How to tighten the door handle on a Ge GSL25JFTABS refrigerator

You have to tighten the small set screws shown in this diagram http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-number/GE-Parts/Refrigerator-Parts/WR01X10450/0046/363/Model-GSH25JSXNSS/0432/0165000?keySuffixId=NA&pathTaken=partSearch&pathRender=modelComponent&documentCompId=G1203489&diagramPageId=00001&productTypeId=0165000&searchModelNumber=GSH25JSXNSS&subCompDesc=Freezer%20door&brandDesc=GE&modelDesc=REFRIGERATOR-X-SERIES&blt=11&shdMod=

look for a small hole on one side of the handle. There should be a set screw there you can tighten. (the handle attaches to a ball shaped peg under the handle, and does not attach from the inside of the door)

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.

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.

I just FINALLY fixed mine...  Popped little cover pieces off top and bottom of handle with a plastic bread bag tag slid along space created by loose handle (did not scratch finish on door).  That exposed the screws which could be tightened with a phillips screw driver; the cover pieces then snap back on the ends of the handle.

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

do the covers pop off to tighten screws on the 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.

try removing the handle, that will expose the mounts for the handle. You should be able to tighten them after removing the handle.

I was actually trying to find a solution to this problem myself though I'm pretty sure I already know the solution. Try this: grip the handle that's loose firmly and jerk it up. The handle should come up and the straight out to reveal the spring clip mechanism holding the handle on. Tighten the screws on this and then put the handle back on by pushing it towards the fridge and jerking it down. You make want to protect the fridge above and below were the handle attaches so you don't scratch the fridge door when pulling the handle on or off.
