Frigidaire refrigerators have door handles used to open the refrigerator and freezer doors. The door handles are made of either stainless steel or plastic, depending on the refrigerator design. Because of the repeated pulling and pushing on the handles, it is not uncommon for a refrigerator handle to become loose or break. If your Frigidaire has a door handle that is broken or loose, tighten or replace it to ensure that the refrigerator and freezer doors are easy to open.
