This handle works on both the fridge and freezer door, and if yours has become damaged it should be replaced. This is a genuine OEM replacement part, and is sold individually. If you need to replace both handles, please be sure to order the correct quantity. This is an easy repair that requires the use of a Phillips screwdriver. If the old handle is still attached to the door, remove the two screws (located at the top of the fridge door, or bottom of the freezer door) and then slide the opposite end off of the single screw. When attaching the new handle, do this in the opposite order. Slide the keyhole in the handle onto the individual screw on the door, then line up the other end of the handle and insert the two screws to secure the handle to the door.

The original freezer handle 530-450-6469 had a sharp corner that could hurt one’s head upon coming up when reaching for a lower shelf in the refrigerator. I replaced it with door handle 218428101 which has a tapered end.
To take out the old handle, you simply take out the screws from the bottom and then you rotate the handle counterclockwise, and it released the top part of the handle from that screw hook. To put on the new handle I just did the reverse but since my new handle was not the official handle for the fridge, it did not fit the old screw holes
... Read morebut it did coincide with other screw holes that were plugged. I did not yet drill the screws into the new plugged area but just put on duct tape and it seems to be holding just fine. If I cared about the aesthetics, I would just drill the holes into the plugged screw holes.
slid old handle up to disengage from upper screw and installed new handle on existing upper screw and installed 2 screws in bottom flange on upper door. 5 minutes tops
tripped in kitchen and hit the door handle and broke it away from the screw.
I first watched the video showing how to replace the door and when I got the part, remembered how they fixed it and did it myself. It was very easy and made me feel good that I didn't have to call anyone in to help me. Thank you.
- remove two top screws completely, make sure lower screw is turned all the way in to it's shoulder, slide the lower part of the handle over the lower screw with the top at the 6-oclck position, rotate the handle clockwise until the top screw holes line up, install the top screws.
