Frigidaire Dishwashers Reviews

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.
