HELLO.

THE SOLUTION ON HOW TO REPLACE THE BROKEN HANDLE

THINGS NEEDED.

Phillips screwdriver.
Thin, flat-head screwdriver.
Putty knife.
Replacement microwave door handle.

1 Examine the inside of the door. The handles of some early GE Spacemaker microwave models were attached after the two inner door panels were assembled to the outer door. If you see two recessed screws opposite the handle attaching points, undo them with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the handle. If not, go to the next step.

2 Insert the blade of a thin, flat-head screwdriver into the top, outer corner of the door, between the plastic inner frame and the outer door. Gently pry the inner frame out and slip a putty knife into the exposed opening on top of the door. Slide the putty knife toward the hinges to free the top of the inner frame; repeat on the front and bottom edges of the door and lift the inner frame out to expose a second metal inner frame.

3 Insert a thin, flat-head screwdriver into each of the small square openings on the top and bottom of the inner metal frame, starting at the handle end of the door. Undo the attaching clips by gently levering the inner door away, using the rim of the outer door as a fulcrum. Move the inner door away from the outer door on its hinges.

4 Remove the glass from the outer door. Undo the two screws holding the handle to the outer door with a Phillips screwdriver. Screw the replacement handle onto the door and tighten securely.

5 Replace the glass panel and reassemble the door by snapping the two inner frames back in place.

Thanks.

I need a new door for a GE Advantium SCA1001FSS01 - GE no longer makes, any chance another model door will fit?

This one from a Kenmore model made by GE might work: WB56X10400. Cosmetically different but looks similar otherwise. Browse pictures of microwave doors on Repairclinic website. You might find another one that is a closer match. Beware though, if door doesn't fit and close properly you run the risk of dangerous radiation leakage.

Ge hood insert zvc36l1ss fan comes on by itself. When not cooking?

The switch is bad. That makes it a possible fire or electrical hazard.

You should replace the switch immediately, or at least turn off the breaker that supplies power to the unit.

Don't let a broken $20 part be responsible for burning your home to the ground, fix it!

Parts for this hood are at http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/GE-Parts/Range-hood-Parts/Model-ZVC36L1SS/0432/0122400

This shows you how to open it up and replace the parts: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/user-manuals/9235/ZVC36L1SS-GE-Parts-RANGE+HOOD-manual?pathRender=fromManualTabPage

Replace handle on adeantium sca1001fss01

you have to take the door off and pop out the plastic molding around interior of door. You can do this by sliding a screwdriver around the edge until you can get your fingers in. Be careful because there are some small plastic tabs that will break very easily. Next, remove screws on the backing of the door. There are similar tabs holding the backing on even after the screws are removed. I used a pair of insulated pliers and used the handle to pry the tabs back. Be careful because the tabs will break easily. Then the screw handle is exposed. Pretty easy huh?!!!! I just comleted this process and am looking for a handle. I am sure I will have to super glue some areas since I broke the tabs off.

Good luck

Advantium 120 door handle breakage

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.

Normally you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.

Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
