Fridge Handles

July 01, 2018, 10:47:38 am

I'm searching for a set of fridge handles for a Dometic 7030 or 7130 Fridge. Mine are both broke and they are no longer available and hard to find. If you have an old fridge and don't need the handles. I would gladly purchase.

Those damn handles were the achilles heel of a otherwise fine fridge. I lost count how many we broke, but our old time RV outlet always stocked them. You are prolly going to blow a day on Google, but some of the funky outlets mite still have them. You can bet, with our fairly fresh Dometic, we operate those handles with kid gloves!

Mike your right, the fridge is great except for the handles. I'm going to try and make handles using the broken grab handles. the latching pieces are gone. It wont be pretty but maybe I can get the doors to latch. Fortunately the doors close really well and seal good, so even while travelling the doors stay closed.

Maybe we can find someone with a 3D printer and make copies of them from the originals..

Just a thought.

Hans that would be great. I'm sure many have the same problem I do. Its a shame to discard aa good fridge because the handles were a poor design.

Here are a couple of place that do 3D printing of parts.  Give them a call.
