SOURCE: Loose handle

yes , on most freezers the door inner panel liner needs to be removed , that will sometimes require the removal of the door gasket that may be old to the point where it to needs replacing. then finally you can get to the back side of the door and snug up the screws that hold the handle from the back. usually fine thread screws. be sure to apply loc tite and snug up good , we don't want to do this again any time soon. you can take a chance and try pulling out the handle and cutting the screws and then drill the hole in the handle out to where you see a hole in the side of the handle from the front, then counter sink the hole and use a drill screw or a small toggle bolt to resecure the handle . no real wires or refigeration tubes in the door, so its an option. good luck

The screws usually go from inside out and are under the inside panel. Unless you have the universal handles that switch sides and there is a screw on to and one on bottom.

The handle covers can be slid off straight up for the top one and straight down for the bottom one you'll get some resistance but they will go.

SOURCE: Loose handle

bottom of handle is a screw hidden behind a square little sticker thing. use a small screwdriver to pry it out. take out screw and then push handle upwards and it will come off a clip which you can now tighten. then snap top secti0on of handle back onto clip and then lower screw secures it.

Door handle has come loose

I think you can just use a quick dry super adhesive glue to hold the handle in place.

The handle is loose, how do we take the covers off so we can tighten the screws?

I had this same problem with one of my refrigerators. Most refrigerators that do not have a screw you can access will clip on to the door. Be careful because this may not be one you can do, but you should at least try. All I did was pull up firmly on the handle and it shifted up and the mounting hardware for the handle had 2 screws in it. I tightened the screws back down and clipped the handle back on. I am not an appliance pro, I am only speaking thru my own experience. Please be careful when you do this. If you feel it is too risky, then wait for a response from a pro.

Change doors of fridge freezer from right opening to left opening needless to say cannot find instructions after 10 years

tilt unit backwards,and under hinge side you will see a bracket,undo bolts and transfer to opposite side leaving loose,slide door down ,then on top of door transfer plug to opposite side(if needed)slide door back up and refit bottom hinges/tighten bolts.
handle is just a matter of prising plastic cover of and unscrewing,then refitting to other side.
once you tip it backward its pretty obvious really.

Have an Amana Side by side refrig/freezer (model ACD2234HRS) that has a loose refrig door handle. How do you get access to tighten the door handle screws?

i believe there are plastic coverings that just pop off. they are located at the hinge,you will need to fully open the doors to get to them.
