A foot pedal door opener adapted to allow a user to more easily open the door of a refrigerator in a hands-free manner. The door opener provides a lever that pivots about a bar and is disposed between a pair of brackets that also pivot about the bar. A pedal is disposed on the lever and provides a foot support and a shaft. A band extends along and around the lever and the pair of brackets to provide resistance thereto. The user can manually step on the foot support, applying pressure thereto, wherein the pressure moves the lever from a resting position to a working position such that the lever pushes the refrigerator door open for the user. The foot pedal door opener can be mounted to the bottom of a refrigerator via an adhesive or other fasteners.
