How To: GE Microwave Door Handle WB15X10023 

It took me a while, but I finally figured it out, and I'm the man again in my house! Thank you, sir!

Excellent video - 10 minute job once I watched the video and it saved me an $80 service call. Be extra gentle with the plastic tabs holding the trim frames and door together. They will be brittle and they break off easily.

I can't believe how fast and easy this handle replacement went for me. I watched the video, ordered the part off of Amazon, gathered the tools, and did the job. Both easy and peaze. Inexpensive and convenient. Thank you for this great instructional video!

I followed your instructions and replaced my microwave door handle with so much ease... thank you!

Thank you for a clear and concise demonstration of how to get the door apart to replace all four screws holding on my handle. Door glass fell out when I pulled the outer panel out but I was ready to catch it. Worked great.

This was absolutely a perfectly made instruction video! Thank you!

Great Video. Was struggling trying to get inner and outer door apart, but thanks to you the wife is happy and I don't have to hear about buying a new microwave.

Great video, I was able to replace the handle in about 10mins. Took advantage of having everything disconnected to do some needed cleaning as well!

SUPERFANTASTIC video!!! This video was a lifesaver and I was able to replace my handle, but my Mom's, my Brother's (hahaha), and a neighbor's. Hopefully, I won't have a need for any more appliance repairs anytime soon but if I do you will be my #1 go to!

Just what I needed. Thanks man!!!

Very easy to follow video, makes the job look simple and easy to do. Thank you

Thank You Matt and Appliance PartsPro. Excellent!

I love learning something new every day!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Very Helpful! Our microwave handle broke at work and I have 2 old models at home that are exactly like it. So I will take one of the handles off and use it to replace the one at work, Thanks So Much!!!

Very helpful. I was especially glad you explained how to take the second cover off because my handle did not come off right away.

Great how-to video that made replacing the handle in my GE microwave a breeze. Thanks

Huge help for me, not knowing there were 2 plastic borders to take off to get to bottom screw of door handle was very helpful!!!

Excellent video thank you had my doorhandle replaced in a matter of minutes!

Thanks for this! It wasn't apparent that part came open :) Fixed in about 30 seconds after finding out how!

Easy as pie, just didn't look that way before seeing your video! Thanks very much!!

perfect explanation! Thank you!

THANKS! Had to remove the outer AND inner panel to get to the handle. I got fingerprints on the inside of the window and didn't tighten both screws ALL THE WAY so had to take it apart twice. It was easy because of your video!

Excellent helpful video. Exactly what I needed. My handle also doesn't come off after removing the first 2 screws, so I need to disassemble the door, which I didn't know about, until I found and watched this video. Thanks for making this video, much appreciated ! 👍👍

It was nice knowing the technique to remove the inner plastic without causing any damage. Thank you

Great video. Well explained. I needed this information a long time ago!

great video. almost took less time to replace the tension spring on my pvm1790sr1ss than watching the video. thanks for making it so simple and saving me $150 or more for a new door. not to mention what a service would be.

This video solved my problem! Thanks!

Thank you so much for the information, saved me a lot by being able to change myself

This dude is a straight up operator.

Thank you , this helped me replace my handle quickly

Very helpful video, thank you. Now I can go ahead and replace mine.

Thank you very much!! Did this without any problems and fortunately only had to deal with 2 screws!! Who knew it would be so simple! Saved us lots of mula!!

Thanks for the info. Made it a lot easier but mine was more stubborn. Got it done though!

thanks man you helped me to repair my handle

Thank you. Very helpful

Thanks! Perfect! MY inner door catches wouldn't release individually to allow the frame to swing out, so I made thin metal shims to keep the tabs disengaged after the putty knife pushed them away from the metal frame. Easy, snips an old can, SAFETY GLASSES AND GLOVES! :)

Thank you! I fixed it with your help 🤜🤛

Great video! This really helped thanks!

Thank u veryyyyyyy muchhhhh for your help I’m really happy i did it with your video ☺️☺️

Thanks so much!!! Easy peasey!! ♥️⭐

THANK YOU! The GE manual isn't even close to providing detail on door-handle replacement. Looked at the RU-vid video - I'm now ready to start my own GE Micro Wave Oven door-handle replacement service!

Never thought I'd have to replace the handle on my microwave! Thanks for this! I love RU-vid 😂

Great video! Thanks!

Saved me (once again!) from having to buy an expensive over-the-range MW. Thanks, guys!

Great video. I was able to readily replace the door handle in about 15 minutes. It took longer to clean the gunk off the hidden parts than to do the actual replacement. Thanks

Awesome video! Thank you so much! It was almost.......repeat "almost", as easy as you described, lol.

No mention of testing for microwave leakage through the door and frame after removing and re-assembly of door frame during handle replacement. That metallic screen like barrier that you can see between the glass and your eyes is there to stop the microwaves from causing cataracts as you stare at your food cooking. A handheld microwave leakage meter is available from several sources to allow the technician to check for stray leakage of microwaves through the front door after the door has been taken apart and put back together.

And I am new subscriber 🤗🤗thank u

I want to give u a million of likes 👍

Great instruction. Only broke one retainer clip trying to get the frame back on.

We had made it most of the way through replacing the handle and got stuck because we didn't want to break anything. Appreciate the video. The handle is obviously not the greatest. Saved us a bunch of money! Thanks!!

Thank You!

Thanks for saving me hundreds of dollars!!

Thank you for this video. It was helpful and my husband was able to successfully replace the door handle.

Thank you....saved a ton of money rather than calling an appliance repair tech.

Thanks. It worked.

thanks very helpful

Thank you sir I just have to other that part now I know how fixed

Thank you!!!!!

Perfect video. Now just need help finding one of these bad boys as they seem to be NLA. Any tips?

Looks like the same GE door as mine, will this handle fit where my three piece handle is ???

After removing the first layer, it seems I have to remove the inner door piece to replace the handle. The problem is that the iInner door piece will not come apart after loosening the tabs. It seems to be stuck in the upper left hand corner above the top screw. I don't want to break the putty knife or worse, the door. Is there some way else to loosen it up or is it common for it to be hard to remove.

Thanks, Wifey is happy now

yeah wish i could say the same dont have anything showing model number cause it smudged off the front where the door oh like yours. only i cant see the model number anymore only the pn. how can i order the right dang handle? Shiggety so frustrating

so if my 2-screw micro handle has broken off...buying a new handle and install as this instruction has recommended...should do the trick. My Micro looks almost ex. as the one in the video...exception-2 screws...?

Is this the same for handle WB15X10022 ? Thanks

Hi I have the GE model no. JNM3151RF1SS whose part no. is WB15X20993. Im not sure if I will find the handle screws immediately after opening up the plastic inner door liner. Moroever Im very scared in removing the inner door liner with a putty knife (afraid that ill crack / break it) ...leave alone the next layer of inner and outer door. Whats the best way to carefully remove it.

My over-the-range GE profile spacemaker XL sensor’s door handle broke off and as a temporary solution I used super glue to hold it in place. Since then it has completely broken off and I am unable to replace it due to the plastic screw insert being super glued into the door frame. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

I'm trying to find a door handle for a Maytag MMV5207BAQ. Can I use the sa.e handle for the MMV5207BAQ14 or 17?

Great video. PS...you have amazing hair

Warning: I have a KitchenAid combo microwave and vent hood. While the door looks like this one, you must remove the outer bezel, with handle and glass attached, BEFORE you try to remove the inner bezel. The outer bezel locks the inner one in place and you'll bust the inner one trying to remove it as shown. Instead, work the putty knife under the outer cap (or bezel) and pry away from the metal door frame. This will unhook the plastic retaining hooks from the door. Watch out you don't drop the glass - it may be loose from the door. Carefully set the outer door cover (or bezel) ( I don't know the proper term) on the counter. If you need to, you can slide the putty knife under the inner liner (or bezel :)) and unhook it from the door, sliding it in from the front side. You don't need to remove the inner bezel to replace the handle - it's screwed to the outer bezel. Be very careful when tightening the handle screws! They are fragile and will easily pull the threaded studs out of the handle. JMHO. Good luck!

The plastic outside frame of the door has cracked at the bottom any ideas on how to replace it?

That's quite the stance

The microwave handle broke off a few months ago now the door is coming apart and the glass slides so I had to hold with tape. HELP! What do I need to do to secure the door??

Instead of buying a replacement handle wih can be expensive you can buy at home depot lows walmart door knobs.i paid $4.00 for two metal knobs

Replacement handles can be expensive and they are cheap plastic.also i could not buy a replacement handle because they are no available anymore.for my magic chef microwave i bought at home depot two metal cabinet door knobs.i bought same color as my stainless steel microwave.satin color.i installed the knobs.the microwave work perfect and look good for only $4.00.

Don’t forget to say that the front of the microwave door will go flying across the kitchen when you take the second frame off and it will get dented to shit. Don’t for that little tied bit !

what a wonderful video...changing was a piece of cake..sorry to say with all of GE business in plastics the handle material was junk ...shame on GE

What if handle is intact only the part that secures it to the door is broken Mosel numerous GE JVM6175EK1ES

Why dose this not cover how to open the door if handle has broken ALL the way off? Any ideas how to open the door with no handle??

I just did this to my microwave before the holidays and the handle broke AGAIN. 🤦‍♀️

Repair starts at 0:58

I was about to throw my microwave out before seeing this video

Door handle repair .

Anybody have a LG .

It is never that simple.

GE microwaves are junk.. Doors are hard to pull. Handles last maybe 2 years if used everyday. Miss my older house that had a Panasonic Micro. 6 years without a handle break
