Beautiful fridge, but flawed handles

We bought this fridge for the look, design and features. It was not cheap, but apparently the handles are cheaply made as they fell of within the first month of installation!

Terrible Handles - Don't Stay On

These handles are terrible. Consistent with all of the other reviews on here, the handles on the two freezer drawers just do not stay on. I LOVE this fridge but am so disappointed with the handles. We've currently been living with packaging tape holding on our two bottom handles for months because creating a claim and getting someone to come all the way out to look at handles (how silly) is near impossible. The set screws just do not hold up and it's just a bad design. Really disappointed because this prevents me from completely loving our fridge!

Horrible Quality Handles

Handles were installed yesterday and fell off immediately. They fell off immediately. The screws do not tighten all the way. One handles threads are already stripped. Horrible quality.

These handles are no bueno! They come away from the doors easily, leaving a gap. I™™ve tried tightening and ended up stripping the freezer handle. Ordered new handles but didn™™t want a complete set so ordered a different set and they don™™t fit. So still have a missing handle on the freezer. Our kitchen is stainless but might just go to that original gold color on everything and put on the original handles back on. Maybe the OG™™s are better?
The fridge though is BEAUTIFUL.

Gorgeous fridge, but NO screws to install handles

GE - get your act together! Neither the original handles or the SS handle kit upgrade I purchased for nearly an additional $400 had screws with it. So now I have to wait to get screws to install the handles. Really stupid move GE....REALLY disappointing. Now I have to bug the supplier to get more screws. Bad enough having to wait so long due to supply chain issues, but at least provide everything needed to put the handles on.

I™™ve had the refrigerator for one week. The vertical left handle came off in no time. I™™ve tried to tighten it but it either pulls away from the refrigerator, leaving a gap or doesn™™t tighten enough and comes off again. Love everything else so far but these handles weren™™t designed right. Looks like I™™m not alone.

I received my beautiful new refridgerator, but I can't put the handles on the french doors. The set screws stripped out so quickly on both vertical handles. This is definitely a design or material flaw. It stripped immediately or was already stripped when I received it.

Hole for set screw defective

Took delivery of the refrigerator. Overall very impressive. Went to open ftreezer and one side of the door handle came off! Retightened set screw which refutesed to tighten. Removed both set screws. Can see the side that refuses to hold has a hole that is machined incorrectly resulting in no pressure against the post. Fixed with electrical tape for now but not happy

Handles are strong and great looking. Set screws for handles are too short.
