I just want to tighten the door handle on my Kenmore electric range. It is a self cleaning range that is 9 years old. Can someone tell me how to do this?

I take it, when you open the door, you don't see the screws?

That is correct.

I would look closely for plastic that may be popped off to access screws.

There is 1 black rubber piece on the inside of the door at the top. Originally I did not want to take it off because I thought they might break off and some of the hard rubber would fall inside the door.

I just noticed that there are 2 screws at the very bottom of the door on the outside. My range has a removable door with what looks like a sprong loaded hinges.

Seeing as it is our Canadian Thanksgiving today and my wife will be cooking our turkey in the oven today, I will not attempt to take the door off today, I will try it one night later on in the week.

If you have any more helpful hints for getting the door apart, the door handle tightened and back on again that would be great as I'm not a real handy kid of guy.
