How to Open a GE Spacemaker Microwave for Service

GE Spacemaker microwaves are designed for use in a residential kitchen. If you need to replace an internal component of the microwave or send a part, such as the control panel, in for service, you will need to open the microwave. You should only attempt to open a microwave if you are familiar with appliance repair, to avoid injury or further damage to the microwave.
