Is it repairable/replaceable? Will we need an entirely new door? The door can be opened now by pushing up on the door base. Is it cost effective to replace door or is it time to get a new one? :confused:

This part is not too difficult to replace yourself if you know how to handle a simple tools. - The part number for the black door handle is AP3184331 Gene.

I will be ordering the handle, however, I looked at the inner side of the door and am not sure how to replace handle. Could you please direct me to any drawings and instructions/video clips on changing the door handle. Just want to make sure I don't damage the door or cause leaks. Thanks in advance, Satish

Looks like it is hidden underneath another layer, which looks like it is attached by screws. Do I take out the trim completely from the door? and unscrew the next layer? Do you have access to any diagrams? Please help! Thanks, Satish

I removed the screws but the panel is not coming off. How do you get to the bottom screw of the door handle? Need diagram, video or instructions of some sort. Please advise or I will have to send back the handle for a full refund including s/h. Thanks, Rpincus Originally Posted by: satish Hi Gene, I received the handle.
