Helmut A Seminole , FL May 30, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave JVM1490WD003 Ge Microwave Jvm1490wd003: Ge microwave door handle broke off. How to replace Microwave Door Handle. Ordered the handle from AppliancePartsPros and it arrived a day earlier than estimated. Removed the door by removing the top grille then opening 90 degrees and just lifted off the hinges. Gently pried the metal bezel out with a butter knife and had access to one of the door handle screws. Had to remove the glass mounting assembly held in place by 6 screws and 8 of those damn plastic tab locks. Needed help from another person dealing with the tabs since they held the glass mount so tightly. Then it was simply replacing the handle, giving everything a good cleaning and reassembling.
