Washer Handle
It took 7 days to receive the item a nd I paid $9+ in shipping. Total of $54. It fixed my problem but way too expensive.

Simple repair, but defective design means another replacement soon
The part itself is a perfect match for the old part and goes on easy. The issue is not with the fit or supplier-- both were great! The design itself is defective, for which the manufacturer of the washer bears the blame. The plastic is held in place by two small screws, and there is plenty of flex in the plastic itself. Meaning that whenever you tug on the handle to open the door it flexes on those two connection points-- and there is a surprising amount of give-- which translates to wear on the plastic around those connections. This is the second handle we've replaced, and both broke off at or near the connecting screws. Perhaps the handle needs to be made of sturdier plastic, or another stronger substance. Or perhaps there needs to be additional screws connecting the handle to the door. As it is, we fully expect this replacement to also fail in the next few years.

Correct part, door handle is working again.
The screws on the handle were a very odd shape. Too bad manufacturers can't make it easy on consumers and use a universal size and shape. I made it work though.

The door handle was cracked and eventually broke off.
Ordered the part. When it came we needed to find the correct screwdriver because the screw did not work with philips head screwdriver. We used slotted even though it wasn't that type of screw. It worked just fine and installed very easily. It worked great.

The door handle to my washer had broken off.
I used a screwdriver to unscrew and remove the broken handle and replaced it with a new handle. The new handle was exactly the same type handle that the washer had originally. It took less than five minutes.

The plastic handel broke, but the screws that held it in place doesn't seem to be either a phillips nor a slot head screw. What type of driver does it take to remove the screws?
For model number GHW9100LW2
Hi David,
Thank you for your question. From what I am seeing underneath your model information the screws are a torx 20 driver. Good luck with your repair.
