JVM1330WWC02 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

There were only two screws holding the door handle in place. The first is obvious but the second requires that you snap off the plastic window cover on the door. I only took it partially off using a butter knife to lift it. It snaps out easily.
Take out both screws which removes all parts of the old handle. Then just put in the new handle and use old screws to secure it in place. Except for removing the plastic cover, this was absolutely trivial.
$60 seems expensive for a plastic door handle, but it is cheaper than a new unit.

I read some of the previous blogs on same problem. Followed same steps others took before me and I was done in 5 minutes! Opened the microwave door. Removed the top screw that was visible and then removed the ring around inside door frame by using a simple butter knife to get it going carefully. Removed the hidden screw on bottom of door . Replaced Handle, screwed in top and bottom , attached plastic seal around door by snapping it back in place. Done

First I removed the top screw which is visible when you open the door. Other screw is hidded under the plastic lining (don't know exact part name). I removed the lining with knitchen knife and unscrew the other screw also. And put the new handle in place.

Just as those before me have described, it was very simple. Just open the microwave oven door, gently pry off the plastic ring (note: don't try to operate microwave without ring in place as it will not work), remove the existing screws, replace with new handle, screws, and finally ring which snaps back into place. The most troubling part of the repair, was the cost of the handle. At $60 plus international banking fees, they really have you over a barrell. But I suppose better than the cost of a replacement microwave.

Thankfully I read someone else's report. I remove the top screw with ease and then pried off the cover surronding the glass panel enough to get access to the lower screw and removed it. Then I just screwed the screws back into the new handle and snapped the plastic covering back in place and "Bob's your uncle"

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

Piece of cake. Removed plastic band on door to expose second screw. Loosened screws and attached new handle per comments on your website

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 !!

Remove upper handle screw. This is accessible on the inside surface of the door.

Remove inside trim piece that surrounds door glass. It prys off easily.

With trim off, lower screw is accessible. Remove lower screw.

Align new door handle with holes in door and replace screws.

Replace inside door trim (just snaps in place).

1 - Open the microwave door and locate the plastic gasket that goes all around the inside of the door (just around the glass)
2 - Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the plastic gasket. This will expose the bottom screw.
3 - Remove the top and bottom screws of the handle
4 - Attach the new handle and put the plastic gasket back in place
5 - Enjoy the rest of your day!

The repair is simple. There was only one screw remaining to hold the handle and the screw is visible from the inside of the door. The second screw can be accessed by removing a piece of trim that goes around the inside of the glass. Remove that trim by carefully twisting the trim and sliding a thin knife into the inner edge. Once you see the first of the small clips the rest is easy.

Only complaint is that the microwave is only 10 years old and the part has two small extrusions for the screw. The price of the replacement is excessively high for what it is.

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

Replaced glass in frame and replaced lights

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.

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.
