Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, it is crucial to verify that your washing machine model is listed as compatible. This handle is designed for specific models within the FAGOR, Newpol, Teka, Telefunken, and Orima brands (e.g., Fagor FE7210B, FE7212A, FE7212B, FE7214A, FE7214B; Newpol 12NEMES81AS; Orima ORM128; Teka TK31490WD, TK31490WDEXP; Telefunken 16TLK8100DPCA). Refer to your appliance's model number, typically found on a sticker inside the door or on the back of the machine.
Setup:
- Ensure the washing machine is unplugged from the power source for safety.
- Carefully remove any broken pieces of the old handle.
- Depending on the design, you may need to unscrew or unclip the surrounding door trim to access the handle mechanism.
- Detach the old lever from its mounting point.
- Attach the new Ufixt door handle lever, ensuring it is securely seated.
- Reassemble any trim or components removed in step 3.
- Test the new handle to ensure it operates smoothly before plugging the machine back in.
Care:
- Clean the handle with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic.
- Do not force the handle; if it feels stiff, re-check the installation for obstructions.
