Handyman Finds Microwave Handle, Exceptional Ordering Experience at RepairClinic.com®

Phil, a deputy sheriff in Louisiana, is by all accounts a handy guy. A licensed aircraft, airframe and power plant technician, he knows his way around electronics, and typically does all his own home repairs. However, ordering parts online was something new.

When the handle on the family's microwave came off, Phil and his wife were stumped on where to find a replacement handle. Though they were able to use the microwave, they quickly tired with the difficulty of opening and closing it.

On his wife's suggestion, Phil searched online for the replacement part. Some of the sites he found had microwave handles, but sketchy online details left him unsure of whether it was the right part for his unit.
How Did He Do It?

Problem: Broken microwave handle

What led him to RepairClinic.com: He found the site via an online search for "microwave handle"

How he diagnosed the problem:
Handle fell off the microwave

How he fixed it:
Screwed on new handle

Part needed:
Microwave door handle

Tools used:
Screwdriver

Total time for repair:
Less than five minutes

Once on RepairClinic.com, Phil used the site's simple navigation to quickly find microwave parts and the handle for his model. Though Phil had never ordered a part online before, the amount of detail on RepairClinic.com gave him the peace of mind that it was the right replacement handle.

"I was very impressed with the site," Phil said. "There was an illustration that matched our old handle, along with the measurements. I could measure the current part and know that it was exactly the right thing."

In just three days, the right replacement part arrived. In less than five minutes, Phil had screwed on the new handle and the microwave was ready to go.

As a competent repair man, Phil expected the microwave fix to be simple. What he didn't expect was such a hassle-free online experience - the speed and ease of finding, ordering and receiving the part.

"In this age, it is more likely you will get the wrong part or that it will be back-ordered," he said. "I will definitely use the site again and recommend it."
