JNM7196BL1TS General Electric Range - Instructions

I used the internet and your directions to complete the repair. It was easy!

I took the cover off, and replaced the glass-- the difficult part, was ordering the glass..on the list of parts to order-- the description of the glass was mis-leading

If confused just go to YouTube. They can show you how to fix anything. Very simple replacement for both charcoal and regular filter. A snap.

I took the cabinet off and saw where the switch had been burnt. So I remove it and order another one from your company. And I put new clips on it with heat shrinks. We might get another 30 years out it, Although I'm 80 years old.

Removed the outer cover to access the door switches. Turns out there were three switches, but I determined that only two were bad. When the small colored tab on the switch is pushed in it should make a clicking sound. The two bad switches had no resistance and did not make any noise when pressed. Removing the switch is relatively easy, you simply pull it away from a couple small tabs holding them in place. After reconnecting the wire leads, insert back into the holding tabs and install the cover.

Followed the online videos to enter the cavity to the switch holder. Noticed right away the dreaded capacitor was in back right corner behind where the touch pad had been removed. I isolated the capacitor with an old computer mouse pad for extra safety. Took some manipulations to get the switch mount out from behind the wire bundles. Once out front, easy to use small flat blade screwdriver to release each switch and replace with matching new switch. Only one switch was bad but replaced all three. Back together and working great.

Unscrewed bottom panel, then unscrewed light socket, then replaced with new socket and bulb. Reattached socket and panel.

Two screws to remove upper from vent. Two screws to remove the didgit panel lift ip to remove and put aside remove the two screws that hold the door sensors. Depress the tab to remove the defective sensor disconnect the electrical connector and replace the new sensor snap it back into the holder install the two screws, install the didgital panel and vent panel to complete the job. Please be aware that there is a video of this procedure on Y tube

Had to take to a local glass shop for sizing and to remove sharp edges. Will never order again.

The halogen light bulb took a little skill. The prongs were a little difficult to maneuver into place.

Odered replacement

.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.

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.

ordered 2 new sockets and bulbs easy replacement great service from this site
