Problem: How can I replace the door handle on a GE, JVM1490WD 003 microwave oven?
The door handle has broken off leaving in place the parts that attach to the door and I see no way way of removing THE BOTTOM HANDLE SCREW THATS COVERED BY A METAL FRAME. I removed 6 small screws this frame has (3top & 3 bottom) but it won't pull off.

ok start over
you need to be looking at the inside of the door
the frame around the glass the choke
will pop off,,
take a small flat head place it between the choke and the frame down by the hinge. pry ever so carefully it will pop out slide the screwdriver around the edge until the whole choke is dislodged
once the choke is off
you will see the two screws for the handle
you may need to lift the latch mechinism to get to the bottom one
once your done you can simply push the choke back it place you will here it snap

be careful the choke is very brittle
and will break if bent

Having worked as an engineer in GE Appliance Park, I was very cautious in dealing with snap-in plastic tabs. I followed instructions and promptly broke the tabs off the choke. The tabs are desired to be pushed from the inside frame out, not the way described in the instructions. I see no way of doing this without a special tool. A flat head screw driver, even a spatula, will not get the job done.
