    Curious. Why don't you demonstrate the removal (and subsequent reassembly) of the door from the microwave. You demonstrate every other removal procedure but this very important one.

    Is there a way to remove and replace the outer front plexiglass of the microwave door? My GE microwave, model JES2051SN3SS, has a cracked front outer clear plexiglass panel.

    Replacing the handle: I have a GE microwave, model #JVM6175SK1SS. On the handle, the top connection to the door broke. I ordered the replacement handle. Following the instructions in this video I was able to remove the inner trim and get to the handle mounting screws; took the old handle off, no problem. However, when I tried to put the new handle on, It was next to impossible to tighten the two screws enough to pull the handle ends flush on the outer door. I was afraid I was going to mess up the phillip's heads on the screws by continued attempts to tighten. I took the new handle back off and tried to deeply tighten the screws with it unattached to the door, impossible. I ended up using 3 small washers on each screw to gain a snug/flush fit. And yes, the (pricey) replacement handle was a genuine GE part.

      Did you ever find out how? I was cleaning my oven and stood up hitting my head hard on the microwave door while it was open and I’m pretty sure I just broke the hinge.

    With everybody (almost) having a phone camera, I suggest taking a photo of all wires - or assemblies - before disconnecting
    This way you'll have reference to how IT SHOULD BE RE-ASSEMBLED !

    Thanks for the tip about sliding the top fascia to the left to release it, that was giving me fits. It allowed me to change the interior light which is the same G8 40W bulb as the underneath. Speaking of which it would have been nice to show that around the spot where you replaced the filter being that it is right underneath it. The bulb itself is readily available at Lowe's or Home Depot, but my appliance retailer wanted $18 for it.

    Hi, I have a countertop model. It is not screwed into a cabinet. I removed all the obvious screws and yet something is still holding on to the cover. All (as in *every last one*) shows built-in installations and how to unmount the microwave. I just want to take the darn cover off. Do I push harder or is there something I still have to undo?

    I got GE profile over the range microwave, I want to replace the bulbs that are at the bottom and provide lighting on the stovetop. It says 120v 40w for incandescent or 120v 20w for halogen. Is there a bulb number or model or those info are good enough? (looking for 5000k bulbs as I like those white lights)

    The Painters accidentally pulled too hard on my GE Mongram Microwave Control panel and the whole thing pulled off! It looks like it's held on by double faced tape. My concern is the big square button... Will that fly apart if I remove the control panel from the front? It looks like it's held on by a couple of tabs at the bottom plus the tape and would lift up and off but I'm concerned if I remove it, I wont be able to get it back on without taking the whole thing apart. Can you tell me if the Control panels with the built in big square buttons can be removed and replaced from the front of the unit?

    BWAHAHA! I FINALLY took out one of the leads on the cursed beeper/speaker! NO MORE BEEPING! Especially every minute after it finishes warming my food! Oh man, I suffered for years, and it only took 20 minutes, including looking at videos on UA-cam. THANK YOU! (I just needed this video to see how to get to the control panel).

      Simply unplug unit gently pry out fuse and replace with same rating...mine was 20amp which is the same as the circuit breaker btw ...just blows faster than breaker would open I guess ...but WHAT caused it to blow? See unless you can explain that? Something is still wrong ..I suppose there is an outside possibility it had a junk fuse but otherwise something is probably about to fail...like magnetron tube etc ...is a microwave even worth repairing? Typically not so much ....GE apparently has a really bad reputation...at one repair parts site a gentleman said NEVER replace with a GE ....do your due diligence and find a great reliable brand. At our last house we had a Sharp Carousel that we just abused and used every day for like 20 years ...our kids live in that house and it is still works like new ....this GE? 2 years old ...pathetic

    Does know how to remove the metal frame inside the lining of the door? The metal frame of the my microwave is in the way of the handle screws, so it looks like I have to disassemble the entire door to get at those screws. Unlike in the video. Any help appreciated, thanks. My microwave is JVM3160DF3BB, Serial HG221413A.

  • @RizzoSol
    @RizzoSol 10 років тому

    My GE microwave didn't come with a plastic linner on the inside of the door. Ths causes splatter to get through the metal screen on the inside and onto the glass. There is no way to get in there and clean that so it always looks dirty. Returning it isn't an option. What do you think I should do? I was thinking of replacing the door.

    • @repairclinic

    My Kenmore Microwave stopped working I order a fuse to replace it but the microwave have a specific type of screws that doesn't fit a Phillip or a flat. I contacted The seller but in order to fix my microwave I have to have it repaired by a repair services just to take off the panels a $75 fees. I tried to order the specific screw driver but it not sold in store. I'm sure I can purchased another microwave less than $75

    • @dougiequick1
      @dougiequick1 6 років тому

      You can buy those driver bits at any hardware store ...take a good picture of the head and go get what you need ...better and/or paint screw head with sharpie and immediately press paper on head with finger for impression and size of screw socket ...UNPLUG MW before opening panels! BTW the internal star point screws there are several sizes ...good to just by the whole set ...amazing how many things have those! TORX head screws is their offical name
