Lisa R. July 05, 2015 for Model Number KHHS179LSS-5 I am looking to replace stainless microwave handle & the handle for this model is no longer available.
1 Answer Hello Lisa, I'm sorry but the stainless 8185156 and black 8205433 handles have been discontinued by the manufacturer. The only options you have for a door handle for this model number is the white 8205431 and the biscuit 8205432. These are the only handles listed for the model number you provided so we cannot guarantee any others will fit your unit. Read More...
Michael June 17, 2015 for Model Number MH1150XMS-2 The exact centers of the door handle mounting screws is 7 7/8". Why do none of the options you have listed for this microwave have the correct spacing? I see another individual with a stainless microwave is asking for 7 3/4" which is close but not exactly correct. My original is black but if you have a stainless with correct spacing I could use that as a substitute. What is the screw spacing for this part?
2 Answers Hello Michael. According to the model you provided, 8184264 is the stainless one. Read More...

Peter February 13, 2015 for Model Number KHMS155LSS4 I can't figure out how to get access to the screws that hold the door handle. I removed the choke seal (#2), although I broke it in a couple places, but no screws to the door handle. I tried to remove the door frame (#10) from the inner door (#4) but can't figure out how to do it. Any suggestions? This is terribly frustrating. Thanks.
1 Answer Peter, Once the door choke is out you will need to remove the screws that hold the door body in place. Once removed you will have access to the door handle screws. Unfortunately there is no printed information for how to do this. Read More...
