RVM225WLC01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

First I removed the two screws that held the handle on. Then I laid the handle down in the way it was on the microwave to be sure I didn't put the new handle on up side down. It appeared only one way to put the handle on. The screws were a little difficult to screw in all the way. First time doing something like this and I was afraid I'd break the new handle. So I had my son to help. No problem once the handle was attached properly. Thank you so much for the quick delivery. The handle works perfectly now.

Had to use a hammer and small screwdriver to remove some of the old plastic. If I had a small drill that would have worked better. Once I got that off is was easy to unscrew the old screws and replace the handle. It fit perfectly.

took out several screws dropped down the panel under the microwave and unscrewed the bulb and put the new one in. It was a simple job.

Just unscrewed the screw holding the lens, unscrewed the bulb and put the new bulb in. Simple

Piece of cake. removed old handle by taking out the 2 screws that hold it on, and then put new handle in place and tightened same 2 screws just snug to hold it in place.

Screwed new one in...very impressed with delivery. Part came the next day!

Thanks!

changed the bulb

Used a Philips screw driver and removed the broken handle.Installed new handle using existing screws.

so easy, but how do i turn light off?

Part recieved next day. thanks so much

With many thanks to those who posted their experience and advice replacing the bulb, I was able to remove 5 of the 6 screws holding the underside panel and remove the socket which contained the broken off base of the bulb and extract it with needle-nose pliers. I had broken off the glass portion of the bulb trying to unscrew it due to the awkward contortion of my wrist-hand-fingers trying to grip the bulb inside the tight recess the bulb is mounted in. After concluding that I needed more information, I did a web search for 'Hotpoint RVM1435' and found helpful advice at partselect.com telling me to drop the bottom panel. Good call! Thanks everyone!

Still did not receive any screws with new handle therefore cannot install new handle.

I asked a handyman at the local fitness center about repairing it and he refered me to your website where I found an exploaded drawing showing the parts I needed and how to get to them. It was great and very easy.

First I removed the two screws that held the hand off. Cleaned up the area and screwed the new handle on! So easy.

PartsSelect is a great company! The handle was a breeze to replace. First the 2 screws were removed and the old handle discarded. The new handle was held in place as two new screws were inserted.Completed in less than 15 minutes!

Opened a beer. Removed the old handle. opened the next beer. Installed the new handle which was a perfect match. opened another beer. Sat down to rest.
The part was very easy to locate and order and even easier to replace. Although the beer part was not essential it certainly had it's benefits.

Many thanks for your great resource!!!
