James M Sacramento , CA July 27, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave JVM1870BF04 Bottom part of handle broke on ge spacemaker xl 1800 microwave Monday morning handle broke. Monday afternoon, ordered new handle from AppliancePartsPros.com. Tuesday, late morning, received new handle. (amazing, I had a new handle in my hands in less than 24 hours, standard shipping.) Watched U-Tube video on how to replace handle, 2 minutes. Used putty knife to remove gasket from inside door exposing screws to broken handle. Removed broken handle and replaced with new handle. Replaced gasket that snapped into place. Total time, maybe 10 minutes. I wish the rest of the day would be that easy!

Nicholas F Muscatine , IA July 19, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave JVM1870BF001 The microwave door handle had broken at the bottom Step 1: Input the model number into the parts lookup at AppliancePartsPros.com. Order parts. Step 2: Go to YouTube.com and find the Appliance Parts Pros channel, search for "microwave door handle," and review the video while wife and daughter are out so I can look like I know what I'm doing later when the part arrives and the ladies are around to see me in action. Step 3: With a putty knife and a Phillips screwdriver, perform the repair as demonstrated by Matt in the YouTube video. Step 4: Inform my wife that the door handle is fixed within 7 minutes of bringing in the mail on the day the new door handle arrived. Step 5: Bask in the adoration of my wife and daughter, which they lovingly shower upon me for being such a handy guy who fixes our stuff instead of wasting our household budget on new stuff every time something breaks, acts funny, or causes them to think it might be wearing out.

James M Sacramento , CA August 18, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Free Standing Microwave JVM1870BF04 The bottom of the handle on my microwave broke I watched a couple of videos on line for how to replace the handle on my GE Profile Spacemaker XL1800. I used a putty knife to pry off the inside frame, removed the screws from the old handle and replaced the old handle with the new one. I would like to point out that from the time I ordered the handle from Appliance Parts Pros until the actual installation was slightly less than 24 hours. Of course it probably helps to be in the same state. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
