60140-0007201-00 - Kenmore Refrigerator Door Handle

This Kenmore Refrigerator Door Handle (60140-0007201-00) is a genuine Kenmore part, ensuring compatibility with your Kenmore refrigerator. It is designed to withstand the frequent opening and closing forces, thanks to its sturdy construction, which can be either plastic or metal. The handle features a spring-loaded plunger that works in tandem with the latch to keep your refrigerator door securely closed. When you pull on the handle, it retracts the plunger, allowing the latch to disengage from the strike point on the refrigerator body. This action breaks the seal around the door, providing you with ergonomic access to your refrigerator's contents. The design, position, spring force, and latch interface of the handle are optimized for ease of operation and secure closure. Symptoms indicating it may be time to replace your refrigerator's door handle include difficulty in opening the door, a loose handle, or visible damage or wear to the handle itself. Before purchasing, be sure to verify your refrigerator’s model number to ensure compatibility with this Kenmore part.
