Dan February 03, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool RM288PXV The button on my door handle broke after 21 years. I ordered a new one (AP3024007) and it came, and is definitely the exact same piece that came out of there, but I can't get it into position in the handle. I'm afraid I'm going to break either the post that pushes the latch, or one of the clips at the top or bottom. What is the secret?
1 Answer Dan, You'll have to remove the door handle(2 screws on inner door panel), or partially dismantle the door, very carefully. Insert the button and spring into the handle, and reinstall the components. You'll do fine. Good Luck and Thanks Read More...
