Broken door handle.
Piece of cake. Pryed the cover off of the back of the door with a flat head screwdriver and then screwed in the new handle.

Broken Handle
Slipped the screw driver flat tip along the plastic strip near the latch inside of door to pry off the plastic cover to expose the screws holding on the door. Removed 2 screws and replaced handle less than 15 minutes.

Broken handle
I found and removed the clip for the door - top on the inside (not easy to find) and then removed the door. Called support who told me to watch you-tube and there were good instructions there. Needed needle nose pliers to hold broken screw and a screw driver that could fit between the metal. Flat head and phillips are required. OH you should try to leave the screw in the hole as getting it back there is a PIA. Took about 20 minutes and I am challenged mechanically. Altogether, not too bad.

Microwave Door Handle Busted Off (At Top Of Handle)
Easy as 1-2-3! Removed door from unit (top right hinge has an easy small lock that simply "snaps out" with a standard screwdriver. Placed door face down on table. Removed outer (perimeter) frame with standard screw driver, by plying up. Removed the two screws (to the handle) from the backside of door with a phillips screwdriver. Replaced with the new door handle and repeated the above steps in reverse. Done.

House wiring failure caused excessive voltage to microwave
Disassembled control panel and checked power transformer windings. Primary winding fried. Patched power to magnatron transformer to make sure it was ok. Removed power transformer and checked diodes and transistors on board which were ok. Installed new transformer and reassembled control panel to microwave. Checked functions.

Had to lift on the door for the microwave to run, suspected the door switches.
Ordered the switches from Partselect, arrive in two days. Had trouble removing the plastic connectors from the old switch terminals, one of the plastic protectors broke, but was able to reuse it. It took a little figuring out how to remove the existing switches. Must push in a tab and rotate the switch on a little pin, then remove. Must be careful not to break the plastic tabs holding the switches in place. Replaced all (3) switches at the same time. All in all it was pretty easy.
