One side of oven handle disconnected from the oven door. Other side loose. How can we attach it back to oven door and tighten the other. Does the panel on the inside of the oven door come off in order to allow tightening of the screws that go into the handle.

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 had the same problem. We took the door off completely & turned it upside down. There are screws on the bottom of the door, take them out, take off bottom trim piece that holds the outside glass panel in place, remove glass panel and you can access the door handle screws and clean the inside of the glass while you are at it.

The glass portion of the oven dorr is not only attached by the screws, but there is a procedure to remove the door from the stove as well.
1: Open the door all the way.
2: On the hinges is a flip latch, flip them both up.
3: Close the oven door as far as it will shut, leaving the latches flipped up.
4: Lift up on the oven door evenly and squarely, lifting up and off hinges.
{note}...DOOR WILL BE AWKWARD AND HEAVY!
5: Place on flat surface, and under the bottom of door should be retaining screws for the door skin, so as to allow for removal of it as well. This should give you access to the handle so that you may tighten it.
Then go in reverse order to put door back on, making sure to flip hinge latches back down after re-insertion of door onto hinge pins, as the door will not shut without them being flipped down.

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.
