Hi, Alan! Thank you for this inquiry and for reaching out. Removing refrigerator door handles is usually a straightforward process, but it depends on the brand and model of the fridge. 1.) You’ll need a hex key (Allen wrench). 2.) Look at the base of the handles or along their sides. Most modern fridges hide the screws behind plastic caps or trim pieces. 3.) Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off any decorative trim or covers. Be careful not to scratch the surface. 4.) Once the screws or bolts are exposed, use the appropriate tool to unscrew them. Hold the handle securely as you do this to prevent it from falling. 5.) Some handles are attached with a clip or sliding mechanism. After loosening the screws, you might need to slide the handle up or down to release it. 6.) Put the screws, covers, and handles in a safe place so they’re easy to reinstall later.

If not, you might need to remove the doors themselves. Goodluck! ~Juan
