SOURCE: refridgerator door handle

The entire handle slides upward and out to detach from the door. There are two screws attached to the handle which can be tightened once the handle is off. Those screw heads are what reattach the handle to the door by sliding them through the door bracket opening, where they follow a short channel down leaving the handle secured again.

SOURCE: Refrigerator won't fit thru door.

I ran into the same problem when I moved into my old house. the door way was to small, so I had to take both doors off the refrigerator to get it through the doorway. But I found out when I moved out of the house, that I was able to open both doors and wiggle it through the doorway. It was a hassle but it was alot easier that removing the doors. Good luck.

SOURCE: My side by side refrigerator handles are loose (Whirlpool gold)

Hi, Most newer models have a screw behind the plastic cover on the handle. Take a good look at the handle and see if the cover can be removed. It should just snap on. If not, please get me you model # and I can assist you further.

Thanks
Vic

See if you can unscrew the handle at the bottom, and slide it off the top bracket. Then you should be able to tighten the top screws and re-install the handle.

Door handle on my freezer I swear loose. GE profile model PDSFOMFXARWW

Door handles on appliances , like outside handles on cars & trucks, are held on by screws inside the door.
You would need to completely dismantle ( take apart) the lid of the freezer, including removing the inner liner and the insulation to access the screws, that you might tighten them.
You are looking at a big job, because you must the reassemble it! And, you should not need to swear.
God bless your efforts.

Samsung French door fridge freezer handle came loose. The ***** on the right side fell into the back of the handle attachment so it won't go flush with the fridge.

Hello Marilyn;



My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.



You did not provide a model number which is located on a label on the inside liner of your fresh food section.



Usually the door handles are held on in one of two ways.



1.) Inspect the sides of the door handles. Are there small allen wrench screws - tighten them.

2.) Ok, no screws on the side. There are mounting brackets screwed onto the door. At times the screws become loose. Use a little muscle and pull the handle up hard to release from the bracket. Tighten the screws on the bracket to the door. Position the handle back on the bracket and pull the handle down hard until secure.

Need to remove door handles in order to get it through the door.

You have to remove the screws under the magnetic door seal . The inner side of the door seal will
lift up enough so that you can get to the screws.the screws hold the door seal and the inner plastic liner in place.When you have removed enough screws, you will be able to pull the liner out so you can get to the screws holding the door handle on.

Loose handle on door

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.

Loose freezer door handle

Maytag uses two types of door handle mounts. first look at the bottom side of door handle to see if there are tiny set screws. If there is you might just have to tighten them with an allen wrench. If it doesn't you need to grasp the handle firmly and pull it towards your left, sometimes they can be a little stubburn and require a light wrap with a rubber mallet. This will remove the handle. In this case there will be a clip inside the handle end, check to see if it is bent or if the handle itself is cracked, although I have seen some where the handle mount has become loose and that can be tighted by turning clockwise.
