Review on GE Microwave Handle Replaces Wb15X335 by Paul Dobson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

GE compatibility issues across the microwave range and with this replacement handle,

I will return this pen. Here is my problem. Although this part is listed as a replacement for my GE Microwave JVM1340WW 02 (OEM part number AP2021148) and the plastic through-bolts are positioned correctly, they are a different length than the previous replacement handles I have used. (This is my fourth) The top threaded bolt is about 1/4" shorter than the previous bolt meaning it won't hit the hidden metal mounting plate. This will further weaken the sub design from the start. The bottom bolt is about 1 /4 longer than the previous stock part and will need to be filed down to fit.. I suspect someone has changed the original manufacturer's specs and we now have some incompatible replacement handles, at least for some models of microwave ovens.designed to work.If I got the right one i intend to glue the handle to the microwave and also attach it with screws found that this part was machined incorrectly the lengths of the top and bottom cleats (protrusions) were machined in reverse order the top is too short and the bottom too long I called the seller and suggested he exchange his entire inventory for the duration of the reversal check. He said he would. Seeing this complaint also allows him to review his prices to make them more competitive with other Revain suppliers. For $6.48, I immediately ordered a replacement part as that too would fail in a year or two. Some sellers will consider selling them in packs of three for a bulk discount.

Pros
  • Waiting for
Cons
  • The list will be long.
