A direct-replacement door handle that restores a fridge or freezer door grip to like-new function and appearance. Durable molded construction gives a solid grip for opening and closing the appliance door. What it does:

• Replaces a worn, cracked or broken door handle so the door can be opened and closed safely and easily.
• Provides the correct mounting points and shape to match the original handle for a secure fit.
• Restores cosmetic appearance when the original handle is damaged or discolored.
• Helps prevent further cabinet or door damage caused by using a damaged handle.

• Typically fastens with screws or snaps into existing mounts; keep original fasteners if reusing.
• Turn power off to nearby electrical components and remove food from the door area if required by your model before working.
• Handle and mounting surfaces may be plastically molded — avoid over-tightening screws to prevent cracking.

• Covers the opening to maintain a finished appearance and help keep out dust
• Helps reduce drafts or uneven airflow caused by cracked or missing louvers
• Can prevent contact with internal components behind the vent

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work
• Typically secures with a few screws or clips; remove trim or access panel as needed
• Handle gently to avoid cracking the plastic; align tabs/slots and fasten securely
