How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and cool the unit before working on the door.

  • Access handle screws: Open the door and locate the handle mounting screws from the inside of the door panel.
  • Tighten hardware: Tighten the screws evenly. Do not overtighten to avoid stripping.
  • Inspect handle bracket: If the handle still feels loose, remove it and check for cracks in the handle or bracket. Replace the door handle assembly if damaged.
  • Repair stripped threads: If the door panel threads are stripped, use slightly larger screws or appropriate thread repair inserts as compatible with the door material.
