Robert H Melbourne , FL April 02, 2018 Appliance: Model JVM3160DF2WW Broken door handle on GE microwave oven After reading other folk's comments on making this repair, I got a good general idea of how to do this repair. Just go slow, take your time. Easier to do this job if door is just removed off the hinge pins.Be very careful with plastic trim frame on inside of door..fragile. I used a penknife to get it started.

Melody S New Port Richey , FL August 12, 2022 Appliance: General Electric Microwave Hood Combo JVM3160DF4WW The support that holds the handle onto to microwave cracked and broke. I ordered the support. Once we removed the old one, we noticed that the top support was also cracked and so we decided to replace that one as well before it broke off completely. Using a putty knife, I removed the black liner around the inside of the door that exposed the microwave inside the glass. I used a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 4 screws that held the inside glass to the outer door. This exposed the 2 screws that held the handle onto the door. I removed the screws, replaced the supports with the new ones, and re-screwed the handle onto the outer door. I replaced the inner door and secured it with 4 screws. The final step was to snap the black liner back around the glass door. Watching the video helped tremendously and was pretty much what we had to do. I did have a little challenge getting the door back into the hinges.
