I took your word for it and was determined to remove the inner frame. Yes there actually was a frame but I was doing more damage to it by removing it from the door. I took a very close look at the frame when I had it partial off and the tabs were mostly just breaking. I continued until the frame was removed. Guess what? NO handle screws under the frame. It looks as if I'd somehow have to remove the front stainless from the door. I'm at a loss and seeing how I can't replace the inner frame anyways, the microwave is useless.

Option 2 only - buy a new microwave

Hi:

I have a Whirlpool Gold microwave and the handle broke off. How do I replace the handle? Thanks for your help with this!

Click here for the diagram

#2 clips onto the door frame. Using a table knife or something similar (nothing sharp) remove #2. This will expose a couple of #8 screws that hold the handle. Remove the screws. Put the new handle on and secure with screws. Put #2 back on. You should be good to go.

Let us know how it turns out...

I removed the inner door panel that snaps on which uncovered 2 handle screws, but there are 2 more under another metal frame that is directly under the plastic panel I removed. I can't seem to find a way to remove this frame to get to the screws underneath. There are no screws on the edge of the door nor anything that can be snapped off. The metal frame doesn't seem to have any fasteners, either, by which I could remove it. Help!

Hi Gene:

I'm still trying to figure out how to replace the door handle on my Whirlpool Gold microwave (model #GH5184XPS-4). I see that fixit4me replied to my post, but for a different model. Are the instructions the same, do you think?

This door has a very different design compare to most others. You can find the instructions in the Service manual.
