James M Sacramento , CA August 18, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave JVM1870BF04 Ge Microwave Jvm1870bf04: The bottom of the handle on my microwave broke. How to replace Handle. I watched a couple of videos on line for how to replace the handle on my GE Profile Spacemaker XL1800. I used a putty knife to pry off the inside frame, removed the screws from the old handle and replaced the old handle with the new one. I would like to point out that from the time I ordered the handle from Appliance Parts Pros until the actual installation was slightly less than 24 hours. Of course it probably helps to be in the same state. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
