With one yank on the long metal freezer door handle, one side fell off. Dang. Being somewhat handy with a screwdriver, I examined inside the freezer on the opposite side of the handle to see how I might repair it. For three days, I looked at it over and over and over, yet could not figure out how to possibly get inside the freezer door to access the back of the handle - there was no entry - ack! Guess it was time to call an appliance repair person ($cha-ching$cha-ching$ - just for someone to walk through the door).
Then one of my sons, Justin, comes over. I point out to him the problem. He looks it over, he thinks on it, and suddenly he is laying on his back on the floor, looking UP into the bottom of the handle where there was a screw for a screwdriver to reach. Hmmmm, well I never tried that angle! With a few simple turns of an Allen wrench, the freezer door handle was again secure.
Well, would you look at that - fixed! Upside down!
Sometimes we get stuck looking at a problem from only one angle ... one perspective. Perhaps if we try a different way: turn it over, look deeper, look under it, look around it, look above it, or turn it upside down (called thinking outside the box), to try to solve our problem by considering another possible angle, we would be more apt to find the solution.
