GE Appliances WB15X10269 Microwave Door Handle

Hey there, we're terribly sorry to hear your handle has began to bubble and discolor. This is never what we want to see from our consumers so we can imagine your disappointment. If your microwave is less than a year old, we recommend taking advantage of your warranty and scheduling service with a certified GE Appliances technician that will be able to accurately diagnose and repair your appliance. You can do so by calling GE Appliance Service at 1-800-GECares (1-800-432-2737) or by clicking here: https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm Also, pricing can be dependent on several factors. The economic elements include distribution, warehousing, and marketing costs, which account for a portion of the selling price of the part. Other factors like usability (cosmetic vs. functional) and availability also contribute to pricing. Unfortunately, in some cases, purchasing replacement parts can be less cost effective than replacing the appliance when out of warranty, especially with older appliance or small appliances like microwaves. We hope this is useful information and we're wishing you the best. Guy@GEA
