I have a replacement door handle for the Amana Microwave oven model ACO1860AS but can't remove the old one. I have removed the inside trim of the door and removed the handle screws but it won't come off. Please help.
Thanks
I just replaced the door handle on my Amana Radar Range ACO 186OAS and I have some tips to pass along. Removing the door gasket is quite simple... however, finding the second screw (at top and bottom of handle ) is impossioble because it is not there even though the handle indicates there is a hole for two at top and bottom.. The handle will be a liittle difficult to remove due to grease accumulation, etc. If you decide to remove the door, remove the door trim and frame, (it just snaps out) remove the vent/filter held by two screws on top, lift up on hinge area, quite simple...however, removing the door is not a necessary task.

Solved...After reading other similar posts I came across a diagram on removing the choke cover from the door frame and was able to replace the door handle. Thanks!
This is the diagram that helped me solve the issue.
You have to pull the handle REALLY hard to pop it out. As this and other fix-it websites will tell you, there are only two screws holding the handle to the door (one up, one down). I was afraid to pull harder, thinking I'd pull the door off the hinge or break the door. What I finally decided to do was get a vice grip to pull the handle off with, and that did the job. You do have to *pull hard*! At least I did, and from reading other posts on the internet, other people had this problem also and had to pull really hard. Good luck.
I cannot open the door on my Amana Microwave oven. When I push the door open button in the light comes on but door will not open. I reset the circuit breaker thinking that would help but it didn't. The control panel works but after selecting the program oven doesn't function after hitting the START button. Please help!
