Difficulty

Easy

Steps

Time Required

Introduction

This is a replacement guide for a Frigidaire Garage Ready Top-Freezer (model number FFHT2022AW). This replacement guide includes a complete replacement of both the freezer door handle and any involved mount pieces.

A mount replacement is only necessary should it warp to the point of no longer connecting properly to the handle.

Both the mount and the screws that attach the handle to the freezer door use the same size Phillips head screwdriver head.

Tools

Phillips screwdriver

Parts

Step 1

Remove the screws keeping the handle in place on the bottom face of the freezer door with a Phillips head screwdriver.

Step 2

Remove any broken pieces of the original freezer handle.
Pushing up on any components attached to the handle mount connected to the bottom of the handle should remove anything still connected to the freezer.
Use caution when handling broken components.

Step 3

Tighten the handle mount at the top of the freezer in place if it is at all loose.
A bent mount may not allow the replacement handle to fully attach to the door. Replace this mount if it is missing or damaged.

Step 4

If the securing mounts at the top or bottom of the freezer handle are damaged, they will need to be removed.
Unscrew the old mount by twisting counterclockwise with a Phillips head screwdriver.
This model has replacement screws available for purchase.

Step 5

Screw in a new mount by twisting clockwise with a Phillips head screwdriver.
The handle mount needs space to properly attach to the handle. Leave some space between the flat part of the mount and the face of the freezer door.

Step 6

Secure a replacement handle in place by locking the mount in the top of the handle.
The mount should slide into a plastic guide on the top of the handle on the side that faces the freezer door.
