WR12X27379 - GE Refrigerator Door Handle

The Door Handle (WR12X27379) is a genuine part manufactured by GE for use in their refrigerators. It's sometimes referred to as the refrigerator door handle or the door grip. This part is essential for the secure opening and closing of your refrigerator door. It's connected to an internal latching mechanism and typically contains a spring-loaded plunger that interfaces with the latch.

When you pull the handle, it retracts the plunger and disengages the latch from the strike point on the refrigerator body, allowing the door to swing open. Made of sturdy plastic or metal, the handle is designed to withstand frequent use and provide an ergonomic means for you to access the contents of your refrigerator.

If your refrigerator door is difficult to open, or if the handle is loose or broken, it may be time to replace this part. The handle's design, position, spring force, and latch interface are optimized for easy operation and secure door closure.

Please remember that the specific location and function of this part may vary based on your refrigerator's model number. Before purchasing, verify your device's model number for compatibility.
