    I bought a 12,000 BTU Window unit, and as others said, it does not get cold enough as the numbers on the air conditioner show, but still, it was nice. They do get a lot of mold, and after 4 years, it stops cooling the room; the fan works, but the cold air from the air conditioner is not existent.

    Purchased a window unit in July, the unit started freezing and blowing warm air. Contacted Frigidaire because the unit didn't even last 2 months. They told me they couldn't honor the 1 year warranty because it was purchased through Per Pay and they wasn't an authorized dealer for frigidaire. 300 dollars on their unit and will not honor warranty. This is the craziest excuse I have ever heard. It is still their product. I suggest stay away from frigidaire products. Microwave is from frigidaire too and it keeps flicking on and off sometimes when using. 2 products and both are crap. Wasted money with no warranty even if it's only been 2 months of use.

      We bought our house brand new in 2021. Came with a split unit as we have a 300 sq foot bonus room above the garage. We have had nothing but problems with this from day one! Will not keep the bonus room cool in summer, warm in the winter and we have had numerous problems with parts going bad. It’s not user friendly and the main board constantly has to be reprogrammed when we lose power (which happens too frequently where we live). We have made at least 7 service calls in less than 5 years. We expected better quality out of brand new equipment than what we have had so far. Would not recommend.

      I have 3 Frigidaire air conditioners. They’ve been used for 1 1/2 seasons. They are completely full of mold. My toddler and I are constantly sick. Customer service doesn’t care at all and expects me to pay a repair person. These units only have six months of use total. I would never recommend Frigidaire to anyone.

      They made me chat with customer service for over 2 hours and could not resolve my issue (air conditioner won't connect to wifi). They did not offer a service call or a partial refund - it is a brand-new a/c unit and should not have this many issues out of the box.

      Frigidaire is dishonest. Frigidaire lies about its customers. Frigidaire lies to avoid honoring valid warranties. Frigidaire claimed my air conditioning units failed due to shipping damage. This is a lie. I never reported shipping damage. I never implied shipping damage. I never hinted at shipping damage. I reported from day one that my units shut off on their own with no programming from the app and no interference from me. Frigidaire ignored this. Frigidaire’s customer service is incompetent and lazy. For nearly 30 days I received no meaningful response. I was fed recycled lines by undertrained agents reading from scripts. “We will call you back.” They never did. “Wait 48 to 72 hours.” I waited. Nothing. “We have escalated this.” No evidence of it. “Try again later.” “Try a different browser.” “Call back Monday.” “We have no update.” I lost count of the false promises.

      Frigidaire forced me to peel off serial stickers, voiding my warranty early, then did nothing. Frigidaire told me to submit the same claim again on a glitch-ridden site. I tried almost ten browsers. I finally forced it through. Still no real follow-up. Instead, Frigidaire fabricated a fantasy about shipping damage to deny my claim. I now own two nonfunctional units. I spent nearly $400 on another AC unit to survive the summer heat while Frigidaire did nothing. Frigidaire shows zero respect for its customers’ time, money, or trust.

      Frigidaire avoids responsibility through deceit. Frigidaire’s so-called customer support is a loop of hollow apologies and excuses. For example, on July 11, 2025 I spoke for nearly TWO HOURS with yet another rep named, "Gigi". After repeating my entire near 30-day history of neglect by Frigidaire, she "noted" my claim, and the evidence submitted. She said she would do everything she could to call me or e-mail me back, or have "administration" do so by Monday, July 14, 2025. I just called, and to be transferred. She was "NOT AVAILABLE" to take the call. Then I spoke with yet another clueless rep, repeated the same story. Struck down the lie they keep stating about "damage during shipping", and was put on an endless loop of, "please hold, sir, I am trying to escalate and get "administration" to speak with you about your claim". Frigidaire is pathologically inept, incompetent, and lying.

      I demand immediate shipment of two replacement units or their upgraded equivalents with tracking numbers. Or I demand a full refund including tax and shipping of $616.38. If Frigidaire refuses, I will pursue every legal option. I will not accept any follow-up calls or emails from offshore centers. If this must escalate, I expect contact from a US-based representative who can provide an address for direct resolution. Frigidaire’s reputation is well earned. Dishonesty. Disrespect. Refusal to honor warranties. I will warn others. I will ensure my evidence is available for any necessary legal action.

      Before making any appliance purchases, especially air conditioning units, consider our experience with Frigidaire. We bought a Frigidaire portable air conditioner unit last June, and initially encountered problems. Despite Frigidaire customer service assuring us it was normal, we returned the unit and received a replacement. The new unit functioned properly for one season. However, after storing it at room temperature over winter and attempting to use it again in May, it failed to work.

      We contacted Frigidaire multiple times, on May 7, May 15, and May 27, and were consistently told to expect a response within 7 to 10 business days. As we entered June, our issues remained unresolved. We even filed a claim with the Better Business Bureau, but Frigidaire failed to respond! Customer service continues to claim that our return is being processed, leaving us without a functioning air conditioner in mid-July. Interestingly, Frigidaire's website offers two-day free shipping for new air conditioner purchases. #dontbuyfrigidaire #Frigidaire

      I bought a 14,000 BTU (model FHTC142WA2) wall AC and had it installed in the living room by the delivery crews on 6/20/2025. I was very disappointed with this product. I chose this AC unit because I thought Frigidaire was a big company and the reviews on many retailer websites are very positive. My room temperature is 80 degrees (outdoor is 90 deg in Chicago area where I live), this AC unit operates like a fan, more than half of the time (may be 2/3 of the time) does not blow cold air with just the fan running, no matter I set it to Auto or Cool setting, or, set it to 70 or 62 deg. My thermometer indicates 80 deg even the unit is on for the entire day. I returned the unit to the retailer in the following day, there is no reason to spend $890 for a fancy fan, getting another brand is my best bet. I ended up losing $178 installation fees. Frigidaire will be out of my consideration for any future purchase.

      Frigidaire author review by ConsumerAffairs Research Team

      After manufacturing early versions of electric refrigerator in 1916, The Guardian Frigerator Company was bought and renamed Frigidaire by General Motors in 1918. Since then, Frigidaire has been a major innovator of home technology, including introducing the first color-matching appliances, the first home chest freezer and the first automatic ice dispenser. Today consumers appreciate Frigidaire’s focus on energy-efficiency and smart technology along with their versatile selection of air conditioners.

      • Versatility: Frigidaire sells several different types of air conditioners, including window, wall, portable, ductless split, PTACs and central air conditioning units. With such a variety, Frigidaire has something for everyone.

      • Easy to find: Frigidaire’s “dealer locator” option on their website makes it easy to find a retailer who sells Frigidaire in your area. You can also find a certified contractor to install your HVAC system through their website.

      • Rebates: Frigidaire routinely offers rebates and promotions on all its products, including air conditioners. Make sure to check their website before you buy your air conditioner to see if your purchase qualifies for a special offer.

      • Online product support and manuals: Don’t worry if you misplace your manual. Frigidaire’s website houses manuals for its products so you can quickly access the information you need. The website also has product support for troubleshooting and general questions.

      • Free shipping: Customers who prefer to shop online will enjoy free shipping on purchases over $25. Purchases that are less than $25 enjoy flat-rate shipping.
