Grille ASM is constructed of plastic and that was broken in several for unknown reasons.
Made several attempts to repair old ASM, bur all failed. REMOVE power source from microwave. Grille ASM was seemingly easy, but the bottom plastic tabs did not line up; hence the hacksaw. A Dremmal was considered, but one wrong slip and 'junk'. On the louver bend the metal guiding tab slightly so the louver stays open. Watch the bottom and top tabs so that they go where they belong. My tabs did not allow the unit to slide into position, also the bevel on the tabs in some cases had to be increased to allow the tab to grab the microwave. Another possible problem could be losing screws and their tapping tabs on the top of the Grille. A small screwdriver might be need to help the top slide across. Now comes the hacksaw and several fittings. Making several small cuts on the tab taking just little at a time will preserve the tabs strength. These tabs are light duty, but they have a big job. Eventually the Grille ASM will slide across until the screw holes on top align. Install screws, bend louver guide back into position. Power up microwave and test louver operation.

I thought I had pushed the timer button for 20 minutes duration period,
however, I had hit the cook button and the microwave did not have an item to cook inside. Resulted in shattering the glass tray and meting the plastic lid sitting inside which was fused to the cooking tray. Carefully wrapped up the shattered tray and melted lid in heavy paper, deposited it into the garbage, then happily placed my new E.O.M. glass cooking tray into my G.E. Profile microwave. Thank you .

Smelling and smoking. Than stop.
I took the cabinet off and saw where the switch had been burnt. So I remove it and order another one from your company. And I put new clips on it with heat shrinks. We might get another 30 years out it, Although I'm 80 years old.

Glass light lens cover was cracked
I first read the previously posted directions from other customers that were sent with my part order confirmation, which were all very helpful. Then, I basically used a screw driver to unscrew the screw holding the lens cover in place - be careful as it is a very tiny screw and it can easily fall behind your oven. You might want to place a large piece of cardboard over the space between oven and wall, as I did, so that you don't lose the screw in case it falls. Next I pried open the prongs, carefully slid out the cracked lens, and slid the new lens in place, pushed back the prongs and put the screw back in. I found that it was easier to use my fingers to first place and tighten the screw because it is very small and will keep falling out of place if you try to just use the screwdriver. Good luck!

partselect
I could not do my repair! It took three month's to receive a package. When it arrived, it was the wrong part! Partselect would not let me re-order the CORRECT part without first getting a refund and then starting the process all over again. Plus, they want me to keep the WRONG part laying around my house for three month's just in case someone wants to "INSPECT IT". BULL!! I will never use partselect again!!!

Microwave would run when door was opened, tripped breaker, wouldn't run at times, door opening and close would help/hurt operation
The breaker was tripped but fuse was ok on testing. I kept the fuse for possible future repairs. To access door switches and fuse on this model JVM1850CF001, remove 2 phillips screws at top. Then slide the grill to the left (toward hinges) about 1 cm and it should easily come off forwardly. Remove phillips screw underneath grill attaching the main panel. Lift the panel 1 cm and it will easily come off forwardly - I let it hang by the electrical cords. Now you can see/discharge capacitor(s). Remove 2 star screws inside door to loosen/remove/access door switch frame. 3 switches are held in the frame by plastic tabs - one tab per switch. One is primary and 2 are secondary door switches. I removed each switch one at a time by lifting tab, pulled off the electrical connector and filed the male metal connection on each switch. I replaced the switch with a loose button (loose and didn't click as crisply compared to the other switches) with a new secondary door switch. It was the lower secondary switch. Worked like a charm after that.
