Ge WB15X10069 Microwave Door Handle OEM Part

The top screw is easy to get at after the door yoke is removed. The lower is behind the plate that holds the glass and door together. I removed the door very simple just lift up in the full open position .lay the door on a towel and drill a 1/4 inch hole over the head of the screw and you now can remove the screw with out disassembling the door. Something the factory should have done! Also if your door is sagging it will put stress on the handle. use a adjustable wrench and twist the hinges to get the door lined up .Mine was the lower bent the hinge down and it lined back up and opens very easy.

Ordered a new handle took off the cover inside door. have to be very careful. Their is plastic tab that break off very easily. Had to take off inner cover also to get to the screws. This microwave was not very well thought out. The housing other screws are made of plastic this handle will break again. Very frustrating. Poor design. But I am enjoying my handle back on my microwave

Ordered the handle from AppliancePartsPros.com then watched this youtube.com video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRdy7CzznxY and was very careful and fixed it (although I did break a few of the tabs mentioned in the video). :)

Order the part and watched the video on how to do the repair. My oven wasn't exactly like the one in the video but I felt confident trying the repair anyway with the instructions on the video.

I tried to glue it, but it was not strong enough. I bought a new handle and replaced it. That required some disassembly of the door. The plastic piece on the inside had to be removed. The front of the door also had to be partially removed in order to uncover the bottom screw on the handle. I found that the holes in the new handle were a couple millimeters too shallow. I filed down the screws so that I would not split the new handle trying to get it tightened down. Seems solid now.
