A082473 Genuine Handle Spacer for Ariston Appliances, Ariston Handle Mounting Spacer, Ariston Indesit Whirlpool Group Spare Part

A082473 is a genuine Ariston handle spacer. Handle spacers sit between a handle and the door or panel it's fixed to, holding the bar away from the surface so there's room for your fingers and a secure point for the screws. Our records don't say which Ariston appliance or handle this spacer suits, so compare it with your old one, or check A082473 in your model's parts list, before ordering.

Loose or broken handle? Check the spacers

Every time a door is pulled open, the handle spacers take the load. Over time the plastic can crack around the screw hole, the thread inside can strip, or a spacer can split under a hard tug. Heat from an oven or cooktop can make plastic spacers brittle too. The first sign is usually a handle that wobbles, rattles or sits crooked, and if it's ignored the handle can come away in your hand. A new spacer often fixes it without changing the whole handle.

Fitting a handle spacer

Turn the appliance off and, for an oven, make sure it's completely cold. Handle screws are often reached from inside the door or behind a trim, and on some oven doors the glass has to come out first, so take photos as you go. Undo the handle, swap the broken spacer, and tighten the screws firmly without cracking the new part. Check the handle sits straight.

Questions about this part

Do I need more than one spacer?

Most handles use a spacer at each end, and our records don't say whether A082473 is sold singly or as a set. Check how many spacers your handle has and whether they're identical, then order the quantity you need.
