Door handle on 2dr model GS6SHAXMB00 is loose on the top and it will not slide up and off like the reference book shows. How to fix

1. Open the dishwasher door and locate the screws on the inside of the door that hold the handle in place. There should be two screws, one at the top and one at the bottom.
2. Using a screwdriver, tighten both screws by turning them clockwise. If the screws are loose, this should fix the problem.
3. If the screws are tight and the handle is still loose, you may need to remove the handle and add a washer or two to create a tighter fit. To do this, remove the screws holding the handle in place and slide the handle off the studs.
4. Add a washer or two to each stud and slide the handle back on. Reattach the screws and test the handle to ensure it is now secure.
5. If these steps do not solve the problem, there may be an issue with the door itself,

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.

Gently slide the handle up until it releases. Then slightly turn the screw underneath it, and slide the handle back on. Do this until it fits properly.

If the slide arm is just loose, you should be able to tighten it, as long as the arm wasn't rivited in place.

hello kyler.... Empty out the contents of the door of the fridge. Then pull up the gasket and under that you will see screws. Remove those screws and the entire inside of the door is released exposing the screws to tighten the handle. Joe

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

There is a plastic card that came with the refrigerator. Pull the handle towards you and slide the card between the door and handle on the top side of the lower handle. Slide the card until it stops, I believe its 11/16". Next slide the handle upward to release it. It may take some force to release the handle. Once its removed, you will see a bracket on the handle. In my case, the screws were loose. Tighten the screws and replace the handle and its fixed. To reinstall the handle, line up the handle with the brackets on the door. Slide down until you here a click that indicates that the handle is installed properly.

Depending on the model, and the color, here's your fix.

Stainless with stainless handles- you'll need a hex key. The tiny hole is on the inside of the handle, close to the center. Turn the key until it's tightened.

Stainless with black handle/white/bisque/black- push the door handle up. Careful not to scratch the finish! once the handle pops, pull it straight off. Take a phillips head screw driver, tighten the top screw A LITTLE BIT and then attach again. Insert screws on the door into the holes on the handle, slide down. (will need to be a little tough with it.)
Good luck!
