JVM1320WB01 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

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.

remove cover, unplug secondary door switch (top switch)
remove switch from holder, install new switch, plug in wires, replace cover, very easy. door switches are a common problem
with microwave ovens.

I just undid the 2 screws with Philips screwdriver and replaced handle and reinstalled same screws.

I had to use a pair of needle nose pliers to hold the threaded plastic remnants of the original handle steady, while I used a phillips head screw driver to back each screw out. This process required careful use of the pliers as they would slip, a LOT... But once the orignal pieces were out, the new handle went in perfectly. And just in time to start cooking Thanksgiving dinner!

Used a phillips head screw driver and loosened the lens frame under the microwave. Removed the broken lens and replaced it with the lens ordered. Put the lens frame back in place and secured it with the phillips head screw.

The part arrived very quickly - within three days of my order. It was a little challenging to get the broken handle off - you have to hold the plastic screw inserts with pliers or another screwdriver to prevent the screws from just spinning in place. Once secured from spinning, I was able to remove the two screws that attach the handle to the microwave door. The new part went on easily, but the fit of the new handle was snug and the screws a little difficult to drive. It helps if you push on the handle to keep it tight as you drive the screws. The entire repair was completed within five minutes and the microwave was "back in business". This repair can be easily completed by someone with little mechanical ability.

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.

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

so easy, but how do i turn light off?

Part recieved next day. thanks so much

My son=law did repair because I am elderly and it was necesary to remove the bottom plate of the microwave which I was unable to do. The microwave was installed in 1987 and I believe this was the first time to replace the bulbs. When my son removed them the bulb was diintergrated. That's how old they were. Once he was able to remove the underneath plate the repair was easy except for removing the old bulbs. I think that I could have done it myself but he was available and I am sure it was done much better. All in all the parts)bulbs) were correct and everything is workiin fine. This is a good place to order replacement parts. In fact I am going to order a new charcoal filter. He took the label off the old one and I am ordering the replacement. After all 1987 may have been a good year, but time for a new one. Mary

All one has to do is use a screw driver to remove the screws, one per lens.
Then lower the lens bracket, bend the 4 tabs holding the
lens, remove and replace the lens and screw the brackets back in place.

Less than 10 minuits.

Unscrewed the lens, it hinged down, then I could remove the frame. Pulled old bulb out and replaced with new one. Replaced broken glass in frame. Reset hinge into the holes and swung it up into place. Screwed it in.
