That is insanely expensive for a plastic door handle. I would whittle one out of wood, or just do without.
It's funny. When our fridge stopped working last year I looked behind it and found the condenser fan had stopped turning. Thank God we were able to find a replacement motor for $26, and there were videos of people doing the job on YouTube. The fridge is this ugly big beast that my grandfather bought, but replacing it was going to be $2000! Then there's the added expense (and time) of renting a truck big enough to throw it away...
Yeah I might need to make a wooden one soon-ish. I don’t expect the glue to hold for long.
I’m glad you got it fixed up for so cheap! Hopefully it’ll last you several years more.
