Model #GSS25TSTASS GE side by side handle loose

I believe the door handle slides up after you get the screw out

There is two allen set screws for each hand at both end and they are facing each other on the handles.. Remove the allen screw and put a very minute speck of jelly on each screw---small-small amount. This will kept the set screws from loosen up. GB...stewbison

Hi,


1. off the upper and lower ends with flat plastic or apadded flat head screw driver so as not to scratch your stainless steel. Atwisting wrist action will suffice. 2. Now the screws are exposed, you can re-tighten them. 3. Replace the plastic covers starting with the base whichhas a small plastic the goes into a slot in the main handle. Then glide therest forward and it snaps in effortlessly.

Thank you for using fixya have a nice day:-)

If it's the same as the one we have (which is similar to the pic posted on yours) there's a plastic piece on the top and bottom of the handle that you have to pry up (gently) to get to them.
It looks like a line that runs horizontal across the handle, but it should come up with a little force (meaning it shouldn't require tools). You have to pry it from the side, not the top or bottom.

If the screws aren't obvious, they will be locater under a pop out plug on under a nameplate on the handle.

Can you give me the model number? Ther are alot of variation of handles.

If a tight place is worn out, then try warmer temperature and go to the tools store to place the door with your new tools.

What is the model number on the rating plate inside the appliance ??

When you tighten the screws do they feel tight or kind of lose? The holes or screws may be striped. If so, try larger screws or some sort of anchor in the holes.

weavie, this is one of those ugly little problems. Get hold of a small screwdriver, a pointy knife blade or similar and stick it into the gap, however small, between the cap and the handle. You may be able to find a small indent or similar near the bottom side of the cap. Gently pry up. It will yield. Be patient.
