Whirlpool W10259244 Door Handle OEM Part

Replaced it. The instructions did not come with the Handle and a picture I had of the parts did not tell me. I used a putty knife to removed the ring around the door and once that was off could see where the rest of the door was held in with snaps. Using the putty knife again I moved the rest of the door, to expose the handle. Unscrew the screws holding the handle placed the new one on and re-screwed it. Snapped the inter door back on and than added the frame trim back on. Putting it back together was a lot easier that taking it off. I think that is the case because I was afraid I would break something while taking it apart. I did remove the door to start but unscrewing the door with just one screw and than lifting it off the bottom pin.

I measured the distance between mounting holes and the one I purchased worked perfectly. The Microwave is now like new again.

Ordered new handle

Unfortunately, when the door was taken apart, there was more extensive damage from other plastic parts in the door. We would need a whole new door! As the microwave is 8 years old, we've decided to buy a new one rather than a door. Your service for the handle part was exceptional. Thanks anyway. Returning the handle.
