I unscrewed the remaining stubs and replaced the handle. Unfortunately, despite care, I was unable to tighten the top screw sufficient to seat the handle securely against the door. I fear the new handle will fracture.
time would count down but unit would not run & heat.
remove cover, unplug secondary door switch (top switch) remove switch from holder, install new switch, plug in wires, replace cover, very easy. door switches are a common problem with microwave ovens.
The handle for our microwave broke off after 13 year s of daily use.
It took about 3 minutes to install this handle. Only two screws and it was done. Thank you for having this part in stock, as the microwave is still in good shape after all this time.
1. Removed old handle (removed 2 screws). 2. Removed and discarded old handle. 3. Put new handle in place. 4. Replaced and tightened screws. Note: old screws were reused - new screws not supplied with replacement handle. 5. Done. 6. Time required: less than 5 minutes.
Many months agoI replaced a bulb in the light and it did not work. After swapping bulbs with the light on the other side I determined it was not the bulb.
I asked a handyman at the local fitness center about repairing it and he refered me to your website where I found an exploaded drawing showing the parts I needed and how to get to them. It was great and very easy.
First, I have to say I was amazed at how quickly we received the replacement part--it cam the next day and I didn't pay for extra shipping. Of course, this was a quick replacement part, since I only had to remove the two screws holding the old broken handle and install the new one. My husband couldn't believe it was already done the next day--we figured we wouldn't be able to open it for at least a week. Thanks! Also, it was easy to find the part on the website.
Handle broke - second time in the three years we have owned the house.
The repair took only a few ;minutes. Unfortunately it was the second handle I have replaced in the three years we have owned the house. It's an obvious design or materials problem and I see no way of lessening the force needed to open the door. Otherwise the microwave works very well.
