At time, I was still in the throwes of moving...I had no idea what the manufacturer was..

Kenmore Coldspot
MOD 51569101
SER SL3440524

I will google....

There should be three more leading digits on the model number separated from the rest of the numbers by a period.

Perhaps 106.51569101?

The leading digits are the manufacturer code. Sears/Kenmore doesn't manufacture anything, their products are sourced from other manufacturers.

106 indicates Whirlpool.

Refrigerator & Freezer Door Handles (same handle on both)
2207206W subs to W10285542 (white)
2207206T --> W10285541 (almond or bisque)
2207206B --> W10285540 (black)

I will look for those leading charaters tomorrow when I'm home. My guess is that the previous owners had kids who weren't very gentle on things..and the door handles took their share of abuse.

There are numerous small holes in the doors, maybe there was a trim piece as well.. I will look at the part (via part numbers) you provided.

Thanks
