James M Watertown , CT January 09, 2016 My door handle broke for the second time!!! The top screw is easy to get at after the door yoke is removed. The lower is behind the plate that holds the glass and door together. I removed the door very simple just lift up in the full open position .lay the door on a towel and drill a 1/4 inch hole over the head of the screw and you now can remove the screw with out disassembling the door. Something the factory should have done! Also if your door is sagging it will put stress on the handle. use a adjustable wrench and twist the hinges to get the door lined up .Mine was the lower bent the hinge down and it lined back up and opens very easy.

Sandra W Lake Jackson , TX June 05, 2016 Appliance: Model GE JVM1490SD003 The door handle broke on our ge microwave/convection oven model #jvm1490sd003 It was very hard to get the broken handle off. We were going to pay a technician because we could not figure out how to get the door plates off it get to the handle. It took my husband and myself an hour and only because of the questions and answers and the video on your website were we able to replace the handle ourselves. You have to remove the outer and plate using putty knives. Then remove the six screws on the inner plate and very carefully force this plate off to get to the bottom screw. It was time consuming and hard to hold the door in place as it's an overhead micro/convection oven. We saved about $150.00 using Appliance Parts Pros.
