Below you can see some of my amazing skills when a disaster strikes the laundry room! I couldn't let the lady of house go without the indoor dryer! The poorly designed plastic handle has the two very small tabs that took 98% of the stress of opening the door! They both broke!!! [banghead]
When I was told the dryer was out-of-commission, I had to find a quick solution fro being assigned the duty of opening the door! [rockon] Here are some images to illustrate my genius!(http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/u666/xAirbusDriver/Dryer_Handle_Door_zps7padkzqb.gif)
High quality solid wood solution!

The ~$34 exact replacement!
I can only assume that there is some 24ct Gold under the plastic veneer?
The meager, under-designed tabs are noted. [banghead]
