Customer Questions and Answers for Screw Cover (Handle) by Whirlpool

This screw cover conceals the mounting screw at the end of the door handle, restoring a clean, finished look while protecting the fastener. Replace a missing or damaged cap to keep the handle hardware covered and secure.

• Covers the exposed handle screw for a finished appearance
• Helps shield the screw head from dirt and moisture
• Direct replacement for a cracked, broken, loose, or missing cap
• Common signs: visible screw, cap won't stay in place, or cosmetic damage

• Use a plastic pry tool to remove the old cover without scratching nearby surfaces
• Verify the handle screw is properly seated; adjust/tighten as needed before installing the cover
• Align the new cover with the opening and press until it snaps flush
• Avoid overtightening the handle screw; excessive torque can prevent the cover from seating
