Frigidaire Dishwashers Reviews

Purchased a Frigidaire Dishwasher in Feb. 2013 Model #FGHD2465N131A, and also a 3 year extended warranty. Dishwasher has started and stopped by itself multiple times, has control panel interface and power vent fixed twice. Have been told that the 3 year extended negates the first one year mfg warranty, so instead of 4 years, now 3 which the warranty is up. Sales person told me he 'does not understand the contract he sells' which are kept at the store in Greenfield where purchased, and that Appliances just don't last... If would cost us $100 to have repair guy now come out and try and fix it again. Cannot find the model number anywhere on frigidaire site? Is there no recourse on this. Will Not do business with Manny's again.

I bought all of the most expensive Gallery Series Stainless appliances last June 16. The top line Dishwasher offered is the biggest disappointment of any appliance purchase in my life. It stinks, I mean really smells bad and is poorest dishwasher, like in doesn't clean at all. My garden hose would do a better job. I wish I could get my money back. I'll never buy any Frigidaire products again.

Dishwasher does not heat up the water. Had repair man out and he said it doesn't have a heater. Dishwashing tabs do not disintegrate, tried the Finish cleaning product and the dishwasher could not even melt the wax to let the cleaner worker correctly. Had to replace the 1 year old Frigidaire washer and dryer because they don't work, now we will need to replace the dishwasher. Waste of over $2,000. Worst appliance products ever.

In April 2013 I bought a Frigidaire refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher – the GALLERY series, stainless steel. What a disappointment. The "HEATING ELEMENT" has warped and the bottom of dishwasher was burned and melted on left side, causing a hole, approximate size to a quarter coin. It now leaks on the floor. The other side of heating element is higher than it should be and melted lower washer blade. I am very disappointed in the design of this machine.

We purchased our home in April 2016 and the Frigidaire Galley appliances were already installed. They looked beautiful, stainless. After a short time we noticed the dishwasher was not dissolving the soap tablet. I tried loading the racks different, watched videos, cut the tablets in half. The odor was terrible, I contacted Frigidaire who told me to run the dishwasher without dishes and to use vinegar in the bottom. I have the hot water tank turned to "c" and always get the water hot at the sink before turning on the dishwasher. I had a repair person come check the dishwasher and he said that is the way Frigidaire works.

I've had this piece of junk for 2 years. My local independent appliance dealer recommended it as a mid-priced, dependable unit. It has never cleaned the dishes well, doesn't dissolve the detergent tablets, has cheap plastic parts that fall off, and has stopped working 3 times in just over 2 years. I bought an extended warranty the first year but didn't get a reminder to renew it. So the last two service calls were on my dime and cost almost as much as a new dishwasher. There is a reason that appliance manufacturers keep changing model numbers. They don't want bad consumer reviews on models currently on the market. I would never buy another Frigidaire dishwasher.

I bought the Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher to match the rest of my Gallery appliances. All were bought new. Had the dishwasher "repaired" under warranty because it will not dissolve detergent, doesn't clean dishes, and SMELLS. Frigidaire is aware of this problem, as they informed repair people to advise the customer to place the detergent in the silverware tray. I also noticed this serial number was promptly discontinued. Numerous calls to Frigidaire, no help. This was not a cheap dishwasher, but I've had apartment grade dishwashers do a better job. I will be filing a complaint regarding this dishwasher... I want one that works! You would think a nearly 3 hour cleaning cycle could clean the dishes, especially after rinsing, scrubbing them first. Nope. They come out looking worse than when I load them in the dishwasher. Very pissed customer here!!!

Bought this dishwasher about a year ago, and though I don't remember its cost, it wasn't cheap. It is quiet, but from the first day, it did not do a good job cleaning dishes. The detergent dispenser doesn't always open and the dishes nearly always need extra cleaning. Even after 2 or 3 times through on a long cycle (159 minutes), the dishes don't get clean and there is soap or a little food residue on the inside of the door which proves it doesn't clean or rinse well. The need for multiple runs and to pre-wash dishes by hand before running the dishwasher more than overcomes the Energy Star rating it has.

We replaced a 10 year old Kenmore with a new Frigidaire Gallery and while the Gallery does a better job cleaning, within a few weeks, it smelled to the high heavens. We've tried every remedy we could find and the smell always returns to the point where we handwash dishes just to keep from having to open the dishwasher door. Never had that problem in any way with the old Kenmore.

Just out of warranty when any problems appear (by design) we had a sagging door that makes the rack with a full load dishes come flying out, you have to keep a hand on the rack or it will slam the top part of the lowered door. Spring & twine door return are not broken. Not enough spacing between the lower rack and the upper spray bar causing it to hit or hang on the standard size plates. (Did adjust the upper rack to the highest setting.) Soap dispenser door hangs on the upper rack when opening to release the tablet causing the middle spray arm to hit making a constant ticking until the main dishwasher door is opened and closed letting the soap dispenser clear the upper rack.

Bought a Frigidaire dishwasher 2 years ago, it lasted just over 1 year and the warranty expired in a year. It leaked all over my hardwood floor and ruined it. When I took it apart I found cheap plastic parts and screws that had rusted and fell off which created the problem. Just took 5000 btu Frigidaire air conditioner back to Lowes today and argued to get my money back with returns because it was 4 days over the 30 day warranty. Is this a coincidence that these appliances are breaking down just after the warranty deadline? Poor quality products that should never be put on store shelves. Do not buy Frigidaire or waste your money on the extended warranty, they are just scamming you out of money.

Purchased dishwasher October, 2014. Paid high price for it because I thought it would do better job and last for years. Wrong!! Heating element has warped and bottom of dishwasher was burned and melted on left side. It now leaks on the floor. The other side of heating element is higher than it should be and melted lower washer blade and it's stuck to it. No, I did not load my dishwasher incorrectly and cause this problem. It's a piece of junk. Very disgusted.

I've had the UO error on my dishwasher three times now over the past year. The dishwasher worked fine for 1.5 years and then the dreaded UO error appeared. I called Frigidaire to explain the situation and they said there was nothing they could do since the dishwasher was out of warranty. Poor customer service and poor quality product. Time to move on to a different brand. Frigidaire lost my business.

Dishwasher FPID2497RF - For $799.00 price this is the worst purchased I ever made. I had Frigidaire appliances before that are still working but this dishwasher I totally regret buying, I purchased all the appliances to match for my new kitchen. Salesman at Standard Appliances (which never returned calls) convinced my husband that these were the best. The brand new refrigerator had to be replaced within a month from delivery they sent us another new one. Now this dishwasher has spilled water with no reason through the seals while during cycle. I was told that nothing is wrong with this dishwasher which now I hate! It never dries the dishes completely especially glass and Tupperware. I am using the recommended Finish products and always leaves a thick film on the dishes. I have read the manual back and forth and cannot figure out why it does that. My 20yr old $199.00 dishwasher was doing better job than this one.

Frigidaire Dishwasher Model # FPHD2491KF0 - Up until a few days ago, it was just dissatisfaction with the number and cost of repairs on a fairly expensive machine. The biggest issue until now was being told I had to purchase an entire new door because the bottom seal had failed. We woke up to a strange smell. Upon investigating, the dishwasher was entirely turned off, yet the bottom heating element had been energized all night. It was hot enough inside to bake bread. There was melted plastic from the utensil basket dripping/sagging onto the element. Nothing I tried would turn the element off. The only way to de-energize was to open the door and leave it that way. The control panel was completely shut off. My assumption is that the relay controlling the heating element had failed. This is an unsafe design; any high current device should be controlled by a relay that opens when it fails.

Dishwasher smells bad! Checked dishwasher where water was sitting in the bottom, ran wire through drain hose as far as it would go, still stinks! Called Frigidaire, customer service did not have a clue what to tell us! Said she would send paperwork (drawings, etc) to our address. No tech support, said we would have to call repair person. Have had the house less than 3 years, and just moved into it permanently. So dishwasher has only been used very few times.

I bought a Frigidaire dishwasher at Sears and before the year was over I had to call a technician to repair the sensor. A few months later when the warranty expired the same problem occurred, the sensor broke. I wonder if I can complain to Sears about this problem.

I've been trying to get Frigidaire to fix my dishwasher for eight months. Simon the third company fixing it. They have replace the motor, the front electric panel twice, compositor, drain plug, main electric panel in back, sensors, door harness and new wiring. Still doesn't work. Talked to service dept. They want me to get another company in. Won't give me replacement dishwasher. They basically want to keep trying to fix it so they just keep you going. The last tech said they won't come out anymore it's unfixable. Just get runaround from company. I had a Maytag for twenty years with no problem - now I can't get this fixed. Only worked ten months. They tried to get me to buy a warranty also, told them no. Don't know what to do... Tech said they'd never replace it just keep trying to fix it.

Trouble from the beginning with the "top" Frigidaire dishwasher. Didn't clean, leaked, etc. Second replacement now 1.2 years old and out of warranty, of course. Control panel not working. Cost almost as much as washer to repair. Just going to junk it. Close to a grand out of the window. Wish I could push this piece of crap out the window. DO NOT BUY THIS BRAND OF DISHWASHER. I checked Consumer Reports, compared, etc. and it had a pretty good rep. WRONG.

This is not a cheap dishwasher and I expected it to be at least as good as my previous dishwashers which were all over 10 years old and one even 25 years of perfect performance. This piece of junk broke after not even 2 years because of a defective part that cost 75$ and another 180$ to replace. Don't bother buying something more elaborate or expensive, it is obviously still rocket science to Frigidaire to build a dishwasher. Oh and then try to reach customer service in Canada. Is there a customer service because I have never gotten further than recorded messages saying "your call is important to us." SHAME ON YOU! I will never buy Frigidaire again!

Just installed a brand new Frigidaire dishwasher. Tried to pull the top rack out but the top spray arm stops it halfway. Forced it out, but now can't get it back in. What kind of design is this?

On about 2010 we purchased a dishwasher from Wilson's. They would come they would send a repairman here (if) it did not come into broken to get the faulty part from computer boards to fan motors etc. We purchased this appliance along with a extended 5 year warranty. Over those years, we had well over 20 service calls. Wilson's gave us a copy of the work orders. Each time they would come to look at it there would be exactly a week to get the part to the part and have the service man come.

We have had our Frigidaire Dishwasher for 3 years now. Within the first year we had to replace the silverware basket. It fell apart and was not covered under their warranty. Now 2 years later, the lower dish rack is falling apart. We have also had continual problems with the soap not dispensing completely. This dishwasher is a complete lemon and would never buy another Frigidaire appliance. They do not stand behind their product. Next time we will do some thorough research before purchasing an appliance. We had gotten this one through a Home Warranty that came with our house when we purchased it a few years ago. I would definitely spend the extra money on a product that has a much better reputation!!

Remodeled kitchen yr. half ago. Got new appliances. Frigidaire dishwasher has never dried. Thrown out silverware because rusted having been in it few hrs. Have to dry every item. Have had service people twice. First time less than 2 weeks. Not draining. Have called where I bought ask about drying. Told how they are. Stinks if door not left open. Have to dry down inside door as water spots, tons of water. One of buttons already felt inside pull loose. Matter of days before breaks on outside. If bump it lightly and air light comes on - cannot get it off. Have to throw breaker for kitchen!!! Sometimes cannot get started. Absolute worst dishwasher ever used. Used a lot of them. It's trash. Yesterday visited new house. They ask if I heard of a dishwasher (brand new) couple months not drying- stinking-having to dry dishes-all stemmed when open. Exact same as mine. Bought same place, paid high price. Very bad one!

We purchased Frigidaire appliances back in 2007 or 2008: stove, microwave, dishwasher, washer, dryer. In the intervening 8 or 9 years, there is not a one of them that hasn't broken in some way. The handle to the microwave broke off about 2 years after purchase. The dishwasher has to be "teased" to turn on. One of the burners on our stove doesn't work. The washer has had to be serviced twice. The dryer door has to be taped shut with electrical tape. I wish we had read the reviews I have found on here and other places. We wouldn't have spent thousands of dollars on these worthless products. I hope to keep other people from making the same mistakes we made.

A year ago, I remodeled my entire condo and bought brand new appliances. I bought an FGID2466QF4A dishwasher from Frigidaire. Since I have used it, there is virtually not one time that I didn't have to wipe out the dishes either for water (it rarely dries properly), for dish soap, or worse, for remnants of grease or food. Sometimes, all of the above. It infuriates me every time. It is the worse dishwasher I have ever owned. What is the point of looking all fancy and futuristic, if it can't do the simplest task it's supposed to do: wash and dry dishes and utensils properly?

Remodeled entire kitchen. Microwave failed in two years. Stove inefficient and gave wife third-degree burn when using self-cleaning feature. Stove not properly insulated. Finally, dishwasher gave out in just under three years. Technician said he actually went to a seminar where "company man" admitted that defective products had been sold but not recalled. Instead of being told how to fix the problem, technicians were COACHED on how to handle customer complaints! Technician demonstrated with magnet that dishwasher was not really stainless steel. He lamented that there was nothing much better being sold. "Buy what looks best and ALWAYS PURCHASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY."

I want to warn other people about this dishwasher before they spend their hard earned money. I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher because I checked the reviews and they were good. This dishwasher sucks! It doesn't clean the dishes (and I use the recommended detergent), the door squeaks so loud every time I open or close it. I've used so much WD40 I expect it to float away. If I had it to do over I would buy a completely different brand! Be forewarned!!!

My husband and I purchased our dishwasher on April 2, 2015. On March 12, 2016 it stopped working. We called Frigidaire since it was under warranty and they set up an appointment for repair. Waited for over 3 hours for repair people then they cancelled. Called Frigidaire they set up another company to come out the next week. Waited almost 4 hours and they showed up. Repair guy looked over the dishwasher and said it needed a new control panel. He said he would order it, that it should take about a week. I checked back several times because they never called me - kept getting told parts were on back order. Frigidaire finally shipped parts directly to me since their certified repair company couldn't get the parts in. The repair guy came out and installed the parts and said it was working. I tried to wash dishes the same night and dishwasher was doing the same thing as before repair.

We purchased the stainless steel gallery series in May 2014. Appliances were delivered in July 2014. The dishwasher has been crappie from the get go. Not draining well, not washing dishes properly and the odor issue was bad. I had to add lemon juice to every load or else the dishes had to be rewashed with hand before using as they smelled awful.The odor even when the dishes are rinsed and placed in it waiting to be washed just takes your breath away. The dishwasher started giving error message within about 8 months. Constantly had to turn off the breaker to reset as often we were unable to clear message or turn it off. It eventually stopped working within 10 months of purchase, issue -error message, which would now not clear even with turning the breaker off, beeping sound that would not stop and just not functioning at all.

We purchased our Frigidaire Gallery Dishwasher in stainless as part of a kitchen remodel. Right after dishwasher was installed I noticed mildew on top of dishwasher. I called the company who told me to turn water heater up as this dishwasher doesn't have fan/blower. We had contractor return but to no avail. I've had to remember to open dishwasher as soon as the cycle ends to keep mildew at bay. Most of the time I go ahead and put freshly washed dishes into hot Clorox water as soon as they are finished. I should not have to do this. I've never had to do this before.

I bought a package of Frigidaire appliances from a local retailer. They sent a service tech out today. Service tech told me that the motor was gone on the dishwasher and the part is so expensive it just pays to buy a new one. I can't believe this dishwasher only lasted 3 1/2 years and no one was using it for over a year and a half. I like the retailer that I bought it from - it is actually the product that was unacceptable. I am very disappointed in Frigidaire.

I bought a Frigidaire Dishwasher two years ago. I received the first error code almost immediately, and just received another. I called Frigidaire and they would not help me in any way. They offered two service repair companies, one that only services my area every other week, and the other more than 2 hours away. Poor quality and they don't stand behind their products. Buy something else.

I purchased a new Frigidaire dishwasher in June of 2015. In September of 2015, I was running the dishwasher on one of the cycles. Hot water began pouring out of the dishwasher, all over my newly done hardwood floor. I called next day re a service person to come out and see what happened and to repair the dishwasher. Service tech took photos of floor, said the pump malfunctioned. It took 3 months to get all the necessary paperwork done to get the floor refinished. Today, May 7, 2016, the dishwasher malfunctioned again. My floor is completely ruined. This time I don't know what happened, but the floor is completely ruined. I want this dishwasher removed from my home and be reimbursed what I paid for it so I can purchase a different brand. I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER Frigidaire appliance.

We've had this dishwasher since the end of 2015. The chemical smell is strongest right after washing cycle. It is so offensive. I either rewash everything by hand or run a second rinse which isn't effective. What is the smell caused by and why didn't this product come with a warning? This is a Frigidaire Professional dishwasher.

MY wife and I purchased a galaxy dishwasher in Dec 2015. We used it 2 times and it broke. A tech has been out here 4 times and it still does not work. Frigidaire wants to send him out again! We told the company we want our money back and we are now getting the runaround. I would not recommend that anyone buy this brand of dishwasher. It is junk.

I purchased a Frigidaire gallery dishwasher 1 year ago from Lowes. Very very disappointed in my choice. The setting lights have never worked, basic normal wash takes 1 hr, 6 min to complete. I have to use 2 dish-washing pods to clean and then sometimes have to end up washing by hand. This is after rinsing, before put in washer. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

I have a standard size apartment Frigidaire dishwasher and it works fast and noiseless. It has two rates for small or large quantities of dishes and it has an energy saving component. Frigidaire FFPD1821MB Energy Star FFPD1821MB 18" Fully Integrated Portable Dishwasher with 6 Wash Cycles, 59 dBA, China/Crystal Cycle, Stainless Steel Interior, SpaceWise, Delay Start, and Energy Star Certified in Black Energy Star: Yes Capacity: 8 place settings Type: Portable Height: 38.5" Depth: 30". Black with soft finish. It looks like a built-in and it can be moved.

In spite of C.U. reports it did not clean dishes unless we pre rinsed them. Food left on got cooked on. OK with features. Prefer stainless steel tub and utensil rack on door like our new Whirlpool. Average size. Plain black front without knobs fit decor. Did not last as long as I would expect. Needed a circuit board replaced which would cost almost that of new dishwasher (with labor factored in).

At first it worked fine. Within 6 months started to have issues - leak from front door seal, dishes not clean as before. Within a year the control board failed and it cost more for a new one than it was worth. Was good size. SS finger marks bad, hard to keep looking good. Total failure of the unit within a short amount of time is really a failure on the manufacturer's part. Will not buy this brand again.

It runs for 1 & 1/2 hrs to wash the dishes. Why? The front plate below the door came off and even when screwed back on, falls off if your foot happens to just gently touches it. Very frustrating. Also very difficult to clean out the small basket in the centre of the bottom of the wash area. Has different cycles depending on whether dishes or pots. It's large. Holds quite a bit. Just plain with controls at top of door.

Cleans good as long as I use the pots and pans setting, but DON'T forget the rinse agent or you will be hand rinsing glasses from top rack. Delay start, 3 temp settings, 4 wash type settings (including upper rack). Holds a lot, 2 big racks enough space in between for tall items. Black glass front. I am very satisfied with it. Had it going on 9 yrs with no repairs needed as of yet. But the key to the life of any dishwasher is soft water. Hard water will kill any dishwasher well before its normal life span.

Consistently gets everything clean - never had an issue with the last two Whirlpool dishwashers I've had. The delay start is important - starts after everyone has had showers and is clean in the morning, has a heat water option when we run out of hot water - two important features for us. Needed the biggest space we could find - good use of the inside space for the typical, standard fitting. Available in black, white or SS - we went with black to match other appliances. Looks good. Biggest issue is the utensil caddy - it's balanced on two tiny little plastic pegs on the bottom rack - terrible design!

I have to rinse everything before putting in the dishwasher. I have tried doing half loads to see if that would work. It didn't. I have tried different settings. I find myself doing most of my dishes by hand anymore. I like the location of the buttons, and being to run only the top for glasses, cups, etc. I have a lot of wash cycle settings. I like the adjustable top shelf and the bottom shelf dividers fold flat for large items. Not sure how to describe the size. It's a standard dishwasher that fits into the space well. The interior has plenty of room to fit the dishes from a normal meal, plus some. It's beautiful. Clean look, which I like. It's a Frigidaire Gallery. I love the way it looks, I hate the way it cleans. Warranty is the same as most of the name brands. I have to run a clean cycle at least twice a month due to really bad odors. I'm really sorry I purchased the darn thing.

It is loud, doesn't clean dishes, water spots on dishes & dishes are not dry after completed cycle. The features offered are sufficient, but do not perform as indicated. For instance, the "pot cleaning" feature does not clean pots; the "spot-free rinse" feature leaves spots on dishes. Capacity not big enough. Not designed to hold dishes correctly for proper cleaning. For instance, if a pot is put on bottom rack, it will block the dishes on top rack from water and detergent. It looks okay. It has a stainless steel front and matches other appliances in my home. However, the stainless steel on front appears thin and not "rich".

Built-in, it came brand new with my apartment rental. I have been using this machine for over a year. It has not yet needed any maintenance work whatsoever on it. The kitchenware (dishes, pots, etc.) have come out spotless and streak-free consistently. It has energy saver setting. The washing process has moderately low-noise settings. It remains clean, durable and long-lasting so far. It has light, normal and heavy duty settings. Delays 1-2-3, hot washing, hot drying included. I never needed to use the heavy duty so far. I have put cookie sheet, lasagna pans, pots and other pans on normal settings without complaint. 2' x 3' feet (width & height), glossy snow white in color, grey printed text on settings, touch-buttons. Frigidaire-FFBD2408NW.

Moderately good at cleaning dishes. Units electronics seize often prior to start or partway through cycles requiring shutting circuit breaker off and on to reset. There doesn't seem to be any condition that causes this. Cycles listed are ok if they matched manual. Opening latch very poorly designed. Was advertised as a stay open door, it's not. It open all the way or closed. Standard size with the layout in the lower rack making placing baking sheets or other long cookware difficult to place. Fits well with my kitchen. Started having service issues early on. Service people replace a switch which didn't solve intermittent electronic control issues. It's off warranted so either it will quit completely, catch fire or continue to limp along for a long time. I would stay away from Frigidaire model FFBD2411NQIA.

If you don't hand wash first, they don't come clean. It leaks a lot. The front vent literally spews water out of it on to floor. I have had it "fixed" and it still does it. They say it's just steam but I end up with a puddle on my floor for a full cycle and clothes end up damp if you lean up against it. This dishwasher is only 14 months old. I love the top rack w built-in wine glass holders. I has 3 water spinners which does seem like it should be coverage to clean. The bottom rack is completely open and flexible. The flatware basket has a few oversized compartments for lids or oversized service utensils. You can really pack this dishwasher full due to the versatile trays.

I moved into a brand-new home complete with new Frigidaire appliances just a little of one year ago. I don't eat at home a lot so I don't use my dishwasher very much. I could not believe it this morning when a repairman called me to tell me that the main pump motor in the dishwasher was done!!! The cost to repair would be almost as much as the dishwasher itself. How can a name brand dishwasher, which isn't used like a normal family would use it, have a main pump motor broken already? I have nothing good to say about this brand and unless I hear from the manufacturer, I will NEVER purchase another appliance from this manufacturer and I'll make sure to let many others know about the lack of a good product line!

I have a Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher that is less than three years old, with a leaking problem that started at the onset of use and continues. To date, I have had the entire inside of the dishwasher replaced. Frigidaire customer service has refused to replace the dishwasher, but offered to sell me a three-year extended warranty after the purchase warranty expired. This has proved to be worthless, unless you enjoy a constant parade of "authorized" technicians coming to your home to scratch their heads, replace a part they think is causing the problem, and return later because the problem is still not corrected. I wrote to the CEO of Electrolux North America to ask for a new dishwasher, and was told because I have the extended warranty, the warranty would have to take care of the problem. I would caution not only to avoid Frigidaire appliances, but any brand that is owned by Electrolux.

It flooded the floors, pump broke, door seal fell off and now there is no power too. I paid over $600 for it. Wait forever for their service people. It's the worst ever. I even emailed and never received an email back. Never buy from Frigidaire.

When we bought our home we bought a basic, no frills dishwasher that did an adequate job. When it was time to replace the unit after 12 years, we upgraded to the Frigidaire Gallery. The salesman told us it was a true workhorse with amazing features and we've done everything by the book, including only using the high end detergent recommended in the manual, as well as finishing rinse, cleaning the trap constantly, etc.

Service man replaced three parts. Working now but I lost trust in the Frigidaire Dishwasher, however, their Fridge and Gas stove so far working fine which I bought together in October 2015.

Purchased model FGID2466QF from Home Depot in April 2015 when we remodeled our kitchen. Three months later (July) it started to smoke and stopped working. After several calls between warranty support & home depot, a tech finally came to look at it. Diagnosed with a fried computer and over 2 months later, came to fix it in Sept. Here we are in January 2016, and the same problem is occurring again. Awful product and even worse service. Clearly we got a lemon, and will never buy from this brand, or store again.

I have not been very happy with my Frigidaire dishwasher because it will not clean dishes very well unless they have been pre-washed. I have tried it on all settings and have gotten the same results. I have had to run the cycle twice a few times in order to remove any remaining particles. This is annoying because the dish soap works best when there is food on the plates. The delay feature works very well as you can set it after dinner and then the dishes are clean in the morning for breakfast.

Door does not shut properly. Had to have custom modification. Took hours to find someone in alleged "customer support" who knew how to order replacement for rinse cap. Terrible experience also with washer & micro. NEVER buy Frigidaire products.

We have purchased the same brand and model three times now over the past ten years. We enjoy the basic features, the size, and interior layout as well as the exterior finish which complements all of our other appliances. The big con however is that the water pump tends to burn out after only several years. We have tried to repair it ourselves and it never has worked out for us. Because the price point is perfect for what we are willing to pay for this type of appliance we continue to purchase it. Recommend if you really need just a basic dishwasher with a nice satin nickel finish.

There is plenty of room for those odd-sized dishes. The silverware holder is larger to hold all the silverware. The glasses fit nicely in the top rack and it cleans splendidly! I love my dishwasher. It makes my "job" so much easier!

We have had some issue with it cleaning properly. Love the way it looks and felt it was a good value. I have to wash every cycle on pots and pans to get the dishes clean. We can't use the regular wash cycle.

Just a basic dishwasher. Does the job fine if you are reasonable by using good detergent, not overloading machine, etc. We do not use the high temp rinse and heat dry to save energy.

I'm not much of a dishwasher person. I prefer to wash my dishes by hand. But as for this one it works, seem to be pretty quiet. And gets dishes clean.

Don't know the model number but it is one of the lowest priced Frigidaire units available at Best Buy. Works pretty well but redeposits specks of dirt inside cups and pots but works acceptably with dishes and other reasonably flat items and silverware, top rack is the worst. Almost exactly at the end of warranty it began to malfunction, would not run, blinking lights on front panel. Went to Frigidaire's website which is absolutely useless. Hunted around the internet and found some not very specific suggestions about resetting the electronics, hit or miss but finally got it working again but it was time consuming and not particularly intuitive. My unit is under counter and hardwired and to reset you must turn off power for 10 - 15 minutes between attempts. Next time I'll install a switch, beats turning off the breaker and anything else on the circuit. And, of course, by the time you discover you have a problem the dishwasher is full of dirty dishes, fun!

Frigidaire Professional. Overall is a good machine. The control panel on the top of the door is not easy to operate especially the start button. We constantly need to restart by cutting off the electricity.

Very difficult to open and shut. Top rack doesn't hold things right. Doesn't clean very well. Bottom rack has no flexibility. Silverware holder tips over.

I have had my Frigidaire dishwasher for at least 6 years now and have not had one problem of any kind with it. It still works just as good as the day I installed it. Considering the price I paid for it and how long it has lasted trouble-free I would certainly recommend it and when necessary will purchase another Frigidaire.

Bought a new Frigidaire kitchen set 3 years ago. Since purchased I had nothing but problems. The problems ranged from not draining to unit leaking and now I'm being told the control panel needs to be replaced. Dishwasher is used about once a week and is not abused. Just for the part it will cost around 150 dollars plus cost of service call. At this point it will be more cost effective to replace unit for fear of unit needing repair in the near future. I have 2000 dollars of Frigidaire appliances in my home and regret having them. I will never buy another Frigidaire or their affiliated companies' product ever.

DO NOT BUY THIS DISHWASHER! I feel luckier than most on this site. We have had our dishwasher for 2.5 years. Recently it started leaking from underneath so I had to replace the water intake valve - it was cheap plastic. It ran for a few weeks and now I have an error message that a vent is open - it will not run. I have to pull the dishwasher out completely and replace either the vent unit which is $110 or the motherboard which is $100 or both. Dishwashers are supposed to be built to last 7 to 10 years. This one is not. After reading all of the other entries I can see why Frigidaire doesn't stand behind their products - they are pieces of junk. I will never buy another Frigidaire appliance again.

We purchased a Frigidaire model FGID2474QF. While under warranty, it started leaking. After two different repair companies and five trips to the house, it still leaks. No one can figure out why, but Frigidaire refuses to give in and wants more repairs tried. It's been 41 days without a dishwasher, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. The policy is to keep trying parts until either we give up and buy another or they finally determine it's not repairable. Not sure how long that will take. Very upset with the responses given by both local companies and Frigidaire representatives, including a "manager."

Growing up in Mexico I had not even heard of a dishwasher that did not involve two human hands until I was a teenager. As a result, after moving to Canada, I was totally amazed when our Frigidaire model PBDL998CC0 was delivered and I was able to sit back and watch TV while the dishes were being cleaned like magic. The first load of dishes however, did not come out clean and after investigating, I discovered I had not removed the plug from the (supplied) drain hose. After that minor fix, the dishwasher performed its duties without any real maintenance for over ten years, except for the rubber seals between the tub and door, which needed to be replaced after about five years.

Frigidaire gallery model #LGBD2435NW serial #TH24432151 purchased Feb. 5 2013. Pump assembly fails March 2015. Two years of service on a major appliance is completely unacceptable! So I call the 800 number inside the machine to voice my dissatisfaction. These are the resolutions I was offered: 1.) I could purchase an extended warranty for $289.00. 2.) I could receive a 10% discount on the part. Of course I laughed at that. My response is this, make a decent product that will give a minimum of 5 years repair free service. If you can't do that get out of the business. I am a ripped off consumer, I want what I paid for and I am not going to get it. Not for a lack of trying either. 3 unsuccessful calls to frigidaire trying to come to a reasonable resolution can only mean intentional defrauding of consumers. Reasonable to me would have been extended warranty and repair at $150.00 or half of what they quoted me.

I would never buy another Frigidaire product. I purchased it on 8/11/14, the drain pump had to be replaced after 3 months. It took 5 weeks to get the part. Three months later the pressure switch had to be replaced. Next time it stopped working, the customer service rep told me to turn off the breaker and wouldn't send a repairman. Last call to Frigidaire was on 12/23/15 right before Christmas. The dishwasher stopped working again, no repairman until 12/28/15. Customer service is rude and all stick to their scripted responses. The machine doesn't wash dishes well and doesn't dry them. DO NOT BUY ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS.

I have had my dishwasher for a little over 3 years. I have already replaced the upper dishwasher rack because it cracked. It cost over $100. The wheels on the upper rack that slide it in and out are worn out. The wheels are a cheap plastic. I have already replaced the wheels on the lower rack several times. When I went to order the wheels for the upper rack which are slightly smaller (the lower wheels don't work), I am told I have to buy the whole upper dishwasher rack for $151.00. I checked many appliance repair places and also the Frigidaire Co. to confirm this. I even asked if they had any other appliances that I could use the wheels from. No! I will never buy a Frigidaire appliance again. I bought a Frigidaire stove at the same time and it was deemed "unfixable" because of a design flaw that let water into the stove and shorted out the burners. I had to replace it after 2 years. Again, beware Frigidaire.

We purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher in February of 2015. In September, it stopped draining at the end of cycles. We called customer service. They sent a repair person who determined the drain pump was defective. Two weeks later he replaced the pump. It worked ok for a few days and then we had the same problem. Called customer service again. They sent another service who said the control board was defective and he would have to order another. Same story, two weeks later he returned and replaced the board. He said this was the only other possible cause. Again, it worked for a few days and then failed to drain.

Purchased this new dishwasher from Best Buy at the end of February. It began giving error messages in September. For awhile we could reboot it by flipping the circuit breaker, but eventually it wouldn't run at all. Just said "Error". I called Best Buy which, unbeknownst to me, does NOT stand behind their products anymore. I tried twice to get them to help us and was flatly refused. I contacted Frigidaire. 2 weeks to get an appt. 2 more weeks to get the parts he ordered, but Frigidaire had sent him the WRONG PARTS for our model. I contacted Frigidaire about this and they told me I'd have to open a new case because the other is marked "Completed to customer's satisfaction". Do NOT buy Frigidaire. They are totally messed up.

It is one month out of warranty so Mitby's told me they were not coming out for nothing even though it was a $600 dishwasher. Refused to let me talk to a service man. Very rude. Frigidaire said they would pay for part but I had to pay for service/installation costs. Never buy a Frigidaire product again and will never buy from Mitby's again. Never did wash the dishes very well and never dried them. Waste of $600.

Did not clean properly spots and white film. Had to wash dishes before placing in washer. While draining, a horrible squeal sounded during the draining process. Leak from drain caused my wooden kitchen floor to buckle. Indicator lights showed "er" and "uf" after less than two years of use.

A piece of junk from day one. Never really cleaned the dishes. I had to buy cascade platinum and a booster to get most of the dishes clean. The top rack was designed to be able to go up and down to accommodate bigger glasses on the top shelf. All good except the mechanism to move the rack up and down is made of plastic which soon broke. DO NOT BUY!!

My spray arm attachment on my Frigidaire dishwasher broke. Lowes sent a repair company to replace it. Both Lowes and the Appliance repair people told me that because the arm was essential, non-cosmetic, that Frigidaire would cover it. Well Frigidaire told me that my dishwasher doesn't need the bottom spray arm because the top spray arm still works, so it's a 'cosmetic' problem, not a functional one. They were SO rude to me over the phone, interrupted me again and again, and hung up on me. I cannot believe how disrespectful they were, and I cannot believe that in Frigidaire's mind a dishwasher doesn't need both spray arms that it comes with. We bought it on July 31. Installed it a week later, and it broke two weeks after that. My wife and I had just gotten back from our honeymoon and didn't get the call set up until September and it wasn't serviced until October. 3 months is not how long a dishwasher should last.

Worst Dishwasher I've ever purchased. Doesn't work or clean dishes at all. Bottom of unit is all melted and stops sprayer from going around. Have to wash dishes in sink. Waste of time putting them in this piece of **.

Used new Frigidaire dishwasher twice. Stopped working the third time I tried to use it. No lights, nothing. Checked circuit breaker, made sure it's properly plugged in. Called 800 number and was told soonest they could send someone 3 business days from now. I have 5 brand new Frigidaire appliances sitting in my kitchen and this is the best they can do. Asked for a supervisor. Was told one would call me back. Of course, no one has called me back and it's 6 hours later. Do yourself a favor and buy yourself a Kitchenaid.

I purchased this Frigidaire dishwasher in December 2014. In October 2015, it stopped working, no power. The appliance repair company blamed it on the control panel and ordered a new one 5 days ago. I haven't heard anything back. From day one the moment I opened the dishwasher door, it has had a horrible smell, and the very worst part of all is that the dishwasher does not get the dishes clean no matter what I use, even the recommended dishwasher & rinse products.

We bought our house in January 2015 and it came with a new Frigidaire gallery dishwasher. This dishwasher is a joke. Not once has it actually cleaned our dishes no matter what kind of detergent we try. I'm constantly hand washing and rewashing dishes after they are "washed". God forbid I miss a food particle because you can bet it will still be stuck on there when you open it. And the water spots... it's embarrassing how gross our dishes look right out of the dishwasher. I'm sick of having to hand wash everything while this piece of crap sits there. Do not recommend this brand.

Frigidaire ever again.

I've had this dishwasher (Fgid2466qf3a) less than six months and now I don't have no power. It won't start up at all, no power nothing ** you talking to.

What a piece of crap! Worse purchase ever! It just quit working in the middle of washing a load of dishes. We don't use it often and have had it for about 8 months. The control panel clicked off and won't come back on. It has no power. We're in the middle of selling our home and it breaks on us after not being old at all! We didn't purchase a warranty, why would we? It's brand new!! By reading all of the reviews this company is a piece of crap and I will NEVER PURCHASE this brand again until they make it right and replace my dishwasher!

Three months after purchase, control panel/motherboard fried. It was replaced under warranty. Front panel leaks. They told us it was our fault, over the phone, and to clean it. Now a year down the road, the motor died. Tired of hearing "Buy a warranty." How about make a product which works for more than two months. I think it is time for a class action lawsuit. I see the same consistent problems - leaking panels, motherboards frying. I am sure this is a known issue, which they are not recalling dishwashers for. Who is for it?

On March 21, 2015, my husband purchased a Frigidaire Gallery Dishwasher. On August 13, 2015, the dishwasher broke. It has yet to be repaired. It is now officially 9 weeks, and the subcontractor has been here 7 times. Parts have been changed etc. The most alarming issue that I have is that the repairman 3 repairs ago told me that this was a fire hazard. He saw sparks come out of the dishwasher after his repair. He recommended I call an electrician to be sure that there were no other electrical problems in my home. Of course I called immediately and the electrician assured me that my home and wiring were fine, but obviously the dishwasher was the cause. I called the customer service 800 number and this issue is still unresolved. I have a broken, not plugged in dishwasher and no one from the parent company Electrolux is handling this matter. Very dissatisfied with the product and the lack of attention from the corporate offices.

I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher on 03/04/2014, on 05/22/2015. The dishwasher flooded my house. I did not do an extended warranty because the Whirlpool dishwasher I had before lasted me over 15 years. I contacted customer service and was told they would look at the dishwasher if I purchased over $300.00 service warranty. The dishwasher is a little over 14 months old. All I wanted was the value I put into it which was $531.08, not give them more money for a product that did not last. When insurance sent this dishwasher to be looked at it was determined the pump went bad. Not a little part, a major one.

We have had this dishwasher less than 6 months. The control panel was fried and under warranty. However the repairman said it's because water got into it. So I asked him and the Frigidaire rep how this could happen. There is a small opening that is not covered and water will continue to get into it and the problem will continue. No advice was given and basically I was told they would not replace the dishwasher as long as it can be fixed. So I guess once the warranty runs out I will have to keep paying to fix the same problem over and over? Terrible product and terrible service. Staying away from Frigidaire products and spreading the word.

Brand new Dec 1, 2014. I have called 3 times trying to get someone to fix it. It started leaking from the front out the vents and lower door when it ran. I thought maybe the wrong soap, tried different. Nope. Thought loading was wrong. Nope. They schedule an appointment with the tech but never call YOU back to tell you they did this. Thus you have no idea of when it will be fixed. I have an old phone with an answering machine but never got calls back. Even escalated to higher departments and it still isn't fixed.

Purchased Frigidaire dishwasher model #FGID2466QF on May 10 2015 at hhgregg. Stop working on August 9th 2015, about three months later. Took 8 days for service tech to not come out and instead said he would order a new control panel. Control panels are on back ordered at Frigidaire so it will take 5 days for delivery.

We purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher in Sept. 2014 and have been dealing with leaking issues ever since. We were actually able to get the original dishwasher that we purchased replaced due to the leaking issues but now the dishwasher that they replaced it with is now leaking and we cannot get them to fix it or replace it. Both dishwashers leaked under the front door panel. They didn't leak with each use. They would only leak every 5th use or so. Not sure why but that is what happened. So, therefore when the service person would come to check on the leaking issue the dishwasher wouldn't leak so they wouldn't do anything about it.

Bought the model number - FGID2474QF28 in March 2015. The worst decision ever made. The salesman actually fooled us I think now. Having trouble with it from the very first day onwards. Never clean the dishes, always make a mess in the dishwasher at the end, it took hours to clean it. Never dries the dishes, at the end I always had to the clean the dishes and the inside of the dishwasher myself! Called the service man, did everything they said, still no use. Used FINISH products like they said. Those detergents pods never gets dissolved well, and makes a mess after the cycle. Always had to clean the dishes manually after every cycle. Serviceman says nothing wrong with the dishwasher, that's all it does! Regret not buying Whirlpool and listened to that crappy salesman at the Leon's!!

I purchased a Frigidaire Dishwasher from Lowe's in Oct 2013. One month out of warranty, the control panel failed. Frigidaire agreed to replace the panel, but it took well over a month to have the appointment for the repair. Now 6 months later the new control panel has failed. Despite the fact that there are massive numbers of consumer complaints on failed control panels for this model, Frigidaire is not standing behind their product. Very disappointing. I would recommend you avoid all Frigidaire products.

Pullout bins in freezer turned into stackable bins. Couldn't be fixed. Got some money back and got a better brand. Dishwasher always had a bad smell. Didn't use it much. 1 yr and 9 months out of warranty. Control panel dead. Would not buy another Frigidaire even for a dog house.

Purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher April 2, 2014. Control panel failed in September 2014 and was replaced under warranty. June 12 the control panel died again. Called Frigidaire customer service and was told the dishwasher was out of warranty but Frigidaire would cover the cost of the control panel to help with the cost and spent the rest of the time trying to sell a 3 year extended warranty. The offer to buy the extended warranty was declined and I requested the replacement control panel be shipped. Frigidaire said they don't ship parts to customers only to service technicians. I explained that I have my own service technician who is willing to install the part for free as it only takes a few minutes. This is not permitted according to Frigidaire customer service so the offer to supply the replacement part had changed now to require a service call to be paid by me.

In March of 2015 I purchased all new Frigidaire smudge proof appliances, spending almost $6,000.00. I am not impressed at all. Right off the bat, I had an issue with the dishwasher - it was not drying the dishes, I had to manually dry the dishes as I put them away. After several days, I knew something was wrong, so I contacted Lowe's (where I purchased them) and they made an appointment for a Frigidaire service call. The gentleman that came out to check it out was a little surprised to see there was no fan or blower located in the dishwasher which normally drys the dishes, so he contacted Frigidaire for repairs.

We just purchased a new home in the middle of March and our dishwasher with only 3 people in the house stopped cleaning last week. I ran it through over 140 minutes (energy efficient they say) and it still was completely full of crap and get this... it was after we already pre-rinsed and let the dogs lick the plates before putting them in! Talk about a major piece of junk. And not only will the BRICK, the builder or Frigidaire will stand behind their piece of garbage! Now I have to replace a two month old dishwasher out of my own pocket!

I purchased a Frigidaire Built in Dishwasher in 2001 for... wait for it... $99.00! I have no problems with it, never had. It's over 14 years old and runs like a champ!!

5 days after the one year warranty expired Frigidaire dishwasher quit. In the past never bought Frigidaire products but slipped up big on this one. Talked to Frigidaire and basically the keyboard is shot and there could be a sender issue also. Parts are about $250.00 plus there will be labor. Dishwasher is only $450.00 new. The Frigidaire rep sent most of the time telling me to buy a $190.00 extended warranty and that would take care of the problem. I think they are into selling warranty more than building decent products. Haven't decided what to do yet but will try Lowe's next as that is where I got it.

I purchased my Frigidaire Dishwasher 6 months ago. It never properly dried the dishes then just quit working. I have been without a dishwasher for 2 months. Frigidaire refuses to stand behind their product. This is how I am being treated with a warranty.

Product Information for Frigidaire Dishwasher. Model Number = LFBD2409LWOB. Serial Number = TH31598849. Purchase Date = 08/29/2014. Purchased this dishwasher from Lowes. It NEVER worked properly. It started with not draining water, water pooling, turning brown, mold growing, then replaced electronic panel, then it would not drain again and again. I kept having technician repairs, each time taking off work and losing pay. Between 7 repair visits between November to March. Lost all this time off work and money. Frigidaire told me they will not replace the appliance. I had to purchase new dishwasher. Very angry.

Failed the first time run - controls inoperative. Customer service sent a repair guy to the wrong area code! That was after ten days, so it took another week to get a local repair person to come. He replaced the door latch, which we both knew wasn't the issue. So the new control board took another week or so. That worked for less than a day, then failed again. Two weeks later they dis-installed the unit, replaced the control board again, the wiring harness, and the water valve and reinstalled it. That worked for a while, but we had recurring leaks. Those got steadily worse, and we kept calling in to get something done. Now island cabinet that holds the sink and dishwasher is falling apart as the wood swells, and Electrolux (Frigidaire) is bailing on the liability, saying some company called Medea (?) actually made it. And I still don't have a working dishwasher! Over three months and counting...

This thing is brand new. It runs for over an hour and cycles every two minutes. What sort of manufacturer, which has been in business forever, produces such substandard crap? One who has no quality control. Avoid.

I purchased the Frigidaire dishwasher Model FGHD246NF1A Serial # TH32911503 August 5, 2013 and May 2, 2015 it quit. I contacted the company, they said it was out of warranty. Neither Frigidaire nor Home Depot would stand behind this product, it is junk and so is my Frigidaire stove. Would not recommend the products.

We purchased a new home in July, 2014, the Whirlpool Professional Series were already in the house. The dishwasher worked on 1 (one) cycle only. The second week in November, 2014, this dishwasher emptied the water onto the hardwood floor in the kitchen. This was damage that will cost $75 per hour not including the new purchase of hardwood.

Dishwasher model FGID2474QF control panel went bad after 10 months. Still under warranty but part back ordered for at least 8 weeks. Have spent hours attempting to resolve with Frigidaire with no results. This is a high end dishwasher still in production and being sold. Very poor service and we are living without a dishwasher for over 2 months. Shame on me for not sticking with Whirlpool appliances.

Frigidaire Dishwasher FGHD2465NF1A was purchased in 12/2012. In Oct. 2013 the lower arm would not turn about the tub causing dishes not be cleaned, and Frigidaire was contacted. They sent a service person who diagnosed the problem as a bad motor/pump assembly but needed approval from Frigidaire's warranty dept. before being able to order the part. After a number of weeks, the service person returned with the warranty part and installed it. Now the same problem is happening in March of 2015. I contacted SocialCare@Frigidaire.com who responded that they would sell me another motor/pump assembly at 50% off ($66.38 and free shipping) and they have 2500 in stock (why 2500..they must go bad often). Well if you do the math, the motor/pump assembly on average lasts only 1 year. Yes the dishwasher looks nice but mechanically, it's junk. There is something REALLY wrong with this dishwasher. I will never buy Frigidaire again.

I didn't screw the cap on tight enough, it fell out during a wash cycle, rolled into the heating element and melted enough to no longer seal properly. For my model dishwasher, Frigidaire does NOT just sell the replacement cap, I had to buy the entire rinse unit ($30 + $10 for shipping). It arrived today, I took out the new cap and screwed it into my existing rinse unit. Anybody need a brand new replacement rinse unit without a cap?

I really hate when appliances break right on, or just after the warranty. That was the case for me, my $700 dishwasher started having issues with the on top of door controls and LED display. Repeated complaints have done nothing. I recently bought 5 major appliances and I am glad to say that none of then were Frigidaire. I will never again spend my money on their bad appliances nor will I ever recommend their brand.

Front signage on dishwasher - I wanted to suggest that, if you do not already do it, make decals with larger fonts so that we can read the titles without having to get out the magnifying glass. Also, make signage black so that they are bolder.

We remolded our kitchen in 2005-2006. Bought a DW in 05. Installed the beginning of 06. In 2013 I had loaded the DW and started before leaving for work. When I got home 9 hrs later the house smelled of melted plastic. Found it to be the inside of the DW. All of my plasticware and the silverware holder had melted. The pump was still trying to empty the water as it always did at the start of the cycle. The element was white. It was so hot. I feel fortunate that the house had not burned down. I called Frigidaire to let them know. And they referred me to another dept who referred me to someone else. No one took responsibility. No one compensated me. Will not buy from Frigidaire again.

FFBD2411NS0A - Purchased a new home that had Frigidaire appliances unfortunately. Never heard anything good about this company and now I see why. Leaked on our kitchen floor thought the cabinet and had them come out to fix since it was still in warranty. They "repaired it" and less than 2 months later it leaked again. It was now out of warranty even though it was the same leaking problem. Stupidly purchased the extended warranty and they came out and replaced the seal. All this with a few issues getting and keeping appointments with the "top notch" companies they use for the warranty. Now a month later and it doesn't work at all. No lights or anything. Worst product and customer service ever. Maybe a lawyer is in order. PLEASE DO NOT BUY Frigidaire.

Frigidaire Gallery Dishwasher - I bought this dishwasher because it looked nice and I unfortunately assumed that it would do the job. I would say that the dishwasher effectively cleaned our dishes twice. It has been crap for the 4 months since. I am not an engineer but have decided that it is just your basic horrible design. I have noticed that since there is not a disposal, that you must constantly clean the filter screen and cover often. The problem is that stuff still gets through and is sucked up through the sprayers. Most of the water holes in the dishwasher are constantly plugged with garbage and the end result is piss poor cleaning. I will be pulling this hunk of crap out soon and be replacing with a product that works. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS FRIGIDAIRE PRODUCT!!! Sincerely from a guy that never reviews products but feels irritated enough with this dishwasher that he did. : )

Purchased Frigidaire Gallery series dishwasher and installed it January 2014, used it 11 months, average four times a month and it has quit in December 2014. The light won't even come on the unit! I called Frigidaire's customer service and we set up a time for a technician to come out and troubleshoot it. He ordered the parts, in about three weeks later another technician came out with the parts and installed them on the dishwasher. He installed a keypad and a control panel. Dishwasher still did not work. The brilliant technician said the wiring was backwards and that there was a problem with the power delivery to the dishwasher and that was it, he left without any further details or attempts to further troubleshoot the unit. I attempted to operate the dishwasher with it plugged in from another power source and it still did not work. Do yourself a favor and do the research on Frigidaire products before you purchase them. I will never buy any Frigidaire products again.

Bought a Frigidaire dishwasher a year ago from Home Depot. Washing cycle was always 2 hours long. Purchased on 12/5/13. Installed 12/23/13. A few weeks before warranty expired dishwasher no longer drained. Had plumber come out and say not plumbing issue. Cleaned out drains and it seems to work. Felt it was the sensor panel not engaging. We called and they would not at first honor the installation date vs. purchase. They did extend to 12/23. Gave me three names of repairmen. Two of which had horrible reviews. Got one good guy - said frozen motor. Unfroze the motor and ran vinegar through cycle. It last two weeks and now back to no draining of dirty water. After reading all these reviews, I am not going to buy extended warranty and I am going after Home Depot for selling a crappy product. Never buy this product!

I purchased a Frigidaire gallery dishwasher in Sept. 2013... I filed my first request for service Dec. 16 2013 as the wheel attached to plastic tub was bent and the rail for the top rack kept falling out of the wheels. Frigidaire prompted me to Transworld to have a service technician come out to look at it... I had to take a day off work to be home all day. They did not come out to my house that day and instead asked what was wrong. I told them that the wheel on the tub looked broken... A few weeks later they came out again which I also had to take a day off work for. They had sent a wheel assembly for the rack... The rack was not the issue! I told them it was the wheel on the tub... So the part did not fix the problem!

Bought a new house with all matching Frigidaire refrigerator, dishwasher and oven. Dishwasher has never worked at all. Warranty people have sent 3 repairmen who have all stated it cannot be fixed but Frigidaire says they will not replace it. How can a company sell items that DO NOT WORK and not be liable to fix or replace them? The fridge makes horrible noises and the oven vents out of the top, making it completely dangerous. Even when the stove top is OFF, the surface gets over 200 degrees, just from the oven venting. They said this is "normal". We are about to throw all of these crappy appliances in the landfill and go buy new ones because they are beyond horrible. I cannot stress enough how much I would caution anyone to NEVER purchase a Frigidaire. I have been a homeowner for 20 years and purchased many appliances. I had heard bad things about Frigidaire so I had never purchased any of their units. Only stuck with these because they were installed in the house we bought already. I can attest that all the bad reviews are true. Worst customer service on planet Earth. Even the corporate office just bluntly says, "NO"... as in, "SUCKER"... we aren't replacing anything. Stay away from FRIGIDAIRE!!! And never pay for an ELECTROLUX warranty because they will not pay for anything. It is a worthless piece of paper.

I was a loyal Frigidaire customer. I have bought their Gallery series of stoves, refrigerators, and dishwashers. Our latest purchase was the Gallery Dishwasher (model #FGHD2433KB1). It will not cycle and shows an error code UO-Vent Assembly Blower. The customer service said this is a very common complaint but not common enough for a recall yet. They refused to stand behind the product. How sad! Shame on me for not buying the warranty and thinking that the product would last at least five years. This is the garbage that gets churned out when corporations focus on revenue instead of the quality of the product. DON'T BUY FRIGIDAIRE!

Frigidaire = Model # FDB956RBC1 - This washer runs for about 2 hours maybe more before completion & the dish tabs get stuck to the inside so your dishes don't get washed because the tabs won't come out of the dispenser because they get stuck in it. I usually have to run it with the same tab about 2-3 times before the door pops open to dispense the tab. Not to mention it's pretty loud!

I just moved into a new home. Dishwasher was furnished. Dishwasher leaked and damaged basement ceiling after about a week. I only wash dishes every other day. They replaced the dishwasher because of leaky hose. New dishwasher installed, I asked they test it before they put it in. This new Frigidaire dishwashers leaks around the front door. Now they tell me that you have to run it a few times and it will stop leaking. What kind of sense does this make? I am 74 years old and have had dishwashers since I was 25. I have never had a dishwasher that leaked! I have had Hotpoint dishwashers, Kenmore dishwashers, GE dishwashers and kitchen Aid dishwashers, none of which have ever leaked and when family was home, were use everyday at least 2 times and sometimes more a day. This is crap!

Finally our prayers for a functional dishwasher have been answered.. In all fairness to the repair agency, (one of only two in all of Chicagoland) would have come out over and over again. On the forth call, I asked the technician "how can he be sure the rotating devices, sprayer, pumps were working properly? We took the new approach I suggested, positioned the washing spinners, say aligned to the north..washed and opened to find the spinners still in place!

I am on my third control touch pad. Two went out under the one year factory and now a third one has failed under an extended purchased warranty. Here's the kicker: there wasn't a replacement panel ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES. I have been without one for one month now. The GALLERY IS A LEMON.

Bought this dishwasher in 2012. Had to fix it once in 2013. They sent someone from Brandsmart USA, took 2 weeks for a part to come in that had broken off and melted. He was here all of 5 min, while talking about how he was very involved in church. Dripped water all over my floor in front of me, looked at it and walked out. Sat in my driveway for 20 min longer. The handle has corroded, they wouldn't fix it but sent me one to do myself. Just had a power surge, and now the lights are blinking, even after reset, wont run full cycle. Said no longer under warranty, so I could buy the control panel, and watch a Youtube video how to replace it myself, since I don't have money to fix it at the moment. Save yourself the time, money, and mess. The warranty it comes with doesn't cover much. It just a money pit, not worth it. C.S. rep. also stated Whirlpool washers are made about the same, FYI.

The appliances were part of a new build I purchased in October of 2013. The top rack of the dishwasher is rusted and shredding away (not just discoloration). I have their extended contract (stupid I know!!!!) and I am within a year of moving in and registering the appliances. I called to get it replaced and was told that they could sell me a new rack, $40, or a repair kit . When I asked to speak to a supervisor they left me on hold for a very long time and eventually I got a person that sounded like she was in her late teens (poor thing). When I asked her why would I buy an item they obviously won't stand behind she had no answer. Eventually they offered 50% off the new rack. Was she not listening????? At the close of a very testy phone call she thanked me for being a "valued Frigidaire customer". I went ballistic, where is my value?

Bought the Frigidaire gallery edition: fridge, stove, micro, dishwasher. After two yrs gasket had gone bad in dishwasher door, water leaked onto floor and I between flooring which bubbled up the planks and ruined our floor called Frigidaire customer service. She said sorry but warranty has expired. Had appliance contractor come out to fix. He says that these gaskets are junk and go bad all the time on this dishwasher, and Frigidaire is going downhill with their quality and to expect this gasket to be replaced a couple more times during the life of the dw. Had to make claim with insurer for floor repair which will probably make my rates increase and still have to buy new dishwasher. It has always had weird smell that has seemed to linger onto our dishes. Looks good from the outside.

Used the dishwasher twice and both times the water did not drain out fully. The second time it overflowed into my basement. What a mess.

Right after the year warranty was up... the dishwasher completely stopped working. $200 for repairs. Will never purchase from Frigidaire again!!

We purchased a new Frigidaire dishwasher 5-2-14 and almost immediately began having trouble. We have found that their "service Person" has less training than my pet rock. His exact quote after waiting 2 weeks for a part was "if this doesn't work we'll start throwing parts at it." Well it didn't work and we are still waiting for "parts." We contact Frigidaire appliances and in short they said too bad. Neither company will refund our purchase price and we have owned this lemon four months and the latest time out of service is six weeks.

We bought Frigidaire Professional Dishwasher FPID2495 from Costco for $800+, believing their pick of appliances or any other sales are scrutinized and should be reliable. This dishwasher is made by Electrolux in Italy, which were first concerned signs. It turned out to be a lemon. The water pressure thru spraying arms wasn't strong enough, and dishes on the top rack were still dirty and wet after the finish cycle . We tried different dishwasher detergent with no better results. The only sign of washing was a green light that appeared at the end of cycle, pointed to the floor. Didn't like the inside top door control panel which many new dishwashers now support. After one month of frustration, we returned dishwasher to Costco. It wasn't easy decision as we paid additional $150 for installation. However, if it doesn't work well at the beginning what to expect later?

I purchased 2 Frigidaire Orbit Spray Dishwashers model number FGHD2465NF in 2013. They both required different major and expensive repairs a couple months after the 1 year manufacturer's warranty expiration date. The first dishwasher ($577.95, SS color) was installed in March 2013 in a primary residence home, 2 problems had occurred by May 2013, also 2 months after the warranty expired. The first is a loud squeaky noise when opening and closing the door. When investigated, the plastic part had cracked, used to hold the wire that controlled the door opening. The second problem was the lower blade had completely broken off. I paid for the wiper blade assembly replacement at a cost of $260.00 to a local repairman.

We bought a new Frigidaire Dishwasher (model FDB520RHS2) at Best Buy on November of 2010. Within the first 7 months we had THREE service calls and TWO washer motor assemblies replaced. The unit has failed AGAIN and is less than 4 years old! (Our previous Whirlpool lasted 20 years before the baskets rusted and replacements were too expensive, but the Whirlpool RAN!!) I called Frigidaire corp office to complain that this is obvious a LEMON due to the SAME failure now 3 times and they just brushed me off essentially saying "Tough Luck," should have bought an extended service plan! What kind of Chit does this company make that it can't even last 4 or 5 years! But after reading many of these other postings, I realized that mine isn't a lemon, EVERYTHING Frigidaire makes is CRAP and a Lemon! I'd warn you as a consumer, DON'T EVER BUY ANY Frigidaire product no matter how attractive the price!

Worked phenomenal for about a week then...**. My parents dishwasher lasted over 20 years. I'm getting the same ** of problem. People have been getting since this Gallery ** hit the market. How the ** is this piece of ** still on the ** shelf. "Best Buy" just lost a customer for life. I've spent thousands in that store - NEVER again. ** you people.

Model No FPHD2491KFO - I bought this dishwasher in April 2012 and the top rack is rusting. Contacted Frigidaire and they said I could get 10% off a repair kit or a new rack. What is the point of buying a new rack if they are made poorly and will rust? I paid $629.00 and feel ripped off!! I should not have to repair a 2-year-old dishwasher. I had my old dishwasher for about 20 years and had no problems with the racks rusting. BEWARE OF FRIGIDAIRE!!!

My family and I moved into a new modular home in October 2012. The kitchen had Frigidaire appliances. The refrigerator and the range were the Gallery models. The dishwasher was nothing special. It didn't even have a rinse and hold cycle. It never washed well and had mildew build up even though I used it everyday. Then, I started getting strips of paper that looked liked wet paper towels coming out of the holes in the spray arms. It didn't happen all the time, but enough to be upsetting. Then last weekend, I went to empty the washer and the dishes were dirty and the soap dispenser hadn't opened. I tried to run it again, but nothing happened. I called a repairman who checked it out and found that there were a lot of paper towels under the screen that acts as a floor of the tub. They must have been there from the time the machine was put together. The motor, pump, and controls would have had to be replaced at a cost of $528. I'm going to buy a new machine, but definitely never a Frigidaire, or any other made by Electrolux. I'm not sure I can even find one of those.

My Frigidaire dishwasher is loud and leaks. I have gotten it fixed twice and still same problem. I will never buy Frigidaire products again.

I bought the Gallery model and have been very dissatisfied with the way my dishes are cleaned; often needing to run some things multiple times in order to get it to be clean. I do run my dishwasher once a day, however, one would expect to have the soap dispenser actually open when the dishes are being washed. This could be a large part of my problem with the dishes not coming out clean. Last night, I smelled a very plastic smell coming from the dishwasher. My husband did not smell it, but I have a nose for these things and quickly go up to check on it and make sure nothing was touching the heating element. I didn't see anything so I closed the door and let it continue to "dry" my dishes (it never really did a good job at drying anything).

LFBD2409LM0B - We purchased all new Frigidaire items last year for the kitchen. Prior to warranty expiration the control module went out on the dishwasher. Instead of having to take a day vacation for repair diagnostics and a day vacation for repair, I opted to replace the control module myself. Everything was great until this week. The new control module is not functioning. It's only 3 months old. This is the second control module in less than 2 years. I did write an email to Frigidaire and received no response. I suppose I'll keep the old one in hopes that Frigidaire will request it and solve their and my dilemma!

Wrote to Frigidaire corp. with my complaint and did not hear from them! I have a seldom used dishwasher and the power strip stopped working. Could not use dishwasher. It cost $285 to repair. Bought 4 yrs ago and use once a week for 6 mos(part time home).

Purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher assuming they had a good name and was a better quality dishwasher. After it was installed, it leaked from the time it was bought. The service tech that came out wanted to replace the dishwasher because the tub was cracked. He had never seen one cracked like that and felt there was a serious problem. Frigidaire made him replace the tub. It's been less than a year again and it's leaking again. The tub has cracks down both sides from the front to the back. We called Frigidaire and it's out of warranty now. The dishwasher was not right from the factory and should have been replaced the first time. Frigidaire builds cheap junk and doesn't stand behind their products at all. Don't be confused with the name Frigidaire and quality products.

Frigidaire Gallery series kitchen alliances are CRAP!!! I've replaced my "dependable" Kenmore refrigerator, oven/range, dishwasher, microwave with Frigidaire. Within a year I've had to replace microprocessor boards on the refrigerator and dishwasher. Can't wait for the oven/range to surprise me with yet another failure. My wife convinced me to buy this crap based on looks alone. NEVER AGAIN!!! Don't buy this **. You'll be sorry.

I have had my Frigidaire Gallery Dishwasher (FGHD2433KF1) for almost 2 years now & am on my 4th purchase of the splash shield kit. This is simply poor design. The lower rack rolls over and over on half of this so-called shield and just like anything, it eventually gives. So I called Frigidaire and to no surprise, they are clueless and there are no recalls for such a minor complaint. I am very disappointed they have not come to a conclusion to repair this recurring issue. I don't believe that I should have to babysit this shield so it does not ruin my floors.

I have a Frigidaire Dishwasher and I've had it two months. And in that two months, it has not cleaned my dishes well. I've cleaned it twice and still every time I have bowls and glasses in it they have this grit on them when done washing. I've scrubbed the grit off and rewashed it and there was new grit.

We bought all new appliances less than 14 months ago. First, we had problems with the Frigidaire refrigerator. When the repair person came out for the second time, he told me, "You get what you pay for." Good Grief, we paid $1800 for that refrigerator, and it was last year's model on sale. Now the keypad is not working on our Frigidaire dishwasher. I tried to order replacement parts and to expedite shipping to the west coast. After spending over an hour on the phone with their customer service department yesterday and over an hour today only to be put on hold forever when I finally hung up, I was not successful as they told me only the vendor can order parts when the appliances are under warranty.

Dishwasher less than 2years old - not working. Called company, was told over 1year old out of warranty. However because less than 2 years old would not pay for labor (they send repairman and maybe no parts needed so no cost to your company) but would pay parts. Also asked if we bought extended warranty. So here is my complaint. For what we pay they should last more than 2 years and they should stand by product and WHY should we have to pay extra for an extended warranty? Why not stand by your product? Would not purchase another one of your products. Very unhappy.

We have had a Frigidaire dishwasher for a little bit over a year. It just stated leaking from the bottom. Don't know why yet. The upper rack is terrible and keeps breaking. I guess I should have bought the maintenance contract. I have had many dishwashers that have lasted 10 years plus without problems. I don't know if it is this brand or if all appliances now are just not made well. Pretty disappointing.

They were not concerned only out there to sell their product. Dishwasher has had issues for a while. My last dishwasher lasted twelve years. This one did not even last 3. Dishwasher rack is already rusted out. Never will I buy another Frigidaire product and hopefully the word will get out that their product does not hold up.

This dishwasher is used only once or twice a week and was only 3 years old when the pump quit working. The technician found that the problem was the "O" ring somehow got caught in the pump impeller. So all we needed was the "O" ring/gasket! The technician said that Frigidaire had not supplied the "O" ring and that the complete pump assembly had to be replaced. This repair was an outrageous $272.17! I wrote a letter to the the manufacturer and the service company complaining that a low cost "O" ring should be a standard part carried. I got a response from neither!!! Frigidaire is off my future purchase list.

Was advised by visa it was covered under extended year warranty from VISA. Tried to collect after 13 months of very light use and was advised it is considered a "built in" unit so it would not be covered! Way to go VISA, way to go Frigidaire. After 13 months, with a 1 year warranty, it will probably cost more than a throw away. Please avoid Frigidaire Gallery. VERY POOR QUALITY!

Purchased this dishwasher at Sears because it was rated the quietest dishwasher in its class. Replaced it out within two months with a brand-new same make and model dishwasher. The reason for this is it was noisy, did not wash dishes very well, leaked water onto the floor. I would say the first 6 to 8 washes were very quiet. After which, it became extremely loud from the water pump. The second replacement unit was a exact same way. If you want a dishwasher that screaming loud and doesn't wash dishes very well, this is the model for you. Thank goodness this has a timer so I can wash dishes late at night while I'm sleeping. Will grin and bear it until I remodel my kitchen. Frigidaire will be last on my list.

Purchase my house in March 2013 with all new Frigidaire appliances. The refrigerator broke within one month, spoiling several hundred dollars in food. It took a week for a repair guy to show up and diagnose a bad control board and damper, then another week to return with the parts and fix. Within a few days it was making strange growling sounds, but whatever. Now the dishwasher! The thing has never dried the dishes since day one. Half the time the soap dispenser doesn't open, and we have to rerun it again. Last night we are running it and it begins making a strange noise, so my wife presses the cancel button and opens it to take a look. Now the POS won't start, completely dead. Checked the breaker, its fine. What gives? Frigidaire is crap.

In 2009 I purchased the Frigidaire Gallery series of appliances. Since then I've replaced 3 shelves in the Refrigerator ($55 each) and had 2 dishwasher repairs that didn't fix it. The dishwasher runs forever and mold grows within a month of cleaning all over the inside of the dishwasher. It is absolutely the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. When you pull the parts out at the bottom of the washer they are caked in mold. Nobody can fix it so out it goes. I've previously had success with Maytag dishwashers. So am going to get one with good reviews.

Bought this expensive stainless steel model in 2008....never cleaned properly. Glasses come out filmy. HO flashes...even though our hot water can burn your skin! PC Richard no help...nor the company! Now my Frigidaire microwave is acting up! Stay with Maytag... We had one for years without problems...

My dishwasher came with my new house. Works fine but stinks from the first day. My dishes are always rinsed before going into the washer. After washing if you don't take your dishes out within a day, when you open the washer, it stinks worse than a wet dog! The washer never truly dries your dishes and if you don't open the washer to air out, you will get mold growing on your dishes within a day or two. Never had a dishwasher that did this. This is the 3rd washer I've had during my life. I will never buy a Frigidaire if given a choice.

KEEP AWAY!!! This washer didn't clean or dry dishes from day one. I used this dishwasher every day for 6 months up to twice a day! Called HHGREGG and complained about the performance and water leakage problems. Their reply was to wait it out and call Frigidaire with service issues! Story goes like this ---- Called HHGREGG 11-04-2013 they gave me Frigidaire customer service. Their expert gave me 3 repair dealers in my area. I called the first on the list - very nice and scheduled for the next day! He came out and advised the tub of the washer was warped (causing the gasket to keep falling out i.e water leak). Splash shield was missing and the pump motor was faulty (noisy can be heard from Mars it's so loud). He gave me a file number and he told me to call Frigidaire 800#.

I am a renter and recently contacted my landlord about a leak in our basement ceiling that seemed to be coming from directly underneath our dishwasher. Upon pulling the water damaged ceiling out and running the dishwasher, we determined the leak was from the dishwasher but not from any connections or gaskets... The heating element had burned a hole through the tub of the dishwasher... Thank goodness we were home when the leak began and thank goodness it didn't catch fire.

I supposed, based on the other reviews here, that we should consider ourselves lucky. We purchased our dishwasher in 2005. It gets used maybe once a week or so. It's not been the best dishwasher, but no significant problems until last weekend when I put the detergent packs in and tried to start it..........nothing. Touchpad didn't register anything. I thought it was a breaker issue. But after my husband checked the breaker box and found it to be in order he went about inspecting the dishwasher. The unit is getting power, all parts are connected, but the touchpad will not work. Since it's nearly 9 years old and based upon these other reviews, it seems we should cut our losses and buy a new one, not made by Frigidaire.

I have purchased an entire house of Frigidaire appliances and every single one of them have broken numerous times. I think they should be put out of business for the crap products they sell and complete lack of care when called about it.

Purchased this Frigidaire dishwasher model DGHD2433KF as part of a package in 2010. The range, microwave and stove seem to have held up, but the dishwasher has been disappointing. After one day of use, we were awakened after midnight and discovered the dishwasher had leaked and ruined the ceiling and light fixtures of our downstairs neighbor. PC Richard responded immediately and a technician ran the machine and discovered the unit was leaking from the tub/motor assembly. He was about to order parts when I insisted they deliver a new unit. A week later, it was installed. While this one didn't leak, it made this awful grinding noise, sometimes intermittently and sometimes for the entire one hour cycle. The repairman came twice, but each time couldn't replicate the noise, so we just decided to live with it. Now, after three years, the unit grinds incessantly and leaked, ruining the base cabinets and toe kicks. Since I bought the five-year warranty, the repairman will be back in a few days. I'm not optimistic and I've just grown tired of this poorly made appliance.

I bought a DGBD2432KW1A Frigidaire 24' built-in dishwasher and I have had it for one year and have had to have it repaired 5 times. The gasket keeps falling off and spitting water on the floor. We had to replace the floors from the flooding. Sometimes it made horrible noises while it was running. When I took the dishes out, sometimes they had to be washed again because they were not clean. 5 people who like to eat, buy a dishwasher and spend hard-earned cash and it is not working more than it is. It is definitely a lemon!!!! Frigidaire does not make good products or stand behind their products. Do not buy from them. The customer service is horrible. I asked to speak to the supervisor many times and was never allowed to. A new appliance was bought in good faith expecting it to last for many years. Not 3 months! A definite waste of money.

We had our kitchen remodeled through Lowe's and bought a Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher. It worked well for 2 years, but recently we've noticed a burning plastic smell and it really groans when in use.

We bought a Frigidaire dishwasher three years ago. After several repairs today it gave me another error code. We paid almost a thousand dollars for this top of the line model. Today I’m going to remove it and throw it away. I feel very ripped off by Frigidaire as they could care less.

I wanted a dishwasher with a stainless steel front at a good price. My son found a Frigidaire Gallery at what seemed to be a good price and we bought it in 2010. I was leery about the name Frigidaire but I thought the Gallery line had to be better. Wrong-wrong-wrong. We bought model number FGBD2432KF in January/February 2010 from Sears and had it installed in November 2010 when the rest of the kitchen was done. Other brands had free installation so by the time we paid for the dishwasher and installation it was not a bargain.

As part of a new construction project, I paid for an upgraded kitchen appliance package from the builder, which included a Frigidaire Dishwasher (FDB1050REB) which did not last 2 years. The motor burned out - this appliance did not get normal use. It's just the two of us, and we have another home that we live in 6 months out of the year. Frigidaire did offer a concession but we still had to pay money out of pocket since I (obviously) didn't want the same model. We opted for the Frigidaire Gallery FGHD2433KF, an allegedly higher end model. In August 2011, again with the same squeaking noise. Another repair for motor issues. Now, I can't use the dishwasher. Horrible, grinding, squealing noise. Have to take the dog outside because she was going crazy during the cycle.

Dishwasher failed after 2 years. Repairman says "not worth repairing". I'll say! After reading these reviews, I surmise that it would have likely caught on fire eventually. The problem with this unit was a cracked tub. I ask you, did you ever hear of a dishwasher that has a cracked tub after 2 years of use? Oh, and "one year limited warranty" isn't worth anything, apparently, as per the other reviews, if I had reported this problem within one year. I would have gotten the run-around anyway. What's the use? Are there any good quality American-made products out there? If so, I'll buy them!

I purchased it new from Lowe's in Feb. 2012 along with Frigidaire refrigerator. First time loading, I discovered poor design and spacing of racks. It was not like my old Maytag. Also, I noticed periods where motor/pump seemed to have trouble starting. It would take 8-10 tries before draining water and, of course, the ineffectiveness at cleaning. I called a repair guy out while still under warranty. He "assured" me that all was normal and changing my soap compound would fix my problem. BS! I tried his suggestion for 5 months. I still have to prewash anything you want clean. At this point, I'm ready to replace it. I sure wasted my money on this deal. And fyi, the refrigerator is noisy - very noisy. But at least it does its primary function.

Fridigaire Dishwasher model FDB520RHB2A - It's a piece of junk! Do not buy! Do not buy! We bought this from Lowe's in Jan. 2012 for a home we purchased. We only could afford so much and bought other items in the same line to match. While it was an affordable model, the repairman was out within 6 months replacing a seal and the sprayer. He came out again for a similar problem with the sprayer later. Now, out of warranty and we are in April 2013. That's 15 total months since purchase and the thing is not draining. My husband is a mechanic and tried his hand at repair of this, and so far nothing makes sense. It is not clogged. The pump seemed operational when tested.

I was unloading my Frigidaire dishwasher when a loud gunshot sound and a terrible pain on the left side of my face occurred. My cheek was bleeding and my head was aching. After I got composed, I saw the spring on my table. Somehow it broke and flew out the door. Now I have to ease the door down and make sure it is completely shut or it will fall open. Needless to say, I was hurt and terrified. Can anything be done? Please.

I have a Frigidare Dishwasher Model # FDB520RHB2A. Here is the problem in a nutshell. The heating element melted while touching the tub. As we usually turn it on the 3-hour delay timer so it would wash at night, when I discovered hot steaming water all over my kitchen floor. Since we carry the Master Protection Coverage on all our appliances, I called Sears December the 26th 2012. The service man came out and said, “You’re lucky!” Lucky? I thought (really) so I inquired what he meant by that statement. He then stated that we could have had a fire or could have even gotten electrocuted. He contacted Technical Support, which I found out is standard operating procedure. They ordered all the parts to put the unit back together. By the way, the tub is plastic. As of 2/15/2013, the unit still has not been fixed, but we are scheduled for Saturday 2/16/2013.

We bought these appliances in the middle of 2005, but they were not installed until July 2007 because of medical problems. Since then (shortly after installation), each one of these have had problems numerous times. The control panel has gone out twice on the dishwasher. The stove has only two burners that work, the refrigerator has ice maker issues, and the dryer kept tearing up my bras (getting caught on the seal) and the washing machine has had several issues too. I emailed Frigidaire about my problems and their response was, "I am sorry you are having so much trouble with our products." I will never buy anything with Frigidaire or anything associated with Frigidaire, and I have told everyone I know about the problems we have had and I will continue to do so. It's down right ridiculous. It won't do any good to get an attorney!

I had a fire in my kitchen last summer & had to replace the dishwasher, range & microwave. I bought the Frigidaire Professional series package including a dishwasher, range & microwave - all stainless steel. The dishwasher is a nightmare. The control panel had to be replaced, the silverware basket is broken, the silverware falls right through and the pump had to be replaced. I bought this appliance in 9/22/2011, and this all happened at the first year mark. The pump was replaced at no charge, but the rest I had to pay for.

We have had this dishwasher for about 5 years (model # FDB956RBC1), and we were experiencing water gushing out the bottom. We thought it might be a bad seal and called a repairperson to take a look. He started the dishwasher and saw the water coming out almost immediately. He looked inside and saw that the heating element had burned a hole through the bottom. I have no idea how the element could have worked its way to the bottom of the dishwasher, and when I tried to straighten it up, it actually took some strength to pull it up. I scoured the internet to see if anything had been reported about this problem and noticed the complaint above this one. Needless to say, we had to purchase a new dishwasher this morning.

Frigidaire FDB 1000 dishwasher melting - From this dishwasher's first use, it had the smell of plastic burning. The heating element sags down and melts the plastic housing. I have many times lifted it up, but it always winds up sagging again. Yesterday, the dishwasher began leaking. I found it had melted a hole through itself. Mind you, this is just to heat the water. We never use the heat to dry cycle as that seemed a waste of power, but if we had, it would have been a fire instead of a leak.

I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher in December 2009, a model FDB1050RES. It's not even 3 years old and looks like new. I had a technician come to fix the problems, and was told that he needs to replace the motor and the sump pump - $250 to fix it. My other dishwasher, a Maytag, was over 15 years old. There should be regulations that it should last at least 10 years. I will not buy another Frigidaire appliance.

Our Frigidaire dishwasher (Model: FDBB2840EC1) was purchased in June 2006 and it was sold to us by a Best Buy salesman as one of the most reliable brands to buy. Well, almost years to the day, the pump has crapped out. Its usage has been once a day at most (365 x 6 = 2,190). So if you are considering to buy a Frigidaire dishwasher and you feel that you should only get 2,190 uses from the appliance, then buy it.

Dishwasher Model FGHD2433KB1 - I bought this because it had a 'top rack only' wash feature; put it in the bar for glassware, it's run twice a week! After less than a year later, the DW would begin washing and then jump to 99+ minutes, and run all day long. Customer service tried to tell me my water wasn't hot enough; it's set on 140*, scalding hot. The serviceman came out, the motherboard was bad. Frigidaire sent one after much screaming, $200+ for repairs. It's been another 8 months and the DW has gone bad again. The only cycle that works properly is the rinse/hold. My intention is to buy another dishwasher and you can bet your boots it will not be a Frigidaire.

Approximately 3-4 years ago, I purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher at the personal rave reviews of a sales person at Lowe’s. I was replacing a 10 year old Whirlpool dishwasher. In the first week we realized that we could not use our garbage disposal (which was new also) without backup into the dishwasher. So, we learned to live without the garbage disposal. Yesterday the unit started making a loud grinding noise so I called for a Frigidaire service person to inspect the unit. I was informed that the wash motor was burned out and needed replacing at a cost of $250.00 including labor. I think that this is a piece of junk and will never buy anything remotely associated with Frigidaire again.

In two years of light use with two people in the house, the gasket came off the dishwasher and was lying in the dishwasher. After looking at the other complaints on this site, I will tell everyone to avoid Frigidaire products. What a mess and it will cost $100 at least. Other dishwashers last much longer and have better product support if something goes wrong. Is it the company or did I get a lemon?

I received a letter from the Claims Specialist from the Liability Claims Department, Account reference ** about a fire that started in my dishwasher control panel with only the door closed, no cycle engaged. It damaged my counter top, filled the house with thick, dark gray smoke of burning plastic and metal which I can still smell a month later, and of course, burned the dishwasher beyond any salvation. I expect to hear from the Insurance Department by May 5. If I don't, a consumer complaint with the state will be filed, and a warning letter to not purchase a Frigidaire dishwasher in the local newspaper, circulation 220,000.

I purchased a Frigidaire Dishwasher on 2009. Now, I am in need of a third time repair. First repair was under original warranty and then two repairs with extended warranty. The dishwasher is a poor quality appliance. This time, it is the pump. It is so loud you need to leave the house. Before that, it was a spray arm that broke twice and there was also an issue with the door securing shut. Customer service is awful. Does filing a complaint with the BBB do any good? It is only my husband and I so the dishwasher is not overly used. It is the most expensive dishwasher I have purchased and it is awful.

We spent over $10k to replace our kitchen appliances in 2008. Our dishwasher was not installed until 2009, since we were out of the States and didn't need it yet. This "Professional Series" dishwasher was the most expensive we have ever purchased and the worst cleaning dishwasher I have ever owned.

I have a Frigidaire dishwasher (FDBB944CSO). I have replaced the pump 2 times now and the same thing happens, four lights start flashing. So I did some research and found this model has a lot of problems, even fire hazard. I called one 1-800 number, only to be told to call another 1-800-944-9044, only to call yet another number to get someone breathing (1-706-860-4110). So after jumping through the hoops, I asked the rep what was going on and also, if I needed to be worried about it catching fire? She put me on hold for 30 minutes. She got back on the phone and told me, "So everything is running fine?" I told her, "No, I told you it wasn't working and that I replaced the motor in it 2 times now and it did it again, and if there was a recall on it". That's when she said if I tried to cut the power off and back on. I told her yes, I tried that. Then, she asked me if I want the numbers to service reps near my area.

We bought a Model # FDB1050REQ2 dishwasher less than two years ago. I loaded the dishwasher and went to the living room to watch television with my family. We heard a loud pop and then another loud pop. I ran into the kitchen to investigate and after a few seconds of looking around, heard a third pop and there were sparks shooting out of the bottom of the dishwasher on the right side.

I have a dishwasher that is 14 months old and have already replaced the spray arm and lower spray arm. Now, the dishwasher during its cycle, trips my circuit breaker. Customer service basically said I was on my own. Do not buy this product model # TH04270136. I personally would steer away from any Frigidaire appliance.

I have a dishwasher that is 14 months old and the board went out blinking error code. I called and they said to disconnect from power and reconnect it. It didn't work. I tried it multiple times and no success. They said it was out of warranty by 2 months. They need to recall this unit because I have read about the same problem with other peoples' dishwashers. A dishwasher should last at least 6 to 8 years and this one last just out of warranty. What a piece of junk!

I purchased a Professional Series Frigidaire Dishwasher (Part #FPHD2491KF0) on March 15, 2011. The utensil basket broke, and Frigidaire sent me a white one that doesn't quite fit right, instead of the gray one that would. Evidently, they stopped making the correct part, and they cannot get me the correct part. They will not even contact their distributor network, to see if anyone has one in stock they can send me. This product is less then a year old, and they cannot even make it right!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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