Looking for a replacement part for the door handle only for a Maytag MMV5207BAB. However, it appears that you can only buy the door assembly only which runs about $200. Do you know of a way to buy the handle only? Is there a way to obtain 2nd hand parts? Thanks, David in Fort Payne
The door of a microwave oven tends to be considered a single sealed unit due to it being a safety-related item. Some can be dismantled and some can only be dismembered with a power drill. If the door is to be dismantled it requires much attention to detail in order for it to still be safe afterwards.
You will need a lot of luck to find a used handle but it might be possible to press other handles into service. Other than fitting a different sort of handle there is also some very good repair adhesives available today.
Many handles are manufactured from either hard plastic or diecast metal which when broken produce ideal surfaces for some repair adhesives.
Once the broken parts have been glued together it is best to glue reinforcement over the repair.
I repaired a broken windscreen wiper arm and fashioned reinforcement from strips of aluminium sheet and the result is strong and hardly looks out of place.

Apparently the part number for the black handle is WB15X10020 and the white one is WB15X335.
You can order either and find find helpful exploded view diagrams here.
Enter the part number to order the part, and enter your model number to find the exploded views.
Normally
you have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.

Sorry, but the subject lines get cut off after so many characters.
Thanks for replying.
Part # DE63-00204A looks like a valid Samsung part number but it doesn't show up anywhere, so it's likely a proprietary part made only for GE and not available separately.
You can see a helpful exploded view of this model here.
Then you can go here and enter your model number and come up with the parts list. This site has much better prices than GE.

Chances are you will end up having to but more than you want to, but not the whole door.

SOURCE: The door handle on my GE Profile ADvantium 120 Microwave is broke
appliancepartspros.com. part number AP3187809 $56.40 plus shipping
SOURCE: Door handle broke off
The plastic standoff holding the vertical handle is made of plastic. After awhile the post holding the sheetmetal screw fractures and the handle falls off (at least the top or bottom). Mine failed after 14 months.
I used expoxied the post back together and that sort of worked, but then after trying to tighten more to make the bracket sit flush with the door, the post broke off lengthwise. Used a bigger sheet metal screw to temporary hold in place.
Ordered replacement standoff from www.samsungparts.com (DE67-00222C) for $4.75, but the shipping and handling pushed it to $12.
See images.

Stainless handle not listed.. I assume it is a black handle
This has to be one of the more expensive microwave door handles I have ever experienced.
The least expensive source I found was at sears parts direct.

Note that Item 51 of the first link (top one) is the complete door assy. Also Item 60 is the door HANDLE screws (2 ea)
Just from looking at the diagrams in the first link, it appears item 56
Frame, choke cover, inner door
must be removed to gain access to the handle screws.
I looked up many sources for the handle assembly because I had a hard time believeing the handle was so expensive. Sears was by far the cheapest source.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
