Installation Notes

Appliance repair technicians or qualified DIYers perform this replacement. Unplug the refrigerator from its power source before beginning any disassembly. Most door handle replacements require only a screwdriver to remove the mounting hardware securing the handle to the door panel. Do not overtighten fasteners, as excess torque can crack the door liner or strip the mounting inserts.
