Chris B Pittsford , NY June 13, 2014 Appliance: Model SMH8165ST Microwave door handle broken off First, I want to mention that the part was delivered extremely quickly, I think less than two days after I ordered it, so great job on that! Next, one minor complaint: when selecting a part, it is possible to enter a model number and click "check compatibility." In this case, when I entered the model number of my microwave (SMH8165ST) the result is "sorry, not compatible." I decided to disregard that since I could see that it was the right handle, and also the model number of the microwave is actually embedded in the name of the part! Anyway it is in fact the correct handle so you may want to fix the compatibility check on this! As far as the actual repair - it was just a matter of removing plastic frame on the inside of the microwave door to expose the handle screws, screwing them into the new handle, then replacing the plastic part. Not a big deal, although I did damage the plastic frame in the process, since it did not come off easily and had to be pried with a screwdriver using significant force. But it went back on okay and it's on the inside so any cracks are not noticible.

David H Grand Junction , CO March 15, 2015 Appliance: Samsung Microwave SMH8165ST/XAA-0000 My handle was damaged ugly and loose I carefully worked the clips apart with a flathead screwdriver . I still broke a couple, but it seems to be inconsequential. You can't see it, and it still fits snugly. I only opened it enough to remove the screws to the handle. It went back together well and the handle looks great! Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
