Door handles loosen - KitchenAid Architect Series II KSSO42QTX 42" Built-In Side-By-Side Refrigerator with In-Door-Ice Dis...

there is only one screw on the handles from what i found out from fixing my loose handle. the bottom of the door handle has one screw. once you loosen that one up then you lift it and it comes out at the top enough to slide the handle out and tighten it.

The actuating bar (the push rod) that actually works the lock was not properly sized. They are very finicky. If you cut it just a bit too long or too short it will cause all kinds of problems.

Wobbly door handles are the result of loosened screws / bolts. ON side x sides, there is usually trim above and below the door handles that can be slid off away from the handles to expose these screws.

You need a Torx head screwdriver T25. Open the door and on the side of the door is a small black grommet, remove grommet, inside is the torx screw you need to loosen for the lock mechanism to move. you dont need to remove the screw just loosen enough to move the lock assembly around. Once loose enough, install the door handle and tighten lock assembly back and put grommet back.
Here is a picture if you need a bit of visual clues.

There should be one or more hex shaped keys within the door handle, usually on the side or bottom of the handle. Simply loosen them up and the handle should pop right off.

There is normally some screws in the handle door that stick to door panel,also you may need to remove manual window handle..(depends if this applies here)...

Hi, Please get me the model # from the label inside the refrigerator and I will look this up for you. Most handles have a set screw that tightens down.
