Several months back I drove myself all kinds of crazy trying to figure out what a relationship meant and where it was going, and I'd given myself a lot of stress that way further back in the past as well. Once I accepted that I didn't know, just had to wait and see, let it (the relationship) have its own life and process, then it became much easier. I enjoy and appreciate the present a lot more, and my boyfriend is subject to far less of my insecurity. And as a result, he has become way more comfortable and open with me, which has really deepened our connection. I think that attitude helps me deal with my husband too, although at the moment he has his own issues which are getting in the way. But even with those issues, the fact that I don't have to know our long term future - hell, I don't know next week! - is helpful.

Genie Jennings
My blog, as my life, is composed of many interests. Because you are reading this, we must share at least one. They are divided into categories, so you can easily find others on our mutual topic. Also, you can avoid things on which we might diverge. Things labeled 'genie' are general life musings. When I took up fly fishing in earnest, I was struck by how much it was like skiing to me. It is an intricate activity that is easy to enter, and the more one knows, the more one realizes how little one knows. My comment was, "I would love to have something I love that does not require so much effort." I immediately knew that was not true. It is the striving that makes things valuable, and it is the striving that is life. I am evolving; I am becoming many things, a skier, a fly fisherman, an irrationally self-reliant human. I am becoming 'genie' whoever that might be.Follow @@geniejennings

Mooresville, NC (PressExposure) September 16, 2009 -- Get Real, The Real Estate Investing Show for the Rest of Us, interviewed Don Derosa, real estate investor, national educator and president of the Georgia Real Estate Investors Association, on the show this week. Don shared ways to utilize real estate clubs to further new and experienced investors business.
Don explained that one of the biggest benefits of REIAâs is to provide a place for new investors to network with other like minded people. Beyond any of the other benefits it allows investors to be immersed in the culture of others that are profiting in real estate investing. Being able to share stories and learning experiences with others creates and educational experience like no other, according to Mr. Derosa.
He went on to provide some tips for identifying a club that is right for each individual investor. Donâs suggestions included finding all of the REIAâs in your area and then trying each one out to find a personal fit. Each club may have differences in the way they are run and their focus that might benefit each investorâs specific business.
Mr. Derosa recommended getting a better understanding of the club and how it is administered. He explained that there are two types of clubs, for profit and not for profit associations. Investors should understand what type of procedures and structures they have in place. Most importantly they should have a code of ethics they adhere to to try to make sure all members and vendors are working with in ethical guidelines.

Leanne was referred to us by one of her closest friends, Alyssa, who's cotillion we photographed this past December. Needless to say, we were excited about capturing Leanne's cotillion and have grown a tremendous liking to shooting debutantes and high school seniors because they are so much......wait for it...
When he had met Leanne and her parents, we grew a quick liking to her - she's very mature, possesses poise, she's intelligent, family-oriented, and loves fashion. In fact, she's attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising this Summer in LA to pursue her dreams in the fashion world.
Here are a few of her photos from her pre-cotillion session we shot back in February.
Jeff & Marianne
Leanne collects a lot of fashion magazines, in particular, Teen Vogue. She loves getting glammed up, and dreams of someday working in the big city in the fashion industry.
One of our FAVES. Don't know if she knows this, but Leanne stopped traffic while we did this shot. lol
As we mentioned earlier, Leanne is very family-oriented. This image is one of our favorites - it wasn't about lighting, composition, posing, etc...this one was all about FAMILY and LOVE.
Leanne, Mary Jane, and Roger - Thank you guys so much for giving us the opportunity to work with you! Mary Jane & Roger - you two are blessed to have an awesome daughter! We can't wait until next month to capture the cotillion. See you guys soon!

But what is hot today changes fast when it comes to technology. Today, brick and mortar retail, a concept once believed to be threatened by online retail, has morphed into brick and click as a strategy. This is due to mobile devices, and now, the infusion of Internet of Things tech.
This changed interest may herald another evolution: viewing web analytics as less of a purely web solution.
Part of this strategy lies with customer usage of smartphones in store, which has led to new customer experience behaviors such as showrooming. Meanwhile, retailers like Amazon are increasing their scale of product and services, all supporting the long tail theory posited by Chris Anderson back in 2001.
In fact, the tipping point may come from Amazons effort. Amazon stands poised to reach far beyond its online roots, more than any retailer in the world.
Much of Amazons foray into IoT revolved around strengthening its delivery processes, positioning certain services to have more physicality in the consumer home. Amazon Dash, for example, offers replenishment of everyday items such as soap, detergent, coffee, snacks, and cosmetics.
And rumors surround Amazon buying a stake in a European mapping startup called Here, according to Forbes. The mapping service could provide data and logistics for Amazons future delivery resources.
When it comes to Amazon, rumors can run rampant. Rumors of a brick Amazon -- the idea of opening bookstores -- were discussed earlier this year, an irony given its history. The rumor seemed plausible. Stores would give Amazon another means to sell its devices, complementing its reach for consumer mindshare.
But the real strategic push seems to be with expanding Amazon Web Services (AWS). Last fall, Amazon introduced Kenesis, a platform for incorporating streaming data into services. It also added a business intelligence service called QuickSight. Meanwhile Amazon cut its data storage prices to compete against other enterprise-level data storage services and to draw customers.
All of this is fodder for the thinking marketer to wonder how to select analytics solutions for an IoT future. No longer are website activity the sole proxy of consumer interest and activity. Online search is still a gold standard tactic in a digital marketing strategy.
Since the rise of the search engines -- Google, Bing, and Yahoo -- however, many other ways for consumers to gain online access has cracked open opportunity for large companies to take advantage. One look at Amazon Echo, a speaker device that allows queries to the Amazon Alexa search reference bot, and one can see how that device is a digital starting point to research information, much like Bing and Google search have been gateways for Microsoft and Google, respectively.
Analytics solutions have been shifting their capability to account for more sources. Tag managers and data layers have allowed more sources within analytic solutions. Google, Adobe, and other analytic solution providers have made strides to incorporate streaming data, a hallmark output from beacons and IoT devices.
In fact, Googles Analytics 360 introduction may also be considered as much a response to Amazon as it is to Adobe Marketing Cloud. Services like Kenesis and QuickSight are meant to draw developers who will use AWS for back-end services. In comparison, the Google Analytics 360 suite includes a number of solutions that also interact with Google-offered cloud solutions, many of which compete with AWS for developer and start-up attention.
Despite Amazons history with retail, my suggestion is that competition among analytic solutions will not be an overnight domination. Websites and apps remain a central part of a digital analytic strategy for many businesses. Most importantly, Google and Adobe are more formidable competitors than Borders and Circuit City, two retailers eliminated by Amazon.
Then again, business network CNBC mentioned Amazon's claim in a shareholder report that it is the fastest company to reach $100 billion in revenue.
What I believe this ultimately means is that marketers must cross the digital frontier for building a cohesive customer experience with an open mind on how to deploy analytic solutions. The current IoT era is impacting operations as well as consumer-facing media, to a point that positions ecommerce almost as vulnerable as brick and mortar stores.
I suspect the real play that occurs for marketers will be decisions that blend IoT, web, and real-world footprints. As Amazon seems ready to prove, such decisions will be necessary for a business to be formidable in the years ahead.

Dr. Fogs Famous Ice Cream E-liquid - Alpha
Product Code: ELIQUIDS-DRFOG-003
Availability:Out Of Stock
You don't come across watermelon ice cream every day so this certainly sounded interesting in terms of its uniqueness. In terms of actual flavour it is quite lovely and very refreshing. The watermelon taste is delicious and very natural and this is rounded off beautifully with a hint of a tropical fruit flavoured sherbet taste on the exhale. The sherbet is quite restrained and does not dominate the mix but instead adds a good amount of variation to the overall flavour. This would be an ideal E-liquid to vape on a hot day!

Is the sum of a person's consistent ways of moral being and acting; "being" includes one's values and methods of making moral decisions.
Five divisions
1. How religion adds a deeper dimension to moral education even though at times different religions may offer differing moral solutions.
2. We face a special problem: if there is this deeper dimension, why do religious people behave no better than other people? All port's research-based solution on "interiorization" is seen as the answer.
3. Major findings of four current investigations of the moral behaviors of religious people as judged from students' non-academic behaviors? One special finding: the advantage of more recent kerygmatic methods for interiorizing religion.

The official trade union confederation has been criticised on all sides for its ineffectiveness. The government continues to victimise independent trade unions.
Trade union rights in law
There are many obstacles to the free enjoyment of trade union rights. Workers may not organise or join unions of their choosing, as all unions must be approved by and affiliate with the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) and operate under its umbrella. The VGCL, on its part, is under the leadership of the ruling party. Individual unions can only affiliate with, join or participate in international labour bodies if approved by the VGCL. While VGCL-affiliated unions have the right to bargain collectively, the right to strike is severely restricted. The voting thresholds for calling a strike are prohibitively high, and all strikes must relate to collective labour disputes or concern industrial relations. Furthermore, strikes that involve more than one enterprise are illegal, as are strikes called in public services or state-owned enterprises. Strikes are also banned in sectors considered important to the national economy and defence, a definition which currently covers a total of 54 sectors. The Prime Minister can suspend a strike considered detrimental to the national economy or public security. Finally, if a strike is ruled illegal, the union and the individuals involved are liable for compensation to the employer for "losses and damages".
Trade union rights in practice and violations in 2009
Background: Vietnam is still under the single party rule of the Communist Party. Repression of any sign of dissidence is being stepped up in the run-up to its next congress, in January 2011.
No freedom of association: Workers do not have the right to form or join a trade union that is not affiliated to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL), the official labour confederation controlled by the Communist Party. A new generation of trade unionists is emerging however, who do not have such close links to the party, notably in the post and telecommunications sector.
Official labour confederation criticised for its ineffectiveness: Strikes in Vietnam are usually called by informal groups of workers, even where there is a VGCL (Vietnam General Confederation of Labour) union delegation. The local authorities and representatives of the official union usually try to hold negotiations between workers and management. However the VGCL mainly takes the interests of the government and the enterprise into account during negotiations. In February, several representatives of the authorities called for a review of the labour legislation in order to clarify the roles and responsibilities of the trade unions. The deputy-director of the Ho Chi Minh City Export Processing and Industrial Zone Authority (HEPZA) explained that workers go on wild cat strikes because the procedures for organising a legitimate strike were too complicated and because workers considered that strikes were the only way to claim their rights and that most of the local trade unions did not fulfil their role of representing members and protecting their rights.
Court cases lead to dead end: Workers who want to claim the respect of their rights in court face numerous obstacles, including the slowness and cost of the proceedings, and even the absence of an employment contract. When the Thu Duc (Ho Chi Minh City) district union wanted to bring a case on behalf of 70 workers at the Hai Vinh Co. factory against their management, it turned out that most of them did not have an employment contract, even though it is a legal obligation. In other cases employment contracts were signed, but the workers did not get a copy.
Union representatives often co-opted: The ability of unions that are affiliated to the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour (VGCL) to effectively bargain with management is handicapped by the fact that at many private enterprises, VGCL representatives are either considered by the workers to be close to management or are actually management officials.
Drop in the number of wildcat strikes: Despite the restrictions on strike action, 216 wild cat strikes (illegal under the terms of the Labour Code) were carried out in 2009, which was 70% less than in 2008 according to government figures. This fall in the number of wildcat strikes was not due to an improvement in the workers' situation however, but rather owing to their fear of losing their jobs in the wake of the world economic crisis. According to the government, most strikes took place in foreign-owned enterprises and were in protest at long working hours for low wages, as well as the violation of rights set out in the employment contract.
Two workers' rights activists released: Tran Thi Le Hong, one of the founders and representatives of the United Worker-Farmers Organisation of Vietnam (UWFO) was released in February. She had been sentenced to three years imprisonment for "abusing democratic freedoms". Huynh Viet Lang, a member of the Democratic People's Party who had published an article in 2006 criticising workers' rights violations in Vietnam, was released in February after spending 30 months in detention, but Human Rights Watch notes that he will remain under close supervision for two years, which is tantamount to house arrest.
Tran Khai Than Thuy re-arrested: Tran Khai Than Thuy, a renowned journalist, has been subjected to several periods of detention and house arrest since becoming one of the founders in 2006 of the Independent Workers' Union. According to Human Rights Watch, she was beaten by thugs and uniformed police on 8 October, after trying to attend the trial of other dissidents in Hanoi and Haiphong. She was arrested and accused of "intentionally causing injury or damaging the health of other persons". At the end of the year she was awaiting trial.
At least three independent activists still in detention: In May a Human Rights Watch report documented the government's repression of activists who tried to create independent trade unions. The report recalls that since 2006 at least eight independent activists have been sentenced to prison on dubious national security charges. Three of them were still in prison at the end of 2009: Doan Van Dien, one of the founders of the the United Worker-Farmers Organisation of Vietnam (UWFO), Tran Quoc Hien, UWFO spokesperson, and Le Thi Cong Nhan, a lawyer and multi-party democracy campaigner. During her trial she was accused of "fallacious interpretation" of government policies on labour unions. Her articles on the internet criticised national legislation that allowed for arbitrary detention, prevented the creation of independent trade unions and the exercise of the right to strike. Le Thi Cong Nhan is being held in Yen Dinh prison, 150km south of Hanoi.

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) July 31, 2012 -- Avenue 57, a fashion social network site for women, has been awarded a WOW award by Jacqueline Gold. Each week Jacqueline Gold chooses her top 3 business's run by women and last Wednesday Avenue 57 was picked.
Avenue 57 is a new social network for women who want friendly, down-to-earth advice on how to dress from the real experts: other women. Aimed at women seeking honest feedback on what to wear, Avenue 57 lets members share their photo with other users, ask for help with choosing outfits for special occasions or tracking down a must-have item, and shout about their fantastic fashion finds.
Unlike other style websites, Avenue 57 understands that women in their middle years are finding it harder than ever to dress appropriately. They're worried about looking like "mutton dressed as lamb", but equally, are young in spirit and want their clothes to reflect their outlook on life. Avenue 57 aims to empower women of all shapes, sizes and ages to feel good about themselves by thinking about what they are wearing, and making their wardrobes work harder.
Fiona Blake, Managing Director, said: I feel honoured to have been recognised so early on in the business. We launched in March 2012 and the website has continued to grow and grow. Every day women are posting what they wear and sharing with others where they bought their clothes. To date, including Facebook, there have been nearly 10,000 photos and over 50,000 comments! To say women can talk and talk about clothes is an understatement! I am very much looking forward to the future and welcoming more and more women on to the website."

Episode 9
The penultimate heat week begins, as five more amateur cooks battle against each other.
First, they must hold their nerve in the infamous Invention Test, where they have just one hour to cook an exceptional dish from scratch.
They must then survive the extremely tricky Palate Test, a brand new MasterChef challenge which sees John demonstrate a chicken pot pie with coleslaw. Without seeing the demo, the amateurs are given just a few minutes to taste this dish before being asked to write down exactly what is in it, using their sense of smell and palate. Then they are asked to recreate John's dish in just one hour - without a recipe.
At the end of these two challenges, for two contestants it is the end of the road. The remaining three are then thrown into a busy lunchtime service in London's Bistro 51 and, after just an hour of learning the ropes, the home-cooks are set loose to prepare dishes for paying customers.
Finally, it's back to the MasterChef kitchen for the final test of tonight's Heat show - cooking their own two brilliant courses to impress John and Gregg. The contestants must draw on all their skills and influences as they prepare this food, because it is their last chance to win a place in the quarter-finals.
Only the best will survive, taking their first step towards being crowned MasterChef Champion 2013.

Much of the world was, of course, mesmerized by William and Kate's Royal Wedding.
You can add the Bank of England to that list, as pointed out this morning by Business Insider.
The U.K.'s central bank cited the April 29 ceremony twice in its latest "Minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee Meeting Held on 4 and 5 May 2011."
The Royal Wedding news — which it mentioned ahead of the Japanese tsunami disaster — is, sadly, not particularly good for the U.K. economy.
Here's how the BOE put it:
"Business confidence surveys pointed to a pickup in underlying growth in the near term. But growth was likely to continue to be temporarily affected by special factors. In particular, the royal wedding and supply chain disruptions following the earthquake in Japan were likely to dampen GDP growth in the second quarter and boost it in the third."
Here's a .pdf link to the full minutes.
Royal nuptials aside, there was some other nasty news today for Britain's economy.
Initial jobless claims in the U.K. rose by 12,400 in the latest period.
That's the worst showing in 16 months, mate.

#idazzlepicks: ELEUTERIO Filigree at Luxe Intelligence JCK
At the recent Luxury by JCK show in Las Vegas (*please note that some of my travel expenses were covered by JCK, but there was no expectation for endorsement or coverage, my discoveries are purely my own), I was so happy to stumble in to the Luxe Intelligence booth. Actually, "booth" does not do the space justice: it was a spectacularly curated collection of talent in one luxurious salon.
My favorite thing about jewelry trade shows (besides the people, of course) is the discovery process. I always come away with new friends, designers that I never would have known about if I hadn't been able to meet and see their jewelry in person. It is very different to experience jewelry that you try on, versus just looking at images. I would compare it to the visceral buzz I get from a museum, getting very close to the artwork I admire most, or a live music concert.
As I strolled through the Luxe Intelligence
booth salon, searching for champagne, if you must know the truth, the spun-gold magic of Eleuterio stopped me in my tracks. Delicate traceries of gold, some blackened into intriguing relief, form the basis of jewelry designs that were very modern in form. I absolutely loved the juxtaposition of this old world art of filigree with designs that reflect a truly contemporary style.
I spoke to Luis Antunes, Eleuterio's CEO, who also happens to be the grandson of the founder. It can be a challenging to embrace the future while still holding on to heritage, but Luis spoke with pride of the family's commitment to preserving this ancient art form. Started in 1925, this company became renowned for being the best of the best in the high craft of Portuguese filigree. As the third generation, Luis and his sister, Rosa Antunes, are taking the company into a new era where tradition and present exist. Beautifully.
There is a transparency to the designs I found mesmerizing, a mosaic of negative space that lets light or skin show through. The intricate patterns woven in metal start as tiny wires–I highly recommend watching this video of the process. There are traditional patterns they use, but the frames and forms the patterns occupy are anything but conventional. With a number of collections, the earrings, rings, pendants, even gracefully-executed cuff bracelets, completely dazzle with their originality. With Luis and Rosa at the helm, I can't wait to see what this company creates!

It happened: Paris Hilton was voted "Female DJ of the Year"
The day was sure to come, and it finally has: celebrity "DJ" Paris Hilton has taken out an award for "Best Female DJ," as voted by the audience of French youth station NRJ. The ceremony was held in Monaco overnight to kick off the Monaco International Clubbing Show, with Hilton recently posting the below photo to social media to celebrate her win, beating out competition from the likes of Krewella and NERVO.
The result isn't entirely surprising: last year Hilton took out NRJ's award for Best Breakthrough DJ. That year Avicii won Best International DJ, David Guetta won Best French DJ and French pop and electro-house DJ Oriska took out Best Female DJ. At the time of publication, the winners of the other 2014 categories had not been revealed by NRJ; it's not known whether the nominees for Best International DJ, like Hardwell, Calvin Harris and Armin van Buuren, were on hand for the ceremony.
In the meantime, let's relive some other classic moments with Paris Hilton, like the time she claimed to be one of the world's top five DJs, was making over $1 million per set, and that perfectly cringe-worthy time Hilton guest-DJed on Ellen. And take a look below at Hilton's brand new studio, complete with chandelier and golden wallpaper.

text: I'm very happy. Good flat response. I added a little mid with an eq. The sub response is very flat and not muddy when adjusted properly. They sound much better than my buddies Klipsch, so the are on ebay to buy 641's. The sat. speakers are a little big, but this is no real complaint. The sonic reproduction is excellent. Packaging was very, very anal. The multiple inputs are nice (3). I have yet to cause distortion, I can't take that much volume. www.mwave.com has em for $103 so I recommend you get a set.

Thank you for your inquiry. If the fan is still running after you use the microwave then it might be one of the door switches causing the issue. You will need to check each of them with a multimeter to see which one is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
When closing door the microwave keeps heating but turntable does not rotate. Have to leave open
Hi Pete,
Thank you for your inquiry. If the turntable is not turning you will need a new turntable motor. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
Profile microwave will not go off the fan will not go off
Hello, thank you for contacting us, In order for us to locate the correct parts and repair information we will require the model number of the appliance. Once you have located the model number please feel free to resubmit the question and we will be happy to help you. Look forward to hearing from you!
When I shut the door on the microwave it is still running, but the lights and turn table and panel are not on, I put popcorn in the microwave and it cooked it with out me turning it on, so I have to keep it unplugged, any suggestions
Hi Cas, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing or replacing the three door switches. There are two of the Secondary Door Switches,PartSelect Number PS237421. One at the top and bottom and the one middle switch is the Monitor Door Switch,PartSelect Number PS237422.If these switches do not fix the issue or test to be good then the Main PCB board, Part Number: PS8755571 will need to be replaced. These parts can be tested with a Multi Meter. Hope this helps!
Microwave door will not close
Hi Samuel,
Thank you for your question. I would suggest looking at your door latch or the support that holds your micro switches. It sounds like one or both of those parts are broken. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
Needing to replace a faulty secondary door switch on my GE profile microwave (part # wb24x829). After cutting off the breaker to the microwave, do you have to discharge the capacitor in order to change the switch? If so, how do you discharge the capacitor before installing the new switch to avoid electrical shock? Thank you
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your inquiry. Before you begin any repair please unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet. To replace the door switch in your microwave open the door and remove the screws securing the grille. Slide the grill to the left to release it. Next remove the screw on left securing the control panel and loosen the screw behind the panel. Lift the panel up and pull it forward to detach. Now remove the screws to release the switch assembly. Depress the release tab and the actuator to detach the switch you are replacing. Disconnect the wire connector to fully release the old switch. Install the new door switch by first connecting the wire connector. Position the new switch inn the assembly and snap it into place. Realign the switch assembly on the frame and replace the screws to secure. Reposition the control panel and tighten the screw behind the panel and replace the screw on the left. Reposition the grill on the microwave and slide it to the right. And replace the screws. Restore power to the microwave and it should be ready to use. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
Parts # ps237421 and 22 do they work in the same way and can they be used in each positions.
Hi Agustus,
Thank you for your question. Actually they are two different switches and could not be used in place of each other. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
Exactly how to i carefully remove the control panel? Does it just snap off, pry off? I don't want to break something.
Hi John,
Thank you for your inquiry. Usually there are one or two screws holding the top portion of the control panel into place. Then you should be able to pop it off carefully. I hope that helps. Good luck!
How do you access the switches and main fuse? I can't figure out exactly where they are and don't want to mess up the unit.
Hi John,
Thank you for your inquiry. To get to that area of your appliance you must first disconnect it from the power. You also have to be very careful. The voltage capacitor will still retain a charge. Wear the proper safety equipment so that you do not get electrocuted. You should be able to get to these parts by removing the grill of your appliance and by carefully removing the control panel from your appliance as well. Good luck.
Noted on partselect.com that someone else with this problem, found it to be secondary door switch. There are three door switches in this model, but online info noted that one of the three might feel "soft" (in my case, one switch clicked in a rather "jiggly" way, the other two were strong decisive clicks.) To access the door switches on this model was the only difficult part. First use a torx bit to remove the two torx screws below the latches inside the microwave. This frees the latching part inside, that holds the door switches, which you will remove after you take off the control panel. The top grill has to come off before you can remove the door panel. Remove the screws above the grill, on the microwave top cover, The grill on this model is covered with a panel that moves out when it vents. After removing the two top screws, the covered grill vent slides left to remove. Be careful, as the sliding tabs are plastic. Wiggle and jiggle it, to slip it off. Below the removed grill, is a small metal grill with one screw in lower center. Remove that screw, and wiggle that out. You'll then see the one screw that holds on the control panel. Remove this screw, and lift the control panel up to remove. Again, go slowly and gently, as the bottom tabs holding the control panel in, are also plastic and easily broken. Lay the control panel on something, (I used the coffee maker) and pull out the wire bundles tucked on the left, that are attached to the latching panel. Wiggle the latching panel gently to lift it up off of it's plastic tabs and pull it out towards you, so you can see the three door switches. Each switch (part number WB24X829) has a little black switch on it. Feel each switch with either your finger, or a screwdriver to see which one doesn't "click" strongly. The weak one is the one you will replace. The door switches are fitted into a tab, and plugged into their wires. Remove the defective switch, pull out the wires, and replace it with the new switch, plugging back the wires, and slipping it back into it's plastic tabs. Then put everything back together in reverse order. The entire job took me fifteen minutes EXCEPT for figuring out how to slide off the upper grill, which I have told you. A repairman would have cost $150, the part was $18. AND, there's a good chance, the other two switches will get "used up" in the next year or so as well, so I'll be ready next time. Thank you, Partselect, why work all day, to make money, only to give it to somebody else, for fifteen minutes of work. All I needed was the knowledge.

I saw a similar problem description at partselect.com and was confident to take the challenge to repair it myself. (Thanks to partselect.com). When I opened the microwave cover I found 3 similar switches. 2 of them works the same way and the other in reverse direction. Image diagram provided to buy parts is helpful to identify the switch.Steps:Remove the built-in microwave from the wall and keep it in an open space.Remove the microwave screws and take the cover out.Remove the 2 screws(inside) from the plastic panel where switches are snapped inGently remove the faulty switch and replace with the new one.(In my case the topmost secondary door switch was broken)
A great place to start is to reveiw the posting from "Marla From Arlington TX" posted on 8-3-09. It provides an excellent description of the process that you will need to follow. The only additional thing that I would add is to check the contacts on the switches. In my case I found that all three of the switches had a small build-up of corrosion. I used sandpaper to clean the contacts. Because none of the switches had a "soft" click to them, it was hard to identify the bad one. I basically picked the worse looking one and then cleaned the contacts of the other two. I'm not sure if I actually even had a bad switch or if they all just needed cleaning. Whatever the case, it worked. I would suggest checking the contacts first. You may get away with not having to replace any of the switches. And in my case what makes me think that it may have just simply been dirty contacts is that the heating mechanism would engage every now and then. It wasn't dead 100 percent of the time. It's worth a try anyway.
To get to the switches you need to remove the metal cover/housing of the microwave, by first removing several screws that hold it in place, and then sliding the cover towards the back of the unit. You'll find the switches in some plastic holders above the door-open button, and it's its easy to see how the mechanism engages/disengages the switches when the door is opened and closed.If it is not obvious which switch is bad, in our case the bad switch felt "soft" when we pressed the switch button with our fingers. A good switch has a firm "click" when pressed. The switches are easy to replace - pop out the old switch (no tools required) and pull off the electrical connectors. Then pop in the new switch and reattach the connectors.
Remove the 2 Torx-15 screws at left of control panel. Work the control panel out by pulling slightly to the left first - it is engaged to the slotted holes to the right.Remove the door's upper switch by lifting the tab and pulling out the switch carefully. To install the new switch, you may have to remove 2 philips screws holding the plastic assembly where the switches are mounted to the metal frame. Diagrams on the website are misleading b/c the switch shown up on top of the other 2 switches is the switch w/ the NC (upper) terminal while you'll need the NO (lower) terminal for this repair (symptoms are: turntable won't move, no heat -but light and fan ok). I should have called before ordering the part (had to pay shipping twice)...Once I got the right part, it works just like before.
I found the thermostat & one connection burnt... replaced the thermostat and replaced a wire terminal. I checked the door switches and found the one with burnt connections faulty... the switch was constantly closed, even when it was supposed to be switched open. Replaced the switch and the thermostat, and the microwave now works like new. If the thermostat goes bad again, I'll replace the magnetron next time.
We purchased our Microhood oven about 4 years ago along with the extended warranty package offered thru home depot. Within one year, the problems began. Each year the secondary switch would go bad rendering the microwave useless. If you have 3 small children like we do, you tend to use it a lot. We sure take the microwave for granted. Each time G.E. would fix the problem at no charge. Ths time - the warranty had expired and GE wanted to charge us $80.00 for service call plus parts and labor. We estimated the cost to run at least $150.00 or more.To top it all off, GE was going to have a service tech avail for over 2 weeks. This is poor customer service and completely unaccceptable.Because this was a recurring problem, I figured it was the same part that had being going bad since we purchased the appliance. I decided to order the part "secondary switch" myself and attempt to fix the microwave on my own. I ordered the part last Tuesday, the part arrived last Friday. Within 10 minutes I had the microwave apart, replaced the part and had the microwave back in working order.PartSelect saved me over $100.00. We are very satified with PartsSelect, I would recommend them to anyone
The microwave had been working fine until one day when the timer counted down but the heating motor (or whatever you call it) would not come on. So the timer would count down but nothing inside would get hot. I did not know what it was for sure but decided to take it apart and look. Once I had the control panal off, I found three small wired switches inside. One of these switches appeared to have shorted out. So I searched online and found Partselect.com. I found a matching switch , ordered it (arrived in couple days), put it in, and VOILA it works! Thanks Partselect.com.
I've been fixing and taking things apart since I was a kid. I hoped that it was a bad switch in the door. Got out my test meter and check the 3 different switches. All 3 tested good, but one was a bit hit and miss. It would work if the microwave was on its side and wouldn't when it was set flat. I found the switch online and installed it. Took care of the problem.It was a whole lot cheaper than buying a new microwave. Thanks! Bill Brown, Fridley, MN
Primary door switch was shorted and blew the fuse when the oven was plugged in. Replaced primary door interlock switch.
Took cover off, noted the two side by side switches easily visible and we hought one of these was responsible. Then son noted a third switch at the top of the plastic assembly which inserts at an odd angle. When it was inspected signs of a previous short showed up with burnt contact points. Reinserted at same odd angle as there were guide holes, closed things up and oven worked 100%. Great prompt service and great website!! We will use you again
The switches are not the problem! The problem is in the tolerences of the latch housing. I have ordered two new housings (Upper & Lower) and will see if the tolerences are closer. If not I will try epoxying a shim to the plate that operates the microswitches. The other option is to file the mounting slots of the housing to allow adjustment, which would be iffy,keeping them from moving with use. The exploded drawings really need to be clarified. The scale is way too small. It was extremely difficult to pick out the individual parts of the mechanisiam.
took of cover removed switch and replaced with new one
Unscrewed numerous screws holding the "body/shell" to the microwave. Removed body. I then unplugged top door switch, replaced it with new one, and "tested" the new one. I fixed our $400 convection micro with an $18 switch. NICE!
Took the front panel off, played with the switch while it was plugged in to verify the switch was bad. I actually was able to tweak the switch just right to keep the microwave working while the part was being delivered. When it came it was just removing two small screws and replacing. Very easy.
