Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by an appliance repair technician or knowledgeable DIYer. Disconnect the appliance from its power source before beginning any disassembly. Most door handles are secured with screws accessible from the interior door panel; consult the appliance service manual for the correct fastener locations and panel removal sequence.
