Broken Samsung Microwave Oven Door Handle How to Repair and Fix 

I had to replace my handle on mine yesterday and I wanted to thank you for this video. I couldn’t figure out how to get to the bottom screw but you showed how. Thank you so much for making this and helping people out!

So helpful! Handles cost $95 now with no screws included. No assembly parts (screws or plastic parts) available to buy either. So, this has been a tremendous help! Thanks!!

Great idea Joe! I was balking at the the idea of buying a new handle for $30 to $70 ! outrageous I tell you. I used JB weld Steel stick from my local walMart. This was $4.50 a few dollars cheaper that amazon, and I could have it right now. only thing is if you use, it it has a lightning fast set up time like 2 minutes max. mix as needed and be generous. Also make sure putty is flush with the mating edges of handle. All in all great solution worked perfectly

Thanks for the video, my handle was broken, your video helped an old man fix his microwave. Well done!

Thanks. Gonna try your method. I appreciate you posting this. Will save me money!

Thank you, this perfectly solved our dilemma and saved us lots of time and money!

This was very helpful, thank you! We were able to get our handle fixed for minimal cost.

Had exactly the same issue with the same model... this video was very helpful, Thank you!

Thank you! I purchased similar items but then did a dry fit and found the sheet metal screws were all I needed to tighten the handle into place. They were long enough to reach the remaining plastic brackets. Everything is tight and good-to-go. Thank you for the info!!!

I already bought the handle and this showed me how replace it. Ty

Thankyou for posting this short and crisp video . Was able to do exactly wat u described in the video . Worked like a charm 👏

Thank you, followed what you said at it worked a treat, couldn't see how to get out the screw, but the butter knife trick was brilliant

Thanks, Joe! This is exactly what we needed! Yippee!!!

Thanks for the video, saved some cash using your diy fix. Same exact issue. The most challenging part was removing the plastic face without cracking it. It's very brittle and mine did end up with a little crack but stayed intact. I'd recommend taking your time on that part. Go really slow and be gentle.

Thanks for your video, it enabled me to fix our Samsung microwave. I ordered the small pieces that attach the handle to the actual door from eBay and just added a screw to each and worked great! ( the trim covered the screws). Thank you! Without your video I couldn’t even remove the handle to work on it!

Thank you so much for this video! I successfully reattached my handle!!

Thank you, Joe. I was ready to replace my micro wave until I saw your video. I have reattached my handle and it's working like a champ. You're my hero for the day!!

Thank you for sharing. I hadn't thought of using epoxy for this.

Thank you. Your video helped me to fix my samsung door handle in $6. 👍

Thank you , I did it exactly like you said and it worked like a charm!

Thanks, Joe great job. work well.

Great idea. Thanks! I didn't know that piece pops off.

Nothing like a pro ratchet job! Thank you for this video. Just got the compound curing now. Gorilla Glue did nothing!

The internal fan on my samsung microwave went bad so I went online to get a new one. However, the fan motor alone was seventy dollars and I wasn't 100% sure if thats all that was wrong so I ended up buying a new microwave for $200... Since it was also a samsung the installation was a breeze. the rear brace was the same and holes in the cabinet above lined up. The bad part was, I realized the handle was a cheap plastic one so I was going to take the stainless one off my old microwave and put it on this one. Therefore checked out your video and found how to take the plastic trim off. In the end, the locating pins on the handles were 3/8" different so I had to keep the plastic handle... Thanks for the video tho... It helped alot to not break the trim on our new one......

Great thanks for very clear explanation and video.,

Very useful hint on removing the shield with a butter knife. once this was done I just used a newer, leaner & longer screw to bring together the broken upper base (Black) adapter of handle

Helpful. Appreciate the video.

That worked. Thanks!

I just paid $11 for a new handle off Amazon. Ordered Saturday and delivered on Labor Day.

Thanks worked!

Thank you very much.

It worked!

fuck yeah. Thanks. I was about to spend $100 bucks on a new handle. Also the door cost $250 bucks lol. Cheap appliances break so easily. Thank you good sir!

Thanks!

I wish I had seen this sooner. I just ordered a replacement handle and wanted to know how to get the screws out. Thankfully the handle was only $10 on Amazon

Samsung‘s helpline’s answer was we have to send out a technician. Riiiight.

I just needed to know how to get the backing off without breaking it. I paid $12 for a new handle. It’s a little lighter than the original, so I’m guessing I’ll replace it in a year. Now I know how!

I've checked online several places all say handle no longer manufactured, neither is the door. So this might be my only option over buying new microwave

I am going to keep this in mind if what I ordered doesn't work but I looked on Amazon where they sell the handle for about $25. I found and bought it even cheaper on ebay for $15 and change with free shipping before taxes from a reputable seller. If you don't hear from me it worked out but I'll return if it doesn't.

Can the plastic clips that are in the handle that attaches to the door be bought.?

Thanks, my handle just broke the exact same model...

Once you’ve mixed and placed the epoxy and are waiting the five minutes for it to harden - do you hold it on the door while waiting or do you just leave it off the door while waiting for it to harden? Does it matter? Thanks!

The top end of the handle broke. The piece into which the screw is inserted, shattered as it has three previous times. The bottom part remains intact. So, I use your method with the top part only. I did exactly as you instructed, using the exact epoxy putty you recommended. It worked like a charm. However, I have a question. If the bottom part of the handle breaks (as it inevitably will do some day), will I be able to remove the handle to repair the bottom? Will I be able to unscrew the top part of the handle or is the screw which I screwed into the putty noneremovable? Could you advise? Thanks, Don Zimmer

Watched your video and it helped because i did not wont to pry the inner frame to hard so that was helpful! but , just buy a new handle and use the old screws! cheaper than the epoxy and srews, 14 bucks,and its a a new handle. thanks

Thanks for the Video! Wondering why we need to complete the last step. Wouldn’t the putty harden on the existing screws work fine?

Hey! I'm having an issue with getting the screws out of the microwave, parts of the old handle are still stuck on them causing the screws to become stuck inside the microwave. Any thoughts on to fix this?

Hi, did you have to take the plastic bit out of the handle, where the existing screw holes are, to put the putty in? Or just stuff the putty in around the plastic bits? thanks!

I was going to fix mine also but amazon had the handle for $10 shipped.

Can anyone help identify the model number of the microwave shown? I'm pretty sure I have the same one, and the handle just broke off. Unfortunately, the previous homeowner removed the identifying stickers, so I can't look up the microwave model to get the right replacement parts. Thanks in advance for any help!

Wish you could have recorded from beginning of the job

19 seconds in, all questions were answered. Non OEM part is on Amazon for $9.94

Good job Joe, is the handle still holding up after all these yrs? hopefully it's still in used :o)...

thnx captain america

Samsung garbage. So many people with the same issue and Samsung making bank on the handle. Thanks for this quick tutorial

Handle came off, and I can clearly see the problem is that both mounting nuts broke. I've spent way too much time trying to find online instructions for simply disassembling the handle, replacing the mounting nuts, reassembling the handle and reattaching the door back. Afraid I'll break the handle if I don't get it apart correctly. All I need is to replace the mounting nuts.

all good but metal screws in a microwave??

Handle new is only $9.99 on amazon. too much work when you can purchase new handle for $9.99. SAVE ON FUEL!!!

Getting that plastic part was definitely not that easy for us. Lol took forever and it started to crack.

Replacement handles are like $10 on Amazon

Easy to pop off?? I don't think you know what easy is. There are plastic locking pieces in the middle of each side. Took me 30 minutes of fiddling and ended up breaking on in order to kind of see into the bottom screw.
