Ge WB07X10475 Grille Sub Ass'y OEM Part

It was simple to replace. I removed the two springs from the sub ass'y, then removed the two screws from the top of the microwave holding the sub ass'y in place. I then slid the assembly to the left about 1/2" and pulled straight out completing its removal. I then removed the three screws holding the metal hinges to the sub ass'y. To reassemble I just reversed the proces. Total time for removal and reassembly was about 15minutes.

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

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.

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.
