When to replace a Westinghouse fridge door handle

The handle takes a pull every time someone opens the fridge, often with real force when the door seal is gripping well. Over the years the moulding can crack near the mounting points, the screws can strip their holes, or the handle can twist out of line, leaving it wobbly or ready to come away in your hand. Buying it as an assembly means you replace the handle as one complete unit rather than trying to glue a broken piece. A firm handle also makes the door easier to close properly, which helps the seal do its job.

Swapping the door handle

Open the door and look for the screws, which are often hidden under trim caps at each end of the handle or along the door edge. Ease the caps off with a plastic tool so the white finish isn't scratched. Hold the handle while removing the last screw, line the new assembly up with the same holes and tighten firmly without overdoing it, as stripped threads are the usual cause of a loose handle.
