Installation is very easy and rated as a beginner-level DIY repair. All you need is a standard Phillips screwdriver. The job typically takes 10–15 minutes total for both handles. Simply remove the old screws, pull off the old handle, align the new handle, and re-secure with the screws. No refrigerator disassembly or special tools required.
