Frigidaire Dishwashers Reviews

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I bought a dishwasher highly rated with Consumer Report and worked (not great) but dealt with it for over a year. Mechanically, it wouldn't register to recognize any cleaning modes. ironically a year and a month later, after we purchased it, paid over $200 to have the whole front panel/mechanical stuff done with someone that is authorized per your company. Still, it never worked properly but I worked with it and it finally didn't work and had to jump hoops to get you to authorize new service.

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

My dishwasher (Model #: fdb4315lfc2) has never really cleaned well but I dealt with it. Now, my dishwasher won't complete cycles. It goes after a little bit right to error code then freezes up. No buttons work and I can't even shut it off. I had to shut the circuit breaker just to to shut it off. But when I tried it again, the same thing happened.

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

I just had a new dishwasher installed in my apartment. At the bottom of the dishwasher, the door panel ends sharply and there is a gap with a tube and holes just behind it. This would not have been an issue and I would have never known about it until my son got his foot stuck in there crawling by it and cut open the back of his ankle. 8 month old son needed 5 stitches to the back of his ankle right when he was learning to walk.

We bought a Frigidaire Dishwasher in October 2009 (MODEL FDB1100RHM2 SN TH93689501). On April 25, 2010, I contacted Electrolux Home Products Inc / Electrolux Canada Corp. that the dishwasher had burned a hole though the bottom of the dishwasher. They sent me a letter stating that I should contact my insurance company and file a claim with them. In return, my insurance company would work with them to get my deductable back. There is a snag with my insurance company covering this damage. So I informed Electrolux Home Products Inc / Electrolux Canada Corp. and they told me that it would take four to six weeks before anyone could authorize the repairs for my home that is not safe to use. So I asked for the insurance information and they refused to give it to me and now it may take longer for someone to contact me on the damaged caused by the dishwasher. The damage caused is estimated to be around $15,000.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We purchased a Frigidaire dishwasher model #PLD437RFC on 11/17/07. In two years time, we have had the unit serviced at least six times. I have spent countless hours on the phone each time for service repair. I contacted Frigidaire and their response was, "Sorry, there's nothing we can do but offer a rebate towards a purchase of a new dishwasher." I really feel that this unit is condemned and should be recalled! My experience with them has been a nightmare and I will never buy another Frigidaire product again!

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

We purchased a Frigidaire (Model: FRS3R5EMB) dishwasher on November 5, 2008. On December 10, 2009, a month after the one-year warranty expired, the dishwasher just stopped working as if it has no power. But there is definitely a little over 110v AC going to the dishwasher's AC input. Upon calling Frigidaire, I was told that there is nothing they can do since the warranty is expired. I got almost exactly 13 months out of that dishwasher and now, I need to buy a new one. Frigidaire does not stand behind their product and it's no wonder why - their products are built to last one year.

My wife and I purchased a number of appliances including a Frigidaire dishwasher from Best Buy on November 6, 2008. As a result of delays in our kitchen renovation project, we were not able to install these appliances until the first week of March of 2009. After the dishwasher was installed, I noticed water on the floor along side of the dishwasher. At first glance, I thought the unit was leaking while running; however, a closer look revealed that there was a substantial amount of water condensing on the bottom of our countertop just above the dishwasher. This was then dripping onto the floor. After more investigations, I saw that when running the unit does not propel the air away from the dishwasher during its wash cycle, it drifts up alone each side and creates this condensation.

I bought a Frigidaire Dishwasher (Model#GLD2445RFCO) from ABC Warehouse in Southgate, MI on 10/26/07. The dishwasher worked fine until about 4/10/09 (one and a half years!), and then stopped cleaning our dishes. The heating element works fine, which is quite evident from the "cooked on" food which is now all over our entire dish set. I have had RSI Appliance Service of Livonia, MI out on 3 separate occasions to fix this unit. They have replaced the wash pump assembly, heating element, tub seal, and splash guard without success. When the repairperson was out the last time to fix it, he told my wife there is nothing else left to fix, and that the next step is to replace the entire unit. However, RSI sent the final work order to Frigidaire saying that the unit was fixed, and that there is nothing wrong with the unit. It still does not clean dishes. RSI told me that I must contact Frigidaire again, but Frigidaire is telling me I must contact RSI.

The dishwasher (Frigidaire dishwasher Model FDB510LCS3 Serial TH72930443) leaks. The water pours out of the bottom. A reputable appliance repairman said that he has never seen a design like the one in this Frigidaire. The area in question is engineered with a clip to seal it in place instead of a threaded system or screws. It's the area between the bottom of the dishwasher and the pump. The repairman can not stop the leak. We need a new system to replace this odd ineffective design or a new dishwasher.

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

We bought this dishwasher less than two months ago and now the hidden touch pad is going haywire. I have looked on the Web for recalls and I'm beginning to believe this dishwashers touch pad is very defective since I've read about so many of these touch pads on the dishwasher having to be replaced. It’s just my level of emotional stress of having to call the company and given the run-around, plus paying a lot of money for such a piece of junk.

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

I'm upset as Johnathan from ID. I have the same problem. Our dishwasher does not clean like it's supposed to. I get dirty, grimy, sandy like dishes! Even the spinning element fell off onto the heating rod making a small burnt hole on the spinning element.

We purchased a Frigidaire built-in dishwasher in June of 2006. And now the bearings are going out in it and it makes an awful high pitch sound when operating. And of course the warranty is no longer good. Very DISAPPOINTED. I talked to a repair shop and he told me I am better off spending my money on a new one instead of paying him to fix it, but not a FRIGIDAIRE product.

Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher caught on fire! We normally do not think anything of starting the dishwasher before we leave the house or before we go to bed. Never again! Luckily, we were home, awake and in the kitchen when there was a loud pop followed by smoke and flames in the control panel. It took a few blasts from our fire extinguisher into the vent panel on the door to put out the flames. I am sure that had we not been home, our house would have burned down and our three wonderful dogs would have perished. Shame on Frigidaire for building a product like this!

In January of 2008, we bought a Frigidaire dishwasher from Lowes of South Parkersburg, WV. (Ref. #**given to me by Electrolux - The unit is under warranty). After a couple of months, I started experiencing problems with the panel board. In March of 2008, I spoke to a rep from Electrolux - they didn't know what was wrong. At times, I had to turn the power off to clear it. In August 2008, the panel board wasn't working properly and at times it would not work at all. I called Electrolux and they suggested a tech. come over to look into it. While he was here I asked if the dishwasher could be leaking (from time to time I noticed water on the floor). He investigated the unit and it was leaking. He came back again to add splashers on the sides of the dishwasher (apparently there is a problem with this model), this did not solve the problem. I called Electrolux again. They said I had to get another tech. to look at it. Another tech. did, he tried to fix the problem (twice).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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