Mirowave door latch

While installing a filter in my brand new never been used microwave range hood combo I snapped off the top door latch with my elbow. After a few expletives I search You Tube and found it was a simple fix. I ordered a replacement latch from this site. It arrived in three days and it took 5 minutes to fix.

The handle supports on my microwave broke

Once the parts arrived, I pulled off the microwave door and pulled off the plastic trim with a putty knife and then pulled off the glass by unscrewing and pulling off the glass by pulling back the tabs. I unscrewed the broken pieces and screwed on the new supports which I attached to the existing handle
