I've had bad luck with epoxy repairs so I skipped the gluing. Once I removed the broken piece (the little chimney that receives the screw, the bit that Dan needed the needle-nose to grab) I used a screw that was about 1/4 inch longer than the original and screwed it all the way through (into the part still in the handle, the plate that the chimney was once a part of). Snug as a bug in under 5 minutes. BUT I appreciated this video because it gave me the courage to start snapping off that inner cover! Sometimes you can't tell if something snaps into place or is screwed into place until you hear the CRACK! ;^)

Glad it helped!

[@drewdettra1862]

anyone know if you can buy a replacement to the "chimney" peice and not buy the new handle as a whole

[@edwardlinne2156]

I bought another handle on EBay for $8.00. My handle was totally FUBAR. Thanks awesome job.

Glad it helped!

What's the part number? Or link.

I followed the instructions and was able to fix it. The prior owner had an issue with the handle and used superglue to put it back on. So first, the glue had to come off - which was much harder than putting the handle on. Thank you!

Glad it helped!

I am glad it helped! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. Good explanation ❤

[@dh4880]

You are so welcome

[@doodoobrown001]

Hey so how's the glue still holding up bud? I've got the same problem

[@dh4880]

It’s not. Maybe I didn’t let it dry long enough. I ended up just replacing the handle with a new one.

[@jeremywhite6114]

Same thing happened to mine. It’s only a year old. The plastic piece just shattered into a dozen pieces

[@msamra09]

Hello, What is the name of that piece that mounts the handle on the door? I don't know the part name. Thank You!

[@marshallscotts]

Thank you sir. Much appreciated.

[@dh4880]

You’re welcome! I’m glad it helped.

[@JudgeEarl]

Good job! Thank you, Sir.

[@dh4880]

You bet!

Thanks for the video. I just wanted to let people know that this is the 2nd time I've had to repair my handle and we all should refrain from cooking on the front right burner of our stove if we have this Samsung over the stove microwave. Usually the steam or heat from below starts to cook the plastic piece on the handle which makes it brittle and or melt and eventually the handle breaks off. It's happened to me 2 times already.

[@dh4880]

That is unfortunate, but thanks for the tip!

[@tiajuanacamille2254]

You should use your exhaust when cooking on that side of the stove it helps

[@Jrjaro]

Yeah, Samsung really needs to improve the quality of these mounting pieces.

[@Jrjaro]

Hi there, I had the same issue, but the plastic support piece inside the handle was impossible to repair or glue back together. Do you happen to know the part number? Thank you

[@dh4880]

It is part number DE94-02933A. Here is a link to what I bought on Amazon: amzn.to/3ZdvKqj

[@Jrjaro]

@ awesome, many thanks!!

[@Katakagara]

Goddamn Samsung could have made this a lot easier ! They could have just let the screws be accessible. I’ve got a slightly different model and the top screw is exposed. But still need to remove the entire plastic panel. 🤬

[@dh4880]

It seems they do not take into regards repairing when they design these products.
