Paul T Poplar Bluff , MO December 14, 2014 Appliance: LG Microwave Oven LMV1680WW Broken lg microwave door handle I used a putty knife to remove the black plastic cover on the inside of the door to expose the screws to the handle. Then using a Phillips screw driver, I removed the top and bottom screws to remove the handle.

Whole process took 10 minutes. Read More... 30 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
