I need assistance on how to replace the handle on an Amana Microwave oven model ACO1860AS. I have removed the plastic trim piece on the inside of the door and removed the upper and lower screws of the handle but it won't come off. I don't know how to disassemble the rest of the door to access whatever is still holding on the handle. I downloaded a parts breakdown of the door which has an exploded view of the door however it does not indicate what is holding the handle besides the two retension screws. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks,

With the screws removed the handle should just pull off.

I was able to do it after discovering a solution on another forum for a similar style microwave. You have to separate the choke cover from the door frame using a metal putty knife (I did this without removing the door). I can email you the diagram if you want to provide an email address.
