We renovated a 1971 kitchen only 2 years ago and purchased the Frigidaire professional series: oven, fridge and dishwasher for a total of $5,000 through Sears. The side by side fridge doors never have closed properly from day one. When you close one side, the other side pops open and remains ajar. For the last year, we've had problems with the panel on the stove. The element buttons work occasionally and we've had to trip the breaker because we've had so much trouble with the 'cancel' button not working. I, too, thought Frigidaire was an established brand name and would have quality products. We live in a remote northern Canadian town where repair services are not available. I would never purchase Frigidaire again and certainly after reading the other posts, I am on my way to check the bulb in my fridge.

It first started with the stove. After three months of using it, the cooktop began to pit. It appeared to be chipping. Never once did I cut on it. A couple of times, I did boil over macaroni. The cooktop was replaced but I did have to pay for the service guy to come and replace it. Then, one of the computer boards in the water/ice dispenser burned up. It began to smoke and stink. I again had to call for service, which I had to pay a service call for and a labor charge. When the new board was put in, it was a bad board and it burned the second board. This adventure was around $400.00 by the time I was through, for something that was under warranty. Now, my microwave isn't heating and the magnetron is under warranty for ten years. However, by the time I finish paying a diagnostic fee and a labor charge, I really paid for the part! I will never buy Frigidaire products again!

We have been highly disappointed with our Frigidaire Products (owned by Electrolux). We bought Frigidaire Gallery Professional Series in 2003, a refrigerator, a range, a microwave and a dishwasher. So far, we have had the fridge repaired four times, the range once due to a recall item and now the microwave quit working. We are waiting for something to go wrong with the dishwasher. Frigidaire used to be a reliable company, no longer. I would strongly recommend not buying their products. Frigidaire customer service's only comment was to say they were sorry for the inconvenience.

My issue isn't as dramatic as some I've read, but nonetheless I am furious. I have a 5-year-old Frigidaire refrigerator and last night, I was going to clean under the crisper drawers. When I started taking it apart, I noticed the plastic frame was badly cracked. I called Frigidaire because that piece has no weight on it other than bread and other lightweight items, and should never break let alone in 5 years. They refused to do anything about it, and the "discounted" price they offered me was considerably more than online resellers of this part. I told them that was a ridiculous price since they are the manufacturer. Even worse, customer service said that they weren't willing to replace it at no charge. They didn't seem to care. I will never buy another Frigidaire product if this is what they call customer service.

I got a new house, and I and my wife went appliance shopping. We got sold on Frigidaire Professional series appliances (refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher). I gotta say ever since I had them, I have always had issues with them. You would think you spend over $3,000 on appliances and they would last over 4-5 years. First, the refrigerator started acting up, then 2 heating coils broke on the flat-top oven. The microwave shorted out, and my dishwasher control board caught fire and almost burned my house down (Thank God, I was up and smelled it.). I contacted Frigidaire, and they took no responsibility at all. They told me it would be a few weeks and I would get some info in the mail. Needless to say, I never received it; and a second call to Frigidaire has the same outcome.
Being in the customer service field, I say "Shame on Frigidaire." I share my horror story with every customer I can. There's no accountability, respect, integrity, or servanthood on Frigidaire's part. With the customer service I have received, I will never purchase another Frigidaire/Electrolux product. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. I will not be fooled again by Frigidaire products. They received my payment once but lost a potential lifetime customer. When I am asked by others on what appliances they should purchase and which company will stand by their products, Frigidaire/Electrolux will be the one I tell them to stay away from. Not only will the appliances malfunction prematurely, but they are a safety hazard in your home. At this point, I have no Frigidaire/Electrolux products in my home (Craigslist free ad with warnings). My wife and I both decided they are not worth keeping for family safety reasons.

Be warned, this is the worst appliance in the world. We spent $2500 for the Frigidaire gallery 4 piece set, the stove top burner sticks, the dishwasher makes a loud noise and my refrigerator/freezer has been off and broken since Thanksgiving 2011. It's now Easter 2012, a ** joke. They have the worst customer service and they even think the repairman is any better. He fixed it and it broke again 2 weeks later. Piece of **, do not buy this product. Absolute crap.

I would caution anyone any one who is considering purchasing a Frigidaire product. We purchased a complete Frigidaire Gallery stainless steel set of appliances for our kitchen. In 10 months, we have had issues with every single appliance. It first started with our fridge. The compressor was bad right when we received it. Our appliance vendor replaced it. Afterwards, it also started leaking water on our hardwood floors in our newly built custom house and spoiled all of our groceries. We called Frigidaire to file a complaint and also asked for a food credit to replace the $700 Costco trip we had just put in there. The response was basically, "We don't really care and we don't do food credits anymore - read line 22 of your warranty.”
When our appliance vendor finally replaced the fridge (what a battle this was), they gave us a free "upgrade" to a Frigidaire Professional series. Days after delivery, the fridge leaked a ton of water on the floors again. The repairman came and discovered a bad water valve and repaired it. A couple of months later, our microwave started arching. Talk about a scary and dangerous situation. We had yet another repairman out and he fixed it. While fixing it, he shared with us the philosophy of many appliance companies. They basically make cheap stuff and it needs to be fixed often. It’s a sad realization after you spend thousands on appliances.
Just recently, we have had our gas range have a gas valve go bad and then our dishwasher flooded our kitchen due to a bad gasket. I have had to fight with the appliance vendor to get them to take our appliances back and allow us to get another line of them. It has been extremely frustrating. I don't even want to see the Frigidaire logo at this point and will never buy anything from them again. I would caution anyone who is considering Frigidaire. I wouldn't take something of theirs even if it was free.

My wife and I purchased all new appliances for our house. We naively chose Frigidaire Gallery series, thinking Frigidaire, being a name brand, would be of good quality. So far, in less than 1 year of ownership, we have had 2 service calls on the refrigerator, 1 on the microwave, and 3 on the dishwasher. The refrigerator ice maker is again broken, this time dribbling water inside of our refrigerator. The dishwasher is again making terribly loud noises. I am appalled at the poor quality of these appliances. The two major issues overall are with the top ice maker of the refrigerator, which creates little igloo shaped pieces of ice, and the main water circulating motor on the dishwasher. Both are flawed designs, and need to be recalled. Both warrant a class action lawsuit. They could be repaired a thousand times, and they will just keep breaking. Dishwasher: Model# FGHD2433KF1. Refrigerator: Model# LGUB2642LF2. Microwave: Model# FGBM185KFB.

Frigidaire Model# FGUN2642LF0 main control board went out. First company they recommended to do the repair did not show up to repair it so we called another local company who bypassed the compressor so it would stay cool until the part showed up. The part will take 7-10 days to arrive. The bypass they did stopped working so now all of the food is going in the garbage. When you are dealing with hundreds of dollars in food loss why send parts the slowest way possible?
They have the capability to send the part overnight and save everything but Frigidaire has the attitude they are not responsible for the food anyway so why would they care. The unit is 9 months old and Frigidaire has lost any future sales from me even though it looks like they don't care anyway. Buy American? Not from them.

It appears (according to service repair man) Frigidaire ss side by side PHSC239DSBO has a wiring harness issue. It falls into the drip pan shorting it out which could cost $300 for a circuit board if that would correct the problem. He states Frigidaire knows of the problem but refused to do a recall. My neighbor and husband rewired the harness and strapped it up so that it will not fall into the drip pan again. Presto, I have power to freezer side. I called Frigidaire for help and they referred me to the service man who in turn stated the repair was out of his league. So, I called back Frigidaire to get someone else. I have yet to hear from them again. In the meantime, we fixed it ourselves. If Frigidaire had only strapped the wiring harness up to begin with, I would not have a problem. It is possible that the harness could have blown my compressor. Luckily, this was not the case. Just a piece of plastic did the job.

I purchased my product from Best Buy in 2007. I was pleased with the product for the first few months. Over a period of time, I always smelled something burning when I opened the cooler side door, like plastic; but, I was never able to locate where this was coming from. On January 31, 2012, I opened the door for about 15 minutes to clean out the product and kept smelling burning plastic. I looked up and was in awe at what I found. The (original) light bulb, that rest on the ceiling of the refrigerator (fridge), had burned right into the lining of the ceiling.
At that time, I realized this is a faulty product; this product should not be in any home. I have a repair man come out and view the fridge, and he stated this shouldn't be in my home because, this could potentially cause a fire and burn my house down, leaving my family homeless!
I went to http://www.frigidaire.com/contactus and filed a complaint through email; the response that I received was a standard response any company would use to not accept responsibility and place the blame on the customer, who bought the product. The response was as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Frigidaire.We sincerely regret you have experienced difficulties with your refrigerator. Frigidaire provides very comprehensive warranties with each product to guard against any parts that may be defective at the time of manufacture. However, we are sure you can appreciate that a point is eventually reached when the manufacturer's responsibility for repairs under the initial warranty must end.
"Our experience has shown that an original defect in material or workmanship will develop very early in the life of the appliance. After a reasonable period of service, many factors beyond the control of the manufacturer may affect any product. The problem experienced is almost always due to the door being left open for inordinate periods of time or from replacing the bulb with a wattage too high for an appliance application.
"There is a liner repair kit available that an authorized Frigidaire service provider can install that will repair the damage. Please choose from among the following authorized Frigidaire service providers that serve your area:Major Brands Appliance Service, LLC / Newton, IA / 50208-3226 / (641)831-3840

American TV Appliance Service / Madison, WI / 53713-2346 / (800)854-6659
"We offer extended service agreements for all customers who register their appliances with us to guard against any unusual problems that may occur outside of warranty beyond usual wear and tear. If you would like to purchase an extended warranty, you may do so after your appliance has been repaired by contacting our Extended Service Agreement Department at 1 (866) 386-5286. Thank you again for contacting Frigidaire, Bo"
This, is not acceptable. I requested that they repair the default or refund the amount less depreciation, so I am able to purchase a produce that would not place my family in danger. Now, I am filing this claim along with several other regulatory agencies.

About 18 months ago, we purchased a Frigidaire Professional Double Convection Oven, a matching Microwave/Hoodfan and a matching Warming Drawer from Sears. Total cost was about $6000 as I recall. All four of the (no name) bulbs in the ovens failed within three months of very limited use, suggesting to me that Frigidaire/Electrolux were using cheap and nasty bulbs of unspecified make which were not fit for the intended purpose. I replaced them all with bulbs from Noma and not one of the four Noma ones has failed since.
About 10 months ago, we carried out the recommended self-clean cycle, following which the top oven would not come up to temperature. Sears service was called, took up my time removing the oven from its cabinet and replaced the thermal trip/breaker which is located in an absurdly inaccessible place at the back and behind the oven for a (resettable!) trip. Sears wisely decided to fit a new trip rather than just resetting the original one.
Then, about three weeks ago, we noticed that the enamel is failing on the bottom of the top oven casing, clearly the result of faulty manufacturing. It has fallen off in several places. I contacted Sears and they claimed that this was "cosmetic" and not covered by the extended warranty which I had purchased. At my insistence, their service man came out and inspected it and clearly told me that me his view is that this was not "cosmetic" but is a manufacturing fault. I was party to his end of the telecon he then had with his supervisor, and it was clear that his supervisor was telling him (from 2000 miles away, never having seen the problem at first hand) that as far as Sears was concerned, it was "cosmetic" and not covered by warranty. Sears made no reference to Frigidaire on the issue.
It was clear that the dishonest Sears supervisor was telling his service technician that he was to tell me that the issue was "cosmetic", and appeared to be instructing him that that was what he was to write in his report. I spoke to Sears customer Service (a misnomer if ever there was one) and they told me that the service guy had stated in his report that is was a "cosmetic" issue, not covered. They then told me that they had ordered a replacement casing (in effect recognizing that it needed replacing) and that I would be charged for it. Well, at some point, they'll be asking me for my credit card Number and no way will I ever be giving them that!
We carried out another self-cleaning cycle a couple of weeks ago and the top oven once again will not reach the set temperature. Looks like the issue is not the trip at all, but a more fundamental problem. So, but for the fact that we have the second oven, we'd have been ovenless again for some weeks. This week, I phoned Sears and told them that after all these issues over 18 months of very limited and very careful usage, I wanted a replacement oven, as I was unprepared to tolerate such an unreliable and poorly-manufactured product and could not devote yet more of my valuable time to dealing with yet more service calls. They have declined to agree to that.
Today, I contacted Frigidaire/Electrolux in Misssauga and spoke to some creature whose English was barely understandable and who basically told me that the whole matter was one for Sears, not Electrolux. I found him obstructive, unhelpful and unworthy of a customer service position. There was no recognition that any of these issues were in any way the responsibility of Frigidaire/Electrolux as the manufacturer of the appliance! So, both Sears and Electrolux will now find that they are having to deal with a Scotsman who doesn't tolerate fools gladly, doesn't tolerate so-called customer service as appalling and unreasonable as this and doesn't tolerate being *** to.
I am truly appalled at the obstructive, dishonest and unreasonable attitudes of both Sears and Electrolux and currently await a visit from a senior Sears technician, which is being arranged at my insistence. Neither Sears nor Electrolux give a *** for the fact that a customer has spent several thousand dollars on a major name product branded "professional" (suggesting superior quality and reliability) which is of unmerchantable and unsatisfactory quality. I wouldn't touch another Frigidaire/Electrolux appliance with a bargepole but this issue is far from over. Watch this space!

Back in August 25th, 2006 I purchased 3 Frigidaire products: stainless burner gas cooktop, a double gas wall oven and an over-the-range microwave oven from AjMadison. Out of the 3 two are broken or don't function properly. I had my entire downstairs, which included the kitchen completely, remodeled. In 2007 all the new appliances were installed. I started having problems almost right away with the microwave. The hinges started to get really loose to the point of not being able to use it unless we held the door shut. Then the exhaust fan started coming on at will. We had to literally have to unplug the exhaust fan cord.
A repairman came out and we thought he had fixed the problem but shortly after that every time we use the microwave it sounds like it's about to exploded. The noise is that loud. Now our gas double oven door hinges broke. We had two repairmen at different times that tried to fix the hinges but it can not be fixed or replaced. The whole oven unit has to be replaced because this stupid oven is a one piece unit. I contacted Frigidaire and they said that there is nothing that they can or will do about it because they are no under warranty anymore and that I should have purchased an extended warranty. How dare them! A person should not have to purchase anything extra not unless they want to not have to so that these cheaply made appliances will be covered for some repairs.
This company has known for a very, very long time that most of their appliances have serious problems. I refuse to pay for the items I already paid for once. I'm sorry, I won't cut the mustard with me. I'm very upset and something needs to be done about this on-going problem; otherwise, more people like us will get taken to the bank. We are retired people. I should be enjoying my retirement rather than trying to figure out how I'm supposed to pay to replace these things. My question to all of you who are going through these problems with me is what are we going to do about it? I want to file a class action lawsuit. Are you with me or not?

I purchased a Frigidaire stove oven combo from Lowe’s. Within 3 weeks, we realized with the oven set at only $350, it made the top front of the unit so hot it would burn. Upon calling Lowe’s, they suggested we call the service number for the manufacturer. I was on hold for so long. When I finally got help, they told me it was normal that the oven vented there. The other vent is back by the left burner. However, that area never got hot. So she said the warmer top front was within the manufacturing guidelines. I asked if they would just send out a repair man to verify nothing was wrong. She refused and said I would have to pay for any call myself. If I had little children, having this unit in their home would have been considered abuse.
Here I am only two years later and last night when setting the oven at 425 it began burning and smoked out the entire kitchen. Never buy Electrolux products either as they own Frigidaire. And yes I tried to contact their customer service for help and that number was disconnected!

This is about the safety Issue with Frigidaire/Electrolux June 2007 microwave/fan above stove unit. Quite some time ago, the door unit became loose and progressively worse. The problem is that the two door hinges have become broken loose. There are no screws holding the hinge. It is either a cold weld problem or the pressure fit (similar to a pop rivet) has let go.

We purchased a new dishwasher in late 2009, along with a new kitchen. Within months of our kitchen install, the doors started to peel and crack around the dishwasher. Our first thought was that there was an issue with the finish on the cabinets. Why didn’t we think that the dishwasher was to blame but the cabinet company that replaced the cabinets? Now in our new kitchen the same problem has been happening. This apparently is a well known design flaw. I contacted customer service and they would not even let me speak to a supervisor. Apparently, they do not care about satisfaction in the least. We’re just out $600 for a poorly designed dishwasher that has ruined 2 new kitchens.

We purchased a new home in 2008 and had new Frigidaire appliances as part of that purchase (dishwasher, stove/range, and microwave). About 2-3 months ago, we began to smell an electrical or plastic burning smell every so often but couldn't place the smell after going around the house. Last weekend I noticed a puddle of water on the floor and after some investigation found that our dishwasher was leaking. Originally I just thought it was from a leaking hose or something. Upon further investigation, we found the heating element burned through the bottom of the plastic tub of the dishwasher (we also discovered our floor and cabinets near the dishwasher are damaged as well and need to be replaced).
I checked for recall information and did not find it. I contacted one phone number and touched base with the local Frigidaire repair company. They said Frigidaire would definitely want to know. So, I contacted Frigidaire to let them know of the problem and report it. I wanted to be sure they had all the information about what happened to us to be sure it wouldn't happen to someone else.
When I called them, they asked for the model and serial number, and asked if I had an extended warranty, in which I didn't. I told the representative that I wanted to report the heating element burning through the bottom of my dishwasher plastic tub and that it didn't seem like a normal wear and tear kind of issue. And I said that I thought they would want to know the details about it to make sure it didn't happen somewhere out, or potentially help me with my situation. I was put on hold for them to talk to a supervisor. I was told that they made a note of my issue (literally no details given yet). And since I was outside of the 12 month warranty, there was nothing they could do to help me.
I told her again I thought they should know about it and the details of what happened. She said her supervisor said that it usually happens when something heavy is resting on the heating element. I was a little taken aback that the initial was that basically we were resting something heavy on the element to cause it to happen. I said, "So your reasoning is only that I put something too heavy in the dishwasher." She told me she wasn't accusing me of that. I asked her what else it could be. I said that I wasn't trying too difficult, but I had hoped Frigidaire as a company would be interested in knowing what happened with their product to potentially protect other consumers from the situation I was in. The response was “Is there anything else I can do for you?” I was surprised and expressed to her that I was thoroughly disappointed in Frigidaire. Their lack of interest in knowing the details of what happened to me and making accusations showed they had no genuine concern for me as a consumer or other consumers who may be facing the same things. She again said she wasn't accusing me of anything, but I asked her to explain what else it could be. She only said that heating elements burning through the tub are caused by heavy items resting on the element.
I believe there is a design flaw with this unit (model # FDB1050REC2) and that the heating element should be better supported in the tub. This dishwasher is only 3 years old. The situation is not from wear and tear of other items or breaking of something. It is a flaw that unfortunately Frigidaire is not interested in investigating or even acknowledging as a potential issue.

The representative told me about 6 times they would continue to attempt to fix it and their warranty is very clear that they don't have to replace it and there is no such thing as a lemon law for refrigerators. My concern is that they will ride this out to beyond the year or not correctly repair so that when the year is up I’d be stuck with a bad dispenser. They are sending the same parts they just put on and sending the tech back for the 5th time rather than admit it is a defective fridge and replacing it because under federal law they don't have to, the representative told me several times. In one year I will have no recourse and a bad fridge.

When the original light bulb in the refrigerated section of my Frigidaire side-by-side burnt out, I really didn't think it was so unusual. I'll just purchase a new bulb and replace it. This should be simple. Well, not so simple. Upon attempting to remove the bulb, it would not turn. I was afraid to apply excessive force since I didn't want to break it off in the socket.
I couldn't understand why I was having so much difficulty removing a light bulb. So I poked my head in the refrigerator to get a closer look. I was amazed and concerned at what I saw. The bulb had burned the plastic lining above it. The bulb was stuck to the top of the liner. After several more attempts to remove the bulb, I finally succeeded.
There is a considerable amount of damage to the liner, including a small hole in the middle of the 'egg size crater' that was created by the hot light bulb. I'm not only concerned that this has compromised the cooling capacity of my refrigerator. But that it could be a potential fire hazard. Still, I continue, with increasing doubt, to replace light bulbs with increasing frequency. I just installed the fourth bulb. Please help! Am I and my family in any immediate danger from this defective product?

My stove-top is having the exact problem as stated in their recall for the stainless version "Depending on the model, the surface heating elements can 1) turn on spontaneously without being switched on; 2) fail to turn off after being switched off;or, 3) heat to different temperatures than selected. This poses a fire and burn hazard to consumers." They are not considering this as a recall.

Frigidaire ES340 electric range giving F10 error after pressing bake. Broiler comes on instead and oven shuts off within 2 minutes. So far it shuts off when we press clear but I'm not using oven anymore. With the complaints I've read, we will probably look into replacing range ASAP.

We have a brand new side-by-side refrigerator, a Frigidaire LFUS2613LEO. Within three weeks, it stopped getting cold in the refrigerator section. Now all our food is spoiling as I write this. This was purchased at Lowes. When we called Lowes, they informed us that there was only a 7-day return policy and that they could not send a repairman for two more days! So here we sit with tons of spoiled food, no fridge for two days and can’t return the piece of junk nor are we compensated for all the lost food. If it breaks down within three weeks, I can only imagine how long it will be before it breaks again. It is obviously a lemon and there is nothing we can do.

It's day 8 with no stovetop or oven in the Frigidaire professional series smooth top range. I called service for oven making noise but when the tech came out, he found melted wires behind unit. He was so concerned he disconnected the entire appliance. 2 years ago, we were without a stove for a month when the last stove was recalled. Now I am worried this stove could be a potential hazard too. I asked Frigidaire if they were having problems reported; they will not tell me any of that information. This is terrible customer service and they love to pass you around to 10 people and leave you on hold for 30 minutes with no one to help.

I purchased a Frigidaire Gallery gas Range from Sears. In 4 months the touch pad stopped working. First one number didn't respond. So, we stopped using the 1 digit. Soon another then another stopped working. The Sears warranty was invalid. So I replaced the $120 touch pad myself. While taking out the old part I noticed how poorly the thing was put together. All the screws were over-torqued cracking the plastic parts in many places. I replaced the touch pad and it worked fine.
Then 2 more months went by and the electronic brain shorted out in a thunderstorm. Again, Sears would not do anything about it so I replaced the part myself. Now the new Sears replacement touch pad is starting to not work again! We now have to cook without the #3. So 350 degrees is 400 degrees or 299. It is so frustrating. We bought a whole suite of appliances. Frigidaire dishwasher was so bad that we had Sears come and get it the day after it was installed and they replaced it with a Kenmore when I complained repeatedly. The refrigerator works, but is noisy. I will never shop at Sears again and I recommend that you buy nothing there. They do not back up what they sell!

I just want to let you know about Frigidaire products! I purchased an entire kitchen suite one year ago, the Frigidaire Professional Series. Within four months, the refrigerator broke. When the repairman came, he said he couldn't fix it, and I was issued a new refrigerator. However, since they had to get it from the original place I purchased them, I had to wait about a week for the replacement. Oh, and no, they did not replace any of my food, which I lost. They told me that is not covered! Less than a year after the purchase, the dishwasher began to leak all over my pergo floor, so I had the repairman come, which luckily, it was still under warranty.
Less than one month later, on Christmas eve, when I had all of my Christmas eve dinner plates in the dishwasher ready to wash, once again, the floor flooded, leaving me with a bunch of dirty dishes, and a flooded floor. Nice, right? It's just what everyone wants to do for the holidays! I called the repairman, but I also contacted Frigidaire to see if they were going to stand behind their products, and they told me they couldn't pay for the labor, because the warranty was over by about three weeks!
Really, are you kidding me? They finally agreed, after I threw a fit, that they would cover the repair of the dishwasher. I had, for 11 years previous to this, Sears Kenmore products, and never had the repairman at my house for them! I am so surprised that Electrolux would even be connected with such terrible products! I wouldn't purchase a toaster if it had Frigidaire on it! I have sent an email to their corporate office, and hopefully one of them will have the decency to call me, regarding their products.

As with another review, I also tried not to give any stars but was unable to. I purchased both a Frigidaire fridge and dishwasher in May 2011. I hadn't even had the fridge 3 months before experiencing problems. The food in the bottom tray of the fridge kept freezing and the ice dispenser would not dispense ice. I was provided with three services companies which I could contact according to Frigidaire since the product was under warranty. I scheduled my first appointment, just to have the service man inform me that Frigidaire has been having many issues with this fridge and he didn't have the part that was needed and would need to come back. He came back and installed the correct part, so the fridge would dispense ice but yet the food in the bottom tray was still freezing. A few months later the fridge stopped dispensing ice again.
I called and made another appointment, just to have the service man come out and say I see what it's doing and when I run all the tests it is passing, but I need to call the manufacturer and they are closed. Having to schedule another appointment which I did, just to have the same thing happen again!! This has been an ongoing issue for about 5-6 months now. All of a sudden the dishwasher is now falling apart as well. I have asked numerous times for a refund and have been told unless you have had three services and them manufacturer deems the product un-repairable, we cannot offer you a refund. In such an economy when people have to work to pay for appliances costing $2000 they expect people to work around their schedule, because it seems like they are never open. I will never purchase another appliance from this manufacturer ever again. I would much rather pay a little bit more if I had to just to avoid the headaches and excuses I have had to deal with.

I would prefer no stars but unfortunately I was not given that option! I will never again purchase anything made by Frigidaire or their partners. I bought a stop top from them when we built our house 12 years ago. After 7 or 8 years, one of the switches broke. There was no problem with this. But when we called to get the replacement part ($123 plus S&H), what they sent us was not the original part. It had been replaced by a very poor quality universal part. I called to tell them that this part would not last and that I was sure it would break again. Their "customer service" department gave us no options!
Well, a couple of years later, the part did indeed break again. We called CS again and was told that they would be glad to sell us another switch and that a repair technician would have to come and replace it. We would have to pay for that charge as well. After much hassle on the phone, they finally agreed to have him come out at no charge to us, because they thought we were not placing the switch in correctly and that was surely the reason it broke! Well, once again, the switch has broken. Our only recourse is to buy a 3rd switch for another $123 plus S&H.
I have several issues with Frigidaire in regards to this issue! First, only one person that I spoke to today even tried to be helpful. I was transferred to multiple people and all of them seemed to be confused as to what they were supposed to be doing. They obviously do not understand what customer service really is. They kept asking me what I wanted from them. I told them the problem again and again and asked for a permanent solution to a very expensive problem! After replacing this switch 3 or 4 times, I could buy a new stop top! Not one person offered to send a new part out for free because of this being an on-going problem! Now, that would have gotten a raving fans review!
I understand that they don't want to sell me replacement parts. They want to sell me a new stove top! But that is not what I expect from a company that advertises their products as top of the line and high in performance etc. Secondly, it is a crying shame for them to charge $123 for a small switch that probably cost them $5 or $10 to make! That is price gouging if I have ever heard of it. And the last time I checked, price gouging is illegal!
I am so disappointed in this company and it is very unfortunate, because overall, I love the stovetop. When it has to be replaced however, it will definitely not be replaced with another Frigidaire product! I am curious to know if other people have had problems with this replacement switch (part no. 318078200)! This is the first time I have ever rated an experience with such negativity, but this has been the most frustrating situation! By the way, I found the switch on www.knobshopper.com for $29. Now what does that tell you?

I made a purchase for an Affinity washing machine from Best Buy in Columbus Georgia on 1/29/2010. September of last year, after only 9 months of use of my washer, it broke, and had to be repaired. I was told at that time, that the piece required to fix my washer was very costly, and that my washer would have to be taken apart and reassembled. That part that needed to be replaced, I believe was something called, a drain pump. Because my washer broke within a year of purchase, it was, at this time, covered by warranty. October 14th of this year, 2011, my washer began to have the same problem it did the year prior. I called you all, and was told that the piece required to fix this problem, yet again, was very costly but that you all would cover the cost of the piece, and not the service fee, and repair fee, because I was no longer under warranty.
This meant that I would be responsible for paying up to $270 to repairing it and $70 charge just to come out and assess the problem. Unfortunately, having a family of five that includes a service member and infant, I could not afford to pay over half the cost of what I paid for my washer, simply to have someone come out and fix the same issue, that I had a year earlier, less than 9 months after the date of purchase. I had to make a decision to either spend nearly $300, and risk having the same issue again, or purchase a new washer that I could rely on. I went with option number two, and spent money that we didn't have on a new more reliable washer. I am a very displeased customer, and have been greatly inconvenienced. I hope that you all can provide me with some type of solution so that I may continue to be a loyal Frigidaire customer.
The only response i received was, "we apologize that you had that issue with your appliance. Unfortunately, the parts concession to assist with the parts to repair the appliance, was the only way we could have assisted you with your appliance. We are unable to assist you any further".

Horrible! I will never buy another Frigidaire Product again. I have a 27" microwave oven in wall unit. I purchased the unit in June of 2009. In September 2011, the unit went out completely. Both the microwave and the oven went out. After arguing with Frigidaire for a while, I was finally able to have them cover parts to repair the unit. I had A&E Service repair the unit. They came out a total of 6 times.
The first time, the person assessed the problems and had no parts on his truck, so he could not repair the unit. After Frigidaire spent over $800 in parts to repair the unit and 6 visits from A&E, the unit was finally repaired 6 weeks later. Mind you, I was not able to use my microwave or oven for 6 weeks. I have a problem with a company manufacturing a product that breaks after 2 years of use.
There was a time when appliances lasted 20+ years. I understand companies wanting to make more money, but to manufacture a product that breaks after 2 years is ridiculous. Let alone the fact that they want you to purchase the extended warranty for repair, but that still costs them money for parts, supplies, gas and the customer's time in having to be available for the 4-hour window for them to come out.

Let me just say, buyer beware. We've had them approximately 5 -7 yrs. We've had to replace the heating element in the dishwasher. And recently, something blew after I heated the oven to bake a dish. The breaker blew and nothing on the digital readout panel or the burners or oven would work. I didn't know about the recall on the range until I accessed their website to issue a complaint. I had to have it repaired so I could use it. The cost was $500 plus.
I called them and they told me to fax the repair invoice for possible reimbursement consideration. I did (9/27/11) and waited a few weeks to call back to check on the decision. They couldn't give me any info since they said they never received it, even though I had confirmation that it was received. At that time, I requested the replacement parts to repair the exact problem included in the recall. But in the meantime, they said because they didn't receive my initial fax, they gave me a new number. I refaxed the invoice again to another number on 10/25 and waited until today (11/18) to call and check again.
Initially, I was told the fax wasn't received again until I insisted it had already been faxed twice and to a new number the second time. Suddenly, it was found and the decision to reimburse was denied justified because it wasn't directly included in the recall. Never mind, they should stand behind their product that blew a breaker at the time it failed. It’s clearly dangerous to have done that. I’m not happy with their decision. I will do better research when purchasing appliances in the future. There is no such thing as a reliable appliance with Frigidaire and they don't stand behind their product.

They failed to realize that it was not about the warranty, but about safety. The amount of time I had the door open could not have caused this amount of burning. It means that the light does not go out as intended or there was some other problem all leading to a potential disaster. If it had caught fire during the night or in my absence, serious damage and death might have occurred.

I purchased a Frigidaire convection oven from Lowes, Somerset, KY in 2004, and it cost a lot of money. Soon after, the computer's circuit board began to show problems. I would be baking something, and the F1 would come on, and the oven would shut off. I would push the off button, and turn it back on, this went on for three years, until it finally tore up for good. Never a good time to have an oven quit on you, since it was Oct 31, 2009, and I had a house full of family that had traveled a long way to visit, for a family reunion.
On November 2, 2009, a local repairman ordered the clock (what he called it), and replaced it for $350. Two weeks later, the F1 came back on. It happens off and on, for about a month or two, until this summer. Now, it is doing it a lot, so I guess it is getting ready to tear up completely again. This time, I contacted Frigidaire, and received no satisfaction at all. I left a customer survey that none of my questions had been answered. Like, can you tell me if there is a defect in your product, and if so, is it now taken care of? I might try it again. My husband even emailed the CEO of Electrolux and Lowes. I just got a call back, same woman's voice from the Philippines. She asked all the questions she did before. I explained this was twice for the same problem.
She put me on hold, then came back, and said that there was nothing more that they could offer me. Maybe she is not good at English (I know I am not either, and I was born in the USA), but she could not offer me "more" since she had not offered me anything to begin with. The serial # is VF34956524, and the model # is FEF357BBB. The part that I ordered, and had replaced (the clock) was #316207529, and the overlay, the pretty part when the clock is replaced, is damaged (316220805).
I will also add, I purchased a refrigerator at the same time I purchased the stove in 2004. Every last shelf has broken. We repair it with that epoxy tube glue, the green on the outside and white in the middle, cut off a piece and knead it together until it turns white. Nancy, you complained of this too, that does a pretty good job holding. Just recently, the refrigerator has suddenly started running colder, and freezing up some stuff, like my lettuce.
Guess it is going bad too. I know I purchased it in 2004, but heck I am used to stuff lasting. By the way, I am a big cook, and gardener. I am fixing up another kitchen in the basement for canning, and was going to purchase a new store, and refrigerator down there too. I can promise it won't be Frigidaire for Electrolux.

I purchased a wall oven May 23, 2009. Well, this weekend, the top oven door nearly came off in my hands. The hinge plates came completely out of the wall of the oven almost like the heat melted the metal and it just came off. The insulation is now visible. I called the 800 number and was told that they would send me the parts for free even though it was out of warranty 3 months. I would of course have to pay to have the parts installed. I asked if there were more complaints about this unit and was told she couldn't divulge that information. I will fight this to the end. I want a new oven. This is definitely a manufacturer defect. I refuse to pay for labor, parts or anything else for this product. How can this company stay in business?

I purchased a home with the appliances included so I am not the original owner. However, after cooking a meal in my oven I hit the clear/cancel button on the display to shut off the oven. I noticed that the heating element was still hot/glowing red but I figured it was still cooling down. After I finished my meal I heard the oven beeping and it was displaying an F1 error. According to the owner's manual the solution is to hit the clear/cancel button. This did in fact clear the error and stop the beeping but the oven never shut off and continued heating. At this point smoke is starting to fill the air (slowly). The only remedy I had was to throw the breaker that the stove is on.
After about an hour I threw the breaker back on and the display only showed the time needing to be set and no indication that the oven was still on. Again, the oven heating element continued to heat...on its own! I contacted both the Sears and Frigidaire recall hotlines to inquire about the particular serial number since it was in the range of the recall. I was told that my unit was not included in the recall and to call Electrolux who manufactured the unit which of course was closed. I am awaiting open office hours to call Electrolux. Major Fire Hazard had I not been home to hear the beeping on the oven.

We purchased a new home in December 2009. We were so excited to buy Frigidaire stainless steel appliances (fridge, micro, dishwasher, oven/range) for our new kitchen. Well now (July, 2010), three of our four appliances are in need of repair and Frigidaire is a nightmare to deal with. They clearly are not about customer satisfaction. We have been without a microwave for a month now, our dishwasher had ratings for being super quiet which is now louder than ever, our icemaker on our freezer over makes ice which supposedly needs a part to stop it, and we are just waiting for our stove/range to break too. They are supposed to be under Frigidaire warranty for 12 months, but the techs they use are horrible and don't communicate with you and have to make several trips to your home which causes bigger frustrations.
These local companies also make you wait to come out, mislead you on what is wrong with your appliance, don't call or try to set up future appointments for further repair, etc. I have spent about 5 hours on the phone with customer service and they are giving me 100.00 check for my frustration. Isn't that a joke? Several thousand spent on Frigidaire appliances and seven months later, there are issues with three out of four appliances! My husband and I would never purchase Frigidaire/Electrolux Appliances again. Put your money towards a different, more reputable brand so you don't have the same experience we had! Hope this helps! Don't buy anything Frigidaire, they are horrible about customer service & repairs for appliances still under warranty!

After spending over $6K on what needed for my kitchen, I have had no cook top due to non/compliance with Frigidaire employees. It is well over a month now, since I had to have gas shut off due to faulty part on cook top, discovered by leaking gas fumes into my home. This lead to having a plumber "back" to now shut off the gas, only to return when and if I ever get this part. The part, after much talk via the Apollo Service company, was said to have been shipped last Friday (overnight), not here. Please also be aware that when Apollo called with all my information, I was told they had no record of my purchase via Sam's Appliance store and therefore had to submit a "new" order in order to obtain the part I need (a valve, plastic of some sort). I mean no offense, but was also told "English" was not the primary spoken and difficult to understand either way.
From the time I purchased up unto now, it has been almost a month of no cooking. I think this is beyond unfit customer service and would now like to return all that I have purchased because of it. Time lost, no cooking, plumber(s) and food spoiled because I could not cook as well as moneys spent on take-out all this time, to me is a major expense. With "no" cooperation from Frigidaire, my money I thought was the same color as the company's! Expenses as well as utter dissatisfaction and disappointment with a product I once trusted and had faith in.

Five years ago, my husband bought a Frigidaire refrigerator, stove/oven, and microwave as a set from a used appliance store. He bought the new-but-used-for-display models and the extend warranties, which were good for a few years. We've been together only 4 years, so he had these when I met him and therefore I don't know *exact* details on the purchases themselves. However, I do know the microwave went out two years ago and we had to replace it. We replaced it with a cheapie one from Wal-Mart, which has last us the past two years or so but just went out Thursday. But it didn't cost as much, so we got our money’s worth out of that one!
In February, the Frigidaire Galler Series side by side we had just stopped working in the middle of the night one night. We leave for work early and usually have breakfast on the go or skip it altogether. It was also Friday/payday, which meant pizza night. We literally didn't use the fridge for around 24 hours. I opened the fridge Saturday morning to make breakfast and our brand new gallon of milk was soured. The fridge STANK of soured milk and spoiled food. We found out the compressor went out and the fan was no longer working. After reading reviews on repairing it and talking to repairmen, we decided to just wait (two weeks with 2 kids and no fridge, yikes!) until our tax return came in and buy a new fridge. We avoided Frigidaire! I refused to have another Frigidaire after that. It was less than 5 years old and already out.
To top it all off, the range (model #FEF316BSD) that is also only 5 years old, well, I've had occasional problems with it in the past year (oven popping, one particular section of the heating element burning brightly and "sizzling", burners on the stove not heating at all or getting overly hot and turning bright red). Tonight, I turned in on at 425 to cook garlic bread. The oven had been on less than 5 minutes when we heard a loud popping and saw a bright flash come from the kitchen. Of course, I run in there to turn the oven off and open the door. About an inch long section of the heating element had melted halfway through and dripped on the bottom of the oven, melting that area some also. Once I turned the oven off, it still didn't 'fizzle out' right away. I had to unplug the unit and open the door to the oven and it took a good 5 minutes for the burning white light to run out of oomph! I was honestly getting scared and about to go for the fire extinguisher!
Of course, we can't even TRY to use the warranty, since it's been 5 years and it was only a 3 or 4 year warranty. We tried that in Feb. with the fridge and they said our warranties were up. Right now, we don’t have the money to drop on an unexpected expense like this and are just going to have to see if we can get a new heating element and replace it ourselves and pray that works, or see if we can find a cheap good used on until we can save up for a better one. Either way, we're going to be without for a few days. Which means several days of fixing kids sandwiches for dinner or wasting money eating out?Needless to say, after having a Frigidaire: microwave, side-by-side fridge/freezer. And ovens all mess up with 2 years (being 3 to 5 years old at the time!) I will never buy another Frigidaire. When the salesman who sold us our new fridge recommended them, boy did he get an earful on why his company should not be pushing their products! But at least with the fridge, it was bad but not dangerous. This though, I refuse to even have this oven plugged in right now for fear of something happening. This is a hazard to my husband, our children, our pets, and our home. That is just too much to risk!

This unit remained, unplugged, until I recently plugged it in and the compressor would not run, hence the refrigerator would not cool-down.
I just phoned "Frigidaire/Electrolux Warranty Service". I was asked for the serial number, which I provided. The Service Representative stated: "Well your unit was built in 2006. Had it been built in 2005, your compressor would still be under warranty. But, your unit's compressor was a 2006 model, so it only has a one-year warranty. When I explained that my written warranty stated "5-year warranty on the compressor", the Rep replied: "Well, it's only a year."
Frigidaire was apparently bought out by Electrolux, as almost a year ago I was told that Frigidaire filed for Chapter 11 protection, under Federal Law, from their creditors. I have not confirmed this. Judging by those posts I've read above, I would recommend that no one buy any Frigidaire product whatsoever, as the economy we now have to endure will not allow your hard-earned money to go down-the-drain, in the way of repair cost.

I purchased a new Stainless Steel Gas Oven on 12/13/08 from Conn's Clearance Center. The salesmen told me it had never been used, only contained minor scratches on the side. I was willing to overlook the scratches because the oven was to be placed inside the wall. I was told to buy a warranty for the oven in case the oven needs repairs or to be replaced. I was anxious to cook Christmas dinner in 2008 with my new oven. When the oven reached its desired temperature, I went to open the oven and flames from the oven rushed to my face.
From my purchase in 2008 until 2009, I called several Conn's repairmen to figure out the problem with the oven and no one could resolve the "Racing Flames" issue. Although the repairmen concluded that the oven was in good condition, each one of my attempts thereafter to use the oven, the fire flames incident will still occur. I was under the impression that Conn's was neglecting the issue about their product Fire Hazard imperfection so I had to lure repairmen to repair my oven with irrelevant problems. I was told that if I keep requesting repair services without any problems to resolve, I would have to start paying $75 for any further non-repairable service.
They then referred me to Frigidaire repair services because that was the company that actually owned my product and it is a possibility they could give me a better solution. Needles to say, two of their service men inspected the wall oven and could not find any solution either. My grandchild and daughter have also experienced the flames racing to their face after they both attempted to use the oven. After these attacks, I decided to disconnect the oven to prevent any future injuries.
Presently, Conn's and Frigidaire do not want to replace their oven because their repairmen couldn't find any problems with my oven and now I am stuck with a hazardous, inconvenient, and useless oven that I have never used. I made my final and last attempt on 01/01/10 to complain on my oven to Conn's in hopes of a discovery before I personally remove the stove from my presence. That repairman discovered gas seeping from the oven and ordered parts for the stove.
A different repairman replaced the parts to the oven. That same repairman had the same rushing flames encounter happen to him as he became scared and complained to Conn's that the fire almost, "burnt his eyebrows off." My daughter actually witnessed this happen to the repairman and can explain everything that took place that day. That is when Conn's finally came to a solution, and agreed to credit my account half the amount of the actual oven's worth. My warranty stated if the product was non-repairable that the company will give a replacement. Well, Conn's refuse to replace my oven because they consider my purchase As Is because I got the oven from their warehouse. I refuse this agreement and renegotiated with Conn's because of their inconsideration to my inconvenience and safety to their Hazardous product.
I am now in mediation with the Consumer Relations Officer because he states that his research is unaware of any service write-ups of fire from my stainless steel oven. I personally have 3 invoices in my presence, but the other invoices are not being fully researched or released. There has to be no organization in Conn's Service Department because the Consumer Relations Officer stated that there was no report given on any repairman startled over flames from my oven. I am truly fed-up and disappointed in Conn's Safety Procedures, Repair Service, and Consumer Relations. I need this ticking bomb out of my possession before my household encounters an explosion or leak. Conn's/Frigidaire Stainless Steel Wall Oven has been inadequate since the day of purchase. My household is clearly in harm's way. I have a past experience with a fire and I was fearful that the product will explode and no one at Conn's would believe me.

Approximately 3 years ago, I "upgraded" my old kitchen appliances with a refrigerator, gas stove, microwave and dishwasher. I will never again buy anything with the Frigidaire name on it, never again! Luckily, within a week of purchase, the refrigerator's condenser acted up. The problem was diagnosed by the technician sent out from Best Buy where I purchased the appliances. I refused to get another Frigidaire and exchanged it for another brand.
About a year later (and beyond the factory warranty period), the top-most spray wand of the dishwasher disengaged and it remains stored in a drawer. Being a single guy grill master, I neglected to use the oven for some time. When I did, I noticed mini-explosions taking place when I baked. I finally got a hold of a good appliance repair person who diagnosed the problem as a faulty gas valve so gas was escaping but not properly igniting. Dangerous, you think?! To repair that would cost about $360 but I have no intention of perpetuating the Frigidaire Fiasco in my home.
So now I get to shop and pay for another new stove. Hopefully, next year, I can afford to change out the dishwasher as well. If you're brave enough to go the Frigidaire route, be sure you test absolutely everything over and over again during the warranty period, otherwise, you'll find yourself buying all new appliances in less than 3 years! What a rip-off, not to mention a safety hazard. Just say "No!" to Frigidaire.

Months later, I received a one paragraph letter from the company stating that I did not have sufficient proof of damage.
Both products at the time of damage were under one year old. I had to take off from work five times in order for repair men to come out and either assess or repair damages. I am not seeking compensation for the dishwasher, as it is operable. However, the washer/dryer unit has caused water damage to my property and I do seek compensation for that.

I am disappointed and I will never buy from this company again. About 9 months ago, I bought a side-by-side Galley fridge, glass top range and over-the-range microwave. For the majority of these months, there were issues with the fridge and we were waiting on the repair service. Within the first couple of days, all door shelves on the freezer side and two on the fridge side simply broke off. Two of them were completely empty. I did not pursue this issue although I probably should have. Then the icemaker stopped dropping ice and our ice cream was on the liquid side. The module was replaced but nothing was done for the temperature issue.
A few weeks later, the ice dispenser was dispensing water and vice-versa. I called again. The technician came out and informed us that the water hose in the fridge came loose and fried all circuit boards. This is the reason for the water damage to our downstairs bathroom. He had to order the part and instructed us to not buy large amounts of food due to temperature control issues while the boards were not functional. We waited a couple of months for the new boards to be delivered.
The next issue is our fault although I do not understand why these appliances are not constructed to prevent intrusions like this. A mouse crawled into the fan causing the motor to burn out which in turn melted the water lines in the fridge. This is the reason for our warped hardwood floor. Now what really ticks me off is the oven. It works great. But after 9 months, it does not look too good anymore. Right above the oven door are vents. These vents get extremely dirty. Cleaning them is not easy and so far I have not had very much success. If I had known that my cleaning attempts will cause long unsightly water streaks in the oven door which I cannot get to unless I take the door panels apart, I would have left the yellow goop in the vents! I learned my lesson and left the vents on the microwave alone. It’s not like you can get them clean anyway.

We purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher MODEL PLD2855RFC and smooth top range with convection oven and warming drawer MODEL PLES389ECG back in March 2007 and had them held at the store we purchased them at because we were building a new home. We already owned a Frigidaire stainless side by side, so we bought these appliances to match. They were installed in the new home and first put to use in mid November, for a few dinners before we moved in full time in mid December 07. In March of 2008, the control panel acted up and wouldn’t work. I called and had to work with them because the purchase date was over a year, so I had to prove their install time. That was fine and they sent someone out to replace the panel. There had been no boil over, but the repairman said they had had trouble with the control panels. We had not been using the range for more than 3 months when this happened. It also has those unsightly stains inside the door window. Those happened within the first few months, too.
Then, in September of 2009, our refrigerator began to act up and by October 1, 2009, we found out the evaporator on our three-yr old refrigerator was shot! No one would fix it and to do so was upwards of $500-600! So we had to find a matching appliance, so of course had to buy Frigidaire again, ($1000) but also bought the 4-yr warranty from Lowe’s. Within weeks of this problem, my dishwasher stopped working. Again, another repairman came out, and the motor was shot! So $280 later, I could have bought new for $400 (but already had spent enough on repairs and purchasing the new frig).
Then, a few weeks after that, earlier this month, I was cleaning my range and removed one of the knobs and the piece that sticks out for you to put it back onto, was loose and would just push into the control panel. So I called, spent hours on the phone with people you could hardly understand, but one nice gentleman ordered me the replacement part for no charge. But then he told me I’d have to pay to have it installed because the warranty expired. I thanked him for the free part (which has still not arrived) but then said I want to complain to someone "higher up." He gave me another number and finally calling a third time, I got someone who spoke good English. She looked up what all I told them already, and then said the best she could do was offer me a rebate of 60% off the purchase of a new range!
What? Are you kidding me? First of all, I just bought a new refrigerator and have my dishwasher repaired. I don’t have the money to buy a $1500-$2000 range and then wait for you to reimburse me, let alone I don’t want another one of your appliances! And when the rebate offer arrived, they weren’t giving me 6 months or a year to buy a new range; it’s only good till January 10, 2010! I could buy one this time of year if I wanted to! This has been very frustrating to say the least. We had owned Frigidaire products in the past, so I thought these would be good, long lasting items as well. We are extremely disappointed and will never buy another product of theirs again!

I am writing to voice my dissatisfaction with Frigidaire appliances. My story is lengthy, but after all the problems I've had, you will understand my frustration and why I will never purchase another Frigidaire product again, as long as I live.
After many years of cooking in a cramped galley kitchen (I am a baker and make many wedding cakes and other specialty cakes), we decided to add on to our house with a new 12x20 addition for a new state of the art kitchen. I purchased a Frigidaire range, combination convection and regular oven with warming tray and smooth top. I bought this at the end of May 2005 and it was not cheap, around $1,200.00. It was held in the warehouse until contractors were ready to install in early November of 2005. It took this long due to many problems with delays and other problems that are too numerous to mention.
When the contractors installed it, it was missing a leveling leg and parts for the warming tray. There were no rollers on one side and the metal sheeting, covering the top of the warming tray was just hanging down (not secured in anyway). I can't remember what else was missing. It took some doing, but it got repaired at no charge. I do not know if it came from the factory this way or was cannibalized for parts in the seller's warehouse. I now suspect it came from the factory that way. The design is poor. Shortly after I purchased this, a pot of potatoes boiled over and went done vent holes in front of the oven, staining the inside of the glass doors. It is very unsightly. When asked about cleaning this, I was told by the company I purchased this from that it would be a pricy service call ~$100.00. So it still looks horrible.
My second experience with Frigidaire was this Spring 2009. I needed a new dehumidifier for my basement. I went to Lowe's and purchased a Frigidaire 70 pint for around $265.00. Not exactly cheap! I took it home, plugged it in and the next morning, my carpet was wet where it had overflowed. I read the manual and then re-read the manual and tried everything I could and even called the help number. It continued to overflow and soak my carpet. I finally returned it to Lowe's and they replaced it with another, the same make and model. The same thing happened. So I would only run it for 4 hours at a time as I was sick of the wet carpet.
I also took this one back and after arguing with Lowe's, they finally gave me my money back. I then went to another store and purchased another model and it has been working fine. Obviously, the Frigidaire model was defective, which makes me think it was probably made with defective components made in China or some other third world country with no quality control. Now a couple of months later, I got a letter from Frigidaire that my $1,200 stove I purchased in 2005 is being recalled for a fire hazard. I have been waiting for two months for the repair service to come and replace the defective part as we do not dare leave it plugged in. This service has been scheduled three times and cancelled three times.
I was on the phone so many times with Frigidaire that I've lost count. I have been transferred from one department to another and no one there seems to know what the other department is doing. Now that we are on a first name basis and the word is getting out, the last few times I've called someone actually sort of knew what was going on. I was told the parts were backordered until November 1st. When I told one customer service person that Thanksgiving was coming and it would be nice to cook a turkey, they just laughed. Now I am told parts will ship directly to me and I must call to make arrangements for repair when received.
Now thank God my husband is retired and can be available all day to wait until someone shows up, but if he were still working too, that would be four days one of us would have had to miss work as we were told anywhere from 8AM to 5PM to be home and available for repairman. Eventually, I suppose I will get it fixed, but after looking on your website and seeing other Frigidaire products being recalled too for fire hazards like washers and dryers, I know that you can't make a decent product and I will never purchase your brand again. I hope moving all those manufacturing jobs to third world countries to save a buck has paid off for you. Not only have you put Americans out of work, you have jeopardized their safety with defective parts.
This country used to pride itself on quality goods, with our quality circles and other quality related programs. It gave the public confidence in a safe, dependable, reliable product. In my mind, you have destroyed that ideal. Corporate greed will be the ruination of this country. We already have a very good start.

We completely remodeled our home in 2006-2007 and purchased all matching Frigidaire kitchen and laundry appliances, all but one item (our range hood) from Lowe's. To date, we have had repairs and breakdowns of every single product. Most seriously, our front loading washer/dryer combo is an unbelievably poor appliance. The dryer, model number LEQ1442ESO, catches clothing on the lint trap and ruins straps, ties and tears clothes. It overheats regularly and leaves scorch marks on fabric or cuts off and doesn't dry at all. The case for the control panel at the top broke right after the warranty expired and has now detached completely from the machine and dangles by the wires.
Most of the dryer cycles do not work and even before the control panel detached, all the lights blink and the machine beeps insanely and repeatedly whether the machine is drying or not. The only solution is to unplug the machine. We have had to have the machine serviced on multiple occasions for excessive lint buildup. The overheating is so serious, we check and clean the machine regularly and have pulled it away from the wall to prevent a fire hazard. The matching Frigidaire washer is also a serious problem. Water damage from an interior leak has destroyed the barcode sticker, so I am no longer able to read the model and serial numbers.
Lowe's was not accommodating in helping us recover the model information. The washer filter gets clogged repeatedly and the drum retains water. The drain/rinse cycle does not work. The gasket leaked inside the door leading to a truly impressive display of rust on the washer door. The hinges are completely rusted at the bottom of the door, plus the door does not close by itself any longer and must be forced shut. The bottom panel beneath the door is completely rusted out. The first time I noticed the door sticking due to the rust was when the plastic door handle snapped off in my hands under normal opening pressure. I now have to pry the door open with a screwdriver. As if this is not enough, the washer does not clean clothes properly and my whites never get white. Although I have yet to notice the mold problems mentioned by other consumers, I see the potential because the gasket does not drain properly and retains water between cycles. I always clean it out.
Frigidaire stainless dishwasher, model FDB1500LFCO. The dishwasher has required multiple repairs. The spray arm becomes loose or dislodged and falls against the element, which then melts it requiring a replacement part. Filter is not effective and dirty water backs up inside the machine and leaks out the front. The dishwasher does not clean the dishes effectively even using premium products and rinse agent - glasses are regularly cloudy. We do not have hard water. Most importantly, the dishwasher chips and breaks plates/bowls and scratches cookware even when sparsely loaded. I have never owned a dishwasher that broke plates even occasionally and I currently have a 12-piece table setting that is more than 80% chipped. I will not purchase new plates while I still own this washer for fear of more expensive damage. Stainless cover shows excessive scratching. All I use is wipes or a soft sponge.
Frigidaire side-by-side stainless refrigerator model number FRS6LC8FS2. The plastic shelves chip, scratch and crack under light cleaning. The fan motor is unbelievably loud and the ice machine whines and grumbles. The door handles will not hold flush to door even when adjusted. In-door water/ice dispensers are clouded and scratched after only 2 years of use. Stainless door panels show excessive wear after minimal use and light cleaning. Poor finish.
Frigidaire ceramic top range model FEFL796CA. Vented heat from inside stove has permanently discolored stainless control panel at the top left. Vents at the top of the stove door do not prevent spilled fluid from entering sealed area between double glass fronts, resulting in unsightly drip marks we are unable to remove. The drawer slides on bottom, oven drawer broken and non-functional. Both stainless and paint finishes are unacceptable. 2 years of wear should not be enough to chip the paint and show scratches on the stainless areas.
I will estimate we spent $1,800 on our refrigerator, $600 on our range, $300 on our dishwasher and $700 on our washer/dryer combo. This is a grand total of approximately $3,400 on Frigidaire appliances, none of which work properly or look aesthetically pleasing at the three year mark. We are extremely disappointed and will never purchase Frigidaire/Electrolux appliances ever again! No satisfaction from the company, no help from Lowe's, only endless repairs and expensive parts. We estimate we've spent about an additional $500.00 on repairs and laundromat expenses so far. We are unable to replace our washer/dryer at this time and that is our most crucial complaint. Please help us.

I was just surfing the web to see what was wrong with my Frigidaire Stainless Side-by-Side refrigerator. We discovered a flood in the fruit cellar which is directly below my totally remodeled kitchen with the complete set of the stainless Gallery series appliances (which are now 4 yrs old - but that's still new to me). The refrigerator is leaking - big time - from the back or underneath. I shut the water supply off and got out the wet vac for the basement. My new Pergo is a little warped under the fridge. Most of the water went down the foundation wall.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this site and know what I have to look forward to. The refrigerator flood thing just happened so I don't know what the cost to repair will be. But as I am reading all the Frigidaire complaints, I just remembered we already had to replace the overhead microwave. It kind of exploded inside when I was warming up my coffee. I thought I just blew a fuse - well I did blow a fuse and my Frigidaire microwave. I forgot what they told us when we brought it to the service except it was done for. We found a GE microwave that blended in with the appliances. I looked it up online and that model of microwave had a defect (not a factory defect - Electrolux can't admit any responsibility), but the microwave was known for doing what it did.
I never gave it a second thought because we liked the new GE microwave 100% more. It is so much easier to use and we got it on sale for around $350. Okay, we can handle a microwave replacement cost ... but a refrigerator, dishwasher and a range? My appliances were out of warranty so I didn't bother to look at the Limited Warranty Electrolux offers until now. If I were still under warranty, anything I would need fixed or replaced is listed in their exclusion clause - my Pergo floor would be excluded, any ruined food in the refrigerator. They even exclude rust on the inside or outside of the unit. Every legitimate complaint I have read on this website is covered by an exclusion in the warranty.
It's too bad a good company has sunk so low. The over 50 crowd is buying Frigidaire because we think that's what we are getting. We are not. The real Frigidaire has gone away and it is a cheap imitation of the former company. They can't hurt so many people and continue to thrive.

We have been having problems with our Frigidaire dryer since day one. Anything and everything with straps and pull strings, and even towels, are getting caught in the space around the barrel of the dryer near the lint trap. The other issue started about two months ago. The lights on the front of the dryer flash and beep randomly. Sometimes this happens while the dryer is running and sometimes it does it when I have it off and no clothes at all in the dryer. I tried to find a solution in the manual. All I could determine is that maybe the lint is clogging up somewhere. We pulled the dryer out and there was a bit of lint that had accumulated inside the dryer, so we completely cleaned it out including our vent in the house. We are still having the same issue no changes at all.
I contacted Frigidaire by email and advised them of these issues. Their response is the following: “I am sorry to hear of your difficulty. We here at Electrolux strive for quality and customer satisfaction. While I can not guarantee that every unit will be problem free, I can assure you that this is a rare thing that you are experiencing. I recommend you contact an authorized service company to evaluate and to correct the problem. You can locate one by looking in your local yellow pages or by calling my customer care center at 1-800-374-4432.”
Of course, the dryer is no longer under warranty as we purchased it in January 2008. I really don't understand how a repairman could fix what I would consider a manufacturing error. To date, we are still pulling our garments out the space around the barrel and I am ignoring the beeping on the front of the dryer. I was hoping for a resolution from Frigidaire, but from the email response above, they do not feel they are responsible. What are consumers to do?

My mom bought a Frigidaire about three years ago, FRS6HF55KM model, and it’s a piece of crap! The adjustable door bins are **! They don't hold much. We put a gallon of milk on one of the bins and the whole bins just completely fell down and the little handles broke off. So I called the warranty department at Lowe's and they came out and said that they can’t do anything about it because it is an accessory for the fridge and the warranty doesn't cover that. So now I have two broken bins that I can’t use and all the other bins have cracks around the little handles and they will break any day now and I don't even store much stuff on them; just a few salad dressings.
But that’s not the only problem we have with the fridge. There are cracks all over the inside of the fridge and freezer. It looks like the fridge is falling apart. The cracks are all on the side of the walls. Some are so big that you could see right through. I called several times to the warranty department and they sent repair guys out, but they did nothing but put some kind of glue on them. But more cracks form and the other ones are getting bigger and they won’t do anything else because they say it’s cosmetic damage even if I could see inside the fridge. They told me I just have to deal with it because they aren’t going to do anything more for it.
Don’t buy Frigidaire or the extended warranty from Lowe's because they don't cover anything. Lowe's will tell you that they cover everything, even normal wear and tear you cause. All they want is to rip people off that don't have much money to begin with. I can’t believe that with all the technology that's out there right now, that a company can't make a fridge last for no more than a couple years. All these companies don't care about people; all they want is for us to spend more money so that's way they make crappy appliances.

My wife and I purchased brand new kitchen appliances at Best Buy (Frigidaire brand) on Jan 25, 2008. We have had issues with all of the products, and as of today, the oven has not been functioning for over six weeks. The customer service department at Frigidaire took my complaint and gave me their word that they would repair the oven, but after six weeks of frustration, the oven is still not repaired.

On September 4, 2009, I went to turn the oven on my 2005 Professional Series Frigidaire smoothtop stove. Sparks and flames began shooting out of the electrical console. I am 6 and a half months pregnant and immediately grabbed my 3-year old daughter and removed her from the room. My husband pulled the stove from the wall and beat the flames out. We have been without a stove since this occurred and we have been fighting with both Frigidaire and Sears to get someone to come service the stove. Sears has been reluctant to send someone to fix the stove because it is a manufacturer's defect. Frigidaire wants to pass responsibility to Sears. What this has meant for us is that we don't have a working/safe stove and that we are at the mercy of service repair people and their busy schedules. On Monday, the 21st, I received a call from Sears at 10:30 am. The message said someone would be out at 11:30 to check out the stove. Since we both work, I received the message at 4 pm. No fix for the stove. A similar scenario replayed itself today.

Frigidaire Glasstop oven Model PLEF398CCC - Top burners have stayed on. Last week, my wife turned the oven to broil and a loud pop and sparks/flames came out of the back up to the range hood and then subsided. I reset the breaker and the same thing happened. This was when I found out about the recall. I called the Recall Help Line to set up service. They cannot service the pop issue until they fix the burners. I was told parts would be sent to my house? Service was set up for Labor Day, Saturday, from 12-5. There were no calls until 2 pm, when I was told that since no parts came, there would be no service. I have had no stove/oven for 10 days and I emailed Frigidaire yesterday. There is no response yet. Obviously these are a huge hazard.

We replaced our kitchen appliances with Frigidaire. Since we bought them, both the refrigerator and stove have given us headaches and reading all the complaints here, I understand that we are not alone. The ice maker in our freezer has never worked right and they have repaired it several times. They couldn't figure out why it was flooding my kitchen with water, but I did. The ice maker will not automatically shut off so when there is no more room, the water shooting into the ice trays has nowhere to go and somehow runs out on the ice distribution area on the front of the fridge and floods my kitchen.
The stove has always been inconsistent. Items on low and left to cook (spaghetti sauce, soup, chilli) boil. They cannot be left to cook on the stove. The oven burns items on the bottom (I have to put a pan or tin foil in between the bottom heat element and food to avoid burns) and if I use the convection, you can see where one half of something is done where the other half still needs to cook. But the scariest thing for us is how extremely hot the oven gets on its exterior. I have burnt my arms, hands and abdomen because of the extreme heat on the outside of the stove. Whether it is because the seal is non-existent or something else, I don't know. But my children have burnt their hands and that burns me!
I will never buy Frigidaire or Electrolux products again. Calling to discuss anything with them, you get a foreigner that you can barely understand and who cannot really help you. If you get a repairman to the house and the problem doesn't replicate while he's there, you are sol. Now my microwave has started, on occasion, giving an electrical pop when I turn it on. It isn't all the time, but it is scary and sounds so dangerous. If and when I can find a job, the first thing that will go is the stove!

Originally, I went to the ConsumerAffairs.com website to file a complaint because the condenser in my Frigidaire refrigerator went bad after 5 years and 2 months, which was, of course, 2 months after the warranty ran out. Customer service offered to pay for the part, but I was going to have to cover the labor, which was going to run for $320. A refrigerator is a major appliance purchase and my thoughts were that all consumers expect major appliances to last much longer than 5 years.
I ran across the link on ConsumerAffairs.com for Chris **, the Escalation Specialist for Electrolux suggesting that consumers should contact him and give him the opportunity to look into any issues that had occurred. Before filing a complaint, I decided obviously that I had not tried everything and maybe the right thing to do would be to contact Mr. **. He responded to my email immediately and offered me a couple of different solutions. I opted to have my refrigerator repaired and it is working as good as new. Electrolux paid for the labor and the part.
I couldn't be happier with the service and the solution I received from Chris **. I had tried on my own to find the name of someone in charge at Electrolux, but to no avail, so thanks to your website for making all this information available to consumers and thanks also to Electrolux and Chris **.

I have a Frigidaire refrigerator and dishwasher that I purchased 4 months ago. I have been experiencing problems with both appliances.
Problem #1 Refrigerator: The ice maker in the refrigerator is grinding up and spitting out slivers of white plastic into the ice, both cubes and crushed ice. The dangerous thing is that you cannot see the plastic in the ice until the cubes or crushed ice melts. Then you see lots of white plastic shavings floating in the melted ice (water).
Problem #2 Dishwasher: The door to the dishwasher when lowered is hanging too low. It seems as if when the lower rack is loaded with dishes, and the weight is on the lowered door, you feel like the dish rack is going to roll out or the door is going to break off.
I made a call to the customer service department on Monday, August 3; and I was given a phone number for an authorized service center. I called the number given to me 5 times over the next two days. I never got an answer. I left messages but never got a return call. So on Wednesday, August 5, I called Frigidaire again. I explained to them that there was no answer with the company that they gave me. They gave me another company to contact. I contacted the second company, Milton Services. I was told by them that they do not service my area. So, I once again contacted Frigidaire. I was told that they would have someone from their escalation specialist department give me a call back within 24 hours.
On Thursday, August 6, I received a call from Jennifer, escalation specialist. I was told by her that she had me scheduled for a service call with A & E Service and the first available date was Monday, August 10, sometime from 8am to 5pm. I took off work Monday, waiting for service. I received a call from A & E services at 12:07pm, and I called them back within 10 minutes. I was told by them that because I didn't answer the phone that they wouldn't be able to come for service that day and that they would have to reschedule me for later in the week. I had already taken off from work and I feel like it is unreasonable for them to say that if I don't answer the phone, they wouldn't be able to come. This was even though I called them back within 10 minutes from the time they called me. It didn't matter.
So, I once again had to call Frigidaire back and explain the situation to them. I asked them if there isn't any way they can have someone service it, after all I did have an appointment for then and I had taken off work. She said they couldn't come that day, but she would reschedule me for the next day, which was today, August 11. I once again took off from work to make sure I was here for the service technicians to work on the appliances. I got a call from A & E at 9am this morning wanting to schedule me for one day this week. I explained to them that I was supposed to have an appointment for today. They said they didn't have me scheduled, despite the fact that I had a confirmed appointment from the Frigidaire customer representative that I had spoken to on Monday, August 10.
Again, they didn't show up; and I have taken two days off from work and still have gotten nowhere in regards to having my appliances repaired. As of my last conversation with Jennifer of Frigidaire a few hours ago, I was told to contact their service provider for service; and that is all they could do. She said to make sure I answer the phone and that they were not responsible if they couldn't reach me. I felt that was a very unfair statement for her to make, considering I have taken off from work two days and still haven't gotten the service that I was promised.

We paid good money for a brand new Frigidaire stainless steel fridge, stove and microwave combo in December 2006 at Rex Appliance in Watertown, NY. It was our (my wife and I) Christmas gift to each other. The refrigerator has already gone up. We paid $59.00 plus tax for a service call to tell us that the compressor has gone up and that it will be between $500 to $600 parts and labor to fix it, not to mention over $100 in food gone bad. I am very disappointed in the lack of quality in Frigidaire. Our refrigerators in the past have lasted well over 20 years. Some more then 30-plus. We have had this Frigidaire for 2-plus years and now we have to go out and spend a minimum of over $1350.00 to replace it with another stainless steel fridge (in another brand ) to match our other appliances.
This is very costly and no one should have worry about this with a refrigerator this new. In or out of warranty, no new refrigerator should have that short of a lifespan. We will definitely not be buying anything Frigidaire or Electrolux again. I would appreciate it if Frigidaire would cover these expenses of the repair parts and labor and spoiled food for us, in which case I may consider purchasing Frigidaire or Electrolux again in the future. Please contact me ASAP via email.

On January 10, 2009, we purchased a Frigidaire Freezer, Model LFFI14F5HWC -Serial WB84817319 and also purchased the additional 4-year protection plan from the Lowe’s store in Florence, KY. The freezer was delivered on January 12,2009. Around April 15th, 2009, it started making a grinding noise and ran constantly. On Monday, April 27, we called for service and were told that they would get back to us 2 days later to set up an appointment. After calling back a few times, an appointment was set up for Thursday, April 30th. When the repairman from Central Service came, he said the freezer needed a new fan and that he had seen others of this model that had to have the fans replaced. The part was not in stock and would have to be ordered. The freezer was making so much noise and was running constantly, so we unplugged it and were fortunate enough to be able to transfer the contents elsewhere. Since the freezer was only 3 months old, we felt like waiting for the fan was an unnecessary inconvenience - so my husband went to the Florence store and was referred to an assistant manager - Sue **.
She more or less told us it was our tough luck that these things happen. We felt like the freezer should have been replaced since we no longer feel secure about its performance. The Central Service Man did return on May 12th and replaced the fan so actually we were without the freezer for 11 days. The service representative that was contacted for service assured us that any loss of contents would be reimbursed, but that's not always possible since a lot of the food was frozen from the garden and is irreplaceable. In all our years of dealing with appliance services, we have never been told that we would have to wait 2 days to make an appointment.
We shared our experience with one of our friends, and they had a similar experience with a refrigerator they had purchased from Sears. When they called for service, Sears brought them a new refrigerator and exchanged it the very next day - so I guess I know where we'll be going the next time we need a new appliance and will also advise our friends & family to do the same.

We had our home built by Beard Builders in 2004. We picked Frigidaire appliances for our new home, which was completed Nov. 2004. I have had a problem with both the microwave and the dishwasher. The microwave had a little paper "card" covering a hole on the side of the microwave that kept sparking and burning. I finally slipped it out of the two little inserts to prevent a fire. As for the dishwasher, during this last year I noticed we had trouble getting the dishwasher to accept our wash selection. We had to go to the breaker box and turn it off for a few seconds. This would reset the computer and would then accept our wash selection. Last night, I turned on the dishwasher and went to bed. At 4:30 this morning I awoke to the strong smell of plastic burning. I checked the dishwasher and found everything plastic, even the cups on the top shelf, had melted! It was still on and very hot. The heating element had not turned off. I had to turn it off by the breaker. It melted the end off of the plastic "rotating, water distribution" part. I was wondering if there was a recall on these appliances that I haven't heard about?

I have read all the complaints and have to say I wonder now if calling the company is just even needed. Sad! I paid $1,000.00 for the darn thing and to have this problem is ridiculous! Most companies have a lifetime rust warranty on their appliances and given my washer and dryer are not of the same brand, Maytag, which has a Lifetime warranty on all their appliances for a rust issue. It says to me that they stand behind their product. Just a note, in the recent weeks I have been advised to write a formal letter of complaint, send it to both Frigidaire and the State Attorney General's office for the state it was manufactured in and your home state for any type of result. I don't know how far that will get me but I will try it. Seems like calling isn't gonna work. I will never purchase another product from this company again.

I purchased a refrigerator in August 2005 and the freon leaked out. We had a repairman replace the freon and it is still not working. We are very disappointed that it is only four years old and not functional.

My Frigidaire Affinity front load washer and dryer have been nothing but problems! There is black mold on the bottom of the washer and I can't get it all out. Now the computer board has gone out on the washer and the dryer board says that a button is stuck and it only dries for a few seconds to minutes at a time before shutting off. They are only 2 years old. I can't afford to fix them or buy new ones. It looks like I shouldn't put in money into them after reading all of the problems other people have had. What a rip off!

We built our home in 2000 and decided to use all Frigidaire appliances. I loved the Frigidaire stove and decided to use the same brand throughout the home. We began having problems with the appliances except for the stove almost immediately. However, this was the second stove; we had to return the first because it did not work. We had service done on all items, and the same problem started within a few months. Our dishwasher stopped working. The refrigerator is always leaking. The dryer goes out frequently and leaves burn marks on the clothes. We will never buy Frigidaire again, and we are remodeling, so we plan to replace all appliances within a year.

I purchased 4 appliances from Specialty Appliance, LLC in Myrtle Beach, S. C. for our condo. We have had problems with 3 of the 4. Refrigerator was delivered with attempted repair of freezer door. Rust forming on new stove oven door. Paint flaking off inside microwave. Specialty Appliance replaced the freezer door, replaced the rusting part on the oven door, while doing that he cracked another area on the oven door, told me that it was defective paint inside the microwave and would replace the microwave. Received a call from them that Frigidaire would not replace the microwave but would sand and repaint. I said that was unacceptable. They said take it up with Frigidaire. I called them.
Took information, said they would get back to me in 72 hrs. Never heard from them, called them on Oct.22,2008. Was not cooperative, said they would not replace microwave, when I asked to have that put in writing/email etc. was told THEY COULD NOT DO THAT! I kept asking to be connected with someone above them, was told manager was on another line. I kept insisting to speak with top management, (also each person I spoke with would not give me their last name) Finally, was connected to Lawrence who did give me his last name: **, customer service supervisor. Said he could not send me any written notice that they would not replace the microwave. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!

Purchased Frigidaire double built-in gas oven, model # FGB24T3ESB, on 12/27/2006, from local Sears store, & paid to have it installed. It did not seem to be leveled properly and the door on oven did not always want to open just right. I noticed, but I thought I could get my husband to just re-level it maybe! Well, before I could say something to him about it, it got much worse. Then one day, the door just fell off all together! When I put the door back over the hinges, it seemed to work better, so we thought maybe the guys had just not took the time to get it on good--they had been in a real hurry that day!
But it didn't take long till I started having the same old problem again with it hanging! It was like getting a work-out everytime I cooked!! I have a disability- Ankylosing Spondilitis-so any pulling and tugging REALLY takes a toll on my body!! I finally got to where I just could not use the oven at all! I called a tech. out, and was informed that the hinge on the right side of my oven door would have to be replaced, and it would cost more than my oven cost for him to take it in to the shop to do this! NO THANK YOU!! THESE HINGES LOOK AS IF THEY ARE MADE OF SLIGHTLY STRONGER METAL THAN TIN!!
I called the Electrolux Co. the next day and have been trying to deal with someone from that Co. ever since (that was in April, 2008). I have talked to at least 5 different customer service reps., who have all refused to EVER let me talk to one of the ones I have previously talked to; I have asked repeatedly to talk to one of their supervisors, and been repeatedly denied, and I have left my phone # for one of their head guys to return my call on more than one occasion, without success!! I did get their parts dept. to send me the hinges for both sides of the oven, back in May of this year, and my brother, who is a very good mechanic, replaced the right side hinge, to where it was more stable than it had been from the manufacture, and within 2 weeks, the door started hanging again!! This oven is SIMPLY a faulty product!!
If you go to Sears website for their store and look at their product page, check out their reviews for their ovens, you will see that there are like 4 out of 5 reviewers that rate this same exact oven that have had the same problem & service techs have told them the ovens can't be repaired!!
I told the Electrolux people they should be ashamed to still allow these ovens to be sold!! Take them off the market if you are not going to refund people's money!!All they will offer me is a 50% rebate on another Frigidaire, or a Tappan, Gibson, Kelvinator, or White-Westinghouse Oven! (I can't even find any of those brands in a gas oven anymore where I live--they tell me they've stopped making them in gas-- I keep telling them I am handicapped-- I am not able to go everywhere looking, plus the space I have to put an existing oven has to be considered??)
Why won't they just work with me a little here, you know?? The trim on the outside of this oven gets SO HOT within a few seconds of turning it on. I told them it is also a FIRE HAZARD!! You would think they would want to do what's right because of that!!

My name is Daniel ** and in October 2005, I purchased a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer from Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas. These appliances are less than 2 years old and I have already experienced problems with all of them but the washer. I could not afford, nor think I would need, the extended warranties (especially within 2 years) and did not purchase them. Nor can I afford the prices that are charged to replace the parts and the ripoff service calls. I know of many people, including my parents, who have had the same appliances for 10-20 years and do not understand the apparent lack of concern you have for your customers.
Needless to say, I am disgusted with your products and your retailers and will never purchase another Frigidaire product. You allowed us to buy the extended warranty on the dishwasher when it stopped working after 6 mos. We can't afford anything else having to do with you. We will have to purchase Maytag. Furthermore, I will use whatever media at my disposal to advise the public of the inferior products that you produce. I am also contacting the Better Business Bureau and Attorneys General in both Missouri and Georgia. I am sick of being ripped off by major companies trying to get rich.

After 6 years and 5 months, our side-by-side Frigidaire DIED. The temp was warm, no ice cubes were being made... so we called out a service man. He said it was too far gone and just to replace it. Sad to think that a $2000 item can only last this long. It would have cost $1500-$1700 to fix. So we did go back to the same store, bought a GE Profile for $3000. We noticed ONLY the Frigidaires were the cheapest or on sale. Hope something can be done w/ them making these defective products.

I bought this Frigidaire stove from Sears for approximately $1400. I purchased the extended warranty from Sears. There is a clause for the Lemon Law that states if they come out more than 3 times in a year the stove will be replaced. They have been out 4 times and never fixed it. The clause also states they have to replace a functional part which has only been one time and it still doesn't work. Sears has now scheduled another repairman out within the next week. I am addressing this more to Frigidaire than I am Sears. Sears has their policies and rules and won't change but I bought a top of the line 30 Frigidaire stove that has been nothing but trouble since I've had it.
I feel I purchased a lemon. The stainless steel top has been replaced because it rusted. The new one rusted also and they told me it's not covered now. I am 80 years old and I can't afford to purchase another stove but I feel my life could be in danger if this unit shorts out and catches fire or I leave something cooking and catch the house on fire. My family is fully aware of the stress and aggravation I have had and would definitely file a lawsuit if something happens to me after all of the times I have requested service, got a service man who did not fix it and continue fighting the same problems I started with when I purchased it.
I had to borrow a stove last Christmas while waiting for a repair person. The stove has a short that has never been fixed. There are times that if you turn the units on in low light you can see fire and/or light flicker in the back panel of the stove. I am afraid to leave anything on the back units because I have never been able to turn the units down to simmer and be assured the food would not burn. The units change temperature without me touching the controls.

In 2006 my Wife and I purchased a Frigidaire Affinity Washer and Dryer. About a year later, we noticed that our clothes had a very bad odor. We checked everything we could think of, right down to the water. Finally we discovered it was coming from the washing machine. After two service calls, sent by Frigidaire. NO TOOLS PULLED OUT The second one said to run cleaning tablets called (affresh) sold at sears through the washer. I used 3 tablets to no avail.
After quite an ordeal, Airport appliance said they would take my $2,494.32 Washer and Dryer and give $500 Toward a new set bought from them. (WHAT A JOKE!) Anna from Frigidaire said they would give me a rebate on a new set bought from them. Again (WHAT A JOKE!) Airport Appliance nor Frigidaire stand behind their products and I would recommend that no one buy anything at all from either company.

I purchased a Frigidaire Refrigerator on 7/5/08 it was delivered to my home on 7/8/08, I live alone and I went on vacation 2 days later on the 10th and was back home on 7/30/08, shortly after, i noticed that the panel around the water and ice dispenser on the door (outside) started to separate from the fridge, I visited a friend who had the exact same fridge for only a few months and she was having the exact same problem on hers. Since this seem to be a problem inherent in this line i told Brandsmart I wanted to change this fridge and get a different one.
I was told that because it was a cosmetic problem and the 30 day return period had expired they would not do that, but they would send a tech to look at it and glue it back. When the tech came I told them I wanted to change the fridge not glue it as this is a $1600 brand new fridge and should be in perfect condition. A few days later I noticed there was frost accumulating inside the freezer around the ice dispenser.
When I contacted Brandsmart, I was told again they would not change it, but would send another tech to look at it. I have contacted the company directly and have gone to the store and spoken with the saleperson and the manager. Nothing has been resolved, I paid a lot of money for a new fridge not a refurbished one, this store is making it difficult in the hopes that i will give up, its not right. I feel that as the consumer i should have some rights also.
Frost inside the water and ice dispenser. Panel on the door outside the fridge around the ice and water dispenser coming off.

On July 1 of 2007, while building a house, we ordered a Frigidaire stove through Lowe's in Tilton, NH. We received it in Aug., installed it in November. The first time I used it, it did not reach the temperature it should have. I immediately called Lowe's, asking to return it, but were told we had to go through Frigidaire to get it repaired. We were unable to get hold of Frigidaire until May of 2008.
They sent a Reliable Appliance Service technician on June 25. He changed the ignitor, to no avail. We called them again and someone came out on July 10 to change the thermostat. On August 26, they came and changed the control panel, but the stove still didn't work correctly. All this time, the stove was under warranty.
The stove still does not work properly, but we are being told that it is no longer under the year warranty. But the issue is that it has never worked correctly from the beginning. The technicians that came out, came out during the year warranty period and never got the stove working properly. They just kept changing parts. We want a refund so that we can buy a stove that works from a reliable company that respects and honors its customers.
The result is that we have a stove that we paid over $500 for that does not work properly.

Problems with the washer, door switch was recalled, won't clean good, drain pump had to be replaced. This machine is junk. Service call, cost of pump, had to do it myself. Can't afford to keep paying for service calls. I think a class action law suit should be taken, there are a lot of complaints about these washers out there.
