I have this model microwave under the cabinet. The handle has been broken off for some time now. Just found the replacement part on our site and it shows inside and outside handles, which can be purchased separately. Do I need both? I can't remember there being two pieces to the handle but could have been. Also is there instructions for the handle replacement. Thank U. :confused:

Thank U. :confused: Judy, I always replace both, and I also install a couple of washers, to even out the pressure on the door panel(ou can get those at a local hardware store, if you wish). There are no specific instructions for your model, but most microwave doors are constructed the same. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect
power.
Open the microwave oven door.
Pry the choke cover away from the top door pin.
Remove the choke screws from the door frame(if present).
Starting at the top right corner, pry the choke cover out with a putty knife, and
unsnap it from the choke. Only remove the
top, bottom and right sides of the choke cover at this time. You will remove the
handle end of the choke cover later.
Starting at the top edge of the door near the center and working clockwise, use a putty knife, and pry the latching tabs of the
choke out of the door frame slots. Lift the choke as you release the tabs so they do not snap back into the slots.
NOTE: When you reach the handle side of door, pull both the choke and the choke cover away from the door frame, and then separate the two components.
You should now have access to the handle and the handle screws.
( if you decide to use the additional washers, insert the handle screw throug the washer then mount the handle and tighten the screws ).
You should do fine,
Good Luck
:) :) :)
