Does anyone know how to tighten the handle on a Harman P43 door ?
When my stove heats up the handle will sometimes move toward the open position.

Look on the inside part of the handle. There should be a set screw that keeps the latch on the shaft of the handle. Remove that set screw and look down inside those threads, there should be a second set screw. loosen the second set screw and the latch will be able to be adjusted in or out on the shaft. Retighten the set screw after adjustment and replace the other set screw. I had to spray some penetrating oil on the set screws to get mine loose. Good luck!

Wow. I have this same exact problem. I tightened my handle up but it still does it. I haven't found a good fix yet.

I went to look at my stove to see if I could help the OP, found the set screw - but didn't even look for another behind it so had no luck myself. So, now I know the secret - thanks!
