Whirlpool W10272107 Microwave Door Handle OEM Part

I started by watching the video posted by couple of people on youtube on how to replace a microwave handle. After taking out the liner, I hit a roadblock with unscrewing the handle screw. The grip on the front side had basically melted causing it to be loose, so the screw and the plastic part would rotate together. After trying several things, I gave up and took it to Ace hardware to find an extractor of some sort. Luckily, the guys there used several tools and managed to get the screw out. Once I got it out, I was able to put everything back together with the new handle I got from appliancepros pretty fast. I did break a couple of those flimsy plastic latches on the inside of the door trying to pry the plastic liner out. So please be very careful with that.

Not only did AppliancePartsPros have the part, but also had schematic drawings and how-to video to replace the part I needed. Much better service than I expected -- and the wife is happy to not have to use the bottom of the microwave door to pry open the microwave!

I had to remove 2 screws and unclip outer cover of the door. Then remove 2 more screws that hold the handle. Then reverse the process to put back together.

Watched a 'how to" video on how to remove door and disassemble it. All good except for the hinge pin was not a screw as shown in video , it was a Pin. Could not pull it out. So I took off first piece of trim and a tab fell out. I was then able to remove the pin and door. I disassembled the rest of the door and replaced the handle with no more problems. Took a time to reinstall the tab that held the pin in. Never saw where it came from. Took some time but I finally discovered it was attached to the first trim piece I took off. It's always something.
