This replacement door handle for Frigidaire refrigerators is a perfect fit for OEM. I did not have to take the hardware out of the old handle like some other reviewers mentioned. I got the two-handle set just because it was only a couple bucks more than the single. I assume this one will eventually break too, since it's an inherent design flaw to have only thin plastic at the stress point. I didn't inspect it to see if it looks stronger/thicker than the original like some other reviews claimed, but it looks at least as sturdy as the original. I wish someone would sell an aftermarket handle that is reinforced with steel so you don't have to worry about it breaking again. Seems like a no brainer. My old one broke less than two years after purchasing the fridge new, and I have been supergluing it ever since. Gorilla glue did the trick, had to reglue it a couple times but I got another 2+ years out of the original handle that way before it broke in a new spot in front of the screws (instead of between them where it broke originally) so I figured it was time to replace. These are so cheap now that if you have to buy a new one every few years it's not that bad. Stupid design flaw from the manufacturer, but I appreciate the inexpensive replacement part that fits perfect and looks as good as the original.

The original handle snapped in two at the screwed down end (about 10 years old). The Lifetime handle slipped into place when I changed out the small plastic fitting in the large end with the original fitting. The newer one seemed too tight to slip into place without forcing it into the fitting. I also followed another reviewer's advice and left some slack in the screws at the other end. They fit like the original. Good value too.
