Frigidaire Microwaves Reviews

Had the unit since Dec. 2015. Magnetron broke. Two weeks to fix and two days off work. March 2016 (3 months old), the convection fan stopped working. Another day off work and parts ordered on April 7th. After 5 weeks, I was just informed that the parts won't be in until June 7th. 3 months!! They will not replace the unit because they said it is repairable. If it's repairable, it's not covered to replace it. Customer Service hung up on me when I asked for a supervisor. Never, never again will I buy a Frigidaire. I have to say though, I am glad I purchased it at Lowe's. I called the store manager and they are replacing it free. Always buy from a big store that cares.

Frigidaire needs to go back to the drawing board to fix cheap plastic on their microwave door handle. Have had nothing but trouble with the door handle and now the whole door plastic is breaking apart.

I purchased a countertop microwave oven and 7 months later sparks flew out of it. I called the Frigidaire company because the oven had a 1 year warranty and I was told that they have a buy back option. I had to jump thru hoops to get this option which takes many weeks and still I am inconvenienced of being without a microwave. Usually I do my homework before making any purchase but I did not this time and I am paying for it. I had to send a certified letter and the serial number from the back of the microwave at $7 and then I received a letter saying I needed to send another serial number tag from the microwave oven. I will never purchase any Frigidaire product ever and I will not recommend a Frigidaire product to anyone.

In September 2013, we bought a Frigidaire Professional Microwave. In December, it started making a grinding sound. It ends up that the entire unit had to be replaced. When the unit finally showed up, several weeks later, it started grinding again. They told us that it was the magnetron. They came out again, replaced the magnetron, and by then it was February of 2014.

The handle on the over range microwave is hollow metal. While cooking on the stove the handle heated to scalding temp and I burned my hand grabbing the microwave handle to open the door. Frigidaire sent their company to inspect. They measured.. the distances between the two units.. the largest kettle the smallest and the one being used at the time. They tested the auto fan also. EVERY measurement was correct.. and all the vent did was make the handle even hotter drawing more heat towards it. The handle was as it was.. scalding hot.

In Dec 2013, I purchased a Frigidaire Gallery over the Range Microwave (Model# FGMV205KF) had it for approximately 14 months when it started making loud noises and sparking. Since the unit was out of warranty and I had not purchased an extended warranty I called several local repair companies, all of them told me it would be cheaper to replace the unit than to try to have unit serviced. In April 2015 I purchased a new microwave (same model# FGMV205KF) from HOME DEPOT and by Sept 2015 it was making the same noise and sparking as well. This model is still under the original 1 year warranty and I did purchase an extended warranty as well.

We purchased our Frigidaire microwave a little over three years ago. Within two years the door handle started cracking and shortly thereafter it came off from the door. We called Frigidaire for a replacement. They would not admit to any defective parts on this microwave model, however they did send a new door to our appliance dealer. We paid $144 to install the new door. It took the repairman 30 minutes to install the new door, so my guess is the cost of the microwave door was included in that bill. Thinking this problem might happen again, I purchased their warranty. Two weeks ago the our door developed a crack and when I spoke to Frigidaire they said the break was, "cosmetic and we only cover functional parts of the microwave." Poor quality product, poor customer service.

My Frigidaire micro oven is not sturdily made on the inside and was impossible to know prior to buying. The revolving glass plate constantly falls off and is extremely difficult to put back on. It wobbles during use and Frigidaire is non-responsive as it is with all of the kitchen appliances that I purchased together last year.

My Frigidare Professional microwave over the cooktop type, has functioned flawlessly for 9 years now. I've had no problems at all and it cooks well for a microwave.

I have owned several microwaves mostly opting for the models that go over the stove with a vent fan. The only problem is when you move you have to leave it and then replace it at next stop. For many years the GE was the only model that offered this feature so we owned several of them. We purchased the Frigidaire microwave as it matched our stove (handle) and could go over the stove. It has served the purpose but I would neither recommend it or not recommend it. Features are useless and difficult to figure out. The outside seems hard to clean and always looks smeared. Other than that it is ok and better any counter model.

We bought this over the range unit some years ago & it has always performed to complete satisfaction. The only thing on it that I don't like is the way the clock feature works. If there is a power failure, it must be reset in order for the microwave to operate, & the procedure for this is a little troublesome. Other than that one thing, I would highly recommend it. Never had any problems with it in the many years we've owned it.

It was a gift. If I had been purchasing it, it probably would not have been this brand. Some of the plastic parts have broken around the panels, requiring that I glue them back. It works and looks okay.

Our microwave was brand new when we bought our house in May of 2014. The seller chose all Frigidaire appliances, but opted for the low to mid-level models which was fine with me because they all came with the house. The ONLY thing I don't like about my microwave is that when the timer goes off, you cannot stop the beeping no matter what you try to do. It just beeps and beeps and beeps until it eventually stops on its own. No one likes a microwave beep they can't control. If I'm trying to reheat a slice of pizza late at night, and I don't stop the microwave before time's up, I might wake someone up! However, the microwave looks nice (it's stainless steel and black) and works like a charm and we've had no problems with it at all, so I have no problem recommending it to a friend.

Frigidaire microwave rusted at door seal and in my opinion made it unsafe within two/three years. It took two minutes to warm a cup of coffee. Seemed like it was losing power at the end. Replaced with Panasonic and pleased.

It works great. It has all the features I need or want. If any negative, it is how every fingerprint shows on key pad and door. I like the power settings. I like both time and weight defrost.

This microwave for above our stove, looked nice and matched our stove. It functioned well (purchased at Sears) until the spring broke that holds the door shut. Sears came out to fix. He said it really needs a new now, because the plastic broke when the spring attached. It was going to take a long time to get the part. I contacted the manufacturer and explained what a defect that this was, and that I would need a new door. A representative called me and said, yes they would replace and for me to email the details along with my bill. Well I did all that and kept emailing and calling them, at least ten times, and finally gave up because they were so rude as they would not even reply. Would never buy their product again, and in fact I did not. I have a nice Panasonic microwave now.

For a new appliance, it has had to have the element replaced two times. The first time… exactly 1 week after purchased. No extended warranty. Thankfully, warranty intact.

Just purchased the microwave and so far, it's been great. I'm concerned about the panel and handle because they end up breaking but I'm hoping this Frigidaire Gallery will hold its own.

109 years after Frigidaire introduced the first electric refrigerator, it still can't hire competent engineers to design lasting parts. That is why the company, ever obsessed with cost cutting, designed a cheap, small, inadequate plastic connector to hold the spring--which holds the door lever--which clamps the microwave door closed. When the little fella breaks off, and why wouldn't it, you have to replace the entire door. Cost of door? $152. Incompetent designers and managers.

We will NEVER buy anything Frigidaire ever again. Our dishwasher needed to be repaired by a technician twice in the first year or two and the microwave died before we even gave away our old one. Pitiful... less than a year and they both broke.

We purchased 6 new Frigidaire appliances in 2012 and all but 1 has had some type of service. To date we have had 3 magnetrons replaced in the microwave and now needs another. The first 2 were covered under warranty and we paid for one. We've had so much trouble with the microwave we purchased an extended warranty and now they are so cheap they can't find a servicing dealer to repair it for what they are willing to pay. We have been without the microwave for 2 weeks. Poor quality appliances, poor customer service and a terrible extended warranty service program.

I bought a frigidaire microwave and it lasted about 14 months. I paid for it by visa so I did get an extra years warranty. I then insisted on getting a GE microwave which lasted for about 2 years. Pretty much identical to the Frigidaire. I think I can find a better way to spend 400.00 every couple of years.

I purchased a Frigidaire oven/range (model FPGF3081KFP) and microwave (Model FPMV189KFA) in September 2009. By February 2014, the "control panel" on oven/range began to malfunction. By March 2014, the "control panel"on the microwave also failed. After multiple failed attempts at repair, both the oven/range and microwave were replaced in April 2014, thanks to the "extended service protection agreement" I'd purchased from P.C. Richards. Once the appliances were replaced, I decided to purchase the extended warranty directly from Frigidaire/Electrolux… What a mistake!

Remodeled our kitchen and replace the appliances with Frigidaire gallery appliances. The over the range microwave stopped working after 1 1/2 years. It started making a horrible sound and would not heat. Frigidaire said they would honor the warranty but after waiting for a part for over 4 months (which Frigidaire says is "normal") we decided to submit a claim through our extended warranty from American Express. What a disappointment Frigidaire... Both the quality of your products and your customer service.

We have a Frigidaire gallery microwave that incinerates the food dead center. We have had someone come out twice and troubleshoot it with Frigidaire and they say that it works normal. We had a Frigidaire gallery that was 11 years old and worked well. I do not recommend this product if Frigidaire will not stand behind it.

We did a complete kitchen remodel Aug. 2015. I removed 45 year old, yes I said 45 year old refrigerator, range top, built in oven, and dishwasher. They were Westinghouse brand. They were all still working fine. Nothing had ever been done to the fridge and my sister is using it today. Now I have Frigidaire Gallery line. The ice maker clogs at least once a day. The refrigerator sounds like a motorcycle running through its gears while drag racing, dishwasher cleans poorly and now the microwave has stopped working. Less than a year old! I should have stuck with my harvest gold line. Dissatisfied with Frigidaire.

I purchased an over the range microwave gmv174fc for a new home. Everything seems to work except no heat. Their non customer service dept. will not respond to my e-mails. Their phone number is connected only to an answering machine that puts you on hold indefinitely. I have a feeling their employees are all in Mexico.

I purchased the whole line and have had problems with each appliance. The microwave just died after 3 yrs. The refrigerator shelves plastics disintegrated or cracked. The oven double glass does not allow you to clean it properly and had repair on the dishwasher twice. At this point I can't wait for them to totally fail, so I can purchase new again and never purchase Frigidaire ever. Tired of dealing with Customer Service, it cost money every time you call to replace broken shelves and it aggravates me to have to buy replacements when their product was not up to par for family living. Whatever happen to appliances that last more than 10-15 years? Disappointed!!

After approximately 2 years of very little use since I am a senior and live alone, the bottom of handle started falling apart piece by piece. After checking closer the top of the handle was crumbling also. After checking closer, I noticed that the door had numerous cracks by the handle also. When calling Frigidaire customer service, they were extreme rude, nasty and unhelpful. Told me it would cost me more than purchase price to fix it. Neighbor bought another brand and 3 years later it stopped working and they said she "had one free service call." Replaced circuit board free. Would not recommend Frigidaire to a goat, let alone a human. Extremely poorly and very cheaply constructed, shoddy product.

We purchased microwave (serial #9G00303494) Model # FPMV189KFB in 2010. Since that time we had to replace three magnetroms as well as the front panel. Can you provide any assistance?

So, I purchased all new Frigidaire Gallery appliances for my kitchen 3 years ago and my microwave will no longer heat! I found at this point that I made the wrong decision to buy Frigidaire. Thank goodness my old Kenmore microwave (20 years old) still works. I've put in a service call with a local appliance repair business. However, I will never buy this brand again!! This company brand is deceiving when promising they are good machines..

I'm having trouble with the very poor quality of Frigidaire products. All my current appliances in my house are unfortunately from Frigidaire (fridge, dishwasher, oven, and microwave). I had issues with every single one of them from the very beginning! This week my Frigidaire microwave model #FFMV162LMA died on me. This is the second time I'm replacing this same model microwave. I called the 800-456-4669 to see what they can do for me and they were not very helpful. They wanted me to buy an extended 2 year warranty for $144 to fix the microwave. This microwave was $200 brand new. For me, paying $144 to purchase a warranty to support a poorly made product is not the answer. If this microwave was made properly to begin with, I wouldn't have to spend money to fix it in the first place.

Purchased Frigidaire Microwave from Lowe's in Fayetteville NC. Year and half into use of microwave, the overhead light burnt out. Tried to remove bulb for replacement part purchase. Bulb separated from the base because glue on bulb holder.

FPM0209KFA - This is my second Frigidaire microwave since moving into my new house 7 years ago. First one quit running after one year. Since I have the trim kit, I bought another one. The door switch has been replaced three times. Would not recommend Frigidaire to my worst enemy.

When building our home, I selected Frigidaire Gallery built in microwave. For the most part it has done everything I need, however from the beginning I noticed some corrosion on the interior and did not give it much thought. Over time the corrosion has worsened and rust has appeared and it keeps getting worse. I will have to replace soon, but not with another Frigidaire product. This is the only microwave I've experienced problems with.

$700+ Professional Series Microwave FPMV189KFC - I bought this microwave at Lowes. Expensive but I needed it to complete my Professional Series set (Fridge, Dishwasher, Range). It's not even two years old yet and it broke. Repair said the Megatron was not working and want replacing without a Transformer, Nearly $500 to repair.

Frigidaire Microwave (Electrolux Model FGM0205KFA) worked fine for 5 years. Before this incident, I would have given a 4-star review. However, this morning, while preparing breakfast, flames were started out of the vent inside the microwave. Based on the results from the other reviews on this site, I won't bother trying to get it repaired or replaced out-of-warranty. But I will avoid any Frigidaire products in the future.

We purchased a 2014 Newmar Bay Star in June 2014. Before we could even take possession of the RV, we were informed of the recall on our Frigidaire Microwave/Oven Model #CFMV152CLBA SN# KG31700644. We are having problems again. Sometimes it has a mind of its own and I just unplug to try to reset it. Preheating- Set for 400', dings that it is ready but the temperature is actually 200'. After an hour of cooking, it will get to 350'. Microwave seems to function at about half of the rated wattage of 900. Time to get repaired I thought. We called 1-800-944-9044. This automated system gave us 1-706-860-4110 for live Customer Assistance. It rang, went silent and then nothing.

We purchased Model# FPBM189KFC last January. Within 1 week, the entire panel went out, we returned the unit to the store and they gave us another unit. In October, it started making strange noises and smelled like burning. We called the repair center and they replaced the Magnetron (and broke the louver at the same time) Now 3 days after manufacturer's warranty ends, the same thing happens, so we call for the extended warranty (which we purchased for $120). They came out right away but it took the warranty company 3 weeks to decide it would cost them too much to repair so they looked online and found a price which they are refunding to me. I called Frigidaire and they said there were no recalls, however, they did not say there were no complaints. I paid $329 for this unit and feel I was cheated by Frigidaire. Run away.

Frigidaire Microwave MWV150KWA: Prior to 1 year of ownership, the magnetron needed replacement (Sears replaced the magnetron at no cost). After 1 year of ownership, the electronic keyboard malfunctioned; could not microwave anything. Naturally, the Frigidaire customer service agent said, "It is no longer under the 1 year warranty." Therefore, it will be $75 for a repair person to come out and determine the problem. Then it will be extra for parts. Hence, that is $239 down the drain!

I purchased and installed a model FFMV162LWA microwave. It is new and it has a mind of its own, just as I've read many others to have experienced. The control panel doesn't react as it should (at times completely locked and unresponsive) and the unit turns itself on whenever it wants so I've been forced to keep it unplugged to prevent fire. It is a completely unsafe device which I'm forced to replace.

The microwave starts randomly and all on its own. Usually runs for 2:59, and repeats every couple of hours. We have to keep it unplugged or it may catch on fire and burn the trailer down.. It's installed in a 2013 Keystone Montana 3725RL that has been used less than 3 months. Keystone seems to not have any knowledge of a recall on this unit.

We purchased all Frigidaire professional series appliance 3 years ago this past September. As of today we have been through 4 ice makers in the french door refrigerator, 2 under warranty and 2 paid by us. Now the microwave made a bunch of noise and stopped working. Service guy quoted 398.00 to fix. Had them take it out and will be replacing it with something other than this brand. Very disappointed in what we thought were high end appliances. Will not buy again or recommend to anyone.

We furnished our new kitchen with Frigidaire convection oven, Dishwasher, Range top, and microwave. After only 10 weeks of use, our $300 microwave caught a potato wrapped in a paper towel on FIRE. It even melted off the Serial # Sticker on the inside of the microwave. Almost two months later and they still haven't replaced or repaired it. First it was because it didn't have a serial number sticker in it! Since then it's been one excuse or delay after another. I replaced it with a $180 GE microwave that I should have bought in the first place. The dishwasher broke right away (washer blade melted). They replaced it promptly. Now the drier element is burned out. It's been 3 weeks since repairman was here. No progress on that now.

We have a Frigidaire over the counter microwave Model # FFMV162LBA that is just over a year old. It has become "possessed" turning on by itself. Beeping on and off at intermittent times as well as being inoperable while the screen is still lit. The buttons do not work anymore. After reading other people's complaints it appears that we are also out of luck. The company will do nothing and it will cost more than the unit is worth to fix it. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FRIGIDAIRE PRODUCT AGAIN.

As a potential customer you are told one thing. As the owner of a product you are told something else. On 11-13-2014, I called 706-860-4110 inquiring as to what I could expect as a future customer. I asked them, if a component failure resulted in damage to the product a "meltdown", is the product replaced, or only the part that malfunctioned that caused the damage? After being put on hold for a short time, I was told that if the product was under warranty, the product would be replaced... "Ok, let me make sure I understand. Not just the part that failed will be replaced, the entire product will be replaced." "Yes Sir, the entire product will be replaced within one year."

Bought Frigidaire microwave oven two and a half years ago. It started making a loud growling noise and quit working. Expect products to last longer than this. Do not buy this product. Do not buy anything from Frigidaire.

Microwave On Button Doesn't Respond - I go to tap on my Frigidaire microwave and it doesn't want to click on. It is not a year old.

We have all Frigidaire appliances, which came with our brand new factory build home less than two years ago. Just days after the 12 month warranty ended, the handle on the Frigidaire Microwave, model #FFMV162LBA, broke at the bottom. Less than two years into owning this piece of crap, the entire handle has broken off and the microwave is unusable. I called customer service at Frigidaire and after being placed on hold for several minutes, I was told that there was nothing that could be done. The cost of a new handle is $93 and the door is $169. To buy this piece of crap new will cost $269, which of course I will never do because I will never buy a Frigidaire product again and I will make sure to tell everyone I know the same thing.

Nov. 2013 - Acquired a new motorhome that included a Frigidaire over-the-range convection microwave oven Model CFMV152CLB, S/N KG31108885, built in March 2013. August 2014 - Microwave started itself a couple of times. We were present and able to shut it down. The next evening the unit was completely dead; no lights and key pad not responding. September 2014 - Frigidaire arranges to have repairs made by local authorized service company. They had to bring a second tech to remove the oven from the wall. (I had to pay for the tech.) They replaced a door switch, checked that the oven heated and reinstalled on the wall.

Model #FFMV162LS - Has anyone had any problem with this model microwave? The child lock system popped up on the screen on its own and none of the controls on the control panel unlocks it!! The manual is not even correct to fix the problem either!

Don't buy this fire hazard!! This microwave was new to my home when I moved in. After 18 months, it would not shut off unless the door was opened: That is, whenever the door was closed, the microwave would run spontaneously and continuously until the door was opened! Thank goodness we were home when this first happened (and started running by itself!), or it might have started a fire. Because it was out of warranty, Frigidaire customer service was a joke: They told me that I would have to pay someone $150 just to come out to verify the problem (which my handyman told me was probably a door switch - so the entire door would need replacing); and then I would have to pay for all additional parts and labor after that. Forget it: I ditched the dangerous piece of garbage and bought a Samsung. P.S. I had a similar experience with the Frigidaire gas range: The glass oven door spontaneously shattered while it sat idle one evening. Again, because it was out of warranty, customer service was completely unconcerned with the safety hazard. Run far away from Frigidaire.

Bought a Frigidaire microwave/convection (built in), 9/25/2013, model FGMV154CLF. 8/14 the door frame cracked & handle detached from the door. Called service & they replace door. We checked the unit, now leaks microwaves. This is harmful to all living things. Called service, no one at Frigidaire knows what to do. 3 services firms later, still waiting. We asked, "why is the quality so bad," answer was "they don't make them like they used to." We are not going to buy them anymore.

1.1 cu ft 1100-Watt Countertop FRIGIDAIRE FFCM1134LS Microwave - Purchased in August 2012 - installed in March 2014 (waiting on project completion of mini-kitchen). Woke up on August 20, 2014 to the microwave running by itself, hot to the touch and would not reset!! Called Frigidaire and was told that model was built with a bad control panel! Too bad, so sad - dangerous appliance! Electrolux owns Frigidaire. Beware!

Frigidaire FGMV174KF - I bought at exactly 3 years ago all Gallery appliances from Frigidaire at HHGregg - Oven, Refrigerator, dishwasher and Microwave oven stainless steel. My over the range microwave just stopped working. I have called the company Frigidaire customer relation and they said that there is nothing they can do about it. It is not fair because I do not have money to buy a new one neither to pay parts and labor. It is only three years old and it is suppose to last longer. It was the worst customer service ever. Ms. **, the customer care supervisor, did not even tried to help me. I have two kids and one is a little baby and I do need to use the microwave all the time. Now I am really concerned about the other appliances because I do not know how long they will last... Please do not buy this brand. It's not worth it...

Two weeks after purchase, my microwave is mocking me by constantly saying "Enjoy your stove", but will not do anything. This happened on the weekend and Frigidaire's customer service does not operate outside banker's hours so I waited the whole weekend to call on Monday and was simply given a number to call for a authorized repairman. I have now left a message with the service company and need to wait again as they only work until 4:00. I will update the post when further information is available.

Frigidaire over the stove microwave model # FFMV152CLBA - Purchased this unit from a local appliance center near us. Door handle cracked and broke at bottom of door. Purchased a warranty from company but they did not cover the handle! After some pleading the company agreed to replace handle part for free. I installed it myself. Now a year later the replacement handle has also broken just like the first handle did///just poor quality. After reading numerous complaints online, I'm seeing the complete picture here. CHEAP CHINESE MADE CRAP! Think I'll make a copy out of AMERICAN hickory and paint it black! That will last at least another 100 years. So disappointed in Frigidaire.

Bought Frigidaire microwave, oven, refrig & dishwasher in September of 2011 (2 years, 10 months ago). In that span each appliance had to be serviced for repairs. Ice maker went on fridge - needed replaced. Oven heating element had to be replaced because it burned out. Dishwasher electrical panel had to be replaced because it was malfunctioning. And now microwave won't shut off unless door is left open; and when door is closed, it is in constant run mode and electrical burning smell emits from unit. Hard to even consider Frigidaire products ever again.

Had kitchen remodeled. Bought all new FRIGIDAIRE appliances, including a built in microwave. After 14 months of service, there were sparks and the smell of electrical burning. The microwave was completely dead. Called an electrician who stated that the outlet was fine, the problem was with the microwave. I am concerned for myself & others who may be harmed by a fire.

We furnished our remodeled kitchen with Frigidaire appliances. What a mistake!! Within two years, hundreds of dollars in replacement parts and service. My microwave has been down for 6 weeks. Three trips from appliance repair and different parts still has not repaired it. Frigidaire said you have to have 3 different breakdowns in 1 year to qualify for replacement. Crappy quality and crappy service!!

We purchased our microwave February of 2013 and the microwave stopped heating things 18 May 2014. The company said that they wouldn't do anything about it because the warranty expired May 1, 2014. I can say without reservation that Frigidaire had lost any and all business from my household and I will be sure to spread the word on how absolutely deplorable Frigidaire truly is in it's business and products.

I purchased this over the stove Microwave Model # FFMV164LS IN 12/18/10. We only use it very lightly over the few years. Now its making a humming noise like it's running when the door is closed and the unit is suppose to be off ! I call this company and they just told to call a repair company! I thought this was a good company and that they would stand by their product. The repair it is almost as much as buying a new one. Don't buy this product!!!

I purchased my microwave in January 2013 and 16 (sixteen) months later, it's not working. This microwave has made strange sounds in the past (like cracking or popping sounds when not in use) but it worked fine for a while. Now when I try to heat something it just go through the motions and has no heat at all. The light, turntable, fan and the functions of the keypad work. I will not spend money for repairs when it will be cheaper to replace. If I had read the comments before purchasing I wouldn't have. Frigidaire was an ok brand with me in the past but not anymore. Sorry, I have to ban Frigidaire products. I do not have money to waste on products that last for such a short period. The company needs to make big improvements or might be subject of a class action law suit.

Six months out of warranty (one year) the control panel child lock device self-activates and renders model# FFMV162LBA inoperable. The price of the replacement control panel is half the original purchase price of the unit. What junk.

I bought this Frigidaire over the range microwave about 3 yrs ago. And I just haven't had the money for the repair. It made a strong odor and then just stop working. I call Frigidaire and they told me exactly what was wrong with it. I assume they have been having issues with this microwave for some time now. The person I spoke with said that there was not a recall on this one. I think it should be for them to tell me what part I needed and how much that part cost. I think this company should back up their name. They show me that they could care less about the customer. I have the model number FMV152KBA.

We purchased the "Professional Series" line of Frigidaire appliances for a kitchen makeover six years ago. After two repairs, we had to replace the dishwasher (leaks and non-responsive controls), and now the door hinges on the microwave have come unattached from the frame. The door will still close and the unit runs, but I worry about radiation leaks, and the door eventually falling on a family member. The appliance repairman told us that it cannot be repaired (poor design), that the microwave has to be replaced. Guess what? It won't be replaced with a Frigidaire or Electrolux product!! Do all your friends and neighbors a favor -- tell THEM not to buy these cheaply made products, either!

Have owned this microwave for only a few years and the handle started to crack at the bottom some time ago. It has now reached the point where it is about to fall off. I have a coworker who has the please of having the same model microwave. He has had more issues than I have but both have issues with the handle and the control panel staying connected. These issues are in no way acceptable, they are design issues.

Microwave Model FPMO209KF PRO BUILT-IN MW - This unit is barely four years old and has already had door switches replaced twice totaling $253.92. The unit has failed again and appears to have burned out this time! Our previous microwave, another brand, lasted over 15 years and never failed! We gave that good microwave away when we had our Kitchen redesigned and filled with nearly $6,000 in new higher end Frigidaire products! Both this microwave oven and our dishwasher were a huge waste of money. Frigidaire is off my future purchasing list! I have written a letter to the manufacturer about my dishwasher issue with no response!

Our Frigidaire Gallery Microwave that is only 3 years old started throwing sparks when my 16 year old daughter wasn't using it. If I had not have noticed, no telling the damage that might have occurred. When I called Frigidaire Customer Service and told them what happened they said they could not assume any liability because no damage was done! So, if I had let the microwave keep running and set my kitchen on fire and let it cause harm to my child then they would assume responsibility?!?! An appliance that is used for its intended purpose should be replaced if it is defective and could possibly start a house fire!! I have this microwave repaired twice for the door lock/hinge breaking.

Bought from an Airport Appliance store in Concord, CA some time October 2013. Unit was built on 2012. This is the 0.8 cu.ft. small one. First I was smelling burnt plastic while heating up. After that the oven does not even heat but it lights up and turn the glass table.

We brought a Frigidaire Microwave, Stove, and Dishwasher in 2009. The stove's oven stopped working in 2012 and the microwave is still working but the door sensor or switch is not connecting which has caused the microwave to be inoperable. We were told to try to replace the oven's element, but to our luck, it didn't work. So was told that the oven's control panel needs to be replaced. We checked into buying the control panel but it cost almost as much as the oven. After finding this out, I called Frigidaire and they offered no help, but to buy a warranty or to pay to have a tech to come out. Not to mention in 2013 our microwave stop working. I'm very dissatisfied and saddened because we had perfectly good (outdated) appliances but we wanted newer stainless steel appliances so we switched them out for way lesser quality products. Thanks to Frigidaire for making a boat load of cheap designed products. WE WILL NEVER BUY FRIGIDAIRE/ELECTROLUX BRAND PRODUCTS AGAIN.

I bought my microwave in April of 2013. It stopped working in June. I called Frigidaire because it was still under warranty until April 2014. They in return connected me to one of their affiliates Quality Appliance to fix it. They came and looked at the item, told me they have to order the part and when it comes that I would have to pay $75.00 to uninstall and reinstall the microwave. That's not a problem considering it's a much needed appliance . This was June 2013, it is now January 2014. This item have been on back order since then. I am at wits end.

Frigidaire "Gallery" series model CGMV174KFA door will not close. Sears came to fix it. 2 years old. Ordered latch mechanism and face plate in case it breaks during disassemble. I watched the technician. Turns out all the parts are unnecessary. It is a flimsy piece of plastic attached to the door assembly that holds the spring to the latch assembly. He says the door must be replaced! I said no thanks. It will probably cost more than half the value of the original cost to replace/repair the door. It appears they gave very little thought to this crucial mechanical portion of the microwave. From what I see, there will be many broken microwaves of this model. Good luck out there.

After only 14 months of properly using our over-the-range Frigidaire microwave, model #FFMV164LS, we heard what sounded like the unit was running/heating when the unit should have been off, then we heard a popping sound. The control panel immediately ceased responding and the light and fan ran continually with no way to turn them off. We unplugged the unit and waited for several minutes and when I plugged it back, it immediately started to run, and the panel was unresponsive. A Frigidaire's customer service representative informed me that all I could do was call a service person, and at my expense. Extremely disappointed with Frigidaire and its products. Considering that 14 months is a pathetically short amount of time and a company as well-known as Frigidaire should stand by their product, and one would expect a reasonable number of years of use. We selected this product because we chose to buy American. What a disappointment.

Purchased a Frigidaire convection microwave oven from LOWE'S last summer. It started making a grinding noise when heating food, figured it was the glass plate on which the food was placed that was out of balance. Today it died. I contacted LOWE'S customer service on-line, what a joke!! She told me to take it to the store as she was unable to help, get this because I DID NOT BUY IT ONLINE?? I was not amused, so I'm going to the store to see if they can help or give me the proverbial run around.

We bought a Frigidaire Microwave 14 months ago and it already broke down. According to the local appliance store, parts are no longer made for this model Microwave. The Microwave was made in Thailand which may explain a lot. Sears would not recognize the warranty since it expired two months ago. It's very disappointing to spend about $500+ on a built-in Microwave and have it break down so soon. It's no wonder Sears business model is failing. Two Sears stores in our area have closed recently closed (Middlesboro KY and Morristown TN). I own another countertop microwave which is over 5 years old and it is still going strong and I've never had a problem. I paid about $150 for it. The lesson learned: Don't buy a Frigidaire and don't buy from Sears.

I have a Frigidaire microwave, model #FGMV173KBB, that also broke on the lower part of the door handle. The handle itself cracked a huge chunk off. I contacted customer service today and they said there has been no other complaints of the handles breaking. They said it was cosmetic so it would not be under warranty. They want about $30 for a replacement handle. This is not cosmetic. I purchased this microwave new 8 months ago. I never owned Frigidaire products before until we purchased this house. But so far, I'm not happy with their customer service.

I microwaved my coffee for 30 seconds. When I took it out, it didn't turn off and started burning the plate. It's a mystery how this passes US regulations.

The handle at the lower mounting of my Frigidaire model FGMV173KBA broke. I contacted the manufacturer (1-800-724-7519) for assistance. They offered a replacement handle at 50% of retail including postage. I would be in violation of their use and care manual if I performed the installation. With the cost of a service call, ten percent of the cost of the oven would be exceeded. They reported there had not been sufficient problems reported to justify any cost sharing or beyond the extended offer. If you have or know of damaged handles, please contact their customer service for assistance.

Last night I heard a large boom and glass breaking. I thought an intruder had busted out a window in my home. I walked into the kitchen and the glass in the microwave oven door exploded into thousands of small pieces. I'm just glad none of my grandchildren were visiting. Has anyone else had this problem?

I purchased an appliance package from Best Buy in October 2011. The microwave control panel caught fire and was replaced by a certified repairman. The dishwasher is noisy, constantly leaking and has damaged my kitchen flooring. The burners on the stove often do not ignite. I have to clean out the ducts with a pin. I am so upset. I will never buy a Frigidaire appliance again.

Microwave oven model #FFMV162LQ - I have called the helpline twice to try to get some information on how to disconnect or soften the alert beeper on the microwave when it has stopped. I was told there is nothing that can be done except to call a repairman who would dismantle and rewire the appliance, which of course would be ridiculous. If I am working at the stove and the loud piercing beeper operates, it is painful to my ears and I am sure it will cause hearing loss and possibly has already. I would return the appliance for one that has the possibility of lowering the beeper if I had some assurance that I could get the full price refunded and start over.

This machine is about seven years old. It does not get a lot of use. The bracket that the door is attached to inside the frame has broken. A repairman said the weld or tack that was holding it on broke, so now the door is loose. It seems to be still fairly tight when I close it, though I have to lift it up or it is too low to close. Repair guy said that since it is part of the frame, there is no repair for it. Also, once every month or so, there is a very loud electrical snap when you turn the machine on. No sparks, no shock, but very scary. This has happened over the last few years and has nothing to do with the door issue.

Approximately 14 months after purchasing my over-the-range microwave, it began to make terrible noises and then stopped working. I called Frigidaire and was told that there were several repair centers (authorized to work on their products) but that since my 1-year warranty was up, I needed to buy an extended warranty. Stupidly, I purchased the extended warranty and called many of their purported service people in my area. All of them, except Appliance Sales Plus in Somers, NY, said that they were no longer willing to work for Frigidaire.

My husband and I saved to buy a Frigidaire microwave to have when our baby was born in January. The microwave was quite working almost immediately. The timer would come on and count down but no microwave power. After a long time on the phone, a customer service rep at Frigidaire told my husband to unplug the microwave and plug it back in which did absolutely nothing. We took it down (it mounted over the stove, my husband made the brace for it) and took it to one of their approved repairmen in Weatherford, TX. He said it was irreparable and in really bad shape and he would contact Frigidaire for a replacement. They told him no. He brought it back and dumped it on our porch.

After only 14 months of properly using our over-the-range Frigidaire microwave, model #FFMV164LS, we heard what sounded like glass shattering upon closing the oven door. The control panel immediately ceased responding and the light and fan ran continually with no way to turn them off short of unplugging the unit entirely. The motherboard and lower plastic door latch had completely broken. Upon calling Frigidaire, the customer service representative informed me that all I could do was call a service person, who would charge $60 to $100 just to show up to tell me how badly a repair would damage my bank account.

We purchased our brand-new house 4 years ago which was complete with a kitchen full of Frigidaire appliances (except the refrigerator which we brought in and is a Kenmore). So far, we have had to replace the electric ceramic cooktop, because it was either too hot or wouldn't heat up. The first 2 months we lived here we had to have 3 service calls on our electric wall oven.

I bought a Frigidaire Professional microwave/venthood in January 2010. It wasn't installed until March or April. Within less than two years, it stopped working due to a broken magnetron, which costs around $350 including labor to repair. Frigidaire regrets my inconvenience but refuses to pay for it.

On July 10, 2011, my wife and I purchased a Frigidaire microwave oven range and installation service for a price totaling $510.52. The door of the microwave has loud scraping sound when opening and closing. Plus, in the inside, one light is missing.

I purchased a new Frigidaire kitchen set including the over the range built in professional series microwave with trim kit. The authorized dealer installed it. It worked for 60 days, maybe 50 cooking cycles. Now, only the clock works. The factory told me to contact the dealer while the dealer deleted the brand. Now, I know why. It is called factory service center. Nobody is certified to service the microwave units in Houston while I called several others. One said that this breakdown was typical while others said it was cheaper to just replace it and suggest a GE unit from Walmart. It seems that Frigidaire professional products are craps made in China with zero warranty or service available. It looks nice, but does not function and without factory support. I wish Toyota makes microwaves.

I thought they had quality products. I specifically purchased this combo "professional grade" combo oven/microwave appliance unit for the name and reliability. All I got was a two-year lemon. This was an extremely expensive product and now it's a pile of junk taking up space in my kitchen! I spent hundreds of additional dollars to have it professionally installed into my cabinets. I spoke to their various repair shops, all said it would cost me additional funds for removing this unit from the wall, and it was assumed the magnetron was the issue and other possible parts, this could result in nearly a $700.00 repair bill which Frigidaire should at a minimum assume some responsibility for this expense!

Useless over the Range Microwave from Frigidaire. We purchased a very expensive brand new home two years ago that had an over the range Frigidaire microwave in the kitchen. The over the range Frigidaire microwave is totally defective and useless. I contacted a Frigidaire service representative by phone in an attempt to get some assistance regarding this defective product, and she sounded like a foreigner from India who could not even pronounce a word of English, must less complete an entire sentence in English.

We bought a set of appliances a little over 3 years ago. One of the small unit in the big front burner already tored up and the microwave oven door is just about to fall off the microwave. Just me and my husband live here, so it has not been treated bad. I am really disappointed in Frigidaire appliances and will not buy any more of them.

I purchased a new over the range microwave in Feb '09 and I noticed right away now loose the door handle. I now have a cracked front door around the handle and the handle has come loose. What cheap plastic. How can a product not withstand daily use? I called Sears about a new door panel and handle but they want almost as much as a new microwave cost. I say Frigidaire has a poor design and cheap plastic.

I purchased an over the range microwave. Bracket was missing from the box, I called customer service to get one sent because we bought the last of this model at Lowe's. The rep tried to tell me that it does not come with the microwave and I could purchase it from her. I told her the instructions that said it came with it and how else could I install the product with no wall bracket? Still, she tried to get me to buy it. Finally, she said out of the goodness of her heart, Frigidaire would send me a free one. I waited 2 weeks and called back. It was on backorder and they would send it in one month. I called back in a month. Long story short, we waited over 3 months to get the bracket!

I purchased a Frigidaire microwave range in January 2010. In the first month the appliance had some heating issues, which was fixed by their technician. Then after 4 months, there was a crack developing on the door of the microwave, which was completely unusual for a 6 month old microwave. The company is trying to shrug it away by saying it’s a cosmetic issue, in which the company has nothing to do with it.

I purchased a Frigidaire microwave about three years ago. The turntable coupler that connects the turntable to the motor broke, disabling the turntable. The broken coupler is made of plastic and would not cost 10 cents to manufacture. The lowest price for this cheap part was $34.00. Only an idiot would pay that for a plastic part that was too flimsy to begin with. We'll never buy Frigidaire/Electrolux again.
