Esperanza F Mooresville , NC March 14, 2015 Scorched film I peeled off the old film, wiped off the screen with a wet rag, there was some food behind the metal screen that I was not able to remove. I would have have to take the door apart to complete this task, but that's another adventure, lol. The last step is peeling off the liner off the film, and aligning the 2 upper corners, this step is very important, once you do this, press the film against the screen and smooth it out. All done. I recommend these people, they are very professional, arrived on time, and well packed.

Shelly S Washington , MI October 13, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Microwave JVM1870BF08 Scorched and melted film on inside of door courtesy of a foiled lined bag and a daughter who doesn't read directions Peeled off the old film (easy!), and placed the new film on. A couple tips: 1) DO NOT touch the grid under the film. There was a small scorched portion of the grid and I rubbed it with my finger. I should have cleaned the area off with rubbing alcohol before applying the new film because at the right angle a fingerprint smudge is visible under the film. 2) Use masking tape to keep the film in place while peeling back the plastic liner. Work slowly, rubbing the film with a soft cloth to get the bubbles out as you go along. It's like putting the protective film on your smart phone, except you can't peel off and move it because it's adhesive.

Jeff R Salem , VA October 10, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave JVM1860SD002 Grinding noise with rotating turntable Replacing the turntable motor to eliminate the grinding noise is an exceptionally easy task. Just remove the screws on the bottom of the microwave, remove the bottom panel, disconnect the light power cable, disconnect the motor power, unscrew and remove the old motor, and then reverse all steps using the new motor in its place. Important things to note: - The bottom panel tilts down, then lifts up on the back edge to pop out of the slots holding it in place. - Make sure you reconnect the light power cable before putting the bottom panel back in place. Incredibly easy, and now the microwave sounds normal again! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
