How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP3669105 / WB07X10475 Grille Sub Ass'y

I was able to make the repair myself. Be certain to understand how it all fits together before taking apart the old one. I took a few phone photos and that helped. The black part should be assembled with the facing piece before mounting on the Microwave unit. I ended up re-attaching the springs when it was in place. I found the that the facing piece was pretty greasy so I did some detailing on that before I put it back. That led to my only problem which was that I scratched the front of the facing piece a bit because I did not protect it from the table. A dish towel underneath would have made a difference. The abrasion scratch is not horrible but is noticeable. One other note is that the screws on top that hold the assembly in place join slightly differently than the original. In the replacement the screws are set into the plastic directly. In the original there were metal clips that the screws fit into. The new one works fine. The original unit is 13 years old, so if the replacement holds that long it will be OK. 

Ordered part from APP, replaced the grille, You need to know that you have to put the complete grille assembly with the vent cover together before you install it, after it is assembled you just have to slide the grille into the slots on the micro and put the (2) screws in at the top. DONE 

Replaced the drive motor on my GE above stove microwave. Took about 7 or 8 minutes. Works great with no noise now. Really a bad design on GE's part. Moisture from boiling anything on the range top is the issue with the motor going bad. It should be sealed some way to prevent this. 

The hubby removed vent and the bar that it all attaches to and replaced new bar ,new springs and assemble back together . The vent cover attaches to this assembly and screwed it back. It works like a charm.

I was able to find parts with helpful videos and parts schematics on the website to ensure ease of understanding the tear down, replacement and reinstall. Ordering the parts and knowing how to approach the fix was a big plus! 

Purchased new grill subassembly and springs, The only tricky part was attaching the springs between the vent door and the grill subassembly. Installation instructions explaining the order of reinstalling could've made it easier. 

Ordered the replacement part, removed the broken assembly and installed the new and improved unit.
