How do you access the screws when they are behind the interior door shelving/liner? I cannot find any guides or videos for this. The screws are NOT visible or accessible on the outside of the appliance.
The screw for the handle should have a shoulder and it would be accessible from the front of the door. If the screw is in the door and not accessible from the front when the handle is removed, the threaded shaft would have broken off into the door. Unfortunately, if this is the case, the threaded shaft would not be removable unless there is enough room to grab onto it and unscrew it from the door. This picture shows the screw with a shoulder and washer that are solid and a part of the threaded shaft for the handle. This link can be used to view the part information page.
