Microwave won't start or keeps running with door open? This door latch and switch assembly restores safe operation. Moderate DIY repair (1-2 hours).

So I ordered the part from AppliancePartPros and it arrived on Tuesday, 2 business days after I ordered it, which was just as expected. I had also done some research regarding how to replace the latch body assembly and, although I couldn't find... Read more

Holds the light bulb securely in your microwave for proper interior illumination. Replace if bulb won't stay in place, socket is burned or cracked.
I recently tackled a repair on my GE microwave (model JVM1440BD003, manufactured in 2003) to replace the light bulb sockets for the under-microwave lights. Since one socket was failing, I decided to replace both at the same time to avoid future issues. I used two WB08X10016 light sockets, which are the correct OEM parts for this model. The process started off smoothly thanks to a helpful installation video on the website. It made the job look straightforward: remove five screws to drop the... Read more

Well, I gotta say I was happy to find you still had parts for almost 20 year old microwaves. The microwave itself worked fine, so I hated to have to buy a new one, but I just couldn't take being hit in the head anymore; and my fix of using string and wire to tie it to the surrounding cabinets was unsightly to say the least. I'm glad I did some research and found this part - all I had to do was pop it in place and now the vent grill is secure. Problem solved with minimal cost. Read more
