# How to Replace the Handle on a GE SpaceMaker Microwave
GE Spacemaker microwave ovens are available in over-the-range or countertop models. Both models rely on a door handle, which is used to pull open the door, allowing food to be inserted into or removed from the inner cavity. After prolonged use, the door handle may crack or even break, requiring replacement. New door handles can be purchased from GE's parts website (see Resources), and the new handle can be installed quickly, without the need for a service call.
