100% look and fit replacement.
Purchases to replace a broken handle which seems a known issue with this line of fridges. Matched the original handles to a tee and took only a few minutes to install with only a Philips head screwdriver. Note, it does not come with the screws so save your old ones. The fridge/freezer handles are identical so I now have a spare. If any, my only gripe would be having to buy a set of two rather than just be able to buy the one.I believe the cause of the break may be attributed to the original installers who changed the door from right opening to left opening and may have used an electric driver to tighten the screws. It wasn't until a few days after delivery/install that I found a small crack near the screw holes. This crack has grown and finally reached the edge of the handle and the strain of opening the door became to much for it. So I would strongly suggest to use a manual screwdriver and not to over tighten the screws to avoid cracking the plastic.

It DOES fit LGHT2137LP3 - Just use a different screw. Yay!
I needed a replacement handle for my Frigidaire model LGHT2137LP3 refrigerator, and the only exact match was an OEM part for like $120. In searching around, I found this handle which LOOKED like it might fit, but on entering my model number (on any website I found), I'd only get a vague "we aren't sure if this part will fit" response. Since Amazon has a great return policy, I rolled the dice. The handle DOES fit. The only difference is that the bolt that connects in the center part of the door (not at the 'L' shaped end) has a different kind of screw. The original LGHT2137LP3 has a weird proprietary screw that doesn't fit. This new replacement part uses a standard type screw. So I simply dug around in my junk draw and found a screw the right size, and used that. The new part fit perfectly, and I saved a bundle. For anyone with the same fridge as me, I hope this helps. Good luck!

Great replacement, but same poor strength.
These handles were a matched fit from the one that broke on my fridge with the following difference: the bottom screen the original handle is an integrated screw, whereas with this one there is no screw so you have to buy a replacement or (lucky for me) use one you have. The top screws also don't come with them,so you will need them from your original handle.It's only three stars for me because of the crew difference as well as for the cheapness of the handle that Electrolux makes. I am a single male who has not been abusing the handle like you might expect from a family with kids, and I am not frequently using the fridge. Yet, the top of the handle started cracking almost immediately, and finally broke off. This replacement appears as the same level of quality/strength so I assume it will do the same. With the common issue about these handles (just search the Internet) they should have made the replacement handles stronger and recalled the original ones.****Update 2/5/2017****Glad I bought a 2 pack as the first one has already broke...really wish these were made stronger. I have never known anyone to need to replace refrigerator handles, now I have to replace two of them. Removing another star just because these are made so cheaply with no strength that I foresee I will be forced to continually buy them for as long as I have this fridge since they have no strength!

Poor engineering design at a ridiculous price
I bought these because the original handle on my Frigidaire refrigerator door broke in March after about 2 years. Now I'm glad they were sold as a pair, because today the freezer handle also broke in the same place, due to its obvious structural design flaw. The screw hole in the thinnest part of the handle (5/32 inches) is inset so that the plastic remaining is only 1/16 inch thick. This could easily be broken by tightening the screw too tight, or surviving that, by pulling on the handle to open the door.To be fair, the handles match the original and look good, but so far they do not last as long as they should.

They don't "match" the old model perfectly, but they work fine.
Bought these as a repair for our old office Frigidaire (model FRT18B1BW0) and they work fine. One of the handles has a bit of a dent in the plastic, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. Unlike reviews of some other similar products, there was no issue with installation. Package comes with 2 handles so you can't really go wrong. The model we have is older so the handles look pretty "new" in comparison, but I feel like no one will notice within a few weeks. Seem sturdy. A good fix for the money spent.

Perfect replacement set, easy to install and sturdy.
These handles were a perfect solution for our OEM ones that were cracking/breaking. The manufacturer substituted original part # 242059504 with this new part # 5304506469. If using part # 5304506469 you will need to replace both handles with a set like these.The reason that you need to replace both at the same time is because the design changed and they won't match. All you have to do in order to install these is to loosen the 2 screws at the top of each door where the handle is mounted with a phillips head screwdriver. Once loosened or taken completely out, just pull the handles out at the top and up from the mounting screw at the bottom and they slip out easily. You shouldn't have to adjust the big mounting screw at the bottom of each door handle, if anything maybe just snug it a very little bit and slip the new handle right back down on the large mounting screw at the bottom and push in the top of the handle and tighten both of the screws you loosened earlier. DONE!I hope this helps someone. I found the handle's to be sturdy and should operate perfectly for a long period of time.

Worked out great
What I got was a matching pair, but they are not identical. There is an asymmetry to the mold pattern, so there is a top and a bottom. Worked out OK because the bottom handle was broken on my fridge, but what I had to do to match them was remove the existing one from the top (freezer) and install it on the bottom (fridge) and used one of the new ones for the top. Wound up with a brand new spare for the bottom which is usually the one that breaks anyway, but the newer design has a different offset to it that feels stronger and may not break as easily in the future.

Pricey, but good OEM part
This is a matched set for both the upper and lower doors. Make sure you're installing like-for-like because they are reversed in profile. Easy to install and will hopefully last for the rest of this fridge's lifespan.
