Hello, I recently pulled to hard on our microwave door handle and the handle broke off of the door! I took the door off and took it apart in order to unscrew the the two screws that hold the handle on. One of the screws is easily accessible but the other one is directly behind the black metal frame that WILL NOT come off! How am I supposed to get to this screw to replace the handle? I assume there is some way to get to it since they sell a replacement part for it. I would rather replace the handle than dish out $150 for a brand new door!

Thanks,

Steve


btw, it is a GE profile spacemaker microwave oven

EDIT: I don't think that the three last numbers are supposed to be on the model number, can one of the mods delete them please?

If you already removed the inner door frame and that "easy accessible screw" then you probably have to remove the outer door frame which is secured with the tabs to the metal inner frame.

Yup, that's what I had to do! Despite GE's terrible engineering I finally got it fixed! Thanks.
