Description

This handle spacer positions and secures a dishwasher or appliance door handle, keeping the handle aligned and preventing rubbing or binding for smooth door operation. It's a small replacement piece that restores proper handle fit. What it does:

• Provides a stable mounting gap between the handle and door/frame to ensure correct alignment
• Prevents handle contact with the door surface that can cause wear or noise
• Restores proper spacing after a broken, worn, or missing spacer
• Suitable when the handle feels loose, sits crooked, or rubs against the door

What's included:

• One handle spacer

Install notes:

• Install with the appliance door open on a stable surface; follow the appliance manufacturer's fastening sequence
• Use hand tools only unless the OEM instructs otherwise; avoid overtightening fasteners
• Disconnect power or follow manufacturer safety instructions when required for handle removal
