H0070817965D Genuine Freezer Door Handle for Haier HVF Series Upright Freezers, Replacement Door Handle, Haier 0070817965D

Built for Haier's HVF series freezers, H0070817965D is the genuine door handle. A loose or snapped handle makes the door awkward to open and tempts people to pull on the door edge, which strains the gasket. Haier also lists a handle with the same base number and a different final letter, so confirm H0070817965D against your old handle or your model before you order.

When a Haier HVF freezer handle needs replacing

The handle takes the full pull needed to break the door seal every time the freezer is opened. Over the years the fixing points can crack, screws can strip out of their mounts, or the handle can snap after a knock. Signs it is time for a new one include a handle that wobbles, gaps opening up at either end, or one end lifting away from the door. Replacing it early stops people opening the door by the edge or the gasket, which can tear the seal and let frost build up inside.

Fitting the handle

Door handles are usually held by screws, sometimes hidden under end caps or a trim strip. Prise any caps off carefully with a plastic tool, remove the screws and lift the old handle away. Line up the new handle and refit the screws firmly, without overtightening into plastic, then refit the caps. You only need to switch the freezer off if you are taking the door off.
