Durable construction: Built to withstand daily use with a strong mounting system, so the door remains secure and opening/closing is smooth.

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The refrigerator door handle is loose, wobbles or rattles when the door is opened or closed.
-
The handle has visible scratches, dents, corrosion or finish wear that detract from the appearance of the appliance.
-
The handle is cracked, bent or the mounting brackets are broken—leading to instability.
-
The finish no longer matches the rest of the appliance (for example handle is worn while other trim is intact) — indicating a handle-only replacement may be appropriate.
If any of these symptoms are evident, ask your technician to verify that the handle assembly is the faulty component and that DA64-03945C is correct for your model before ordering.

Important: This is not a comprehensive list. Because door styles, finishes (stainless, black stainless, white), hinge configurations and production years differ, it is essential to verify your appliance’s full model number (often on a label inside the door) and compare the handle’s mounting bracket layout and finish before ordering.
Cross Reference
-
Alternate / earlier part number: AP5306236 is listed as a compatible alternative for DA64-03945C. partselect.com
-
Always confirm mounting hole spacing, overall handle length and finish style (stainless vs matte vs black) as part of the compatibility check.
Compatibility Notes
-
Matching your appliance’s entire model number, including suffix letters (e.g., “XAA”, “XAC”), is crucial. Even if your old handle appears identical, differences in mounting bracket location, handle length or finish may exist.
-
Replacing the handle restores aesthetics and usability only if the door liner, hinge pin and mounting bracket are in good condition. If the door is bent or the liner is cracked, those issues may need repair too.
-
Installation tip: Power to the refrigerator isn’t generally required, but for safety unplug or turn off the appliance. Remove the old handle by unscrewing the mounting screws underneath or inside the upper bracket, detach the old handle, align the new DA64-03945C handle, secure the mounting screws firmly, and then test the door operation. Check for proper clearance and finish match.
-
After installation, monitor for any unusual movement or rattling which can indicate an improperly tightened or mis-aligned bracket.
