CustomerMary Rose from River Forest IL
The handle broke off of the microwave.
I loosened the screw that held the top of the handle onto the door of the microwave, and also removed the gasket on the inside of the door, exposing the bottom screw holding the lower end of the handle to the door. I removed the old handle parts and placed the new handle in the proper location, and then screwed the handle into place. I replaced the gasket, and I was done!
It was painless.

CustomerJohn from Titusville FL
The old handle had broken. Design flaw with ge microwaves. I have replaced them on 3 different ovens!
Thankfully I read someone else's report. I remove the top screw with ease and then pried off the cover surronding the glass panel enough to get access to the lower screw and removed it. Then I just screwed the screws back into the new handle and snapped the plastic covering back in place and "Bob's your uncle"

Door handle broke off of microwave
There were only two screws holding the door handle in place. The first is obvious but the second requires that you snap off the plastic window cover on the door. I only took it partially off using a butter knife to lift it. It snaps out easily.
Take out both screws which removes all parts of the old handle. Then just put in the new handle and use old screws to secure it in place. Except for removing the plastic cover, this was absolutely trivial.
$60 seems expensive for a plastic door handle, but it is cheaper than a new unit.

CustomerLiz from Anaheim CA
Broken door handle
Just as those before me have described, it was very simple. Just open the microwave oven door, gently pry off the plastic ring (note: don't try to operate microwave without ring in place as it will not work), remove the existing screws, replace with new handle, screws, and finally ring which snaps back into place. The most troubling part of the repair, was the cost of the handle. At $60 plus international banking fees, they really have you over a barrell. But I suppose better than the cost of a replacement microwave.

CustomerKenneth from Caledonia MI
The microwave door handle broke
The repair is simple. There was only one screw remaining to hold the handle and the screw is visible from the inside of the door. The second screw can be accessed by removing a piece of trim that goes around the inside of the glass. Remove that trim by carefully twisting the trim and sliding a thin knife into the inner edge. Once you see the first of the small clips the rest is easy.
Only complaint is that the microwave is only 10 years old and the part has two small extrusions for the screw. The price of the replacement is excessively high for what it is.

CustomerRahul from Irvine CA
The bottom portion of the door handle became detached from the door
1 - Open the microwave door and locate the plastic gasket that goes all around the inside of the door (just around the glass)
2 - Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the plastic gasket. This will expose the bottom screw.
3 - Remove the top and bottom screws of the handle
4 - Attach the new handle and put the plastic gasket back in place
5 - Enjoy the rest of your day!

Outer door frame was cracked and bottom of door handle was broken where the screw attaches to it.
Had already reverse engineered the door and it's parts so when the repair parts got here I already knew how the parts fit together. Took me 15 minutes max without instructions.
