Janet S Indianapolis , IN June 03, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator TFH24PRSAAA Handles on refrigerator were worn paint had rubbed off I purchased new handles, watched the instruction video, and installed the handles. This was for a 1993 GE Profile refrigerator. I love the fridge, but the worn handles looked bad, so I decided it would be a lot cheaper to replace the handles than to spend about $1000+ for a new refrigerator. I was delighted to see that APP.com had replacement handles in the almond color. It took me a while to get the first one installed because I had trouble removing the trim above the handle. Once I got that figured out, the rest was pretty easy. Things went well and new handles look great.

Kenneth L Santa Rosa , CA July 20, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator TFH24PRSMAA The door handle had gradually gotten stained over the years with no obvious way to clean it We bought new handles from APP which came faster than buying locally (they weren't in stock locally). They were from the manufacturer (GE) and were slightly different than the originals but look fine. The old ones had a small relief in the back for a protrusion on the door; the new ones had no relief. A regular drill and bit made the needed space, and the handle fit perfectly. It's slightly narrower, but it's of absolutely no consequence. The part package included the handles for both the refrigerator and the freezer. We replaced both so they look matched, even though the freezer handle was not stained. We're happy! The only trick is to use the corner of a putty knife or a wide screwdriver blade to pop straight out the top of the trim strip above the handle, and the bottom of the trim strip below the handle. For the top strip, push the soft trim down then out. Then the trim strip, minus the metal strip holder, pulls straight out and off. The metal holder stays in place for the whole project. It takes a torx screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold the handle in place. It's a quick job once you know what to expect. Read More...

Walt T Milton , FL January 15, 2015 Appliance: General Electric Refrigerator TFX27PFXFAA Handles worn out and stained after 18yrs of constant use / listed as obsolete and could not find the parts Replaced the handles with purchase from your store - was not sure how to remove the trim so started at the end that appeared the most accessible and removed trim molding by prying up on the end ( farthest away from the handle ) and lifting out of the channel. Then used torx bit driver to remove the screws that retain the handles. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers, Screwdrivers
