Frigidaire Dishwashers

I purchased my first home in August of 2011. In this home was a brand new Frigidaire dishwasher that had only been ran briefly during a home inspection. After moving into the home and running the dishwasher's first load I walk down into my basement to see a large water bubble and water dripping from my ceiling. After this occurred I spoke with Lowe's where the investor had purchased the dishwasher. They were nice enough to replace the dishwasher but said they could not help me with the damage and I had to speak to Frigidaire. I reached out to Frigidaire and they sent me to their claims department with Electrolux. Their claims department consists of a voicemail and no one that will ever answer the phone or even attempt to call you back.

After leaving numerous voice messages they sent me a letter requesting a quote for the damage, pictures, an explanation of what happened and the defective dishwasher part that caused the leak. I sent them everything they requested but stated there was no way for me to supply the defective part considering I had the dishwasher replaced. This was not enough for them and they denied my claim, refusing to do anything to repair my home. I have since sent letters pleading with them to help me and to understand my situation. I have asked them to explain to me how I am supposed to supply a part from a dishwasher that was replaced for being defective.

After doing this for months I have given up on contacting Electrolux and have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Electrolux responded once again saying that I will still need to send them the defective part refusing to budge from their position. I am exhausted from this situation and will never in my life buy another product that has anything to do with Frigidaire or Electrolux. You may save a little money but you will pay in the end it seems.

I bought my dishwasher in May 2010. In October of 2010, the pump went out and had that replaced. Then in January 2012, power to my dishwasher went out . Service man came out to find wires had shorted out and melted all together. This dishwasher is less than two years old. I called customer services had to argue with girl on phone to speak with manager. My dishwasher is out of warranty. I did not buy extended warranty. Manager said there is nothing they can do. It cost me $100 to repair wires and service man said it could happen again and that this sort of thing is common with Frigidaire dishwashers. As like all other complaints, no one in the company seems to care. I told them my dishwasher has some kind of defect. I was told just because pump goes out and wires melt that I have a defective dishwasher. I will never buy another Frigidaire product again.

I started my Frigidaire dishwasher around noon on a Sunday and left the house to take my children to their mom's house. I returned about two hours later to find my house on fire. Our dog died in the fire and my house was completely destroyed from smoke damage. I had purchased the house three months prior to the fire and the dishwasher was approximately 1.5 years old (with very little usage as it was purchased by the previous owner to stage the house). The fire marshall and insurance company concluded that the cause of the fire was the faulty Frigidaire dishwasher. I purchased my house for approximately $170k three months prior to the fire and the cost to re-build was over $225k so I would consider the house a complete loss.

More importantly, I was displaced for four months and my children lost their several pets in the fire (a dog and two hamsters). I consider myself very lucky that I didn't start the dishwasher the night before when going to sleep. The consequences would have been beyond comprehension with my children sleeping. The insurance company has taken over the investigation and subrogation claim and I am sure they are only concerned about cost vs. benefit. I am more concerned about the family that isn't as lucky as I was, a family that would have been sleeping when the fire occurred. I hope there is someone out there looking into how safety features can be enhanced.

I purchased a Frigidaire Pro Series Dishwasher. I paid for the extended warranty but did not renew the extended warranty after the second year. The track and rollers in the upper rack of my dishwasher have worn and now the tray will not stay in the track. The tray now presses down on the sprayer arm preventing proper water distribution and efficient cleaning of the dishes. The upper rack can't support anything on the left side, leaving only a small section on the right for glasses etc. I contacted a local service provider in my area to learn that a track and roller kit needs to be installed. The kit, coupled with service call and labor, is going to cost $200.00.

(The only kit that will work comes from Frigidaire) I contacted Frigidaire to request they pay for the parts and I would agree to cover the service/trip charge and labor. Frigidaire was not willing to compromise in any way since I no longer have an extended warranty on the product. In my view, the parts that failed were not designed to last the life of the dishwasher. And since I can't find the parts anywhere else, I feel Frigidaire should be willing to pay for them. My only option is to either pay the $200.00 to repair something that broke through no fault of my own, or purchase a brand new unit. I can assure you, I will not be buying Frigidaire products in the future.

I researched and bought a Frigidaire dishwasher (model number FGHD242433Kw1) on 12/1/2010. It actually makes our dishes dirtier, than when they went in, coating them with white film, and doesn't remove food bits from dishes. I called for service, and had plumbers and certified Frigidaire repairmen to the house, as they instructed 4 different times at $35-$50 a visit.

I tried all suggestions made, and when I contacted the company on the first of January 2012 (because my mother-in-law had a stroke, and I was remiss in November/December making the call), they refused any help, honoring any warranty, and had the audacity to suggest a 5th repairman at our expense. It is inexcusable that they stall you off for a year, and as you comply with their instructions, as the warranty inevitably expires.

I have the same problem with our Frigidaire Dishwasher Racks rusting out. I purchased this new unit back in March of 2007 and the replacement costs of the top and bottom racks are almost $200, with shipping. I won't make this mistake again. Then again, Maytag isn't much better since I've had problems with their side-by-side refrigerator and just threw out their washing machine when the main bearings went out. You can tell they're going since the washing machine begins to sound like a 747 taking off when the washer goes into the spin cycle.

I purchased a Frigidaire Professional Series Dishwasher around 2007 during a complete kitchen remodel along with other Frigidaire appliances. I live alone and maybe run the unit once a week, since I eat out and work full time. If I run it on "high temp wash" or "sanitize" cycle, an awful burning plastic/electrical burning smell is emitted from the unit. It has gotten worse, and now with the publicity on dishwasher fires, I'm afraid to run it at all. I will be pursuing this further with whoever will listen...including the media, until I get satisfaction.

After a few months of use, there was already a bad pump grinding noise. Consequence is costly repairs over and over.

The dishwasher stays hot at all times with door closed. Melted the arm and seal on middle sprayer and also leaks water on floor.

I have a Frigidaire refrigerator, dishwasher and over the stove microwave. A month ago my dishwasher started overflowing, and water leaked out all over my floor. Enough, that it ran through the cracks of the hardwood, and into the basement. I cleaned the entire dishwasher but it turns out the overflow valve is faulty. I can no longer use the dishwasher, unless I go into the basement, and shut off the water supply, once the cycles are through.

Two nights ago I was microwaving beans in a microwave safe bowl, and my microwave started to spark, make zapping noises, and smelled like it was burning. It behaved as if there was tin foil in the microwave. I took everything out, thoroughly checked the microwave, and then proceeded to heat a mug of water. Again the same thing happened. I can no longer use my microwave at all.

Upon looking further into this, I have found that I am not the only owner with this problem. Several of the units have actually caught on fire. Both of my units were manufactured in 9/2006, purchased in 1/2007. Four years into owning an appliance, I now have two that I need to repair, or possibly replace. Frigidaire will do nothing to help. I have seen plenty of complaints here, and I am wondering why Frigidaire is not being held accountable.

First, our stove started coming on for no reason. I had service on it three times, they said they had no problems.

Funny three years later, I get a recall to unplug it. I had it serviced one week later, same problem. I had to replace it.

One year later, my dishwasher caught on fire. Again, no recall so I had to replace it. I called and sent email to received no help from Frigidaire. I guess they don't give a damn. I'm just waiting for the fridge to go.

We awake this morning to a smoke odor in our home. The dishwasher was reading ERR. When we opened the dishwasher, it was evident that the heating element did not shut off, which caused a small fire in the dishwasher. It melted the bottom sprayer and dishwasher safe plastics on the bottom shelf. The fire was hot enough to melt an entire water bottle, which has been washed this way over hundred times.

I have a Frigidaire dishwasher, series 1200. Last night, 9/18/11, I started the dishwasher like I normally would, around 7 pm. I am extra cautious about when I run it now (not when we go to bed or when we leave the house). There was nothing unusual inside, mostly dishes, glasses, and a bowl. I was getting ready for bed quite some time later when I knew it was almost finished. Standing in the master bedroom, I smelt a toxic burning smell yet again, but worse this time. It was throughout the entire house. I ran into the kitchen and flipped on the light to find the entire kitchen filled with smoke. I opened the dishwasher and billows of smoke came out. The entire unit was extremely hot, like it may have been stuck on the dry cycle or something. I have also been noticing the lights on the mother board that came on, showing which stage the cleaning cycle is on. It flickered on and off randomly when the washer is not in use. And you usually have to fiddle going back and forth to different cycles to actually get it to start when you are ready to use it. Either way, I know this is not normal nor is it something I am doing.

I purchased a dishwasher (Model No.: FDBB944CB0). The pump motor was very loud from early on, but the real problem is the high heat dry option. When this is selected, the end of the cycle results in a burning smell. It is so bad that the dishwasher has to be turned off manually. I have even had a neighbor come over after smelling it outside of my house! This issue seems to be prevalent on the Internet, and I am surprised that a recall has not been issued. I looked for a government safety agency to file a complaint with, but have not found the proper avenue yet.

I bought a dish washer (Frigadare Model #PLD4460RECO) 02/11/2011. By July 2011 the entire front was covered with rust.At this point I found out this was a 2006 model. After numerous calls to store they finally agreed to replace front of dishwasher and provide me with a paid in full 5 year warrenty. I agreed to this however now my concern is with Frigidare and its policy will not cover anything in reguards to rust. I will never buy anything from this company in the future. I have found rust on the Frigidare refrigerator (Model #FLSC238DS6) the repair man from

Frigidaire dishwasher model # FDB1200RGC purchased March 24, 2009 - died June 27, 2011. Shoddy, short-lived product.

I purchased a new Frigidaire dishwasher from Lowe's, San Marcos, CA in August 2008.I also purchased the 4 year extended warranty. Around the beginning of March 2011 I noticed that our dishwasher was making very loud motor sounds. It sounded like a helicopter preparing for lift off. I then called Lowe's Service Advantage only to find out the my warranty was with National Electronic Warranty. I scheduled an appointment through NEW for March 11, 2011 with a local company called Antech Appliance.

On March 11th Antech Appliance repairman came to my house and did absolutely nothing to help dishwasher motor noise. What he did do was scrape together calcium and mumbled something about maintenance and on the way out the door said that he recommended that we not use the dishwasher! Well my dishwasher was full of dirty dishes so I told I was going to run it to clean the dirty dishes and then not use the dishwasher until we heard back from National Electronic Warranty Company.

What this repairman should have said to me was, "Don't run your dishwasher because I have done something horrible to it. Now your dishwasher will flood if you run it and it is going to leak all over the place!" I then called Antech Appliance to tell them about the new major leak after their repairman attempted to repair my dishwasher! They said they would call me back. They never called back, I was not surprised.

On March 17, 2011 I received Interpersonal Message Code from National Electronic Warranty Company. I called back with said code and was told that my dishwasher was not covered because of calcium. Note: My Frigidaire Dishwasher Use & Care Guide and product instructions clearly state that my dishwasher is self-cleaning!

I then asked to speak to a supervisor about my dishwasher that now leaks all over the kitchen! Remember I called because of loud noise not a leaking dishwasher! ! I spoke with Merial, Employee # **, and explained the situation. Merial said that she would send someone out for a second opinion.

On March 22,2011 AG Service arrived to service dishwasher. Apparently the repairman didn't know that he was the 2nd company and proceeded to try to figure out the loud noise. The repairman then said he was going to replace the pump assembly. I told him even if he fixes the motor/pump assembly the dishwasher now has a severe leak caused by the previous repairman from Antech Appliance, Escondido, CA.

Obviously, the repairman from AG Service walked in my house knowing nothing about previous leak problem! ! I am angry for many reasons, today is March 27, 2011 and after missing hours of work and spending time on the phone with various repair people, I still cannot use my broken dishwasher!

It has been just about 1 month I am requesting that Lowe's honor my extended warranty and replace my dishwasher immediately or face legal matters.

About an hour after emptying out the Frigidaire Dishwasher (Model FDBS956CC0), my family and I were watching a movie when we heard a loud pop in the kitchen. Ten minutes later, we smelled plastic burning and smoke started coming out of the dishwasher door by the latch, just behind the electric controls on the door.

I immediately turned off the electric breaker, brought in fans. After an hour the noxious smoke was gone. The door latch does not properly seal and prevent water getting into the electric control panel on the door front. This is a fire hazard and could electrocute the user-- very dangerous. This dishwasher has barely been used due to a delayed kitchen remodel.

On second thought, water getting into the control panel also explains why previously the dishwasher lights blinked erratically, sometimes started on its own, and other times failed to respond to the controls.

I have called regarding this poor dishwasher. It is Model FDB2310 LCC0 Serial TH33113332. It does not clean the dishes and is so noisy. I have had 3 service calls and I am told it is the product and nothing to do. I have to use the high heat element and it still does not clean. I have to wash the dishes and if there is something left on the dishes it does not come off.

I am an elderly woman, disabled and lives alone. I have very few dishes. I cannot afford to continue to have service. Last time I called Frigidaire, she said only call for service as it wasn't under warranty. I bought this house less than 2 years ago. The dishwasher still had the tags on it and all appliances in the home Frigidaire and new. I am told, however, that they were appliances from 2004. To me, they should be working!

My Frigidaire Professional Series (Model: PLD4375RFC) which was purchased in October '07 (or thereabouts) has worked more or less without problems until this past month. One day, I set the dishwasher to run before leaving to run some errands. When I returned, the dishwasher smelled of melted plastic, there was an ER code, and the machine was very hot. I opened the door to let it cool, then closed the door and pushed "cancel" to see if the code was gone. It did clear. Since a plastic plate on the top rack was grossly distorted, I assumed it had been the source of the melted plastic smell. I have been able to run the dishwasher a few times since on normal wash/high temp but each time I unloaded the dishwasher, the top spray arm had been blown off into the top rack.

I would re-attach it but it would blow off each time thereafter. Three days ago, I loaded the machine and attempted to run a normal load/high temp. But the touch pad would not accept any setting but Top Rack, EcoWash, or Rinse Only. On closer inspection, I noticed that the bottom spray arm was badly deformed in one of its arms. So, I assumed that the top spray arm blows off because the back pressure is now too great with the lower spray arm deformed. I ran two loads two days ago on Rinse, followed by EcoWash successfully. Today, I did the same thing but I received an ER code. The dishwasher was hot and the plastic bowl was melted beyond recognition.

Thanksgiving is coming and I will have to have a dishwasher--my wife does not think paper plates and plastic ware is acceptable (women!). I have read that this particular model has been having issues like this for others. I hesitate to bother repairing this thing since some of the appliance repair techs on some of the websites I've read pretty much guarantee that the problem, if fixed, will happen again. If I can fix it myself, it appears to be a minimum $240 job; if I hire somebody, considerably more. All this for a three-year old machine!

On Saturday, 11/06/2010, I woke up at one o'clock in the morning for a drink of water. When I walked into my kitchen, I smelled plastic burning. After looking around I opened my Frigidaire Model # FDB7101XCB0, Serial # TH45077719 to find the sprayer arm melted onto the heating coil.

The front cover of the dishwasher was extremely hot to the touch. We had to shut the circuit breaker off to shut the dishwasher off. If I had not woken up in the middle of the night for some water, no telling if my kitchen would have caught on fire. On Monday, 11/08/2010, we contacted Frigidaire at ** and was told that our dishwasher was out of warranty and that this problem could happen. They also offered us a twenty percent rebate if we bought another one.

After reading on the Internet we have found that the heating coil has been an ongoing problem with the Frigidaire dishwashers for some time now. We have also found that Magic Chef and May Tag have had a recall on their heating coils in the past and have replaced the coils and covered the cost of the labor. We feel that Frigidaire has a real fire safety problem with their heating coils and it should be address as soon as possible before a fire takes a life.

I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher which just about burned my house down. Just curious as with all the same complaints with Frigidaire dishwasher-- Why there has been no recall?!

My Frigidaire dishwasher started on fire overnight. I turned it on before I went to bed and I woke up to smoke. I ran downstairs thinking that something plastic had fallen through onto the drying element, but what really happened is that the circuit board on the back of the control panel had started on fire and had burned right through all of the plastic inside before it was stopped by the inside of the stainless steel door. Needless to say, the dishwasher is history. Normally I would find this very troubling, but strangely enough the exact same thing happened to my Frigidaire range just over a month ago. The dishwasher model number is PLDB998CC0.

My dishwasher caught on fire. Its control panel shorted out and totally melted and began to singe under the countertop. I started the dishwasher and headed upstairs; luckily I heard a loud "pop" noise and went to investigate. I smelled a funny electrical smell and realized the dishwasher was on fire. My disabled husband was able to disconnect it from the wall and we turned off the circuit breaker. I called Frigidaire and was told there was not a recall on that model. So we replaced it with a KitchenAid. Installer of new dishwasher said we were very lucky I heard it and investigated. Otherwise, it would have been a major fire.

We remodeled our kitchen in October 2007, which included a Frigidaire dishwasher (model no. PLD4375RFCO) This is their 'professional line'. Within 2 months we noticed that the steam escaping around the perimeter of the door was so intense that it was ruining our new cabinetry and base boards. We would also wake up in the morning to puddles of water on the kitchen floor after a night of dish washing and cabinet steaming. We had a tech come out 2 or 3 times to check and replace all the seals and were told that everything looked normal and leaking and steaming was normal(?)! 'Take it up with Frigidaire'. So we did, and they were not responsive, so not responsive that the warranty expired without any resolution and here we 3 years later, with ruined cabinets and a pile of towels near the base of the dishwasher. And 2 days ago, the dishwasher became 'possessed' and randomly starts cycles without any programming and makes an awful noise. Is it time for a new one? (Hopefully! )

Purchased this dishwasher in Summer of 2009 for use in a household with two senior citizens. After 15 months, the "mother board controls" quit working, the unit overheated damaging glassware and melting parts of my blender. "Service" personnel were indifferent, not knowledgeable, and rude. We had an appliance repairman out who stated that steam from this model has nowhere to vent and likely caused the electronic control board to fail. (His assessment concurred with internet comments and complaints about this model).

Repairs would have run in excess of $250, and he is reluctant to make them as he believes the problem will occur again. Sales staff at Plass Appliance have attempted to be helpful, but Frigidaire sales rep says they've had no complaints or recalls (Read the websites!). He told Plass to tell me to order a modification part. When I called and gave the customer service person the request, she told me, "You need a parts number; I don't got no list of parts, only numbers."

My brother bought the identical model three months before we did and purchased an extended warranty--luckily for him as he's already had three parts replaced. What a piece of junk!

About 5 years ago, our dishwasher caught fire. The warranty was over but as soon as we called the company, no further questions were asked and they shipped a new Frigidaire dishwasher the very next day. They did not want to old one, see it or have me send a purchase receipt. I told my wife, this is suspicious and they are probably getting many serious calls and do not want government-imposed recall problems from complaints.

Now 5 years later, we hear of this recall during this past summer on the same problem. Do not use the heating elements to dry your dishes! What is happening is the heating element becomes extremely warped, two sides warp upwards and the other two sides warp downward, and burn into the plastic tub and catch fire. These are cheap elements without amperage load protection.

Marketing engineering is what I call it - build cheap so that we have to buy a new one every 7 years. Obviously, there is no money for appliances that last 20 to 30 years as was the previous appliances I had. Corporate America wants bigger profit margins and more sales. Filing legal action is what is needed with media coverage for free publicity seems like the only avenue to go these days.

I'm typing this with wet fingers,not from washing my hands but from sopping up water that my less than one year old Frigidaire gallery dishwasher has spewed onto my kitchen floor. I imagine seeing how it is surrounded by cabinets that the bases of the cabinets have sucked up a bit and soon shall do! I have had the repair men to my house no less then 6 times to look at the said machine. Only after I was told that they replaced every moving part on the machine was I told I was entitled to a replacement unit.

The first day I was using the machine, all seemed well when to my utter surprise, guess what, I heard the same grinding, rubbing noise which I was all too familiar with from the previous unit. As if that wasn't bad enough, now it pouring water out of the bottom of the door at certain parts of the cycle. I'm tired of *** about this, and the fridge makes noise, the compressor and the ice maker as well. I also had to replace the microwave three times for dents. They really show up on a nice reflective surface like stainless steel.

Furthermore when I received the stove, all seemed fine. But guess what, when I went to use the drawer under the oven, it wouldn't close (?) because it appears the unit was dropped on its front leg and the whole body was bent out of shape. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this and had to smash the stove back to shape with a rubber mallet! Frigidaire, your products are shameful pieces of junk. Hopefully, you will go out of business. PS, you suck.

Purchased matching Frigidaire Elecrtolux appliances for our new home. Purchased 900 series dishwasher from Sears in 2005 and had nothing but trouble with it. Had the Sears repair man out to fix it 3 times. We even bought the extended warranty for the first two years.

The bottom arm came loose, got burned on the element, the dishes sprayed food all over the dishes so that I had to wash them by hand before putting them away. The last thing that happened was the computer panel started to burn. If we hadn't been home to smell the electrical fire, perhaps the house would have burned down. There is no replacement part available. The order desk stated that no more were to be sold. We now have to purchase a new dishwasher after only five years.

I purchased a Frigidaire Dishwasher Model # NoTH64286933 a few years ago. I woke up on September 28th and smelled something very funny in my home. I went into the kitchen and the smell was awful. I opened the dishwasher to realize that the heating element never shut off. It melted everything in the dishwasher, the cabinets were burning hot and the entire bottom of the dishwasher was melted. I turned the dishwasher on at 6:00 pm and when I woke up at 6:00 am, the heating element was still running. My house could have burnt down. My husband called Frigidaire to report the problem and they told us that nothing could be done. My home could have burnt down with myself and my 3 children in it. I will never purchase anything made by Frigidaire ever again.

On December 16, 2009, I purchased a Frigidaire Dishwasher Model GLD2445RFQ. Within a few weeks, the motor started grinding and whining. I called an authorized repair service and they replaced the motor on February 2, 2010, again on July 19, 2010 and again tomorrow, October 1, 2010. Each time, it's the same problem, and the service company can only keep repairing it. I called Customer Service and they said they have no record of the repairs. The warranty will be up soon and I'm stuck with a big fat lemon.

We are complaining about a product. We have a Frigidaire dishwasher; model GLD4355rfs0, which has been great. But we had to have a service man out as it just stopped! The elec. board had burned up - no warning no nothing. It was brand new, installed November 26, 2007. There are just the two of us in the home and we travel all winter, so it was not used at all for those months and only perhaps two times a week. We loved the quietness of it but think it should have lasted longer! Why would it burn up that soon as the repairman said and we confirmed there was no water involved, etc? Please let us know what can be done to compensate for this product.

My 22 month old son got his foot stuck under the dishwasher (stainless steel) and he had to undergo emergency surgery to repair his achilles tendon. The laceration was so deep. It scraped his ankle bone and now has to take antibiotics to keep it from getting infected. He cannot walk for at least 4 weeks and will be put in a hard cast this week. After researching, I have found that this incident has happened before. Please beware of the sharp, uncovered, metal edge under your dishwasher!

I bought a Frigidaire 'Professional Series' 24" stainless steel dishwasher in July 2007. In November 2008, 1/2 half of the keypad quit working. I recently was looking for parts and found many many many others having issues with boards and touch panels on the same series of dishwasher. I'm very unhappy I spent so much money on this so-called pro-series dishwasher to have it last such a very short time.

I noticed there was water leaking into my closet. I took everything out of the closet only to find molded walls and carpet! I investigated the dishwasher model:FDB1050REM1, serial: TH63384283, and had found that the heating element had a defect. The plastic part around the water pipes was completely melted away because the heating element would get to hot and eventually melted it. Thank the Lord I found it in time because eventually it would have caused a fire. I had to rip out the carpet in my closet and cut out part of my shelving unit because it was molded.

I now have to rip out the cabinet that was next to the dishwasher. It's a scam. You buy a four year old product. This should not have happened! Electronics are being made poorly and the customer is the one paying the price and the distributor is reaping all the benefits! Manufacturers need to stand by their products and have a warranty. Do you not warranty your product because they know its going to break? Unsatisfied customer!

We purchased a Frigidaire Dishwasher Model number FDB1050REM4 on September 22, 2008. On August 3, 2010 we started noticing water leakage on our garage floor and walls. After checking many pipes and what could be causing the leakage, we discovered that the leakage is from our dishwasher. After thorough check of the dishwasher, we found out that the heating element in the bottom of the unit had burned holes in two different angles through the bottom plastic shell. This has caused the water leakage into the walls of our house and garage.This is obviously a defective product considering the fact that the dishwasher was less than two years old. This heating element could have caused fire while asleep.

On August 16, 2010, I called the customer service at Frigidaire to file a complaint about this defective product. All my explanation was to no avail. I was told that the product is out of warranty and since I do not have an extended warranty, they will not be able to help me. Through my research, I found out that many customers have also had the same problem with the Frigidaire dishwasher. There has not been a recall on this particular dishwasher. Obviously, we do not want to wait till people die in fire caused by this defective heating element in this dishwasher.

This is not a warranty issue, this is a defective product issue and should be recalled immediately before serious accident happen since most people run their dishwasher at night before going to bed. Frigidaire customer service department is not ready to help us consumers with this issue, we therefore need to resolve this through the appropriate agency.

We purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher in 2005. We haven't had any issues until today. My 9-month-old son was crawling around the floor by the dishwasher and got the back of his foot cut open by the bottom of the front panel. There is a gap between the bottom of the panel and the floor where he was able to get his foot underneath it. We had to make a trip to the ER, where he received 11 stitches to close the wound. Parents beware if you have a similar model. Our model is FDBB945DC1.

I purchased a Frigidaire (model PLD437RFC) dishwasher on May 6, 2010. On July 11, 2010, it stopped working. The control panel was replaced twice and still the dishwasher does not work. Frigidaire has recommended I get a second opinion from an authorized service company. I called the service company who stated there is a known problem with this model.

We've had a Frigidaire Dishwasher for two years now. Just recently when I started it, the machine runs and runs and doesn't shut off. I have to turn it off myself. Someone told me there was a recall on some dishwashers. The Model #FD6510LC83. Serial #PH81520623. Is there anyway you could check to see if there's a defect in this machine? I'm afraid it will start a fire.

I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher from BrandsMart in 2008 for a rental property. After it was installed, it started leaking from the front. A service tech was called out and they made some adjustments and for a while it was fixed. I was called to active duty to serve Iraq for 10 months. Upon my return I was informed by my tenant that the leak was more prominent. I am very disappointed in this brand. I am not financially able to repair or replace this dishwasher and I can't afford to lose a tenant over the leak. I tried to place a rubber door sweep to keep the water from pouring out the front this afternoon. Please help.

We had a GE dishwasher for 15 +years. never had it serviced for 5 people plus numerous entertainment and household guests. Now, my kids are older and don't even use this dishwasher nearly as much. It still doesn't clean or work. Again, I paid to have this fixed right after the Frigidaire warranty expired...over $200. This model was highly rated on Consumer Report. What a mistake THEY made. So just got off the phone with Frigidaire and I will be compensated for 70% toward a new dishwasher. Seriously? Wow. can't wait to share this with Consumer Report.

Waiting for something other than this offer. This product needs to be replaced not only here but off the market. Shame on all of you with not standing behind your product. To take an extended warranty and use that as an excuse to not repair an item? Should it break after 1 year if you provided a quality item? NOT.

I bought a Frigidaire dishwasher. It is louder than the builder model installed in 1984. It doesn't clean well and now it causes static or line noise in the TV and FM radio. I can't use the dishwasher if I want to watch TV or listen to the radio. It is a piece and if Frigidaire would give me half the price I paid for it they could have back.

my dishwasher modle#fdb4315lfc2 has never really ceaned well but i dealt withit,now my dishwasher wont complete cycles it goes after a little bit right to error code then freezes up and no buttons work cant even shut off i have to shut circut breaker to shut off tried again and same thing happened

We Bought our home in 2005 and noted that we would need new kitchen appliances. The kitchen was nice but the appliances were old. We went to Lowes and bought one of their packages, frigidaire. Our biggest issue has been the dishwasher since day 1. Now after reading other postings here I'm concerned about out refrigerator and range. We have had issues with our ice maker but that's been minor. However the Dishwasher is absolute JUNK! My house smells like a septic tank because of this thing. The service company is ridiculous too. They are NEVER prepared with parts when they come out, so I have to leave work to meet them at the house to look at the appliance only to have to reschedule for them to come back once the part is in.

They have replaced the pump twice, the circuit-board, some flow valve, the soap dispenser and other pieces. I will say that after the second pump and the circuit board it worked fine for about 9 months and now all of the sudden it's flooding again. MFS came out to replace the flow valve and the next day it was flooded and worse than before. The said it was an install default and that was Lowes' problem. Needless to say we are now shopping for a new dishwasher and will not buy an appliance from Lowes or Frigidaire again! So buyer beware, if you have gotten this far in the laundry list of complaints and issues the brand is not reliable and the company will do everything in their power to delay or prevent replacement or refund!

The dishwasher floods our kitchen and doesn't clean the dishes well which poses a health hazard. It promote growth of mold and bacteria which can be harmful to immuno-compromised people, the elderly and young children. This product is not reliable as a sanitizer for baby-ware. The economical consequence is frequent payment for servicing the appliance, the damage done to our kitchen floors and cabinets, cost in time away from work to attend to service calls, and ultimately the cost of replacing the unit. Not to mention medical costs resulting from mold and bacteria exposure.

I just had a new dishwasher installed in my apartment. At the bottom of the dishwasher the door panel ends sharply and there is a gap with a tube and holes just behind it. This would not have been an issue and I would have never known about it until my son got his foot stuck in there crawling by it and cut open the back of his ankle.

My husband and I bought a dishwasher through Best Buy. It was a Frigidaire. The wash bar that swings around the bottom and melted to the heat element ring in the bottom. It got so hot inside that all the plastic -thick- glasses in the top rack melted. I have been afraid to use it. I purchased this on July of 2007. I have been trying to get Best Buy to do something for months, with no luck.

We purchased a new Frigidaire dishwasher from Lowes in December of 2007. The dishwasher stopped working in March of 2010, the main control board and hidden touch panel stopped working. The unit has 110 volts at the control board and is grounded properly but there is no response from any of the controls. Since this unit is approximately 2-1/2 years old. It is clearly out of the manufacturers warranty and based on some research it would cost almost as much as a new dishwasher to have it repaired. It is very disappointing to have a $550 dishwasher last only 2-1/2 years. I will never buy a Frigidaire appliance again.

Our dishwasher had an issue with the drain pump assembly. It was very loud and upon inspection was found to have a manufacturer's defect. When the part was replaced the replacement part was also defective. The pump is made up of two pieces which are glued and then screwed together. In my situation, the part was glued together but not screwed together. When the service provided installed the replacement part and tested the dishwasher everything worked fine. They tested it to simply make sure it would pump water and not make the noise it originally did. Approximately a 5-10 test of the unit. When I ran the dishwasher for the first time the pump failed. Seeing how it was only glued together and missing the screws that hold it together it fell apart, thus, causing water to leak from the pump and under the dishwasher and cabinets causing damage to our hardwood flooring and cabinets. The water leaked into our basement, causing minimal damage there.

When Electrolux sent out their insurance adjuster we told them that because the damage to the basement was small, we would cover those costs ourselves. (It wasn't worth waiting to have the damage repaired down there). The $20,000 is accumulated from the following items: removal of existing damaged floor and replacement $6000; replacement of damaged cabinets $2759; countertop removal $1475-$3050 (depending on if the countertops can be removed and replaced without damage); and miscellaneous labor costs, subfloor repair/replacement, plumbing and electrical works were approximately $5,000-$7,000.

In regards to my homeowner's insurance, I contacted them when this issue first began back in January. They said that they could look into it but that it would cause our insurance rates to go up and they recommended we work with Electrolux directly to avoid this. The first claim that was submitted with Electrolux was denied, stating that the service provider did not install the replacement part properly, and that if they had, then the damage would not have occurred. Of course this is ridiculous, so I resubmitted the claim.

After resubmitting the claim, I found out that the part in question had been recalled, but it took a lot of investigating to discover this information. Even the insurance adjuster that was hired by Electrolux was unaware that the part was under recall. Electrolux told me that they would have to do some investigating of their own to see when the part was ordered and when the recall went out. Basically they needed to see if the service provider installed the part after being notified that it was recalled. In the meantime I contacted the distributor of the part and the service provider and neither was aware that the part was under recall. The only people who seem to be aware that the part is under recall is the liability department for Electrolux. I never heard anything back on the recall status. Instead I was told that Electrolux does not manufacture this specific part and, therefore, they are not responsible for damages resulting from the part. Thus the claim was denied a second time.

I then asked them if they could give me the information who manufacturers the part and they said they could submit a request to get that information, but I have yet to learn this information. I guess what frustrates me the most is that nobody is willing to take responsibility here. Everyone wants to play the blame game. The way that I see it is that if Electrolux is not responsible for the damage, then they need to release the manufacturer's information so I can contact them to take responsibility. They don't want to do this, then they need to take responsibility themselves.

And the kicker: the dishwasher is a Frigidaire brand but Electrolux is the parent company for Frigidaire. Everyone I have spoken with at Frigidaire admits fault of the part is theirs, but because the damage is above X amount of dollars, it has to be handled by their parent company Electrolux. The damage occurred to my home on January 22, 2010. I have been working diligently on this matter and have not been able to get any answers. Meanwhile, moisture and mold are major concerns of mine. The last thing that I need is to see one of my children become sick due to mold in my new home.

Our dishwasher stopped drying so we called a repairman. He found a melted spot on the underneath side of our dishwasher. The part had melted away and broken up leaving two wires with melted connectors exposed; the wires lead to the heating element. He said it was a fire hazard and that replacing the part could create a new fire hazard. The broken part would cost $50 plus labor to fix, but we are afraid of creating a new fire hazard. We will likely replace the dishwasher.

I have a Frigidaire dishwasher model number FD81050REM2. I have had it for about 14 months and of course now that the warranty is over, the wash light goes on when you hit start but that's all. I have tried to reset the unit and it doesn't work. I called customer service and they will pay for parts but that's all. The service providers they gave me all cost $130 to come out. I had a friend look at it and say it's a bad panel but they won't accept that. Then they told me they will rebate me 50% towards a new Frigidaire dishwasher well, I am still out at least $150 and I have to buy one of their models. I have looked at the reviews of these dishwashers and every comment is the same.

I am a nurse and my husband is a police officer. We have 5 children and this is a major inconvenience. I have never had an appliance be so unreliable. With 5 children we do not have the money to just go buy another one! I really don't want another one of this brand. I saw on Lowes website comment after comment of them broken within a 2 year period. I think this is appalling. I would love to see what people would say if my husband or I did the kind of quality work that fridgidare is doing?! Thank you for your time.

We purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher, model number GLD4355RFB3 that had a great rating with Consumer Reports. The dishwasher did not clean as well as the one we got rid of (Maytag) and the one before (GE). Both were builder grades and we had the latter for 15 years and the second one.

I have major water damage in my home due to a manufacturer's defect in my Frigidaire Gallery Series dishwasher. I am desperately looking for anyone else who has had such issues. The installer tells me it is a defect of this particular washer that caused my damages. Electrolux has deep pockets, so I'm trying to do some research to see if this might be an issue with this product. Anyone else with the same problem?

I have Model FDB4315LFB3. About 2 weeks ago, the top control panel started to act weird. I pushed normal wash, and it wouldn't light up. So I pushed speed clean, and that worked. The next time I tried to push normal wash, it again did not work. I tried the speed clean button, and that didn't work either. Trying anything, I pushed buttons until something lit up. That was eco wash and air dry. That is what we are stuck on now. If I try to push other buttons, the dishwasher will start to run and then stop. I cannot cancel anything. I contacted Frigidaire tech support, but still haven't heard back from them. What am I supposed to do?

Contacted Frigidaire and response was sorry there's nothing we can do but offer a rebate towards a purchase of a new dishwasher. I really feel that this unit is condemned and should be recalled! My experience with has been a nightmare and will never buy another frigidaire product again!

In 1999 my husband and I purchased the Frigidaire Gallery, professional series fridge, range and DISHWASHER. the set was working fine until about 5 years the dishwasher kept getting stuck at one part of the cycle and the red heat delay light would come on. We would have to check it each time it was put on and click the dial over to the next part for it to continue then it would stick again near the rinse cycle and the same light would come on. Once we clicked it again it seemed to finish okay. we got used to this but had to remember to only put it on when we were around to check on it and not to leave it running all night. If we forgot to check what part of the cycle it was on before we went to sleep it would still be on when we woke up!

It also leaks around the front bottom edge of the door, so I leave a towel down to catch the drips, thankfully we have ceramics in the kitchen so no floor damage. Just a big puddle in the middle of the floor sometimes.

Also the brakets that hold it onto the counter snapped and the unit fell forward and almost landed on me, I had to rig up a new device since it ripped the particle board apart so that I can't screw into that area of the counter.

Won't be getting a Frigidaire again.

I got almost exactly 13 months out of that dishwasher and now need to buy a new one. Frigidaire does not stand behing their product and it's no wonder why, their products are built to last one year. The dishwasher cost $350.00 but they never told me it was only for a one year rental.

Yesterday my Frigidaire dishwasher Model #FDB956RBC1 caught on fire. Luckily, I was able to put it out with minimal damage but it could have been so much worse. I bought the dishwasher in 2003. The fire department said it looked like it was due to the sensor under the dishwasher shorted out. But we are not clear, nothing had melted onto the heating element in the bottom.

My house has major water damage from my dishwasher less than 1 and 1/2 years, started leaking not from the connection but evidently from faulty parts.

My husband and I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher, Model GLD4355RFB3 at Sears. It was installed on December 31, 2008. Six months later we noticed the top rack of the dishwasher was hard to pull in and out. The apparent problem is the brackets that are attached to the top rack on both sides of the unit are being pulled toward the center causing the difficulty for the top rack to glide smoothly. We contacted Frigidaire and explained the problem, but all the rep suggested was that they could only replace the necessary parts. Of course, the parts were replaced with new, but identical parts for that model. This has not resolved the problem. We believe this unit was poorly designed and/or contains inferior hardware. We searched on-line for info on this model, but we could not find any nor could we find a store that still carried this dishwasher. Are there any other complaints on file regarding the same problem with this model?

Charge Dispute: My wife and I purchased a number of appliances including a Frigidaire dishwasher from Best Buy on November 6 2008. As a result of delays in our kitchen renovation project we were not able to install these appliances until the first week of March of 2009.

After the dishwasher was installed I noticed water on the floor along side of the dishwasher. At first glance I thought the unit was leaking while running, however a closer look revealed that there was a substantial amount of water condensing on the bottom of our countertop just above the dishwasher. This was then dripping onto the floor. After more investigations I saw that when running the unit does not propel the air away from the dishwasher during its' wash cycle. It drifts up alone each side and creates this condensation.

I contacted Best Buy by phone during the second week of March and described the problem to them but was informed that since it was more than 30 days past the purchase date that they could do nothing for me. I was told that I should contact a representative for Frigidaire service directly. I then repeatedly tried to contact the local Frigidaire repair representative. I left multiple messages on their answering machine regarding this problem but my calls were never returned and no one from their company came to our house. The repair service information is listed below: Alliance Appliance, PO Box, Rock Hill NY 12775

After this I contacted Frigidaire service directly with my complaint. I was told that someone would contact me and that a service call would be scheduled. The Frigidaire service claim number is # 84798 as listed above. An investigation of this service claim number should reveal that I reported this problem in March and that an inspection was never performed. Also, contrary to the statement from Best Buy this claim should provide proof that there is a problem with a product that was purchased from them.

I did get a call from a Frigidaire service tech from Florida named Mike (we are located in upstate NY) and described the problem to him. He told me that he would send someone to look at the dishwasher, however to date no one has ever come to my house to perform an inspection on the dishwasher. This service claim has not been resolved to our satisfaction. This condensation is a serious problem as it can lead to mold and deterioration of our new kitchen countertop. In addition my wife has mold allergies exacerbating the potential health hazard.

I have attached a photograph illustrating the condensation. The appliance was installed by a professional plumber according to the manufacturers instructions. All clearances and measurements were observed. This is a possible design defect and is posing a serious health issue in addition to potentially damaging our new kitchen. Prior to disputing this charge we had tried all other channels to resolve this issue with both Best Buy and Frigidaire but have gotten no satisfaction from either.

As consumers we have the right to be able purchase products that neither pose a health hazard nor damage our property. In those cases where a product is defective in either manufacturing or design and neither the retail vendor nor the manufacturer are willing to provide a satisfactory resolution of the problem then consumer protection laws will be invoked. Therefore we feel in this case that a full refund for the price of the appliance is warranted.

I bought a Frigidaire Dishwasher (Model#GLD2445RFCO)from ABC Warehouse in Southgate, MI on 10/26/07. The dishwasher worked fine until about 4/10/09 (One and a half years!!!), and then stopped cleaning our dishes. The heating element works fine, which is quite evident from the "cooked on" food which is now all over our entire dish set. I have had RSI Appliance Service of Livonia, MI out on 3 seperate occasions to fix this unit. They have replaced the wash pump assembly, heating element, tub seal, and splash guard without success.

When the repair person was out the last time to fix it, he told my wife there is nothing else left to fix, and that the next step is to replace the entire unit. However, RSI sent the final work order to Frigidaire saying that the unit was fixed, and that there is nothing wrong with the unit. IT STILL DOES NOT CLEAN DISHES. RSI told me that I must contact Frigidaire again, but Frigidaire is telling me I must contact RSI.

Meanwhile, my dishwasher is still broken. The unit cost me $457 and only lasted 1.5 years. I would like a full refund from Frigidaire for the unit (they can have it!). Frigidaire customer service reps put customers on hold for 25 minutes and don't come back on the line...... Frigidaire's service company RSI will not respond to me. Not sure what else I can do besides eat the $457. I will never, never, and I mean never buy another Frigidaire product as long as I live. They are rude, unresponsive, and do not back what they sell to customers. What a rip off!

Serial TH72930443

The dishwasher leaks. The water pours out of the bottom.

A reputable appliance repairman said that he has never seen a design like the one in this Frigidaire. The area in question is engineered with a clip to seal it in place instead of a threaded system or screws. It's the area between the bottom of the dishwasher and the pump.

The repairman can not stop the leak.

On May 20, 2009 I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher at this retailer. I picked up the unit and paid a professional plumber to install it. As it turns out, when the plumber ran a test cycle the motor was making very loud noises and recommended calling the manufacturer. The manufacturer gave me a referral to a local appliance service company, Allen & Sons whom I called. A technician came out the following day and told me the motor was defective and needed to be replaced. I then called the manufacturer back and refused the repair.

I felt I was entitled to a new unit considering I paid full price for a brand new unit to begin with, one that worked and I didn't feel like it was fair that having never even being able to use it once should I have to have it repaired. They did agree to replace and install the dishwasher and delivered it to the same retailer I originally bought it from. This past Saturday, a week after the original diagnosis, a man named JD, our sales man from the Warehouse Discount Center called and left a message to have the broken unit uninstalled and return it and pick up the new unit.

When I called him today he told me that they would not pick up or deliver and that they would not pay to have it installed. . He was so rude, I then asked for my money back because I feel like I am not being treated fairly and he told me that not only does he not have to give me my money back but if he did he would charge me a 25% re-stocking fee. On my receipt it does say that "unless defective" there "could be" a restocking fee. At this point I am so unsettled at the way I am being treated and the fact that I dont feel it is my responsibility to pay for an technician to come and uninstall the old and reinstall the new unit. I already paid to have the broken one delivered and installed once

We bought this dishwasher less than two months ago and now the hidden touch pad is going haywire. I have looked on the web for recalls and I'm beginning to believe this dishwashers touch pad is very defective, since I've read about so many of these touch pads on the dishwasher having to be replaced.

I purchased this model in July 2008. In November 2008 the unit leaked and it took until December 22nd for them to replace a faulty gasket (Frigidaire knew the gasket was designed faulty).

In May 2009, the dishwasher stopped working because steam had reached the main control circuitboard. I realized that this was a design flaw that affects many Frigidaire models and blogged about it.

We have a Ultraquiet III dishwasher that we purchased new from Lowe's. As of late, the dishwasher has caused major problems as a result of the unit not draining the water out of the basin. The water in the basin leaked out and ruined the wood floors in front, under and behind the unit. this cost me $ 5200.00 in repairs in april of this year. we had a technician come out and replace the draining unit and now less than a month later it has done the exact thing! My floors are once again bowed from the unit not extracting the water from the basin.

I have contacted the repair facility again regarding this and I am contacting the Better business Bureau regarding Frigidaire.

This is totally unacceptable to be facing another repair of this magnitude within a month after repairing the unit. Needless to say , we are completely done with Frigidaire

I originally purchased the 4000 series aquasurge in Oct 06. By summer of 07 it started having error code vo/uo and would start and stop either before it started washing or about 10 minutes later. The repairman replaced the control panel the first time, then put a rubber gasket around the thing to pull it out from under the cabinets some the next time, then replace the panel the next time! It finally overheated and melted some dishes (complete with black smoke coming from it) and Frigidaire replaced it with same model which broke down with same problems by the next summer! It was replaced again by Frigidaire since it was less than a year old and I have had this one repaired at least 3 times already.

Lowe's (place I purchased it from) can't/won't do anything because technically it is less than a year old and not covered yet by my extended warranty. I called Frigidaire Monday and said I want a replacement, but NOT THIS MODEL, but they won't replace until the repairman says it's not "cost efficient" to keep repairing it!

C. My hot water is too HOT for the dishwasher and makes too much steam!

GIVE ME A BREAK! I will NEVER purchase a Frigidaire item AGAIN! OI have a Frigidaire stove and fridge and have had problems with them too? One more thing. I am tired of calling customer service and getting foreigners who sort of speak English but have no clue about how American customer service should work!

In September of 2007 we did a minor remodel and replaced all of our kitchen appliances. We made the purchase through Lowe's and chose their exclusive Frigidaire Elements collection - a refrigerator, freestanding range, dishwasher and over-the-range microwave.

Within the first year the dishwasher began to stop working mid-cycle and an "error" message would appear on the digital display. It was still under warranty so we had it repaired and we bought an extended warranty (on the advice of the repairman). Thankfully we did because it was less than 6 months later and the same problem began again. When dealing with this problem we must restart the machine from the beginning - many times repeating it over and over until it would finally complete the cycle. Sometimes we'd get so frustrated (and figured the dishes must be thoroughly washed after so many attempts) that we'd just put it on the rinse cycle to try to get it done. Eventually not only the standard wash cycle wouldn't complete but now none of the cycles will complete and the repairman has been called out again.

Ironically shortly after we made the appointment for the dishwasher to be looked at the microwave stopped heating. It appears to be functioning (power is on and it's going through the motions) but it doesn't heat anything much less cook. The 1-year warranty has expired on this and we're being told it will be anywhere between $150 and $450 to repair it depending on which (or all) of several things that may be wrong.

We are at our wit's end wondering what will be next. Needless to say we are very dissatisfied with the quality of the products we were sold and most certainly will look elsewhere when the time comes to replace them (which may be sooner rather than later...)

Frigidaire Plastic Dishwasher Tub Caught fire! My dishwasher is 10 years old. White was the manufacturer then but my In-laws have a Kenmore that's less than 5 years with the same interior parts. I learned how to maintain it myself, unclog the sprayer arms and make sure the heating element is in the clips and not warping or touching the plastic tub. The dishwasher has worked well enough for its lifetime. I started a wash cycle one night before going to bed. I woke to my alarm clock the next morning and heard a hissing noise. I found a flood im my kitchen! The water feed line to my refrigerator sprung a leak behind the dishwasher. There was a funny burnt smell in the air which I figured the Dishwasher motor may have suffered water damage while running.

After cleaning up the mess I reached for a clean bowl in the dishwasher. It finished its cycle, as expected, and the Clean light was on. I found everything inside it was covered with soot and there is a hole 4 inches wide and nearly a foot high burned through the back of the tub! The heater tube broke apart. The heating element wire expanded out of the tube and ignited the plastic tub! The burning plastic dripped to the floor, passing the plastic water feed line and burning a hole in it which apparently extinguished the fire. The dishwasher continued on until its cycle completed. The Dishwasher is properly connected on its own 15amp circuit. A GFCI is not required.

I don't like using plastic plumbing on projects but I'm counting my blessings with this one. I don't blame Frigidaire directly for this. But does the appliance industry and governing bodies actually think a plastic tub with a heating element is a safe design? New codes require a service disconnect switch on the wall above the unit. I will install a GFCI service switch and my new dishwasher will have a stainless steel tub.

Our dishwasher does not clean like its supposed to. Dirty grimy sandy like dishes! Even the spinning element fell off onto the heating rod making a small burnt hole on the spinning element.

I pruchased a frigidare ultra quiet 111 diswasher at ABC Warehouse in Dearborn in december of 2008. From the beginning the unit was loud, did not drain all the water after a cycle and the dishers were not cleaned properly. Frigidare was called on several times but they continue to state that the unit is designed that way. Water in the bottom of the tub after a cycle is supposed to be normal. I finally have taken the unit out of service. I would not recommend that anyone buy that brand.

I had to purchase another diswasher that cost ne $415.00 again.

The next day I took off the plastic electric panel and removed the circuit board and found is had caught fire and almost melted the board in half. After reading the reviews, I don't think I will waist my time calling the manuf. or trying to replace the part for $157.00 and have it burn my house down or have another problem. Just another peice of crap, made in Mexico stamped on the board.

I purchased a Frigidaire Professional Series dishwasher. I had a new kitchen installed and then the new appliances, dishwasher included. After one year I realized that there was moisture leaking from the door hinge area of the dishwasher causing major damage to my new kitchen cabinets. I purchased this appliance on my American Express card which honours a double your warranty policy. The store where I purchased this dishwasher refused to help me. said I should contact a service guy to determine the problem.

I contacted the recommended company for this Frigidaire product who came to check out the problem. He picked at the dishwasher not knowing why this could happen as he had never heard of such a thing, then he took the control panel out and it blew. now I have no power and the dishwasher doesn't work. My issue was only about the moisture leaking out through the door hinge area damaging my new kitchen.

Finally, after some time without a working dishwasher the repair guy returned, replaced the boards after I refused to pay since he broke it picking at the machine, and off he went. I am still no further ahead with determining why this dishwasher leaks steam and moisture during its cycle. I have contacted Frigidaire, their customer service is terrible and no one you can speak to about it. The store where I purchased it refused to help me saying there is nothing they can do. So now I have a new dishwasher, GE by the way, and the 1.5 year old Frigidaire sits in the garage.

We were washing dishes when a plastic burning smell came from the dishwasher. We bought the dishwasher a year ago thinking it was going to last us for a long time. Now we are scared to run it at all.

Tried to call 800 number but no one to answer. Hmmm the blogs are right frigidaire does not care. We have had to turn the breaker off in order to feel safe. What else should we do if the company is not going to do anything about this? They don't care about thier comapany why should we.

i recieved a call from a nieghbor at the condo that my two daughters live at and that i own. there was a strong oder of an electrical fire type smell filling the entire building. the fire department came. it was from the dish washer that was NOT on. no one was at home.we feel so blessed that it was not in the middle of the night with devistating consequences. we checked on line and found similar episodes. the next day we contacted the company only to be told that if it were a manufacturing issue it would have been noted sooner and that we were not covered by warranty. they (i believe knowingly) missed the point that there is a recuurent and possibly deadly defect in their product. PLEASE DO NOT BUY fridgidare/electrolux products if this is how little they value the lives of thier customers

Tonight as I was running the diswaher my kitchen filled with smoke and there was an orange glow next to the wall. after immediately turning off the circuit breaker I pulled the built in dishwasher out to find all of the wiring under the dishwasher had the plastic coating melted off. This was Frigidaire model # FDB510LCS2

Fortunately we were home and there was no damage to our home however we no longer have a dishwasher.

Our Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher caught fire. We woke up in the middle of the night to a house filling with smoke and an overwhelming smell of burning plastic. We came down to see our dishwasher break out in flames. Fortunately, we were prepared with smoke alarms and a fire extinguisher, and were able to put the flames out. The fire department came and confirmed that the dishwasher control panel caused the fire. We contacted both Frigidaire and Electrolux by email. We explained the incident, and asked to be contacted. We gave email, mailing address and phone number, but they have not contacted us.

Internet research showed us that there are several other incidents of this brand of dishwasher catching fire.

Luckily, our 4 children and my husband and I were all safe. Other than my children being afraid to go to sleep at night now, the clean up, and the cost of a new dishwasher there were no major consequences. We are so lucky. From what I found on the internet, we are certainly NOT the first family this has happened to with a Frigidaire product. I hope the next family this happens to is as lucky as we were.

My 15mo. daughter cut the back of her heel on the kick board of the Frigidaire Stainless Steal Professional Series dishwasher we have. We contacted the company and they had us call out a technician at our cost to see if this unit is a defect. The technician said it is a raw edge that is exposed and filled out all of the paperwork for the investigation. We have contacted Frigidaire 3 times and have had no luck with them, we just get transfered to another voice mail and never get a response back.

When my daugher cut her foot, it required 17 stitches to put her heel back on. We spent hundreds of dollars on Medical bills, bandages, missed wages, not to mention my daughter will never have feeling in the back of her left foot. The cut was so deep it went through her nerves.

Jerry came out to install the part that had been diagnosed as the problem. When completed, he set the timer on the dishwasher to 19 minutes. It seemed to be running ok so he left after a couple of minutes. In checking when the cycle had finished, the dishwasher was showing the same error codes as before the repair. I called to inform them. They said Jerry would be back within 15 minutes and he was. He walked through the door, looked at the machine and said the problem occurred during installation and would cost $65 to repair. When I said that wasn't going to happen, he started to look further into the problem. He had to call for help in finding the cause of the problem and again stated the problem occurred during installation - it was a cracked venting block.

I used professional appliance installers that were recommended by the dealer. They were very efficient and knowledgeable. It took Michael's since December 31st and 2 visits to find the cause. (I was out of town for 2 weeks due to the death of my mother during all this, so not all of the delay was due to Michael's, just the majority). How could the repairman state the problem was caused by the installation before he actually knew what the cause of the problem was? On February 3, 2009 I placed 2 calls to Frigidaire to get resolution and was cut off both times. I called back a 3rd time to speak with a supervisor and was told it was too late in the day. I would need to call back tomorrow. Michael's is being very disreputable and probably just trying to make a few extra dollars. Frigidaire is less than helpful.

The consequence is that I have not been able to use a brand new dishwasher for over 2 months. It operated for about 2 weeks. The warranty seems to be worthless.

I own dishwasher model # FDB1500LFSO. What a piece of junk. I purchased this from Lowes on Feb.23, 2008 for 300$. By November 10, 2008 the drain moter/pump had gone out. I called Frididaire and was put through a great deal of over the phone diagnostic. I was assured a technician from National Appliance Repair would be calling me soon as a warrenty service provider wasnt in my area. I waited 5 days and still no word so I repeated my call to electrolux. They said they would look into it.

Finally National Appliance calls me 2 weeks later and says they want to listen to the dishwasher run over the phone and will tell me what is wronge with it. I was pretty mad at this point because they refused to send a tech out to look at it. They said it is the drain pump and the part will be ordered and at my door in 3 days. Well after a week and no parts I called electrolux again and they said they would look into it.

Another 2 weeks and several phone calls with many times being hung up upon finally I called National Appliance and got thru to someone who tried to help. They informed me the parts were on back order and well they said to call electrolux. Electrolux shipped me the part after anouther 2 weeks waiting. I got a repair tech out here finally last week on Jan. 23, 2009. And it still doesnt drain properly and smells like burnt plastic every time it runs.

I live in an area with high water bills, we bought this dishwasher to save water ( its energy star)> While my dishwasher was down I saw an increase of around 35$ each month in my water bill. The three holidays where horrible and dishes kept stacking up faster than we could wash them (small sink) Headaches of hold times, the run around of whos fault it was, stress, worry and plain out frustration. Shame on Electrolux.

I have had issues with my Frigidaire dishwasher since it was purchased in December of 2006. It stopped working by January of 2007. The same part was replaced 4 times. The company told me that they would replace the dishwasher 2 times...never did it.

I purchased a Frigidare Gallery series dishwasher in 2005.It has been sitting in my kitchen empty and unplugged for a year now.The heating element in this diswasher never shut off. It just sat there geting hotter and hotter.Many of the interior parts melted down and the smell, is what drew my attention to the problem. I am fortunate that I was home at the time or I am certian that it would of eventually caught fire. I contacted the manufacturer to determine if there had been a recall on this dishwasher and was told that they had no record of this happening before.

I bought a Fridgidaire dishwasher 4000 series aqua surge in Aug 2007 It has broken down 3 times now it is completely dead no longer working they refuse to take it back or give me credit towards another dishwasher apparently this dishwasher has a steam problem that leaks and blows the circuit board i am complettely disappointed that seawrs will not do anything but offer me 10%off my next dishwasher that i buy through them.

I paid $670.00 a year ago

I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher on 01/26/2008 and it began leaking water on 10/17/08. I called for warranty repair and a serviceman came out on 10/21/08. He stated that there was a defect in the heating element that had melted the tub and that I would be getting a new dishwasher. When the serviceman (A&E Factory Service) called into Frigidaire for replacement, he was informed that they now replace the heating element and tub and do not replace the whole dishwasher with a new unit. I was fine with that and was told that the parts would be in by 10/24/08 and delivered directly from Frigidaire to my property. After not receiving any parts or calls, I contacted A&E regarding the parts and they showed that the parts were on backorder with Frigidaire. I then contacted Frigidaire on the same day and was told to expect the parts on or before 10/31/08. I am still awaiting the parts. This is ridiculous!!

This dishwasher is in a condominium owned by us and we may loose our tenant over this.

I purchased frigidaire dish washer model #PLD4375 RFCO 400 series (stainless steel) on 6-19-07. It's beautiful! Too bad it's a piece of junk! In the spring of '08 I had to call for repair, the digital control panel burnt out. I called the service guy for 3 to 4 months,finally I got really irate & threatening to the place I bought it from, and they sent someone out a couple weeks later. It now for the past 2 months has been making a weird noise and does't dry the dishes at all!

I called and of course I got a Nashville phone # from them. She told me they had no record of the extende warranty I bought, the salesman no longer works there, and I pd cash! Most people get extra warranties for an appliance that was over $500.00! They offered to send a tech out, of course at my cost, and it is the same one I waited for last time! People have actually had this model dishwaher catch fire and cause damage, Frigidaire needs to recall or replace these fire hazards!

I saved for months to finally get my stainless steel top of the line 'oh and quiet (not hardly),I live on social security, and anyone on ss knows how hard it is to save money!

We purchased a frigidaire builtin dishwasher in June of 2006. And now the bearings are going out in it and it makes an awful high pitch sound when operating. And of course the warranty is no longer good. Very DISAPPOINTED.

I talked to a repair shop and he told me iam better off spending my money on a new one instead of paying him to fix it, but not a FRIGIDAIRE product.

Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher caught on fire! We normally do not think anything of starting the dishwasher before we leave the house or before we go to bed. Never again! Luckily, we were home, awake and in the kitchen when there was a loud pop followed by smoke and flames in the control panel. It took a few blasts from our fire extinguisher into the vent panel on the door to put out the flames.

I am sure that had we not been home, our house would have burned down and our three wonderful dogs would have perished. Shame on Frigidaire for building a product like this! Dishwasher is in the dumpster. Luckily, the flames were extinguished before the fire could spread to the laminate countertop.

We istalled a new Dishwasher profesional series. After less than 9 Months of use, The Electronic touch at the top of stopped working.

In July 2008 the door of my Dishwasher pro series starting making loud creaking sounds everytime it was opened. We thought that nothing to it at first but the noise kept getting louder and louder. After trying to figure out what was wrong with out any luck we contacted company. The latest problem is that the lght in the panel flashes on everytime the door is opened or closed. What next

The company sent out a technician, who said that it was the manufacturers fault and should be replaced. It is now two months that I have been calling the company every day. Some days I am told that the technician has not turned in the report, other days that the review department is reviewing the recommendation of the technician and I will receive a call in 72 hours. Still waiting for the call. It goes on and all the while, I can't use the dishwasher

Have a Frigidaire Gallery Professional Series Dishwasher. P/N 154371501. The computer/control panel caught FIRE. This is located just behind the buttons. Not cool.

Had to replace unit. Recalls?

Our frigidaire dishwaher caught on fire tonight. There was a load pop and when we investigated the noise we found smoke pouring out of the door of the dishwasher. It was not even in use when this happened. We were just lucky that we were at home so I could turn off the breaker.

It seems the the timers fail, blow up and catch on fire. This is what seemed to happened with ours. This issue needs to be addressed by frigidiare. We were lucky as we will just be out the price of a new dishwasher. Thank god we were home at the time of the melt down. I will be interested in taking this further if frigidaire does not give do anything about what happened with our dishwasher. They need to address this issue. Dishwasher: Professional Series Age: Less than 5 years Loud pop an smoke poured from the door. The dishwasher was not in use when it caught on fire. Circiut breaker did not blow, it was a 15 amp breaker.

We had no damage but we were home to turn off the breaker to the dishwasher.

I purchased a stainless steel Frigidaire dishwasher in February 2008. Had it installed in March 24, 2008. Four days later, on March 28th, I tried to wash a small load of dishes in the dishwasher and noticed that even though the dishwasher was still running (through the initial wash cycle), there was water being splashed on the wall and floor! I immediately turned off the dishwasher and tried it again.

While watching closely, when the washer arm began to spray the water, the door popped open about an inch, continued to run and began to spray water on my wall again. I called on Saturday and a tech arrived on Monday. He said the latch assembly didn't work and would need to order a new part (which would take 7-8 days). After 9 days, I called and was told that it had not come in.

On the 10th day, was contacted that it was in and the tech is supposed to come out tomorrow to fix it. He said it should only take about five minutes to fix, so I'm hopeful this takes care of things. I'll be honest, however. After reading all these horror stories, I'm very leary that this might not hold and, worst of all, have a Frigidaire range that is only a few months old that I'm worried will fail me, also. So far, so good. But I'll NEVER try to use my self-cleaning feature on the range after hearing about the glass shattering spontaneously, and will also never leave my stove on unattended (even though a feature will allow delayed cooking). I will never buy from Frigidaire again and am sorry for the losses experienced by others on this site!

I had to leave work and stay at my home while the initial diagnosis was made, plus time spent to search for a repair store and for numerous phone calls to them (Mr. Appliance). My dishwasher has not run for two weeks (as of tomorrow), and was only 4 days old when it stopped working. I will need to leave work again tomorrow to be here when the repairman arrives again. I'm just hoping this will fix the problem. It was a $600 dishwasher!

I purchased a Fridgedaire dishwasher in November 2006. On October 2007 it caught fire and burned my house down along with my dog. It was not running a wash at the time. I have been told that it was the control panel that caught fire. I lost my home, my possessions, and my pet of 13 years.

I have lost everything. I had insurance that covered most of the loss, but I have since had to move. I cannot return to my home of 20 years.

I bought a house in July of this year 2007. The former owners had just installed a New Frigidaire Dishwasher. This was without a doubt the worst excuse for a water circulator I have ever seen. When I put my dirty dishes in the dishwaher, I expect to take clean dishes out. I tried new detergents, I finally resorted to washing the dishes and even then they would come out with food caked on them.

This machine is so backward, it will wash the top rack of glasses and then the bottom rack but it doesn't wash the entire load at the same time.

RESULT? DIRTY DISHES

After a month of taking dishes out of the washer dirtier than they went in, I purchased a new Maytag to replace it. The dishwasher that was supposedly only a few months old when I bought my house is now taking up space in the garage. I have tried giving it to Habitat for Humanity, it appears they know about Frigidaire's reputation and refused it as an unsatisfactory appliance.

I bought a Frigidaire Dishwasher and after two years of use, it caught fire. I unloaded the unit and then closed the door and left the room. The next thing I knew, the smoke detector was going off and the kitchen was filled with white smoke. The unit was making a sizzling noise. The scary thing here was that this happened without even turing the unit on. I am glad that I did not leave the house, it could have all been gone!

I have replaced two front panels on a Frigidaire Professional Series Dishwasher. The front door is stainless steel but the front control panel is plastic; BIG MISTAKE!! This is a factory defect that needs to be addressed. The vent for the heat cycle is located in the plastic panel. After a few months the panel becomes discolored from the heat and steam residue and cannot be cleaned. It turns the panel white. It looks terrible. My local dealer has been wonderful and has replaced both panels. The dishwasher is 1.5 years old. I wonder if Frigidaire is going to replace panels for me every 6 months for the rest of the life of the dishwasher. Come on Frigidaire; what kind of testing do you put these machines through before you market them?

Frigidaire Dishwasher that does not clean! I am so angry with the service I did not recieve from this company. After 2 independent contractors came out to inspect my dishwasher and informed me that per the manual I need to run my hot water first for a cleaning. I was dumb founded. No where in any of the frigidaire brochures did it say this but after purchasing the dishwasher opening the crate and dishwasher door I got to the manual that states this even though this dishwasher is advertised with a variable delay start!

What the heck is the point of a delay start if you have to run down right before it and run hot water through your faucet to get your dishwasher to actually clean the dishes? Well that is what I asked Frigidaire and after 4 representatives it ended with an Angel Prescott (I'm sure this is her business name) who informed me that since the product is not malfunctioning this is in essence my problem that the dishwasher is not in an ideal situation, (mind you my old one that was 4 years old ran perfectly fine off the same water line). And that frigidaire had not falsely advertised their product with the variable delay because it says in plain black and white in the manual that I may need to run the faucet to draw hot water in the line!

Ok never again will I buy Frigidaire or Electrolux! I have had other problems with a kitchenaid product and received stellar customer service. Now Figidaire left me with a falsely advertised product that can't perform in a basic factory setting. Oh and to boot Miss Angel said the CEO Keith McGoughlin does not speak with his customers nor can I email him or leave voicemails. Ok, so let me get this straight you run a company but won't check in with your consumers? Why should we buy from you!?!

My Frigidaire dishwasher (pro series) within 1 year has had 2 electric panels and 2 touch pad panels replaced. Frigidaire electric slide in range (also pro series) when using burner(s) the back right burner will turn itself on (keep in mind the knob is set to off, perfectly vertical) and you cannot shut it off. This has happened twice - both times had to hit the circuit braker because you cannot shut burner off. Very strange and scary.

Only thing worse than Frigidaires products is their service!!!

I purchased a Frigidaire GLD3450RD dishwasher. In less then 6 months the control panel failed. It was repaired and no more then 2 months later it failed again. After a third failure the company replaced the unit with a brand new unit which failed with the same problem after 2 or 3 weeks. It was once again repaired and now it has failed again. That is 5 control panel failures in less then 9 months. I asked about a recall and the representative on the phone said this was not a common issue.

After going on-line it appears that this is a very common problem and a design flaw. The panel can not manage the moisture from the unit when steam is created. This shorts the unit out and causes it to stop mid cycle in error. This has been a nightmare purchase and a horrible company to work with. There should be a recall on this unit. I found about a dozen stories of the same issue on epinions.com and yet the company says it's not an issue.

I have had to take several days off of work to deal with this same problem. The frequent repairs and replacement has caused damage to my wood floor.

I am completely disatisfied with their answers. Instead of paying ?$20.00 or less &SH, I must now evaluate whether I should repair it or not and possibly re-invest in another Dishwasher. Fortunately, I have done the work myself, otherwise, I would have service call charges wasted as well.
