Hi Maggie...
You can purchase replacement handles on amazon/ebay/aliepres etc... but personally I prefer amazon (fast and secure shipping, with affordable prices). So click here Amazon com cookware handles and pick one (which fits to your Amway Queen cookware). Anyway before order, contact the seller to be sure.

I need to replace just the door handle on a Maytag Microwave (Model No. MMV4205BAS). All I've seen online for parts is a complete new door for anywhere from $220 to $300. Surely there is a cheaper...

The handles run about $25-35 here.

Here are the part numbers & descriptions:

W10279351 Black handle
W10279353 White handle
W10279355 Bisque handle

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.
