Frigidaire Dishwashers Reviews

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.
