Like Irene, the handle on my Kyoto upright freezer (about 8 years old) is about to fall off. I have had no luck tracing down a spare, although I have found out that this brand is made by Brandt. Anyone know if a handle is available or if one of the universal handles will work? I really don't want to repace it unless I have to.

Any help would be gratefully received!

Hi Irene

I managed to track down a handle from Brandt, it looks right but it hasn't arrived yet so can't confirm it will be OK. Yours might be the same handle?

Here is the info they sent me and their website. Hope you get it sorted out.
