JVM1440BD001 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

I removed the broken grille (no screws needed to be removed because the housing for the screws on the grille were broken).
After removing the broken grille, I then snapped the new grille in place and tightened the two screws.
So easy even a cave man could do it.

Removed one screw, slid frame out and removed broken glass. replaced bulb. The hard part was slidding the frame back in place and starting the screw. We were very surprised at the fast delivery of the parts, thank you. The sad part, a few days later the glass broke again. We are trying to get to the people at GE to solve our problem. We feel like that will not happen, we just do not have the time to stay on hold on the phone waiting for someone to solve our problem. Will reorder glass.

Remove top air grate via 2-screws. Remove metal top panel behind grate that's above bulb via 1-screw. Bulb is exposed and can be un-screwed. DONE

It took less then 10 minutes to order. Received new part with 3 days

Removed bottom cover of microwave, involved removing 7 screws, removed turntable motor, involved disconnecting wire harness plug, and 2 screws, connnected wiring to new motor and reinstalled with original hardware

Handed the part to my son. He unscrewed 5 screws in the base of the microwave, it dropped down. The light mechanism was clearly in view. With the exception of some corrosion on the old piece, it was simple to remove and replace, put back together, screw back up and all worked fine.

I removed 4 screw from the under carriage of the microwave then, removed the 2 screws from the motor, replaced the motor and replaced the screws. It was so easy it took only 4 minutes to perform, better than replacing the whole unit (microwave) and less expensive too. i only wish it was made in the US, I wouldn't mind to spend a little more.

1. Pried off the choke on rear of door to expose screws to door handle. 2. Using Phillips-head screw drive, removed the two scews to door handle. 3. Removed cracked frame from door - a bit difficult because frame is held in place by plastic tabs. 4. Removed door latch assembly from cracked frame and installed on new frame. 5. Refitted door handle to new frame. 6. Snapped new frame in place - again, somewhat difficult because of plastic tabs. 7. Replaced choke to rear of door - be careful because exact positioning of the choke is required and misalignment might crack the choke. 8. Enjoy saving over $100 in labor.

removed electrical wires, unscrewed holder, inserted holder, attached wires, added bulb, and put cover back on.

First I replaced the cracked cooking tray and I was done.

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

Removed screws and old parts. Fitted new part to door and put screws back in.

Phillips screws on bottom panel allowed me to install new socket and put electric connection back. Secured bottom panel and that was it.

Placed the screws in the proper areas, used the screw driver to tighten down and I was in business with light to spare. I am happy to have found the proper screws.
Thank you.

First I figured out how to take the door apart to remove two hidden screws, once that was done it was easy to install the new part. The part came extremely fast and worked well. The picture with each part labeled helped too!
