Whirlpool WP74011778 Oven Door Handle OEM Part

Start by removing the frame on the sides and bottom of the door. (Do not unscrew the corner screw holding the side frame and bottom together.) Be careful the glass will fall once the last screw is removed from the bottom so hold tight. Carefully remove glass and set aside. Remove top frame that held the handle. Once all the frame work and outer glass is removed unscrew the bracket that held the door handle from the door. Taking the top frame and bracket insert screw and washer and screw the handle on. Reattach bracket with the top frame and door handle. Put glass in bottom frame and reattach framework. (** Might find it easier to work on by removing the oven door. Just open the door and lift up sliding the door off the hinges. To put door back slide it back on the hinges. This step is not necessary but it does make handling the glass easier.)

I unscrewed the top three screws of the oven door. Then pulled the glass front off. Removed the interier handle brackets (2 screws on each side). I reversed the process when I installed the oven handle. It was a little tricky installing the top bracket without chipping the glass front. Be patient!

Part was here in one day w/standard shipping.

After finding the model number, I went online and placed an order with Appliance Parts Pro. After discovering that I had ordered the wrong color (before it had shipped) a single phone call was all that was needed to rectify that issue with no cost to me :-) The replacement came within a week and fixing it (a Maytag) was very simple. Simply pulled the door upwards and it slid off the hinge (great design for repair or cleaning). Then it was simply a matter of removing the front of the door to access the bracket that held the handle. The whole project took about 20 minutes.

Replaced it with a new one.
