The handle is no longer available, but a device with the same function that fits refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator/freezer combinations is available at Electrolux called the “Sensa” handle (last checked May 2011), see even www.spinalistips.se/tips-handle-for-refrigerator-and-freezer-en-1082.html
