Attached is view of crack on top of handle for main compartment of refrigerator. Refrigerator works fine - want to repair ugly crack. Already checked for handle part online with no success. What can I use to fix the crack (it's only on top, not all the way through).
I don't have a answer but we have had 2 handles to break just like that and we are seniors that are not swinging on the doors. They are not under warranty and only 6 years old. They are over $100.00 to buy. This is Crazy
Don't know if this will help but my dad's solution to most things is to use JB Weld.

Use two part epoxy. JB Weld is the best.
Try gorilla glue
Try flex glue
Black electrical tape (your choice of color) on both handles to match.
Most people don't think about this but call the junk yard and see if they have old units. You can contact your electric company also because people have them pick up old units when they buy new ones. If you only need the handle, places like that usually sell for minimal cost
