What You Will Need:
Step 1 – Safety Advice
Safety First! Please make sure that you have disconnected the appliance from the mains before beginning any repair.
Step 2 – Separating the Door
With the cooker turned off turn your attention to the door which has the faulty handle. You will need to separate the outer panel of the door and to do this you will need to remove the four screws holding it together.
Two screws are located at the top and two at the bottom, using a screwdriver will help release the inner and outer panel. Be mindful of the glass inside the door separating the door as you don’t want to be replacing the door assembly.
Step 3 – Removing the Old Handle
With the door safely rested on a counter or suitable surface, you can next begin to remove the nuts which hold the handle in place. Using a nut spinner or pair pliers carefully undo the nuts and also remember to hold on to the washers as these will be required when fitting the new handle.
Step 4 – New Handle
Once the old handle has been removed, you can now fit the new handle. Taking your handle move it into position and place the washers and then thread the nuts into position. Using your pliers or nut spinner tighten the nuts to ensure the handle is secure and doesn’t wobble.
Step 5 - Reassembly
New handle fitted and is secure you can now fit the outer panel to the inner door. Once lined up you can fit the screws and tighten them using your screwdriver.
And voila your Rangemaster cooker door can continue to effortlessly open and close without the concern of a loose door handle breaking and damaging the door.
