I need to replace the door handle. I have the replacement, but it looks very tricky. Do I need to remove the glass door first after the screws?
The door handle can easily be replaced on most microwave ovens by 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:

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 and let me know. If the model number you listed this quesiton under is correct, you can refer to pcappliancerepair.com for some excellent exploded view diagrams of your microwave that confirms how the door is assembled. The part numbers for a new handle (if you haven't purchased one yet) are:
8169737 - (White)
8169738 - (Black)
8169739 - (Biscuit)
8184264 - (Stainless)
Make sure you use the correct part number when ordering to ensure you get the correct color to match your appliance.
I hope this helps you.
