JVM1350SY02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

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.

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.
