Frigidaire Microwaves Reviews

Curtis handles all of their repairs and will find a way not to cover the item. On top of that they are so unreliable. They need repairs. Told me to take a one month old microwave and fix it myself. What a trash company.

I purchased a microwave and gas stove in December 2023. I received the microwave on 1.4.2024. It does not work. The fan components are broken. I have 2 techs out, the first one didn't even open the microwave. The second company came out and ordered the part. It is on back order with no ETA. Called Frigidaire and am getting the runaround. They will not help at all! He suggested a new tech. I don't need a new tech. I need my microwave fixed! I've called to speak with a manager and continually get hung up on. I am beyond frustrated and someone needs to make this right!

$1,200 microwave started on fire. Still waiting over 2 months for warranty service. Glass shattered, interior burned. 2 weeks ago I was told as a courtesy they would replace the glass by a manager. The manager's decision was overridden and the glass was not ordered and warranty service for the fire still not complete. Every call results in an hour of my life being taken away from me. What's worse is I am being inundated with ads from Frigidaire by phone, text and email requesting me to purchase the extended warranty!

I owned a microwave for 10 months and the handle began to peel. I called and the customer ser rep was very rude. She said they will not replace the handle because I do not have an account with Frigidaire as if their products are not sold by 3rd parties. She muted my call for over 30 minutes and refused to transfer me to a supervisor. I would never buy another Frigidaire product.

After owning this microwave for 22 months the handle fell off. Frigidaire, of course, said warranty was only for a year. We've owned microwaves for 40 years and never had a handle fall off even the ones that came with previously owned homes. All they offered was 20% discount on $149.00 part - it was cheaper online. There's no way a handle should fall off a product that old - we hardly even use it.

We purchased a Frigidaire Gallery microwave from Home Depot in October 2020. By June 2022, it completely stopped working! It only worked for 18 months; meanwhile I've purchased cheap Walmart microwaves that lasted forever. I called Frigidaire and was told I had to pay $100 for a tech to come out. After waiting over a week, the service day finally came. The day of my service, they TEXTED me to say it had been rescheduled for 2 weeks later!! Of course I called Electrolux to let them know this was unacceptable. Their suggestion was for ME to call THEIR servicer to see if he could come sooner, then call them back & let them know. I reminded her that I'm a PAYING customer and I will NOT hunt down their servicer!! She said she'll call me back if she can get an earlier appointment but don't expect it. I'm livid that we've updated our entire kitchen with Frigidair'es subpar products & subpar customer service. Beware...

Microwave continues to blow a fuse. Have replaced the fuse 3 times in the last 7 days. I have contacted Frigidaire twice and they just tell me that it is out of warranty. The name of the company they recommend that I call for repairs has 1 star and horrible reviews. I believe there is a bigger issue with the microwave if the fuse continually blows. I purchased this microwave based on Consumer Report recommendations. There are only 2 people in the house, so the microwave gets very little use. I would not recommend any Frigidaire microwaves and I believe Frigidaire needs to address consumer concerns more seriously.

We bought this microwave from Lowe’s on May 29, 2021. It took 5 weeks and a half weeks to deliver because they kept sending damaged ones. They finally installed the microwave on July 8th. But by the end of September we started noticing a strong burning smell coming from the microwave. I called and was given an appointment that never showed up.

Model # FPMO209RFA built Feb 2016, parts began breaking down very early. Display light went out within a year with no way to replace. The door latch will not release door. I have to push release and pull door to open. Never again will I buy this brand.

The price was good and it lasted without severe issues for two years. After the two year mark it started taking long and longer to heat the simplest things. It started with heating a pizza with the reheat button (30 secs) and now it takes a minute or more. If you’re in a bind and need a cheap microwave that looks sleek and fancy this is your go to, but if you want long lasting go somewhere else.

We purchased a complete kitchen suite of the Frigidaire Professional Series appliances in 2016. Overall we’ve loved them. This week the over the oven microwave failed. Upon inspection the failure is a horrible design flaw. The wiring harness passes through a section of plastic, and because the edges of the plastic were not made smooth it eventually cut through the harness covering and two wires. Based on the repair sites I reviewed online the microwave is virtually irreparable. A new door assembly costs as much as a complete new microwave (over $600). Also, the steel at the left bottom corner of the door frame, where the hinge goes into the body, was engineered too thin, and it has broken as well. Between this and a poorly engineered Frigidaire Professional Series toaster oven design flaw that led to the electrical board literally melting, the next time I buy kitchen appliances it won’t be Frigidaire, or any other related brands.

I purchased an over the range convection microwave in 2018. After 2 years it stopped working. It would trip my breaker when opening the door and cause sparks when unplugging the unit. After many calls and emails they replaced the unit. Now 9 months later the same thing is happening. I’m reading many other people with this issue so stay clear of Frigidaire microwaves. I have since contacted Frigidaire and they say they will not fix or replace. Seems like a high end appliance should last more than 9 months. Buyer beware of Frigidaire!

Wall Oven purchased new on Feb. 13, 2021; delivered on Feb. 24 and installed on Feb. 26, 2021 by a professional installer. The microwave door is opened by a push button. There was a 8-10 second delay after pushing the button before the door opened. The problem was noted to the seller (Home Depot) who notified the manufacturer under the standard one year warranty. After two different repair agencies have addressed the problem and replaced the microwave door opening system, there is still a delay although it is now 3-4 seconds. I have discussed this problem directly (by phone) with Frigidaire service representative who promised me a complete satisfaction. The representative promised to call me with a possible replacement of the microwave unit but has never called back. It is now May 27, 2021 and the problem remains unresolved.

We purchased the over the range Gallery microwave and within a month the handle started to melt. I called Frigidaire and informed them of this and they said that it did not affect the working of the microwave and that would not replace it. It has now been a year and it has gotten worse. It not only looks terrible but it feels awful when opening and closing the door. It sad since otherwise I like the microwave.

Every time we open the door to the microwave to check on the food we are heating, the circuit breaker trips. It took a few times before I looked into the problem and found reviews on your website and Best Buy that indicated others were having the same problem. We have had the microwave for about 2 years. It is just the two of us that use it. It was a higher end model that we purchased but we are very disappointed. Our microwave that we replaced was over 10 years old.

Have a wall oven and microwave that has required numerous repairs in now does not work at all and has been checked by a representative of the company and has it determined that it is unrepairable and that’s been over 2 1/2 weeks ago and they still have not decided what They are going to do.

Very happy with our purchase about a year ago. Easy to use. Installation went well. Easy to clean. Built-in light for over the stove is nice. Seems to heat evenly. Has good presets for quick heating.

Performs great at defrosting & cooking. Turntable works smoothly. Heats evenly. Perfect size for under counter, but looks good enough to be out in the open. Surfaces clean easily with a damp cloth. Changing power levels is quick & easy. There are only two features of this microwave that I find annoying (& both have easy fixes). One, when the time is up, it beeps loudly for several seconds & repeats over & over...even after you open the door. You can disable this. The second is, if you hesitate when pushing the numbers for the cooking time, it will set the time for what you have entered & start. So know what time you want to set before hitting any numbers!

After about 14 years of great service our beloved Microwave for which we love to reheat leftovers and cook popcorn has died. It for the last 2 year has been showing its age as the front window has been cracking and the handle broke so that only the top was holding on. But we will be buying another Frigidaire Microwave.

Long lasting, no problem, lives up to the brand name. Digital product with several options to choose from. Stainless steel with no water or fingerprints. Auto magic time when food has completed cycle. I would highly recommend this microwave because it has met the manufacturer and mine expectations thoroughly.

On our Frigidaire microwave the micro switches continue to be a problem. It seems that short out and cause the circuit breaker to trip and you can not reset breaker as it continues to trip. We have had our microwave serviced 3 times for same issue, therefore we strongly recommend you purchase an extended warranty. Without the warranty, maintenance cost would exorbitant.

I don't feel very confident with it. Must get too hot a lot because it turns off a lot midstream and need to restart it. Hard to keep turntable on correctly to turn. Doesn't seem that strong. I would buy another brand next time.

It has been okay, don't seem to get as hot as expected, and I don't like the buzzer that goes off letting you know when the cook time has finished. Some of the functions for setting defrost times, etc are confusing.

I was a little disappointed. The appliance broke down in a very short time period. It took me over two months for my Home Warranty to get the parts to get it repaired. I had Jenn Air before. Lasted for over 12 years.

It is just the right size. The buttons are large and can be viewed without glasses. It has features that allow for a variety of ways to heat or cook. It is easy to clean inside and out. We would recommend!

2 year old Frigidaire Gallery Microwave (model FGMV176NTDB) trips circuit breaker. Started with a blown fuse, which I replace ($18 for a $2 fuse... price gouging on parts). That got it to turn on, but as soon as we push "start" it trips the circuit breaker. Repairman came yesterday (had to take a full day off work). He replaced the central door switch. Tried to use it this morning and it tripped circuit breaker again as soon as you push "start". If you Google "Frigidaire microwave trips circuit breaker" you will find many posts about this problem. 2 years old and it's going to go in the landfill.

While I love the performance and features of my Frigidaire Over-The-Range microwave, today the "Filter" light came on for the first time. So I opened up the panel covering the filter - and it wasn't there. It is supposed to come with a filter. So I called customer support and asked for my filter. Since I purchased the microwave in my camper 2.5 years ago, they refused to do anything but give me a 15% discount on what they described as a "replacement." They aren't replacing anything and refused to stand behind their manufacturing mistake. I had no reason to suspect it wouldn't be there until the filter light reminded me to replace it. They should have sent me the filter free of charge. I don't think that is unreasonable. They do not stand behind their products. Floritza was not very understanding on the phone - no empathy, no real apology. Either one might have dampened my frustration enough not to write this.

We had the microwave come with our manufactured home in October, 2018. It died yesterday. So we got 2 years and 1 month. No warranty, but as soon as my husband goes back to work we will buy another brand! My son replaced the blown fuse in it but it blew it out again. I will never buy this brand again. Be careful if you buy one, start a saving account so you can buy a new one in 2 years.

Have had Frigidaire over the stove Microwave for 1.5 years and keep having problems with door sensors telling microwave to trip breaker. Not under warranty so had to call out repair service. They determined it was a door sensor that was broken and replaced it. Worked for a few weeks and now for the last 2 months, I keep my fingers crossed that when I go to use microwave it will not trip the breaker. Sometimes it only takes one trip to the garage to restore breaker and sometimes 2 or 3 times. Frigidaire takes no responsibility for a clear design problem. Door has always been hard to open. Had a GE for 14 years that still worked perfectly when I moved. I would not recommend any Frigidaire product to anyone. Don't want to call out repair again because they will just charge me more money. Would rather buy cheap counter top unit then keep using my over the range Frigidaire microwave.

Model FFCE1439LW. Mfr date 10/17. Purchased 2/1/18 because 1) 25 yo Kenmore finally died 2) you can’t live w/o a microwave. Drove 20 miles each way just to buy this bc it’s white—didn’t want to buy all new appliances bc white isn’t the ‘in’ color anymore. Only white microwave available anywhere, and 10 days wait even on Amazon Prime. This has not performed at all since day one. It’s control panel is very picky—if you don’t mash the start button hard enough, it will start countdown but no actual cooking is happening. It needs to get smacked in order to run.

Bought two of the same brand same style microwave for over the range within a 9 year period. First gallery microwave died the first year. The second one broke today. the door latch just stopped working in the middle of a reheat. I will not buy Frigidaire again. It has been a waste of my money. The range that came with the set is also junk. the door never has completely shut and you can see the steam escape above the door. The refrigerator always pops since day one. Wish I never bought any of these products.

I purchased Frigidaire's 4 piece kitchen appliance set and within 1.5 years, I've attached operating issues with 2 products. Noticing issues with basically new appliances, I purchased the extended warranties. I contacted Frigidaire in April about the microwave cutting off during the cooking time. They sent a technician from Fast Appliance located in my area and to date, the technician has been to my home 6 times for the same issue. During this pandemic, this is not acceptable. Going back and forth between Frigidaire and the repair appliance company is something no consumer should have to deal with after paying for the appliance and the warranty.

Just bought house at Kent Ranch. House came with Frigidaire Gallery appliances installed by the builder contractor, combination microwave and oven is the worst thing we ever had, the microwave did not even last a year, we only use it once or twice a week with a max 2 min heating, when suddenly stop working and lost power.. Made in CHINA.

Model no: CGMV176NTF. DO NOT buy the Frigidaire Gallery microwave. Ours was purchased in Oct. 2018 and died in May 2020...just 1.5 years after purchasing it. After YouTube and Google research, it sounds like a faulty door switch. We opened the microwave door and the microwave made a popping noise, and the lights in kitchen flickered. Our house has upgraded 200 amp service so it's not our electrical. It's been a month now, and the supposed 'repair kit' isn't in yet. Why does a microwave that was only used for 1.5 years have its own repair kit? It hasn't even been inspected by a technician yet. There needs to be a recall.

My Frigidaire over range microwave (Gallery series) purchased/registered in Aug 2019 suddenly began ‘arcing’ making it unusable. It has one yr warranty that’s fast approaching. I had SAME model for 21 yrs until it died of OLD AGE! I go to website for 800# (“due to C-19 our phone lines temp not in service- BUT go to our website for ALL your needs”). On website it directs you to go to the ‘CHAT BUTTON’ if you cannot find your answer ONLY there is NO such BUTTON. But after several minutes of navigating for BUTTON & with NO obvious alternate contact tools (other than multiple messages to call 800# if product under warranty (same out-of-service #), I ACCIDENTALLY tabbed to end of site that had an EMAIL contact with message: “And if you have the time to contact us by email -see button below.” (there was a button!)

Bought Frigidaire counter microwave and soon after I got it paint inside started cracking. Smokes and burning smell. Afraid to use. Would not recommend or do not intend to buy anymore Frigidaire products. At least $200.00 down the drain and I am a senior on a fixed income. I had a better experience with a $25 yard sale microwave.

This Frigidaire Microwave came with a house we bought. We use it maybe 3-5 times a week. Built in July 2016, Model LFMV164QFA. I closed the door one day and saw a spark and flash and now the thing is dead. From reading other reviews this seems to be a known door switch problem. I have NEVER had a microwave stop working! After 15 years, my old one is still going strong! Very disappointed! I thought Frigidaire was a quality company. I am now worried about my Frigidaire stove (which has been rapidly cycling on and off once at temperature) and Frigidaire refrigerator....

Have used this microwave for about 28 months. I take care of my stuff. I don't use it too much or anything. Google the term 'Frigidaire microwaves' and you will read 'fuse going out,' 'it trips my circuit breaker,' and something with the door latch feature, all 3 issues causing this to not work. Yep. Just after the 1 year warranty or around the 2 year mark, such as mine. You will feel mistaken for a fool, robbed blind of your money, as they do not stand behind their product. Just called customer services/warranty and all they can do is recommend a repair person. Repair person told me it will cost $200 or more so best to just replace it. Will never buy Frigidaire again. Model No. FFMV1645TS

Bought $5000 worth of Frigidaire (Electrolux) appliances. Fridge compressor failed, just barely covered under 12-month warranty. Then I spilled a bowl of soup in the microwave, which is mounted above the oven. This caused the oven to fail because it dribbled onto circuit board which is not protected. The Tech said it was not covered because it was my fault for spilling a bowl of soup. He did fix it though, (2 weeks from the end of the 12-month warranty) and acted like he was doing me a big favor. You spill something, it will cost you $500 after the 12 warranty runs out. This is a glaring, irresponsible design flaw.

This Microwave needs to be recalled. It blows fuses and the 20 amp circuit in my home. Frigidaire will do nothing to help you out. They offer 20% off on parts. The service tech told me, "Throw it out. It's not worth it". They told me to change my circuit breaker to a larger one. I won't be surprised if someone's house doesn't burn down. Mine is a little over two years old. Model # FGMV175qfa. I wrote a letter to the Federal Trade Commission. Hope others will do the same.
