Does anyone care to share how they opened the door to replace the handle? Frigidaire service contact is refusing to give instructions. Thanks.

Check out YouTube for video instructions. A putty knife will loosen the liner and the interior frame granting access to the door screws.

I would try contacting the company directly. Did you try super gluing the handle back together?

I went to the frigidaire site. You can find out there. That's what I did. Good luck

Sorry it has been about six months since I actually repaired that machine. The customer serivce department was helpful when I was searching for this part though. Mr. Nelson....I will say that I remember finding a part that looked and seemed almost identical....but it was not! I apologize I could not be more help.

Not sure what model you have..mine on a Larson door took a little "modifying" because the inside parts were a little off in size and didn't match up exactly with the outside part. It was the closest thing I found though short of ordering a totally new handle. I did get it to work. If you want the easy way, order the entire handle inside and out.

Go to frigidaire website and type in your model number. You should be able to find a parts list that will include the part number for the handle. If the numbers match you should be good to go. Sears parts direct also has a parts schematic and will show part numbers for your microwave model. Compare handle photos too.

The inside of the door ring and the handle cover can be pried off gently with a knife. Be careful not to over tighten the two handle screws. Replace handle cover and inside of the door ring.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top.**UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

Seems Electrolux only supplies these with the part kit. If you have the Kit you should have gotten Instructions as well. The actual Part Number for the Instructions is # 5304457725 and seems you can buy them for a couple of dollars from most online Appliance Part Suppliers. I could suggest you call Electrolux/Frigidaire Customer Service..they might have a PDF they could email you. Finally, I will add that if you go on YouTube there are numerous videos regarding replacing the Rear Bearing and other parts. Best of Luck!

Pry around the edge of the panel, there are push pins that hold the panel to the metal.you can pick up a cheap tool to help with this but it can be done with a screwdriver gently or by hand.they can usually be reused once or twice. Hope this helps.kudos on getting the door handle off as I do not know how to do that

I tried to contact them to order a replacement handle and never heard a peep. If you find a place to order parts from please let me know.

If you really just bought it last summer then contact KitchenAid----They stand behind their products. Also---The handle is just a push-on so they may just send you a new handle.

read the instructions but there should be a tool that came with the door handle that is inserted in a slot near the base of the handle. You then pull the handle off of both sides and swap them.

One trick I used was to do a search for the part on a different website such as: "parts select .com" You can go through their parts diagram and get the Frigidaire part number and reference it that way. It appears to be the right one but don't hold me to it, I'm not an expert. But do watch their video on how to install it. It is very easy to do with limited experience with working on appliances.

Don't even remove the outside handle. Hold it in place, remove the inside handle, screw it right into the old outside handle. You might have to wiggle the lever to get the inside and outside moving parts to line up.

I had to figure this out too. Unscrew the Phillips screw holding the handle on from inside the handle, pull the handle completely off, the reattach the handle in the orientation you need it to be.The manual doesn't reference how to do this anywhere that I could find, but the box has instructions on one of the flaps that I found after the fact.
