The other day my wife was removing a plate from the microwave and struck the lower plastic lock that closes the door. So the door closes and the lights and thedisplay works but the oven does not operate. The display reads click start of the power button but clicking the start button does nothing. And with the door shut it makes a low humming sound. Do I need a new door or can the plastic piece be replaced? It there a way for me to "rig" it so it will work until I get the parts? thanks in advance for your help, tim

Remove the inner door frame and then you'll see where to go. This video clip and instructions from one of our previous posts http://forum.appliancepartspros...ng-outer-door-frame.html will help to better understand how to remove the inner door panel. Here are the break down diagrams for the GE microwave Model JVM1533BD002 Gene.
