Replacing a door handle on a microwave oven should be simple and requires no assistance from an appliance repair technician.

The door handle can easily be replaced on most microwave ovens by simply removing the inner door panel that goes around the perimeter of the glass. The following link explains how to access and/or replace the door handle:

http://www.fixya.com/support/r3696942-microwave_oven_door_handle_replacement

The average cost for a replacement handle usually averages about $20 - $40. Replacements may be purchased at the websites listed in the link I provided. However, price and configuration of your oven also depends upon the MODEL NUMBER.
If you have any questions, please post back with your complete model number and let me know. I hope this helps you.

How can i replace the front door panel that has cracked at handle . it is whirlpool microwave over range

The parts are available from appliance parts houses. They do sell to the general public. I did one a few months ago. I think the outside door was around $30. It is not a difficult job. Just know that you have to take the entire door apart to do the job. 20-30 minutes.

I need to replace just the door handle on a Maytag Microwave (Model No. MMV4205BAS). All I've seen online for parts is a complete new door for anywhere from $220 to $300. Surely there is a cheaper...

The handles run about $25-35 here.

Here are the part numbers & descriptions:

W10279351 Black handle
W10279353 White handle
W10279355 Bisque handle

The microwave turns on when the door handle is

Hello :

If there is any resetting button , then press it to reset your Microwave oven . If that didn't solve the problem , then I recommend you to replace it if that's possible or just take it to the service since you still have to guarantee .

good luck .

rate please !

Slight crack in oven door just below the handle. Should door be replaced?

It may be that the handle is getting loose, and cracked the outer door panel.

If so, the outer door panel and handle would need to be replaced.

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.

The handle is broken off


You can buy the door handle for less than $30 and you do not have to replace the whole door. This part is not too difficult to replace yourself if you know how to handle a simple tools.

The entire door handle snapped off

I have the same problem- funny when we built we went all Maytag and got a bunch of lousy handles- the stove, micro, fridge, and freezer... I glued the pieces of the handle together and used plumber's putty to fix it. It's MightyPutty, but without the repackaging and cost. Just knead the putty until mixed, fill the cavity of the handle and press on the door where it was... No problem after six months so far.

Fan comes on when slight opening pressure is exerted on door handle.

The door frame and seal damage has put the relation of the door latches and the interlock assembly out of adjustment. If after disassembling the door it is found that the latch assembly is good, replacement of the door frame/seal might be all that is required to return the oven to normal operation. After reassembly, it is highly recommended to have the oven's emissions checked at an authorized service center for any leakage around the door seal area. The service center might also need to adjust and set the interlock assembly for correct operation also.
