Pro tip, with this model you can remove the two screws located on the top of the microwave that are visible when mounted. This removes the plastic trim for the vent/fan above the door. The door then just lifts up and off. Very easy to remove and put back on. No need for pushing on any tabs or anything. Much easier.

I just replaced the door on our microwave with this video--it was super super simple (even more so than the model in this video). But thank you!! It is super empowering doing things ourselves and not paying $300 for someone to literally come pop it off in 5 seconds :D
I just purchased a new door and I was about to go crazy because it would not go on. The old one came off after tugging it, and I assume I must have snapped that little tab off because I didn't push it in. Between smashing my finger a few times, 3 kids arguing and trying to get this door on, I came close to calling someone. But then I found this video. Thank you very much for helping me keep my sanity and saving me a few bucks. Now, do you have tips for shutting these kids up? Lol
Haha I feel you. Kids are a blessing, but they definitely hamper productivity
Thanks for the information, it was very helpful. I was foolish enough to replace my first one with the same model. I have lost two magnetrons, a steam sensor and now one broken handle. While my unit looked the same as yours, ours was a bit different. That being said, the handle is now working.... minus a few broken clips!! This is my last GE product, (all though they've been sold) as they are pure junk!!!
My new microwave came with the door off. I watched your video three times and finally got the door on. Thanks for you help
Love it!
This was very helpful. Just fixed the handle on my GE microwave in 15 mins after watching your 2 videos. Thank you.
Awesome! Love to hear it!
Thank you as we have the same 1.6 cu ft GE stainless steel just messed up as it kept tripping the circuit breaker , shutting off and making rumbling sounds so we replaced it with the same model but black and was cheaper. I feel that the new one's door seemed lighter so fearing it may break in the future I opted to remove the door of the old one and store it just in case. Thanks to your video it was fairly easy using a flat head screwdriver. 👍👍
Thanks! I was able to swap out the door from a bad microwave at my rental property and replace the door at my house which had a bad handle.
My model was a little different- the tab had to be pulled out instead of pushed in. A little screwdriver pried it out easy.
Appreciate the video bud. And the drywall screw tip from the other video😂. Got my handle all fixed up now. Cheers
Haha that's great!
Thanks alot this video help me with a work order just right now and it was the exact same microwave. Subscribed 👍
My latch just broke off thanks for posting
Yes, it did.Thank you now.I've got to find how to take off the face on the right side
Thanks for the video, but cannot put the upper bin back to get the door back. Having very hard time with this
Thanks! This was very helpful
Hi thanks for the tip...i'm replacing the door frame...how do I insert the glass back?
Thanks for the help
OMG. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
thanks man, was going to replace the whole microwave 😂
Boom! Love it when you don't have to pitch a perfectly good microwave 😁
By turning the background light off during the filming will give the video more clarity. Thanks
Thanks for the lesson 👍
Thanks brother 👍🏼
Thank you!
Thank you for showing how to get the door out. Our microwave door is sagging. The hinges are loose. Any tips on how to fix it?
Do any of the supports and hinges feel loose?
@@UnconventionalThinker yes sir they do. The door won’t close fully because of it. I have to hold it in place otherwise the circuit will trip. I checked the switches. They are working
@@abhuram1 are you able to see how they're attached. I'm guessing it may require further disassembly of the microwave
This video was helpful
It was harder to put back than needed. I ended up just cutting/twisting the "safety tab" and it went right back in.
How to clean the interior window/glass ge microwave?
We have a microware just like this - the film on the door has peeled loose - around a square inch at the middle of the bottom of the door. Is that a health risk? Should we replace the door? or just the film?
Thank you for the video, can you draw a little diagram of the location of that top tab, and how to rotate it to take the door out?
If you send me an email I can. My email is in my channel description
Hi. Thanks for the awesome video. Is it possible to remove and change the plastic protector on the microwave door. Mine got melted after niece mistakenly placing aluminum foil in the microwave. Thank you.
It is possible, but the issue is GE doesn't tend to sell the part by itself. They tend to sell the entire door
I have a ge microwave similar to this one, the door closes on us fast. Door doesn't stay open. Any advise. Thank you.
Does the door look like it's sitting on the hinges properly?
Oh fuck me that was so easy. Thanks for the jump start with the video man door just came right off
ok so now that the ge microwave door is out and you need to to replace the door handle and or endcaps that break, how do you remove the plastic trim around the the inside of the door without breaking it. My microwave is exactly like yours in this video.
I have another video on my channel where I replace the door handle
Unfortunately maintenance at my apartment complex is garbage. My girlfriend and I have been threatened by the lead tech , who still has his job, twice. So, I handle most repairs in our home. I have the same model. Pushing the black tab to clear the white hinge did not help. The top pin is not clearing the hole in the hinge either. Any suggestions, anyone.
We’ve been here for 2 years. I’ve changed air filters, refrigerators filters, repaired leaky ac, replaced broken sink strainer, unclogged shower drain and dishwasher.
@ravenboykin6575 is there trim on the door hitting your cabinets as you lift it up?
Hey it helps that you put this video up but you took a long time to get to it and also can barely hear you next time put the phone closer to you or speak up a lot louder or redo the video
Hi how do you know it’s not a key door issue and it is the actual door being loose
My handle completely tore off is how I knew
How about the handle? Is there anyway the handle can be replaced on the door?
Yes, I discuss it in another video on my channel.
Thanks for the video...I was able to remove the plastic tab, the metal grate, then unscrew the handle screws. Then the door came off, everything was put back together. All I have to do is put the door back on the two pins....and I can't...any suggestions to make it click in????
There was one individual who mentioned removing the vent on the top and it made the door removal "easier". It can be finicky
Omg I just broke mines I need help to repair it 😫 I don't know where the silver pin part went but it still latches but when I open the door it completely comes off
I have another video that shows a quick repair. It's on my channel
Thanks for the door instruction too bad you have not done one on removing the glass and replacing the handle small screw holder assembly. That is a more difficult project so instruction would have been helpful.
I do have a video on that. It's on my channel
Would you be so kind as to cut and paste the link for me. I’m a senior and my brain sometimes gets overwhelmed with such things as finding things. So appreciate your efforts Richard

Thanks that should help a bunch. Appreciate your video instruction.
I was fun seeing your wife and hearing your child as an aside. It would have been a touch of class for your wife to come to you as you were working and say, “here’s a cup of coffee sweetheart you’re such an amazing husband for fixing things around the house.” Lol 😂
@@littlebearwheeler lol thank you. She is that sweet to me though.
What if the outer glass needs replaced
I have another video where I replace the handle, you would have access to the glass by opening it up from the back.
No, I don’t know.
Turn up you volume
Well done but, you need a tripod for camera, I can’t see shit.
Wasn't able to hear him even with my volume on max.
Do these good people ever think to review their videos to do a sound check?
Sorry boss, freaking mic is inconsistent on my phone
I got it to latch back on now but when I close it the light still on
