JVM7195DK2CC General Electric Microwave - Instructions

My microwave is built in above the stove which provides lighting and fans for my stove. The glass lens cover for the lighting was cracked in several places and the light bulbs had burned out. I taped the glass lens for removal so it didn't break apart due to the cracks Removed the one screw. .Both light bulbs broke away from the base sockets as I tried to unscrew them. I used electrical tape wrapping in reverse on a lightbulb (socket end) so it was sticky for a grip on the base, shoved it in the sockets and was unable to unscrew the broke off bases. So it was very successful and no repair man was needed.

.Thank You Dan

I first watched a video and that helped a little. So I ordered a new main board and received it in a couple short days. I then took the front of the microwave off and pulled out the main board without disconnecting anything. I then took a picture of the main board with all the wires attached. This is so I could put them back in the correct place. (This was my secret for an easy quick assembly) It is hard to attach a wire in the wrong spot because it won’t fit, however, using your picture as a guide it is so easy , fast, and simple. The only wire needing special attention is the ribbon wire. The retainer to the ribbon wire has a retainer bar and you only need to pinch both ends and pull it up so ever slightly, just enough to remove the ribbon. To install the ribbon on the new main board do the same, pull up the retainer bar so ever slightly and push in the ribbon and then push down on the retainer bar until it clicks in place. If you try to remove the retainer bar it will break. I also recommend taking out the old main board and then use your photo picture to put it back together just for a drill. It will take seconds. Once that works successfully do the same with the new board and that is all to it. Very simple.

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.

I placed the glasstop on the sprocket

Simply removed screw, pulled down light holder, unfoled the metal tabs, took out the broken pieces and replaced the glass lens and light bulb.

Pulled it from the wall remove the front vent covers removed the control panel remove the door switches by a special screw driver bit which looks a star remove the electrical terminals pressed the plastic clip pulled the switch replaced it with new one then followed initial steps backward

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 !!

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 .

Last week I removed the glass cover that was held in by one screw and removed the burnt out light bulb. I ordered the bulb and left the glass cover off until the bulb arrived. I had to wait until this evening to put the glass cover back on and fasten the screw because I have a window right next to the oven and the sun streaming in made it too difficult for me to see how to put the glass back in and replace the screw.

thank you for the video--very clear, responsible, applicable although the illustration was not exactly of our kind of light. the bulb was exactly like the one Hotpoint used in its microwave made in 1989! I will come back to you for parts in the future. (You have the model # from my original order.)

just followed what I saw on my computer from Amazon and the Manual easy to change the filter too

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