Introduction

One of the main problems with these handles is that they are made with flimsy plastic. This means that after a few years of use, the handle might break entirely. When this happens, your dryer machine becomes virtually unusable.

Before using this guide, be sure to practice how to use a rubber mallet and the center punch tool. This is because you’re going to have to use these tools on the door of your dryer machine and it could be tricky if you haven’t had much practice.
