JES1384SF07 General Electric Microwave - Instructions

Replaced tray with a new tray

I determined that one of the 4 micro switches that interface with the door was faulty. Ordered that part and replaced it. Had to remove the cover and front control panel (without removing any connections. Two philips screws hold the limit switch assembly to the bracket. After removing those screws, twist the whole switch assembly clockwise around the mounting frame and now you can remove the defective micro switch and replace it with a new one. This works for any of the 4 switches.

just replace it

replaced the inside guide cover and new buttons

I simply lined it up with the grooves on the microwave floor. It fit and worked perfectly. It was easy and saved me the cost of a new microwave.

My husband burned the microwave by using alumifoil. It was working for a little while after that but next day, the microwave was completely off. He thought the thermostat was broken, ordered the part and replace it. It's fixed and working fine now. Someone mentioned that if you put the broken thermostat in the freezer, it will be reset and fixed. I tried that also. I wrap the thermostat and put it in the freezer for one day. Now it's working!! I didn't know about that before I ordered the part but it wasn't expensive at all. So now, we have extra thermostat!!

removed microwave cover with security star socket (4 star screws) wasn't sure if it was thermostat cavity or thermostat magnetron ordered both for about $25 with shipping fee replaced both and microwave working again

After opening the case (the most difficult part of the job), tested the fuse (good) next in line on the power lead was the "flame sensor". With my ohmmeter it read open. The schematic noted that it opens at 212 degrees and closes at 32. Put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes while I ordered a replacement. Upon rechecking, it had reset. Reinstalled it and everything works fine. I did receive the new one and it's on the shelf, just in case.

Microwave outer case was held on by Torx screws, so needed to get a TT20. Removed case screws, removed case, unplugged thermostat cavity, removed small screw holding cavity in place. Plugged in new thermostat cavity, put small screw back, slid case back on. Plugged in microwave and still no power. Did everything again but also replaced the fuse. Plugged in microwave and it came right on. Has been working fine ever since.

removed old wave guide and replaced with new one works as new.. went to misc repair forum on internet and asked what is solution to the microwave sparking. several replies indicated a bad wave guide cover. ordered one and replaced it
