Michelle D Peyton , CO October 08, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Microwave PVM1870SM3SS The vent grill assembly was broken I ordered the part from the diagram. Item arrived quickly, unfortunately it was damaged. I called APP and spoke with a nice young lady that offered to send me a replacement out right away. New part arrived a couple of days later and was in great shape! I have ordered from APP in the past and will continue to go to them whenever I need an appliance part.

Gregory G Irving , TX August 21, 2016 Appliance: Model GEPVM1870SM3SS Halogen bulbs both lighting stovetop and microwave interior had burned out and could not insert replacements also vent grill damaged Dropped unit about six inches by support bolts (cabinet access) and replaced socket light assembly, replaced stovetop bulbs, replaced motorized vent grill. Replaced interior light bulb. I think it defies common sense but you have to drop the unit from its moorings to replace the interior bulb. Owner's manual says it is a two-man job, which compounds this engineering debacle. Actually you can lower it rather than completely deinstall. I had also not been able to replace the stovetop bulbs, which are accessible (with difficulty) by removing the lens from below so I checked the light assembly sockets, which had obviously been damaged during first install. After replacing assembly bulbs seated easily. The halogen bulbs must be seated with care so as not to damage the assembly socket. Actually quite easy when taken one step at a time.

Tom A Hampden , MA February 25, 2017 Appliance: Model MICROWAVE 1870 (GE) The hinge for the vent on the microwave broke away from the plastic I removed the old vent (two screws). Looked at the new vent piece to examine how it clipped in. Tabs along the bottom had broken on the old one so it required sliding the unit in to get the tabs to engage. However the screw slipped on the top move as you slide it in and as one should have expected, one fell down into no man's land. Fastened the top with larger screws and all is well. Read More...
