Description
Fridge handle broke, oh no! Not really sure which refrigerators these would be compatible with but if your handle looks like this one maybe it will fit your needs, it seems from some cursory online research most Frigidaire refrigerators use the same handle configuration. The insert is heavier duty than the original part, I recommend printing it in the toughest material you have on hand if you plan to use this as a long term fix. I used PLA but at some point plan to remake the parts in PC. If you have an Anker M5 I would be happy to share my pretty successful PC settings with you, it is capable of doing polycarbonate with a bit of finagling even without a proper enclosure. The cap should be glued to the top of the handle where it screws into the top of the door in order to ensure it stays in place. I plan to update the model soon with more refined geometry that fits the profile of the top of the original handle exactly, but even without glue the current model for the cap holds tightly enough to make the handle functional and prevent it from separating.
