What usually breaks is the door open lever.
On an over-the-range model, only the control
panel needs to be removed in most cases.
Please unplug the oven first.
At
our site, we now have a video available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
We have 2 service manuals that are very close to this model have uploaded it them our site here to help you. You will need the
free Acrobat Reader to view or print them.

part numbers shown in the manual. Verify them at the Tritronics site mentioned below)
Once
it is apart, you'll be able to see how the door open button would press
against the door open lever, which would then lift up against the door
latch heads (hook-like projections on the door) to open the door.
You can usually find exploded views and order parts by entering your model number here at the
Sears parts site.
The best place to order Sharp parts is
Tritronics.
