Thank you.
Byron Busch Byron, The parts diagram,doesn't have a separate part number for the handle, only a complete door, Part number: AP4238692
But as the handle is only loose, you should be able to dismantle the door, install a couple of flat washers and tighten it up, and save a lot of money ??? Grille Removal
