Fridge handle broke when someone grabbed it to break a fall.
I measured the new handle against the door and cut it with a hack saw. I slid the new bottom end cap on the handle, unscrewed the broken one, slid the handle into the top cap and screwed the bottom to the door. Everything fit, even the new cap to cover the screw. Piece of cake.
I am really surprised and pleased that you guys had these parts. I'm checking out a pull-chain toilet and a ringer washing machines next. You may hear from me again. Thanks.

fridge door switch did not work
I removed the switch housing (4 screws), replacing the switch in the housing was a snap. It took 5 minutes, cost $8 and light works like new!
Why didn't I order this part and do the repair earlier? Very simple.
