GE Advantium 120 Speedcook Oven: Door Handle Repair
Repairing a broken door handle on my 2007 GE/Kenmore Advantium 120 Speedcook oven.
Apparently the original door handle p/n: WB15X10070 has been re-used for newer GE microwave ovens. So you'll find many hits on Amazon, eBay and other appliance repair sites, but they are for the newer style handle that fits on doors with a recessed front. A few older pages list the same p/n but correctly show it as no longer available.
Originally, I repaired the first break with some Amazing Goop Automotive adhesive. That held for a number of years but eventually failed.
After removing handle and the adhesive residue, I drilled through the 2 screw holes with a 2.5mm drill bit. There's some un-drilled plastic at the bottom of the existing hole. The bit will eventually break into a hollow section inside the handle. Then hand drive a #6 x 1-1/8" or 1-1/4" drywall screw into the freshly drilled hole. It's easiest to do this on the counter top before trying to install the handle on the hanging door. Do not use a power driver for this. Add a small backing washer under the screw head and run it through the back of the door, into the handle. Pull back on the handle as you drive the screw in. Snug up both screws until there's no play between the handle and door.
