Bill, You should be able to remove the two countersunk phillips head screws that hold the handle end cap, that wraps over the top or bottom of the door panel WP2191883, slip the smaller end of the handle off the remaining end cap, and reverse the procedure to install the new handles. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Marilyn! The handle kit W10373956 only includes the handles. You should be able to use the existing hardware. However, here is the parts information for all parts, if needed: For the refrigerator top screw and freezer top and bottom screw order WP488920, you will need to order (3). For the freezer and refrigerator door handle end caps you will need to order (1) 819342. Please note, the end caps are now only available in chrome. All other colors have been discontinued and are no longer available. For the refrigerator handle bottom screw order (1) WP488729 screw and (1) WP1101634 screw cover. For the refrigerator door handle bottom shim order 992872. For the freezer door handle shim order 943187. For the freezer door handle spacer order WP943188. Hope this helps you!
