The lower part of the handle came loose
You need to remove the screws that are holding the frame of the door to gain access to the rear of the handle assuming that the handle is not stripped out to start with.

DON'T remove the cover yourself unless you fully undertand the SAFETY issues involved in working inside a microwave oven. A microwave oven is possibly THE MOST DANGEROUS common consumer product to service. Usually with these doors, the latching parts tend to loosen up at times, thus requiring some re-adjustment and tightening. Sometimes they get a bit warn and require to be replaced. The handle by itself about $40, apparently GE doesn't know how to make a door handle that will hold up for more than a year or so. I just bought a new door off of eBay for $20 + $20 shipping ... a deal compared to the $135 + tax and shipping that most of the web sites want! All you need is a phillips screwdriver and a 5/16" socket. To get to 3 screws that anchor the TOP hinge, simply remove the vent grill (open the door and remove the 2 white screws that hold it in place). To get to the 2 screws that anchor the BOTTOM hinge, simply remove the 6 screws that hold the grey bottom pan of the microwave in place. The pan will swivel down, remaining attached in the back panel. Once you've removed the 5 hinge screws, the door should pull pretty much straight out. Reverse the procedure with the new door, which should come with hinges attached. Could be that the place the spring sits in is a little broken, so theres no stop for the spring. open it up and see if there's anything you can do with it, try some epoxy putty maybe. Good luck

Normally
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 handy exploded views and order parts by model number here.

Hello,
you will be needing a Philip screw drive that you will be using to tighten the screw.
Depending on where the screw is located, it might be an easy or difficult task.
Check the front of the door handle and observe if you will see any screw. If you don't see any, further check for any rubber on the door handle because sometimes screws are hidden on the door handle.
If you don't see any handle, then it means the screw is holding the handle from the inside.
So open the oven door, check the door handle's area from the inside, and you should find the screw. If you don't find the screw, then something is covering it. Carefully remove whatever that is covering the screw from the inside of the oven door and after tightening the screw, make sure you cover whatever you have removed properly.
I hope you understand the above.
Good luck.

Some of the handles have a cover like that you pop off and then there are the screws. good luck hope you have this kind.
