Our records don't tie it to a particular dryer brand, so it's important to compare the shape, length and fixing points with your old handle, or the product photos, before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy dryer door handles break\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dryer door is opened and shut several times on every load, and many people pull it by the handle while the door is still held by its catch. That puts a lot of force on a small plastic part. Heat from the drum can also make plastic brittle over the years. The usual result is a handle that cracks at its mounting lugs, comes loose or breaks off completely, leaving you prising the door open by the edge. A new handle restores a proper grip and protects the door from further damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number 00405273\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM aftermarket dryer door handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces a cracked or broken handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting the new handle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnplug the dryer first. Depending on the design, the handle may be screwed on from inside the door, held by clips or trapped between the inner and outer door panels, so look closely at how the old one is fixed before levering anything. Fit the new handle the same way and check the door opens and latches cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich dryer brands does 00405273 fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur stock record doesn't list the brand or models for this handle.
