JVM1630BJ02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

after ordering handle-R, I needed handle-L also, not knowing the handle was two pieces. hardest part was putting the two pieces of handle together.

Microwave had to be dropped down about 3 inches from the mount,two upper screws removed replaced old vent with new and replaced screws but didn't make them too tight.

open box and installed

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

Removed cover, diagnosed problem, ordered part from Parts Select, received part in 2 days, replaced part, tested and replaced oven into built in space.

When the part arrived I took it from the mailing container. I looked at the door and made sure the part wasn't damaged and looked at the broken one to be repaired to get an idea of how I'd approach the repair . I realized that I'd need something to lift the door from the holding pin. I got a flathead screwdriver and put a little pressure on the door near the bottom hinge. As I put pressure on the white hinge and the door the pin slid back off the white support. I did the same on the top, to remove the door completely. Needless to say, putting the new door on was easier than taking it off. You can do this without a headache.

It was REALLY EASY finding the right parts using your diagrams..Thanks for your HELP!!I will definitely be back.Dan H

working changed out the motor that arrived within 2days. Great Service and thank you so much.Brian Kerry

FIRST OFF I'd Like to say. I phoned my cities Appliance Repair Specialist. He didn't return my call. I rephoned and got him. Told him I need the Door frame. He said GE would make me buy the entire door so just by a new Microwave from him. I went online and this was the first sight I found. Typed in my Make and model number and up popped a scematic. I hit on Door and there it was all layed out in pieces. I hit the front door frame and BOOM Payed for it and two days later it was here. BRAVO to you folks. Since most of the front trim frame had fallen off I just had to pull a little around the outer edges to get the rest of it off. I noticed when I ordered the New Part from you that the front door handle was held on by two screws from the backside of the door. When I looked and couldn't see them I knew they had to be under the inner plastic frame work on the backside of the door. SO I kind of pulled on it at various places around it's edges and it started to pop OFF and I worked it off. Removed the screws and handle that held that last part of the front trim frame. Snapped in the new one. Reinstalled the door handle and snapped the rear door panel back on and it was DONE!!!

Open vent, removed old filter, inserted new filter.

I went on line, put in microwave repair and watched a video on repair. I then took the oven down from over the range and took it apart. I could see were the magnetron had burned out. There was a hole with obvious burn marks. I went on line looking for the needed part. I clicked on PartSelect and order the magnetron. I received the part within three days, regular shipping. As I had not put the oven back together it took only a few moments to save 150 to 200+ dollars. I put it back together and happy, happy me, it worked.

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.

The toughest part was to fit the glass into the new door frame. It had to snug into the allotted space on all four sides. The plastic frame edging the door was relatively easy to take off and re-assemble. Precision was the key.

Was not aware that the microwave had to be lowered to get at the two screws on top that hold in the grill.Fortunately,I had easy access to the long mounting screws on top and was able to let the unit hang down while the grill screws were removed and the new grill was installed.

First unplugged the microwave, took top grill off, took control panel off, took wires off and used color coded tape to make sure they went back in right places, took fuse out and replaced it and put every thing back and it all worked fine and to top it off my wife did it all. So it was pretty easy.
