Zusammenfassung:A refrigerator (10) includes a refrigerator body (14) having an interior storage space (18). A door (22) is coupled to the refrigerator body (14) to open and close the interior storage space. A door handle (26) is coupled to the door (22) in a pivotally rotatable manner and an opening actuator (30) is coupled to the door handle (26) where the opening actuator applies a force to the refrigerator body (14) to open the interior storage space (18). The opening actuator includes a front bezel (34), a handle pivot plate (38) coupled to the door handle (26), a casing (42) enclosing an actuator mechanism (46), and one or more pushers (50) that extend and retract against a front wrapper edge (54) of the refrigerator body (14). An intermediate attachment (58) couples the handle pivot plate (38) to the casing (42) and a back bezel (62).
