repair was very straight forward and can be done by anyone with reasonable mechanical ability. I read in a couple places where appliance repair people had said it was best to replace micro wave unit as it was near impossible to do repair. Pure rubbish; only problem I had was when the door and glass u it arrived the glass wasn't glued in completely and I had to clue it myself. I removed the three screws on the right end of the door and took my large pocket knife and ran it down the joint where the outer cover meets the metal door. first the top and then the bottom and the old door popped right off. removed the old handle from old door for the screws needed to reattach the new handle to new cover. I started the screws on the counter to get threads started in plastic made attaching to cover easier. hen started by pushing the new cover onto the left end of door the continued squeezing the cover on along to the right first top and then the bottom a little at a time and it snapped right in for me with a fair amount of pressure, replaced the three screws and it works great looks like new. I did remove the upper vent to clean and that helped some with installing. Very easy and beat the heck out of trying to replace the entire unit. I think the so called appliance repair people only wanted to sell and install a new one for $$$$.

I disassembled the door by removing three screws from the side opposite the hinges and pried (lifted) that edge up and rotated the panel away from the metal portion of the door towards the hinges. I assembled the new door panel by attaching the handle (2 screws). I attached the new door panel by starting at the hinge side of the door and working towards the opposite end of the door. The last little bit was tough to get it to snap over the metal sub-door. I reinstalled the 3 screws to snug, not tight because I did not want to crack the plastic.

I made a video. There were specific instructions to note which needed to be explained. Interested?

Is there an instruction video?

I removed three screws and then "gently" removed the front door plastic panel. Two more screws were all that was required to remove the broken door handle and replace it. You DO have to BE CAREFUL in removing the plastic panel. It "snaps" on and must be "snapped" off. If you are not careful you could easily break the panel and have to purchase a much more expensive part. If you are careful it is easy and takes only a few minutes.

took door panel off and than took handle off door pannel. took glass out of old door panel washed it and slid it in the door panel very gently until it snapped into place. then I lined up the door on the left side and snapped it in gently into place and put the 3 screws in and complete. about 15 minutes. I read that it was very difficult but that is not so.
