Ge WR12X869 Refrigerator Door Handle Kit, White OEM Part

The white had worn off the refrigerator and freezer door handles exposing the dingy yellow underneath. Because it was a soft vinyl material, I didn't think paint would work. The replacement parts arrived two days after ordering. Accessing the door handle screws involved removing two pieces of trim by wedging a narrow bladed screwdriver into the top joint between the white trim and the chrome channel and gently prying the trim outward and down toward me until it popped out of the channel. I ran the screwdriver down the trim until it was all out. Repeated on the botton trim piece starting from the bottom. The handle was held on by two screws each through a piece of chrome trim and the handle. I removed the screws and replaced the handle with the new one. The handle fit perfectly with the old chrome trim when screwed back on. I replaced the white trim by sliding it into the handle groove and then pressing it back into the channel with a fist. It snapped in cleanly and lined up nicely. Refrigerator is 20 years old and now looks new.

We located two new handles on your website and they were delivered to us in a few days. They have made a world of difference in how the refrigerator looks now! We love the end result!

Through Youtube we found this website in the search to figure out what to do with our refrigerator handles. They made it so easy. We watched the clips, ordered the handles through this company. It shipped immediately. We were able to install the new handles and the refrigerator looks brand new.

This was the easiest job that I have done in a long time!!

Slide a butter knife from small gap at trim located at top of refrigerator door. Slide the rounded edge of knife between the white inset and chrome trim which secures the handles/white inset trim. The white inset trim then removed easily while keeping the outer/chrome trim in place. I noticed the location for screws on the replacement handles and then also ran the rounded edge of the butter knife between the two separate (upper and lower) chrome trim pieces located above/below each door handle of my side-by-side refrigerator. This revealed the white plastic handles and the screws holding the white handles in place at top and bottom of each handle. It was a 6-point star bit that I used to reverse drill and remove those screws. Swapped out the new (hard white plastic) handles which fit perfectly and were the exact dimensions and look as the prior handles (for the soft foam handles being replaced). Assembled in reverse order of how I disassembled. This took no longer than 15min to complete. Looks like new, seats perfectly in door space it was designed for and functions perfectly. [DIDN'T USE PLIERS - BUT THIS FORM WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO SUBMIT WITHOUT SELECTING AN OPTION IN ADDITION TO 'OTHER' -- I ONLY USED A BUTTERKNIFE AND A 6PT DRILL BIT W/DRILL.
