Kitchen aid khms155lss door handle came off - need to figure out how to remove back of door to replace screws

On the inside of the door there is a plastic piece that goes completely around the glass. Take a small screw driver or pick and carefully slide the tool in beside it and once again carefully remove this trim piece by pulling it from it's seat. This will give you access to the screws which hold the handle.

your better to dismount the door first
you may need to remove the top case
{no power empty the glass out etc incase you need to tip it over}

sometimes you need to remove the whole top panel
either look for the expoded view for it also

and take lots of pictures first and as you go

go for it you can do it
its easy
i recon 8 screws max for the top of the case
and 4 screws for the top hinge
and then lift off the front
four screw to take off the actual front

and 2 screws for the handle

,,,, thats 14 screws in and out

open *** and follow the cable which come from the back you will see an enclosure with fuse inside. Remove the fuse and replace with an other one with same specifications

The diagram can be found at

Open the door all the way and lift it up (press on bottom of door) to lift the hinge pins out, then pull away from the unit (walk backward) to remove it.

Then, the remove the inner plastic shell from the outer plastic shell by prying gently around the outer shell. There are no screws holding it together.

Once apart, you can see the screw (item 8 in the drawing). You can remove the screw and replace the handle. reverse the process to get it together.

Make sure the door is all the way back in tightly and firmly just as it is now or you can have a microwave leak. Work carefull and, if you have a digital camera or a camera phone, take pictures of each step to make sure you know how it goes back together.

cheers.

good day,
hope this link below will solve your problem.

there is a black plastic ring in the inner door, remove it carfully with a butter knife and you will have access to the screws

Door parts are available separately on this model.

The parts manual is here. And you can order parts here.

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.

with most microwave ovens, for safety reasons... they are permanently sealed to prevent microwave leakage burns... i hope this helped you out..

To replace the plastic handle on the KitchenAid KHMS155LSS-3 you pry open the door cover from the inside to release the upper tangs (~10). I used razor blades wedged between the tang point to hold them disengaged. Pull the front cover off the door starting from the handle end. Once the top edge is free, the bottom can be remover. See Pitcures.
Repeat the door cover removes with the handle attached from the front after you lift the tangs.

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

If the door won't lift off when you open it all the way, then you'll have to pull the oven from the wall to take off the cover and get to the hinges.

Kitchenaid / Whirlpool customer installation manuals and owner's manuals can be downloaded here

Hopefully you can do it without having to actually remove the hinges, since that would require adjustments and leakage tests.
