50284442006 Genuine Door Handle Pedestal Insert for Westinghouse, Electrolux Fridges WSE6100WA WSE6070SB ERE6100SX-XE ESM6600SA RS663V

Each handle on these fridges is mounted on a pedestal, and 50284442006 is the genuine insert that fits into it. The part is also numbered 1443895. It's listed for Westinghouse WSE6070, WSE6100 and RS663 models and for Electrolux ERE6100 and ESM6600 fridges, with other models on file such as the SSM6100 and KSM6100.

Why replace a fridge handle pedestal insert

The pedestal is the raised mount at the end of the handle, and the insert fits into it to finish it off neatly, on many handles also hiding the fixing screw. Inserts get lost when the door is cleaned, cracked when something knocks the handle, or faded over time. A missing insert leaves the mount open, collects grime and makes the handle look unfinished. It's a small part, but it makes the door look complete again, which helps if you're tidying a fridge up for sale or a rental inspection.

Fitting the pedestal insert

There's no need to cut the power for a trim part like this, but clean the pedestal recess first so the insert sits flush. Check whether the old insert clips or slides in, prise it out gently with a plastic tool to avoid scratching the door, and press the new one home. If the handle itself is loose, tighten its fixing before fitting the insert.
