A stainless-steel handle fastener that secures the refrigerator door handle to the door assembly for a solid, wobble-free grip. Use to restore a loose, stripped, or missing handle attachment point. What it does:
- Secures the door handle to the door/handle mounting point so the handle stays tight and aligned.
- Stops handle movement, wobbling, or rattling caused by a worn or missing fastener.
- Replaces a corroded or damaged fastener to restore a secure connection.
- Stainless finish resists corrosion at the handle mounting point.
What's included: One stainless-steel handle fastener. Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before starting work whenever access to internal parts is required.
- Use the correct screwdriver or bit; turn carefully and avoid sideways force on the handle.
- Do not overtighten—over-torquing can strip threads or crack surrounding trim.
- Keep removed hardware and any trim pieces for reassembly; inspect handle and threaded inserts for damage.

Presto. Problem gone. Don't put excessive weight...
