Whirlpool WHIRLPOOL 2206934B DOOR HANDLE

Whirlpool WHIRLPOOL 2206934B DOOR HANDLE
  • THIS WHIRLPOOL 2206934B DOOR HANDLE WORKS WITH MANY WHIRLPOOL AND OTHER BRAND REFRIGERATOR/FREEZERS

Our fridge is the Kenmore Elite (made by Whirlpool) with black sides and what would normally be called 'black' plastic handles & trim. We had to return this part because it was very dark black and didn't match. We reordered the "gray" (J code) and that color matches. The gray is very dark charcoal gray, however. I'm giving 4 stars because it was impossible to tell the color difference from the pictures or the description.

Also, both boxes were ripped open at one end (delivered by USPS). The black-black one was loose in the box and fell out when I picked it up off the porch. The grey-black one had been wrapped in a UPS (not USPS) bag and jammed into the box so it wouldn't fall out.

The part slides in after you slide off the trim above and below the old handle. It is the same exact shape so it would not be conspicuous if not for the fact that the color was noticably off (black instead of dark gray). This is the 2nd replacement handle I've installed in a little over a year. That and the fact that the Whirlpool condensor coils underneath are notoriously impossible to clean and remove dust (just Google 'how to clean dust from refrigerator coils) gives me the impression that these things were designed to fail to sustain the company. Oh well...

I've got a Whirlpool fridge with this stupid handle on it.. and in less than a year I've broken two of them. Sears wants between $50 and $75 a piece for these things, and shipping costs extra and takes two weeks. Why pay that money when you can get the same part here for half the money, and have it in hand in two days? I'd give this a 5-Star rating if I thought it had any better chance of surviving and not breaking.. but.. I know this is a flawed design.
