Frigidaire 297309800 Trim-Handle (Freezer/Refrigerator Door) – OEM Replacement

Description

Restore the clean, finished look of your appliance door with this genuine OEM trim-handle part 297309800 from Frigidaire/Electrolux. This trim piece is designed to replace the decorative front-face of the refrigerator or freezer door handle (white with a gray band, in many cases) and offers a low-cost way to refresh the appearance or functionality of your unit. Because door-handle trim and mounting vary across model years, door styles and production regions, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that this part number matches your appliance’s full model number (including suffix letters) and that the trim-handle is the component needing replacement before ordering. appliancerepair.homedepot.com+2frigidaireapplianceparts.com+2

Features & Benefits

• OEM-specified trim piece: Built to Frigidaire/Electrolux original equipment standards for correct fit, finish, and durability. appliancepartsgroup.com+1

• Matches factory styling: The “white w/ gray band” finish restores the original appearance of your appliance door, maintaining a seamless look. amazon.com+1

• Cost-effective repair: Replacing just the trim handle is significantly less expensive than replacing the entire door or handle assembly when the old trim is cracked, discoloured or damaged.

• Straightforward installation: With the correct part on hand and compatibility confirmed, installation involves removing the old trim-handle and securing the new piece in place—ideal for a maintenance technician or a handy DIYer.

Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement

• The door handle’s front trim is cracked, chipped or missing the gray decorative band.

• The appliance door handle looks mismatched or worn compared to the rest of the unit—especially if other parts are white/gray-band and this trim is discoloured.

• You feel rough or sharp edges on the handle trim, suggesting material degradation or breakage.

• The handle trim appears loose, mis-aligned or shows mounting screw indentation—indicating the trim may have fractured around the mounting slots.
  If you observe any of these symptoms, have your maintenance technician verify that part 297309800 is indeed the correct trim piece for your model and that you only need the trim (rather than the full handle or door assembly).

Compatibility Notes

• The part number 297309800 is listed by Frigidaire/Electrolux as a “Trim-Handle” for certain freezer or refrigerator doors. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1

• Retail listings show this part described as “White with gray band” for specific models: e.g., FFU21M7HWK, FFU21M7HWL, FFUH21F2NWA, etc. appliancepartsgroup.com+1

• Because door styles, handle mount holes, liner dimensions, and finishes can vary between model years, brands, and regions (Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, etc.), it is essential to verify your appliance’s full model number (including suffix letters) and compare your old trim piece’s appearance, mounting tabs, and band colour before ordering.

• This trim piece does not include the full handle mechanism or mounting bracket—if the handle mechanism is damaged, you may need a full handle assembly.
