I found the same thing at seveal stores. No longer manufactured. Sorry.

There is a fast, if not very elegant solution. Remove the screws and the broken plastic from the two ends of the handle.. Then drill a hole through the front of the handle at each of the screw locations. Buy two 2" flat head machine screws and nuts. With the head on the inside of the door, run the screw through the holes you drilled in the handle. Secure with the nuts on the outside.

As said, not very elegant, but it works fine and saves you from having to replace the whole unit for want of a simple part.

I have an Amana MVH230W-01 microwave. It is probably 20 years old and I am trying to remove it. I unplugged it and removed any screws I could find, including the 3 in the upper cabinet. Now it will tip...

You can try checking out the installation manual for an idea of how it was installed. It should be sitting on a mounting bracket and not attached to the sheetrock itself. However, you might be pulling on the mounting bracket when you tip it forward. You should have an extra set of hands to help you pull it straight forward and out, instead of tipping it.

The installation manual can be found at https://d1vofmza27mmhi.cloudfront.net/product-pdf/amana-amv1150vaw-installation-instructions.pdf.

Good luck!

Is there any place to find a replacement door handle for my Amana MVH230W? Lowest prices I can find are 80 to 90 dollars...seems ridiculous for a small piece of plastic.

The original Amana part number was R0713642, but it appears to be discontinued.

Luckily, there are currently two available new in the bag here for $39.90 each plus shipping.

You have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo) and then you'll see the screws you need to remove.

Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I made) here that demonstrates how it's done.

You can find links to helpful exploded view diagrams and other part ordering help here.

Is there any better resource for a door handle (ps2172561) for an Amana MVH230W than paying $90+shipping online? That seems outrageous for a plastic 12" handle. I guess when youc an't open your microwave...

The Amana / Whirlpool / Maytag part number is R0713642 and you can get it for far less at one of the places listed here.

Microwave will not shut off Amana MVH230W/01 fan will not shut off.  While I was cooking on the range under this unit, the fan came on by itself and I can't shut it off.  Tried unplugging it several times...

Your hood fan thermostat is probably stuck "on" and will have to be replaced.

There should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit behind the control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating components.

At our Web site, we have a video available showing how to remove a typical over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.

You can usually find helpful exploded view diagrams and order parts by entering your full model number here.
