unit slides easily from rails once top bolts are removed. Pay attention to where all the screws go as you remove them, some inside assemblies will have to be removed or loosened. A good guideline to go by is all black screws hold internal assemblies, the bronze screws go in the back side and the chrome screws go on top, sides, and front of the unit. I was able to lift unit back on rails without any assistance.

Had to take the MW off the wall, remove the cover, and find the magnetron. Issue was the HV-capacitor. Had to remove the diode and capacitor to discharge the capacitor safely. Crackle-Bang! Then put it back before toying with the HV-transformer in order to get the magnetron out. Took a little under two hours to get it back on the wall and a lot of cajones when monkeying around the chassis removing the capacitor. Not a job for most everyone as this was a potentially high-shock repair due to the voltage and micro-farads held in that capacitor. Hardest part was getting the magnetron to drop out past the HV-transformer. Also, the thermostat had to be removed from the magnetron and re attached to the new one. Fiddly delicate job, not for the clumsy or faint of heart.

remove screws discard old handle install new handle

Used a Philips screwdriver to remove the two screws from the broken handle, and installed the new handle.

Removed the retaining ring with a small putty knife, then removed the screws holding the broken handle attachment posts. Placed the new handle in the correct attitude and secured with the screws, replaced the retaining ring and viola done. Less than 10 minutes. The repair facility that we contacted wanted more than $202.00, most of which was labor, what a ripoff........

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.
