For the KSCS25INMS03, there are set screw on the top and bottom of the handle for the freezer. The screws are visible from the side of the handle facing the refrigerator section of the side-by-side design. See the freezer door parts diagram for your model. One model parts diagram is here: https://www.kitchenaid.com/digitalassets/MLPDF/Repair%20Part%20List%20-%20W10128953.pdf .
Sometimes the studs that the handle mounts to become loose themselves. If you remove the handle entirely and look at the studs, they will have either a phillips head or they will be hex-headed so you can tighten them. Carefully snug the studs down (do not over-tighten) and re-install the handle. This should solve your problem.
The door handles mount on hex bolts sticking out of the door, the door handles have key hole inserts that match with the bolts. The door handles are then slid in one direction to lock the handles in place. Removal is the reverse. To tighten the door handle screw the bolt out enough that you can still put the handle over the bolt heads and slide the handle to lock the handle in place.
There is a plastic card that you are supposed to slide under the right side of the handle. Once you have done this correctly the whole handle should slide off to the left.
Called and watched mechanic who clipped of top and bottom covers with a screw driver then tightened both screws and replaced covers. Cost was $100 but I could have wrecked the door. Needs a special little star shaped screw driver head with ratchet fitting. Now equipped for next time.
I had the same problem. It took me an hour to figure out that the bottom freezer handles clips onto the door using butterfly clips. To tighten the clips you have to remove the handle by sliding it to the right (or left??) It snaps right out with a quick **** exposing the clips underneath. A quick tightening of the clips and the handle snaps back in.
