Scratches on fridge door handle

Bunny
10 years ago

I have a Kitchenaid stainless side-by-side fridge, about 18 months old. It doesn't pick up fingerprints too bad and generally looks like new. I live alone and am essentially the only one opening/closing its doors.

I noticed an area of small scratches along the left side front of the freezer side handle, about where I grab it to open (and close it, avoiding fingerprints on the face). Perplexing. Then I realized I wear one ring on my left hand (middle finger), an anniversary-style ring. The five diamonds are quite modest. As long as I've worn it, it has a tendency to rotate slowly on my finger so that the diamonds are on the palm side. Lightbulb moment: I'm pretty sure now that often I've grabbed the handle and the diamonds are on the inside and have left a scratch. Such is life, but something to think about.

Fortunately these scratches are in about a 2-inch space and need the light just right to see.
