140032271011 Genuine Cobra Oven Door Handle Spacer for Westinghouse Ovens WFE916SCC WFE914SB WFEP915SB WVE914SB

Part 140032271011 is a genuine Westinghouse spacer for the Cobra style oven door handle, also listed as A03227101. Spacers hold the handle bar out from the door at each end, leaving room for your fingers. This one is on file for the WFE916SCC, WFE914SB, WFEP915SB and WVE914SB, and it's the factory part made for those handles.

Fixing a loose or wobbly Westinghouse oven handle

The handle on these ovens is mounted to the door through a pair of spacers, each one held by a screw and carrying the handle away from the glass. Spacers crack when the handle is pulled hard or leaned on, and once that happens the handle starts to rock, twist or hang loose at one end. A loose handle makes the door awkward to open and can scratch the outer glass, so it's worth fixing before the screw thread or the handle itself is damaged.

Replacing the handle spacer

Switch the oven off and let it cool completely. Getting to the handle screws usually means opening the door and removing the trim or separating the door panels, so support the glass and keep track of every screw. Replace both spacers if they're the same age, and tighten the screws evenly so the handle sits square without overtightening.
