“Hi Frigidaire, What improvements have been done to provide sufficient support to inside plastic parts that the handle gets torqued to? My past Frigidaire microwave handle fell off because there was not a robust support for the handle mounting hardware.”

I have returned to answer my question. The door broke in less than 4 years, just shy of my previous Fridigare unit except this time the damage was less catastrophic and was repaired by drilling a new hole and tapping the handle with a new thread for the correct length bolt used. Why do you use such a thin piece of plastic to hold the lower portion of the handle? At least there was a sheet metal on the other side of the lower handle so the new bolt could hold on to, just had to remove some plastic so the bolt could press against the sheet metal and the door fully close. Also added a metal washer to help support the upper handle. Please consider a more robust design. Bolt used was an M4x35mm
