Margaret O Bloomingdale , IL July 23, 2014 Broken microwave handle From the inside of the microwave door, we unscrewed the screw that was holding the top of the handle. We carefully removed the hard rubber gasket on the inside of the door using a putty knife to pop it out. Once the gasket was pulled away we were able to completely remove the old handle and install the new one. It took about 15 minutes. It would have been faster if we knew we could just pull out the gasket around the door. We weren't sure what was holding it in place and didn't want to break it.

Joe R Rison , AR July 07, 2014 The bottom portion of the door handle broke leaving only the top portion still in place After receiving the part, I 'googled' microwave oven handle repair, and saw a video as to how to replace. The top part of the handle was easily accessible from the door being open, but the bottom part of the handle was obscured. I saw on the video how to remove a large 'gasket' surrounding a portion of the inside of the door, making the screw for the bottom part of the handle accessible. Then, it was just a matter of screwing in the two screws, one for the top and one for the bottom! Then just had to pop back into place the large gasket.

Ed M Monroe , WI March 16, 2014 The lower end of the handle broke Ordered a new handle from you and had our " fix-it" son replace the old one. If not for him, we would have had to get a repair man.

James H Portsmouth , RI December 22, 2014 Appliance: Model GE JVM 1350 Broken lower end of microwave door handle Partially pried up the gasket around window inside the door to expose the bottom screw. It was a simple repair. Watched the YouTube video that showed this as suggested in a previous post. It was very helpful. The gasket is a bit tight, so seeing it done in the video gave assurance that it would likely not break lifting it! The job took about 5 minutes. The service from ApplianceParts was amazing. I ordered the replacement handle in the afternoon and I had it the next day! Wow! That is incredible super service!
