Unbla to access the screw on the lower end of the handle
On March 21st my wife's daughter and husband and I tackled the repair. I am physically limited, so their help was not only welcomed but necessary.First, removed two screws on the top of the oven to remove the vent panel. Then removed the door by lifting up (as described by others). Next removed the black plastic trim from around the window, using a table knife to pry it loose. Broke off some of the clips but that proved to be no problem at reinstallation. Removed 6 small screws holding the window assembly, but we were unable to pry the plastic tabs loose and we never were able to remove the panel. The screw to the upper end of the door handle is exposed and easily accessible. The screw holding the lower end of the handle is underneath the metal window assembly. We drilled a hole in the metal assembly until the screw was exposed. Removing the screw was a major undertaking. The housing in which the screw was imbeded would not release the screw. We used the drill with a small bit to drill the plastic out until the screw came free. It was difficult and tedious and time consuming. After finally releasing the two screws we began installation of the handle. We found the female receptacle on the handle was very reluctant to accept the screw, both top and bottom. The job was eventually completed after we lubricated the female receptacle adequately. Even so the handle is not quite a snug as I would have liked to have it.The job was hard, tedious, and took over two hours. reinstalltion of the door was no problem. I don't believe the designers and manufacturers intended amateurs to make this repair

All power to the microwave went out.
PartSelect had helpful repair instructions on-line which made the repair easier and faster. Unfortunately, there were other problems with the oven that immediately blew the new fuse I had just installed. It was then determined that additional repair would most likely cost almost as much as a new microwave.

Powered Off completely
After reading reviews that there was no power what so ever and a fuse replacement will solve the problem, I tried it. Replacing the fuse is very easy (and I am not handy at all). All you have to do is remove the microwave cover from the top by removing two screws, slide the cover to the left and pulling the cover off. Then remove the grill in front of you, by removing one or two screws. The fuse is in front of you, use pliers and be firm but gentle. Replacing the fuse is easy but it did not solve my problem.

Bottom door latch was broken. Microwave was dead.
Read instructions and viewed video. Project would have been very difficult without the instructions and video. Step 1 removed vent grill at top to microwave, by removing two scres. Step 2 removed microwave door by lifting. Step 3 used a one inch plaster knife to separate the plastic interior cover of the door. The video was most helpful. Use the thin blade of the plaster knife to locate snap locations of the plastic cover. Step 4 removed broken latch by applying slight pressure to the outside. Observed the attachment of the 'spring'. Step 5 installed new latch and spring. Step 6 reinstalled interior plastic cover. Step 7 install door. Step 8 install vent cover with two screws. Step 9 test unit.
