TO REMOVE FREEZER HANDLE: (FIG. 5-8)
(Handles may be easier to reverse while the doors are off.)
1. Remove two screws attaching the handle to the
bottom of the freezer door.
2. Swing the bottom of the handle away from the door
and slide the handle straight up and off of the dovetail
button.
3. Remove the screw and dovetail button and install
them on the other side, moving the hole plugs from
the corresponding holes to the opposite side.
TO ATTACH THE FREEZER HANDLE:
1. Start with the handle offset away from the door. Place
the top of the handle over the dovetail button, swing
the handle into an upright position and pull
downward, locking it into place.
2. Secure the bottom of the handle with the two screws removed earlier.
TRIM REMOVAL (FULL LENGTH TRIM MODELS ONLY)
In some models, the refrigerator door has a full length trim piece which continues from the bottom of
the handle to the bottom of the door. The top of the trim fits around the base of the handle. An
adhesive “trim lock” is positioned about halfway down. The bottom of the trim is held in place by
either an adhesive trim lock, or a trim lock with two prongs inserted into a hole on the face of the
door.
To remove trim:
3. Remove trim by gently pulling trim lockareas out and away from the door.
4. When the trim is free from the door, slide the trim straight down and away from the base of
the handle.
NOTE: For models with short handle trim, remove it by sliding the trim straight down and
off of the handle bracket.
