Ge WB02X11550 Charcoal Filter OEM Part

Ordered the charcoal filter Lowe's told me to order. It was the wrong one and arrived damaged anyway. The AppliancePartsPros person I talked to gave me a credit for the wrong filter and sent me the right filter. It arrived in one day, plus it was almost $30 cheaper than the one Lowe's told me I needed. I couldn't be more pleased with the service and prices at AppliancePartsPros. Thank you.

I ordered the part and installed it.

Replaced bulb. One note is that I read that sometimes people reported that the bulb had been attached to the socket with a bit of glue by the manufacturer, causing the bulb glass to break away from the base when turning it to remove. I found no glue on my GE microwave surface light bulb and the bulb unscrewed easily as you might expect. No problem.

By taking the old filter out and putting the new one in. (Not 100% easy, but that's the fault of the microwave design rather than the filter.)

I removed one screw from the vent cover on front top of the microwave and removed the cover. This is necessary in order to replace the door. I then lifted the door off of the hinges and then reversed the process. I opted to replace the entire door because it was cheaper than replacing the handle, plus it took less time.
