JVM1340BWC01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

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.

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

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.

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 !!

Removed the control panel, one screw at the top. Removed 2 screws on the door switch holder and removed the door switch. VERY EASY.

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.)

unscrewed the old handle and screwed the new one on really quick.

Replaced - unscrewed top screw, removed door gasket with spatula, reveiling bottom screw to unscrew. Replaced handle,screw back on and replaced door gasket. Follow instruction on web site. Help greatly

Tyring to get bulb out i ruined the light socket. Unscrewed the bottom cover of microware. Took out screw holding light socket, removed wires to socket with pliers, intsalled new socket. It was a piece of cake and the part was a perfect match.

Screwed in new bulb.

Replaced turntable coupler by removing screws from bottom of microwave and reaching through to turntable motor. The screws were a little difficult to get to because of the proximity of the microwave to our oven.

The handle worked great, the only thing was that it didn't come with the screw for the handle and I thought it would. The part description was very vague. So we have the bottom part of the handle super-glued and found a scrap screw that we could use for the top. At least it was better than no handle.

Thanks much,

Replaced the sockets, lens and bulbs. The first time the new bulb was touching the lens and the heat broke the lens and burnt out the bulb. The second time I adjusted the socket so that the bulb does not touch the lens.

Impressed by how quickly the parts arrived after the order was submitted. Two days.

Thank you.

I looked at what others ahd said about the repair and just followed their instructions. Just took off the top screw of the handle, used a butter knife to pry off the plastic cover around the inside door and took off the bottom screw of the handle. Put the new handle on and put the screws back and pushed the door frame back in. Very easy to do and took very little time.

Open the microwave door. Remove the exposed screw in the top left hand corner. Using a knife, pop off the plastic moulding that surrounds the glass out to expose the screw in the bottom left hand corner of the door. Remove that screw. (note they are two different types and lengths). Attache the handle and screw in the top screw, then the bottom screw. Re-attache the moulding around the glass. Close the door and reopen with new handle.
