GE Spacesaver handle?

I have JVM1490SD003 GE profile Spacesaver Microwave oven. The handle broke off.

I opened the door.Removed the plastic shield. Can see one handle screw head but not the other one. How do I access the second screw head?

I too have a broken handle (second time). I refused to pay $67 to GE and even half price on ebay was too much to spend for their crappy plastic handle. I ended up ordering a satin nickel cabinet pull (10 1/16" long-EPCO Item #EPC-AS55-256-SN) from HardwareHut.com for $10.50+ shipping. Nice quality too. My husband & had to drill a new hole for the bottom mount since GE also designed the holes out of alignment. You will also need to purchase new 1.5" flat head screws. I used some white caulk to fill the old holes. Thought it would look terrible, but it's not that bad. I'm looking for something white to use as a new cover plate for the old holes. In the mean time, I've got something that looks nice, works, and I don't have to worry about it breaking again! Take that GE!
