512487P Genuine DishDrawer Handle Kit with Bracket for Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer Dishwashers DD60DCX6 DD60DCX7, also 510695

Part 512487P is the genuine Fisher & Paykel handle assembly kit for the DD60DCX6 and DD60DCX7 DishDrawer dishwashers, supplied with its bracket. It is a single handle kit, so order one for each drawer you need to fix. Parts lists may also show this handle under 510695. A loose or snapped handle makes it hard to open the drawer cleanly, and this kit restores a firm grip.

Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer handle broken or loose?

Each DishDrawer is pulled open by its handle many times a week, often with a full load of dishes inside. The handle and its mounting bracket take that pulling force, and over time the fixings can loosen, the bracket can crack or the handle can break away from the drawer front. A drawer with a damaged handle is awkward to open, may not close squarely and can leave sharp edges. Because the kit includes the bracket, it also fixes handles that have pulled loose at the mounting rather than snapped.

Changing a DishDrawer handle

Switch the dishwasher off at the wall and make sure the drawer is empty. Work out how the old handle is fixed before pulling on anything, as the fixings can sit behind the drawer front panel. Take photos as you go and keep any seals in place if panels are removed. Fit the new bracket and handle, tighten the fixings evenly and check the drawer opens and closes smoothly.

Questions about this part

Do I need two handles for a double DishDrawer?

Each drawer has its own handle, and this kit covers one. If both handles on your DD60DCX6 or DD60DCX7 are damaged, order two kits. If only one is broken, a single kit is enough.
