Loose oven door handle

Yes you need to take the inside of the door off. Usually a few screws. Then you will have access to the screws that hold the handle.

Remove the door gasket, that should give you access to removing door plate. Door handle may need to be replaced.

You will need to unscrew and unfasten the inside door panel to access the screws that need to be tightened.

Look at your booklet that came with the oven - the page that shows you how to clean the door. The inside glass panel folds upwards and outwards and you can then access the screw holding the handle in place. Unfortunately you need a rather strange star-shaped screw driver.... I had to go and buy one but that's a lot cheaper than a Miele engineer call-out.

If you can't find your instructions you will be able to look it up online.

Extend your door hinges and remove entirely over to a table or other flat surface where you can do a step-by-step dis-assembly. Unfortunately, to get at the interior of the handle unit, it's the final stage of the taking apart. Begin by removing the bolts at the bottom of the door, then the main panel and side flanges can be removed. (You can give your glass a good cleaning at this point also.) There are 2 bolts to remove to free up the handle unit, and now you can easily tighten (or replace as needed) the 2 pairs of handle bolts. Reverse your order to re-assemble, and put your door back on the oven. It's not as bad an exercise as it would appear. Just take your time and watch what you're doing. I used the hinges as a shim, and had it laid out on a pool table for easy, elevated examination.

I had same problem, fixed by removing screws under door and removing side panels . Then remove front glass ( 4 screws under glass ) and remove other screws behind glass to remove handle and then tighten 4 screws on handle. Works great.

The door can be seperated by screw on the side of the door, Put lock washers to insure futer tightness.

Hi,
You may have to get some loctite brand paste in a tube for applying to the threads of the bolts that hold it on.
This will prevent the screws from loosening.
Another way would be to get some spring washers or star washers at your local hardware store such as menards.

I would try putting some locktite on the threads so It wont come losse anymore.
