Problem
Door handle broke off
Tools
Putty knife, screwdriver, pliers.
Repair & Advice
Used putty knife to separate inner door panel and reveal handle screw heads. Used pliers to grip broken plastic handle screw receiver part while unscrewing screw head with screwdriver. Replaced handle, screwed it in, popped inner door panel back in place.
Note: This part DOES work for model MMV5207BAS. Various sites will tell you that the handle for that model is discontinued, which may be true, but this one is the same size and style, and fit the door for the repair.

Problem
Microwave handle was broken, and discontinued by mfg.
Tools
Screwdriver and sheetrock knife
Repair & Advice
First, partially removed part of the seal around the inside of the door's perimeter, handle side to gain access to the two screws that secure the handle. Second, unscrewed the door handle screws until I could remove the broken handle. Third, properly placed the new handle to the door. Four, tighten the screws into the new handle. Five, replaced the perimeter seal to complete the door handle replacement.
