Oven Light Bulb Assembly - GE JS998 Series Technical Service Manual

Inner Glass Assembly
OVEN
Note: Arrows on the side of the inner glass
assembly indicate the direction in which the oven
door glass is installed. The arrows should be
pointing toward the oven cavity.
Inner Door Assembly
The inner door liner, glass and hinges are one
assembly and should NOT be separated. All the
screws on the inner door assembly have been
torqued to a specific setting and Loctite
applied to prevent microwave leakage.
To replace the Trivection
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
2. With the door at the same angle as the
removal position, seat the indentation of the
hinge arm into the bottom edge of the hinge
slot. The notch in the hinge arm must be fully
seated into the bottom of the slot.
3. Fully open the door. If the door cannot be fully
opened, the hinge is not properly seated.
4. Push the hinge locks up against the front
frame of the oven cavity, to the locked
position.
5. Reinstall the security screws on each hinge.
6. Close the oven door and check for proper
alignment, rubbing, etc.
7. Perform the Microwave Leakage Test.
Note: On slide-in models, the door rubbing on the
oven cavity may be due to the leveling legs. If the
oven is not level it can "rack" the cavity and cause
rubbing.
