How to Disassemble the Door Handle on a Frigidaire GLHS66EJW

The Frigidaire GLHS66EJW refrigerator-freezer has a seamless plastic handle that blends into the plastic trim without any visible screw holes. To clean behind the handle or install a replacement piece of trim you need to remove some pieces of the door. The exterior parts of the refrigerator are susceptible to damage because they are the most handled parts of the appliance. These instructions are straightforward enough to memorize for future reference.
