• Provides a secure handhold to open and close the refrigerator door
• Replaces cracked, loose, or missing handles that affect door operation or appearance
• Maintains proper clearance and alignment for normal door movement
• Helps prevent injury from sharp or broken handle edges

• Use the appliance power and water disconnect procedure recommended by the manufacturer before beginning work

• Tighten screws evenly to avoid misalignment or cosmetic damage
• If door or trim is bent or damaged, inspect assemblies before installing the new handle

This refrigerator door gasket seals the door to the cabinet to keep cold air in and moisture out. Replacing a worn or deformed gasket restores a reliable seal, steadier temperatures, and more efficient performance.

• Creates an air-tight seal around the door perimeter
• Helps maintain correct temperatures and reduce frost or condensation
• Supports proper door closing and overall cooling efficiency
• Replace if the gasket is torn, cracked, warped, hardened, or leaves gaps; if the door pops open; or if you see moisture/frost along the door edge

• Disconnect power; remove items from the door bins for access
• Pull the old gasket from the retainer; transfer/loosen corner screws if applicable
• Warm the new gasket (hot water or low-heat hair dryer) to relax it; seat the lip evenly, corners first
• Close the door and check for uniform contact; adjust with gentle heat and by leveling/hinge alignment if needed; allow up to 24 hours for the gasket to fully conform

The Threaded Handle Anchor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is essential for securely attaching the refrigerator door handle to the door, ensuring that it remains firmly in place during regular use. The anchor fits into the door and provides a threaded connection point for the handle screws, offering stability and ease of use.

Common causes of a bad threaded handle anchor include wear and tear from frequent use, cross-threading during installation, or physical damage from excessive force or impact.

Symptoms of a bad threaded handle anchor include:

• The refrigerator door handle feeling loose or unstable
• Difficulty securing the handle to the door
• The handle detaching from the door
• Visible damage or stripping on the anchor threads

This OEM part is also compatible with some Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
