We bought the LGHT1837LP4 refrigerator-freezer with an extended warranty from Lowe's in March 2014. The unit sits in our garage and is opened infrequently, perhaps twice a week. The freezer accumulates ice near the upper right-hand corner where an irregular corner joint on the cabinet prevents a firm seal. The Lowe's dispatched serviceman, from a reputable repair shop we know, replaced the seal when the unit was 12 months old, but the ice build up continued. We have a second service call scheduled next week. I believe the seal failure is due to poor design of the cabinet corner (see photos).

In 2012 we started a long 4-year home remodel that is currently still going on. We started with the kitchen, dining and living room. In November of 2013 we were finally to the point of ordering all the appliances. Thinking that Frigidaire was a terrific company and spending weeks looking at so many different ones I kept coming back to the Frigidaire Gallery at Home Depot. I ordered the stainless steel with smudge-proof Fridge with bottom freezer and built in ice maker (which broke the first 6 months of owning), the dishwasher (which keeps having error messages and I guess it needs a new console already) and the double ovens (no problems... YET).
We spent over $4,000 for all our new appliances. I had the ice-maker replaced, but it still doesn't work right. I am so disgusted with these appliances. They look good but they work like crap. I've made several complaints to anyone that would listen and no responses. My advice to anyone wanting new appliances... DO NOT BUY FRIGIDAIRE!!!

Bought the Frigidaire set at HHGregg 5 yrs ago. The refrigerator is very cheaply made. The door gasket on the refrigerator has been replaced 4 times at $75 each time. The gasket seal is cheaply made and magnet tears through bottom. The light burned the plastic inside top of refrigerator. I think we have replaced every door shelf, drawer and rails in it because they broke. Water filter is almost impossible to replace. Every time something would get in the electric glass top, a fire would start... that has gotten less over time. The door handle to the stove has fallen off 4 times when opening it to take hot food out.
The dishwasher is a disaster. Shortest cycle is 2 hours and dishes still aren't clean. Half the time the water doesn't come up so all you get is the heating element heating up but can't make water come up because it is all digital. You just have to start the 2 hr cycle over. The over range microwave I love and has been unexpectedly great but one of the stovetop lights melted in the socket but I replaced it and wasn't too costly. The microwave is the correct distance from the stove, just made cheaply. Needless to say, I am looking for a new set and won't even consider Frigidaire.

The ice maker was giving intermittent problems. Repairman was called. Pulled refrigerator out and a large portion of the back was rusted and damage was obviously evident all around the rusted area. This damage had been going on for a long time, obviously. Repairman said this refrigerator was "ruined". As far as I knew, there was nothing going on besides the intermittent ice maker. Contacted Frigidaire, sent in requested receipt and pictures of damage. They would get back to me. They did 5 days later with no instructions. By this time I had replaced refrigerator with non-Frigidaire. They asked me if I still had the old refrigerator, I said no. Then they said they could not help me because they would have repaired the old one (how convenient) and I did not buy a Frigidaire replacement (why should I).
The Repairman had warned me that Frigidaire Customer Service was very difficult to work with. He also said since this is a 2nd home I should be glad that I did not have a flood and ruined floors. He also told me that this Refrigerator was made in Mexico and these seemed to be the ones that tended to be defective. I think if they said they were willing to fix this refrigerator, I deserve some compensation. Though the refrigerator was purchased in May 2010 with house under construction, it was not placed in service until January 2011. I thought refrigerators were supposed to last longer than 4-5 years?

Noisy refrigerator. Right after I purchased the refrigerator I contacted the company and insisted a service person come to check the noise. To my surprise I was told that all of these make noise! I have had many, many refrigerators over the years, none made this much noise.

I bought this fridge exactly one year ago. After just four months I noticed a crack in the door handle where it thins to go over the top of the door where the screw is that holds it on. Two months later it broke completely. This, I was told is cosmetic and not covered however they did send me a "complimentary" set of handles. Within a month there was a crack in the second one at the same spot. Obviously a design flaw and I've seen other with the same problem so you would think the maker of the fridge would fix this. All that is needed is a piece of metal in that part of the handle.
Also it suddenly started to get very warm. I took all the food out of the freezer and hit the back right side with the side of my hand and could hear ice cracking back there. Took my hair dryer and held it to the spot and heard ice and water running down inside the back between the outer covering and the inner wall. Fridge cooled after that. Guess I'll have to continue to do that when this happens again. I probably won't ever buy a Frigidaire again. I had a Kenmore for 25 years before it finally gave me problems then quit working.

So we purchased a fridge back in March 2015 and 6 months later it broke down! Had to throw all my food away not to mention that I have three children and we had to come out of pocket to eat on a daily basis. They agreed to fix my fridge but would have to wait two weeks!!!! So I called the place I bought it and they offered to replace the whole fridge but not food that I lost... Called Frigidaire and they don't replace food either soooo I lost all my food and money! I WOULD NOT recommend this brand EVER!!!

Purchased 12/14. Delivered to our house 1/15 damaged. Replaced 2/15. Door shelf fell off and cracked, and freezer turns contents to ice crystals and also ice forms all around the freezer walls. 7 SERVICE CALLS AND STILL NOT FIXED. Now they want to replace the doors. They have sent out 4 different repair companies and each one finds something different wrong. I have two handicap family members living in this house and obviously the loss of proper nutrition because of a defective refrigerator is of great concern to me. Frigidaire is not standing behind their product, and I am equally fed up with Home Depot because after many calls they also refuse to stand by us after they got our money for this purchase.

We redid our kitchen in February 2014 and purchased the stainless steel Frigidaire Gallery oven, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. Buried in the instruction manual, it says not to let aluminum foil touch the bottom of the oven. I had lined previous ovens with aluminum foil to catch spills, so I lined this oven. The foil immediately adhered to oven and couldn't be removed. Since it was in the manual, I replaced the oven lining.
I used the oven cleaning feature to remove some small spills, and it left white residue that cannot be removed. The more I cleaned the oven (about every other month), the more residue was left and the finish is wearing off. The refrigerator started to make a vibrating noise after about a year. We shifted it so that it wasn't touching anything that could cause the vibration. The vibration stopped, and starts again after an hour. I had my prior appliances for 15 years and they worked better than these year old ones.

I purchased the entire Galaxy Collection from Frigidaire at the end of June 2015 as I liked the idea of no finger prints. At first, the dishwasher didn't work and fortunately, the Brick arranged an exchange for another one, a month later. In the meantime, on first use, the water dispenser continued to run up to 10 seconds after you stopped pressing the dispenser. After three service calls and parts, the service technician concluded that it is a design flaw in the fridge, and basically learn to live with it. (Big puddles on the floor, constantly mopping up the water running down the front of the fridge, etc.) I've tried to reach Frigidaire three times through emails. And today, I held on the phone over an hour and finally hung up! Not sure who to complain to as no one at Frigidaire seems to care.

I saved and saved so I could purchase new appliances for my home. The style, the size and finish I wanted. I finally was able to purchase an refrigerator and matching stove 7/2011. I cannot say exactly when the problem occurred, but on 7/28/2015, I noticed the interior light bulbs melted the interior surface of the refrigerator. I have to believe this was a fairly severe event because not only did the surface cabinet melt, it also melted and discolored (burned) the insulation behind it. Clearly this is a safety issue!
I am frightened to keep the unit running. I have not yet received a response from the manufacturer, let alone a resolution. I am very much interested in joining a class action lawsuit because based on other posts I see this is a common problem that the manufacturer does not appear to be resolving. When I purchase an appliance for nearly $1000, I do not think it unreasonable to expect it to last well beyond 4 years.

I purchased for my mother Frigidaire fridge from Sears in 2010. She lives alone and doesn't cook much except for herself. Two days ago, she smelled burning plastic but could not find smoke in her apartment. She thought maybe it comes from the street or maybe neighbors across the street have bonfire. This senior community is a 3 story building complex where seniors age at least from 65 to 90 years old living inside. Around 4:30 am in the morning, the burning smell so intense but no signs of smoke or fire. She went to kitchen where the smell of burning came from. She moved the Frigidaire fridge away from the wall, the heat and the burning smell was too much. She unplugged the electric cord and opened all windows and doors.
For a 78-year-old woman, God bless her heart and all the seniors in the complex, this is a miracle. What if the fired happened without warning? What if the level of CO is extreme? We did not purchase extended warranty because we did not have enough money. But at least Frigidaire must at least protect consumers from fire hazard. It is only 5-year-old fridge. What if that day she went out of town? What would happened to all the residents that day in the middle of the night? I don't care what product they make. But to have the fridge in the house and it runs 24/7 like any fridge in any house and apartment WITHOUT catching fire is the most important issue. This is a crime and the company must be held accountable for what they did.

We have a 3-year old Frigidaire side by side freezer on the bottom unit. It already has had the ice maker unit replaced. I now have had a repairman come out for my freezer portion. He has had to order a new motherboard and interface panel. I have rust on the back of my fridge. Apparently Frigidaire knew of a problem because they already had a patch kit created for this issue. Problem is with the ice maker fan in back is causing moisture. This has caused the rusting that is not repairable. Now I wake up this morning to find my ice maker full of water, not ice and an error code on fridge and freezer. Frigidaire does not stand behind their products or care about the people who buy them.

We bought this refrigerator in May of 2014. Within two months, the refrigerator began leaking underneath. We were under the year's warranty, and a service repair person came out to repair the problem. Less than 6 months later, the same issue-water gathers at the bottom of the refrigerator and over-spills out the fridge onto the floor. The same service repair company came out again to repair. It worked for about three months, then, again, leaking. Again, the repairman. Again, the leak. By this time, the warranty has expired, and the same service repair company now wants 80.00 to repair the SAME ISSUE they failed to repair.
Frigidaire does not accept responsibility for their product. First they tried to sell me an extended service agreement, then, when I decide to purchase this agreement, it was "Oops, the extended service agreement is not available in your area." During this same time, several parts inside the refrigerator had to be replaced. This included: the door handle, the entire base to the bottom shelf, and one of the bottom drawers. These things cracked and fell apart within the first four months of owning a brand new refrigerator.
I believe this is bad business, and discriminatory, to sell a product in an area, then send inexperienced repairmen to scotch tape, but not repair, the problem, then refuse to sell coverage for the refrigerator under their extended service agreement. This refrigerator is one and one half years old. It has been pouring water from the bottom for about 13 months out of that time.
Aside from the health issues related to this disgusting water, the constant water is now attracting insects. This is a problem, and Frigidaire's solution is NO solution. Sorry, customer, you are on your own. Yes, we know, the product is defective. Yes, we know we failed to properly repair the problem. Yes, yes, we know we are discriminating against consumers in your area by selling you a product that has many issues, then refusing to sell to you a warranty that will cover the constant repairs and replacements that are necessary when owning this product. We're sorry, we understand, wait! Let me transfer you to a number that rings eternally. Don't worry, no one will ever answer!
I would like to be fair and note that the customer service representatives were friendly and tried to be helpful, but they did seem under trained at the least. One rep gave me a service number that was no longer in use. Another transferred me to a number that gives a menu, but when you push, say, 4 for repairs, it rang and no one ever answered. Yet another representative went through many steps and really tried to help by: giving me the outdated number, which I pointed out was not working, called it himself and saw that it was not working; giving me another number, which was the number that rang without answer; placing me repeatedly on hold to speak to a supervisor (but when I asked for a supervisor during the second call, a representative, Shay, told me I had to call the outdated, non-working number and request a supervisor).
Finally, telling me to call back to the number that rings without answer. That, so far has been the conclusion of my complaint. As I type this, the phone is ringing, waiting for someone at Frigidaire customer service in my area to answer. Thanks, Frigidaire, for a wet floor, and not much else.

My son purchased our Frigidaire refrigerator through Direct Buy as a gift when we purchased our new home. The fridge came with a 1-year warranty. We have had this refrigerator for 4 years and have spent approx. $1500.00. On delivery the Control Panel for the Water and Ice did not work and had to be replaced. The fridge makes loud gas popping noises - extra insulation to dampen the noise but the fridge continually make these noises. We had to replace the Ice Maker as it does not shut off so the ice will freezes up over the ice maker. We have to continually monitor the amount of ice we may need and empty the rest. If you shut off the ice maker the rest of the ice melts - you have to bag it and place in the freezer. The Waterline continually freezes - have to empty the freezer and place fridge items in a cooler and defrost over 24 hours for the fridge to work for approx. 1 month!!!
Fridge continually freezes food - Freezer ices up - Customer service 5 months ago, a service call to Frigidaire was suppose to have parts shipped directly to us that would resolve this issue. We have followed up regularly with their customer service and most recently I received a call from the customer service to tell me the part was shipped. Five weeks later I call customer service and they cannot trace the call or the part. They were to call me back and 1 week later I have heard nothing. I was able to finally find the right temperature for the fridge - set at 42. I am not able to defrost my fridge for 24 hours every month so I am doing without water and ice.
I like the external finish on the fridge but for the rest of it - I would highly recommend that no one purchase this product regardless of rebates offered. Oh by the way, customer service had offered us 40% off a new fridge - I will NEVER buy another Frigidaire Product!!! Sutton and Sons have been servicing my appliances and have done a great job for us but they too have not been able to get through to customer service to get the required parts.

FGHF2344MF6: This is the most unreliable refrigerator that I have ever owned. Within the first two months of owning it things started going wrong. The ice maker made six ice cubes a day, the freezer didn't stay cold and three years later, after having repair men come (while still under warranty), it still is doing the same thing. Good thing I kept my 10 year old refrigerator as a back up. One minute the freezer is at 6 degrees, the next it is at 35 degrees without anyone touching a thing and without any frost on the inside of the freezer. I think a generic brand refrig. would be better than this.

Sales associates were not the issue. We purchased a refrigerator that did not cool down when we put our frozen food in it, which measured some coolness, but not cooling down. A few hours later, we called the delivery driver and told him it was not cooling. He said to wait 24 hours, the next morning all our food was bad and hhgregg would not replace the food. I had to call Fridigaire, Fridigaire said they would not responsible to replace food either for a frig that was bad. I was surprised that none were considerate of our loss, You should have offered to replace, I should not have to complain.
I will be using social media to tell everyone not to let a delivery driver take off before he checks to see if a fridge is cooling down. I would not have let your delivery driver take my old fridge if we know that these new fridge had set up COOLING issues. I have had several new and used fridge, we got a fridge that the fan motor did not kick in or the compressor.

The technician left my house after the 7th service call on a refrigerator that isn't 1 year old. The problem is frost build-up inside the freezer compartment in an appliance that is in the garage, so it is opened infrequently - maybe once or twice a day. After adding caulk behind the door seals for both fridge and freezer, replacing the freezer door gasket, replacing the freezer door, and replacing the freezer fan, it now appears that Frigidaire may be on the verge of giving me a new unit. We'll see! The tech who came to my house is dealing with three other Frigidaires that are under warranty and have the same problem. BTW, the service tech said 85%-90% of his calls are on appliances from all manufacturers that are still under warranty. He said the parts used today are ultra-low quality. His recommendation when buying an appliance is ALWAYS buy the warranty. Have a nice day!!

My mother bought the Frigidaire refrigerator in March of 2009. The refrigerator was sold as new. My mother had no idea when it was made until she called the company. The rep said "the company would send someone out to fix it and it would cost $300.00." My mother bought the extended warranty, it was covered for 5 years from the purchase date. Now August 18, 2015 the compressor goes out and this is how the company wants to help. If you want to sell a great product or at least stand behind it offer something. It is not like people always want something for nothing, however when you pay a nice amount of money for something you expect it to last and 6 years for a refrigerator to last is unacceptable.
My parents needless to say went with a Whirlpool this time around. Companies make everything to not last. Nothing like the good old days as my grandmother would say. She has a Whirlpool refrigerator that she has had for 30 years and this is why my parents went with Whirlpool. I hope their product is still as high quality as it was 30 years ago. If not why I will be sure to put another opinion out there. Again, it goes back to people work hard for their money and they expect when they spend a lot of money on something that it will last. Again, I guess we live in a disposable society, so maybe not all individuals would have the same thought process. Hope this helps anyone else out that reads this.

My parents (who are elderly) spent $1800, 9 yrs ago on a Frigidaire refrigerator. Last Thursday, my father noticed the thermostat was hot to the touch. So he called a service repairman, and they set up a time on the following day to come take a look. Well, later that day (Thursday), my parents were in their living room when they heard a loud pop, and then sparks. My father walked into the kitchen where black smoke was coming from the fridge. He opened the doors to the fridge and it was ON FIRE! That's right, flames, smoke, melting plastic! He quickly grabbed a pail of water and put the fire out. (He did unplug it first).
If they had been to the store, or on vacation, it would have burned their house down. If they had been asleep in the middle of the night, the smoke alone would have killed them. They are lucky to be alive and lucky they were home at the time. Needless to say, there was no salvaging any food from the freezer or the fridge. Everything was ruined. I called the company, know full well absolutely nothing would be done. They didn't care at all... I'm keeping my eyes open for class action lawsuits. They purchased a new fridge and we went to great lengths to make sure it was NOT manufactured by Frigidaire. After reading all the negative things on this site about Frigidaire, I'm surprised they are still in business. Certainly will never ever buy anything from Frigidaire again!

I purchased a Frigidaire refrigerator, model lgus2642lf, on May 1st, 2013 and the unit stopped working. I called the company and said basically too bad.

I purchased a brand new Frigidaire refrigerator 2 years ago for a seasonal cottage. It worked for 3 months and did not cool at all the following season. The Company wanted to sell me a $214.00 extended warranty for an appliance that was barely used and obviously defective. I will never purchase any Frigidaire appliance again because obviously they are selling products with questionable quality. I have a fridge from the 1980's from General Electric that is still running. The consumer needs to demand better quality.

We bought our Frigidaire Refrigerator 4 months ago. (Model LFHT2131QP0.) The other day as I was opening the door, the handle broke off in my hand. My husband and I are in our 60's and are not rough with our appliances. Even though our fridge is still under warranty, Frigidaire refuses to pay for a replacement handle as they consider the handles to be for "cosmetic purposes only." Whoever heard of refrigerator handles being for cosmetic purposes?? In my 63 years of living, this is the ONLY time I've ever seen a refrigerator door handle just break like that - all the way across. I will never recommend Frigidaire products to another person!

Let me start by saying if you are looking for appliances DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FRIGIDAIRE!! The price might seem better but you get what you pay for!! I have a side by side refrigerator that I have an extended warranty on. I called on 8-5-15 at 8:14 am and was told I would be contacted within 24 hrs. When that didn't happen I called back on 8-6-15 and was told "Oh we're sorry you were told incorrect information. It takes 24-48 hours for you to receive a call." I called back Friday 8-7-15 at 3:34 pm and was told that my issue was escalated to their 3rd party servicers and I would be receiving a call back and that I should have been told 2-3 business days not hours.
All the while I have NO REFRIGERATOR or FREEZER because it stopped cooling altogether, which I explained in detail on my first call. I have spoken with 5 different people since 8-6-2015 and 3 different supervisors. Gwendolyn, Alicia and Katie. All of whom tell me different stories. This company is a joke!!

After a fire in our home in September 2011, we needed to replace our great GE refrigerator. We purchased a Frigidaire French door refrigerator. We received the fridge in December 2011. By July 2013, we had numerous problems with the ice maker, leaking water. After many calls to customer service and five separate visits by repairmen, Frigidaire gave us a new fridge (same model as the one we bought).
In February 2014, we had more problems with the replacement refrigerator. They replaced a gasket because we had problems again with the ice maker. But now there is a new problem. The display on the outside the refrigerator climbed to 52 degrees for the refrigerator section. The freezer section stayed at 0 degrees. It then started dropping back to 37 degrees (this is the temperature we set the refrigerator). It did this several times. We again called customer service who sent out a repair person. They were not able to diagnose the problem because the fridge seemed to be working properly. When it happened again, we called the repair company directly and they ordered and replaced a computer board.
It is now August 9, 2015 and rather than holding the temperature at 37 degrees, the display now shows 25 degrees and I have frozen lettuce. We know the display is probably correct because we bought a thermometer for the refrigerator and it agrees with the display. Because it is Sunday, I will need to wait until Monday to call customer service. The unit is just over 2 years old, but fortunately we bought the extended warranty. This refrigerator has been a headache. I don't know whether I will have spoiled food because the temperature is too high or frozen food in the fridge because the temperature is too cold.

I recently purchased the Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator in February 2013 (a period of 2 years and 5 months ago) and I have been experiencing numerous problems with the product. The ice maker and water dispenser no longer work, and the fridge does not stay cold enough so my food has gotten spoiled and gone bad, and now there is the error code "SY EF" on the door of my freezer.
I contacted a representative and was told that the product was out of warranty and I would have to pay out of pocket to fix it. While I do understand that the warranty is out of date; a period of two and a half years for a functioning refrigerator is very poor and this speaks volumes to the quality of the product that we have purchased. One of my relatives has a refrigerator that has been running for years and has encountered no problems. And so for refrigerator to break down after a short span of only two years, it really shows the lack of quality assurance. I have noted that I, along with many others, have been experiencing problems with the product and it is not a problem unique only to me. I would not recommend Frigidaire products to anyone.

On March 2014, I purchase my kitchen appliances at Brault and Martineau and 2 months after I had a problem with my dishwasher, the technician said there was a problem with the motherboard which needed to be changed, so I needed to wait until the parcel arrived. After it was repaired, a few weeks later the dishwasher started to leak. So before it damaged my kitchen, I called the company Frigidaire to come repair and I noticed that the dishwasher had damaged my counter too.
When I called the company Frigidaire, they said to fax everything that they will take care of it, and for me to get quotes on some counters tops. After sending all my information and getting quotes on counter tops like they asked me to, they refused to pay for the damages. They did not want to hear about it at all. Few weeks later, my ice maker breaks down in my fridge and I get the technician to come look at it and repair it at least eight times and it is not repaired yet. So they had no choice to change my fridge.
On November 2014, I received a new fridge and I am having the same problems STILL. I feel like I'm getting the run around and/or a used fridge. I call the company Frigidaire and they are very rude with me, and they put you on hold for the longest time. They do NOT respect their clientele at all. They tell me to call the technician, the technician tells me to call the company Frigidaire. It seems like a game in which I want no part of. I have them come repair the ice maker and yet it can't seem to be repaired.
I call a week later to confirm on what's going on and no one seems to know anything, so they respond with waiting for the parcel. I call last week and I found out that the parcel was order only as of last Friday. Three weeks later, I call again and I was told that now they know what piece was missing and it's on delivery. In other words, if wouldn't have called to confirm on what going on, I would still be waiting...oh wait, I am still waiting. I have been going through a battles to repair my ice maker and my counter for over one year and half - it's ridiculous. I was told to take them to small claims court to try and fix this problem, like I have nothing better to do in my life. Absolutely ridiculous. All this to say that the company Frigidaire is not reliable. They do not take care of their customers nor do bother.

Shortly after Christmas, my elderly mother who lives alone far away from me bought a modest Frigidaire refrigerator and had it delivered to her home in Terre Haute, Indiana. In June 2015, she noticed that water was leaking inside the refrigerator compartment and called for service from the manufacturer. This has been going on for nearly two months and has been told by both companies that they are "sorry" for our inconvenience.
What my mother and I have been through to get her refrigerator repaired or replaced has been nothing short of a nightmare. Spending hours on the telephone with the Frigidaire Corporate Customer Service Department and H.H. Gregg has been nothing short of a total waste of time. I would insist that companies such as H.H. Gregg and Frigidaire have the ability to intervene and replace a defective item as a gesture of goodwill. Then the retailer goes about getting reimbursed or credited from the manufacturer or they just right this off of a customer service goodwill account. Both companies have proven that neither believes in customer satisfaction and customer goodwill is not in their vocabulary.
To date, 3 separate repair attempts have failed and my mother has copies of the warranty tickets totaling nearly $800 and considering the retail cost of my mother’s refrigerator was very modest in the $500 range, the warranty repair tickets costs have greatly surpassed that number already. The worst part is that her refrigerator is still not repaired. In the long run, we may very well need to purchase a new refrigerator to end this inconvenience and my mother can get back to her daily life, which does not include tending to her refrigerator with daily clean up.
I called Frigidaire again today and wasted another hour of my life trying to get this resolved for my mother. I asked the simple question of "At what point does Frigidaire stop throwing warranty repair money at a product and replace it when multiple repair attempts have failed?" The answer I received was hysterical. "When the repair technician tells us the product can not be repaired, he is to take pictures and send those in." I told them that the repair technician is billing between $175 - $250 a trip to come and work on a refrigerator.
I asked why would anyone want to give up a cash cow as lucrative as this. And who at Frigidaire oversees this and has the ability to stop the repair sub-contractor from bleeding the company dry. They had no answers. The "customer service" representatives are like robots fielding calls and typing a few keystrokes into a computer. I was told that her case is in review to find another repair technician, a process I am told will take probably another week. Then a new repair team will start milking the Frigidaire cow for another $800 or more. What a great system and I am just sorry I am not in the appliance repair business. It seems to be quite lucrative.
In the long run, I may have to concede that we wasted $500 purchasing an appliance from H.H. Gregg. I will, however, promise that I will dedicate a substantial amount of my free time to stir up enough bad press and publicity that a $500 replacement refrigerator will end up looking like a bargain. I am angry and I am persistent. I will find the email address for every consumer advocate reporter, corporate manager, CEO and Board Member of both companies. If the stock holders are wondering why they are not seeing profits, just let them read my story which sounds like it is widespread. I am one consumer that will never buy anything branded as Frigidaire and will educate as many people as possible about it.

So we called for service and was given numbers for service in our area. I called the numbers repeatedly but never got a return call.

We were told by Frigidaire that when we installed the ice maker (as we were told) that the warranty was voided.
Our options are to buy an ice maker from Frigidaire or pay for another warranty (over $300). We asked to speak with a supervisor and was hung up on 3 times and then held for over 2 hours.

I moved to the unit on 9/6/2015 and found out a couple days later that the lower door handle of the fridge had a crack on one side of the screw. The problem was overlooked at first.

We bought a new home in Dec of 2013 and the lovely new kitchen was fully equipped with brand new Frigidaire gas range with convection oven, dishwasher and side by side fridge and freezer. They were all top of the line Gallery Professional stainless steel and still had the packing materials and tags. The ice maker never worked and had to be replaced, but the ice pours out so frantically that it shoots all over the kitchen floor. The dishwasher wouldn't work well. It was difficult to get any of the cycles to run and the shelves kept falling off their tracts. We wound up replacing the dishwasher with a Miele which runs like a dream machine.
The gallery gas stove gets so hot when the oven is on that the front control knobs can't be touched without a potholder to keep your hands from being burned. The back panel is buckled and partly melted from the extreme heat. The burners are so poorly spaced that if you try to boil water for pasta on the left back burner, the back panel gets too hot to touch so you can't use the timer or oven controls. When the oven is on the venting comes out through the back panel blowing the oven heat onto the stove surface. This stove is a danger to use. I've already been burned twice and yesterday my son was burned when his hand accidentally came in contact with one of the metal front burner dials.

Had to replace cooling part then ice maker stop working and now freezer not working. This lemon is only two years old. Had to pay out of pocket for all repairs. Frigidaire did nothing for me. Will never buy anything from them again. I paid over a thousand dollars for this lemon. Two door freezer at bottom stainless steel.

I bought my Galaxy Refrigerator about 6 weeks ago. My previous GE had a cold water dispenser! The Frigidaire does not. Why have a water dispenser in a refrigerator that is not cold? Go figure. My GE side by side had more refrigerator door space and shelf space because the ice dispenser was in the freezer not the refrigerator. Also my left refrigerator door cannot be opened unless the right door is open. It is poorly designed. I am extremely disappointed. Wake up engineers!!!

New high end product with side by side Freezer (one unit) and Fridge (another unit) and in less than a year we have had to call for service 3x - still with no decent resolution. Electrolux (poorly run co) first came out replaced the ice maker. Then noticed handles work very poorly & suggested we need new doors. 3 weeks later doors installed, handle still doesn't work. Fridge now doesn't cool properly & to add insult to poor service we are stuck with two giant wood crates! Not a fan of Frigidaire!! Plus, my neighbor has same model & same issue - STEER CLEAR of Frigidaire side by side units!

I have made approximately 8 service requests for my Frigidaire French door refrigerator since January 2011. I purchased it in late October 2010. The ice maker and water device in door would not work. I had snow in my freezer. Eventually the snowing stopped sometime in 2012, and I stopped trying to use the door water/ice features. In March 2015 while I was having my kitchen floor replaced it was determined that a 1 square foot hole was under my refrigerator, so that was repaired as well as floor joists that had also decayed for some reason. Upon the new floor being installed we noticed a pool of water forming daily to the right of the front of the refrigerator. This led us to suspect the cause of the hole in the floor which I then realized was not present when the refrigerator was installed. I had disconnected the water tube to the unit, so the water forming on the floor was from something else.
We turned off the unit and about 3 days later the pooling stopped. Today I had a reputable repairman tell me the unit is not repairable because the coupling between the condensation drain tube and the tube attached to the drip pan has a hole in it which is common for my model refrigerator. I am coldly mad. I patiently waited for two years and many service calls to fix the refrigerator's other problems which are still present, but never did someone tell me there was a latent defect. I am investigating a class action suit against Frigidaire. Anyone want to join?

Frigidaire LGHB2867PF Gallery - Called Frigidaire customer service on a Saturday morning, 10 days after the fridge arrived and waited approximately 25 minutes to be connected, as all representative were busy with an extremely high call volume, at 9:00 am. Hmmm! Explained what was going on with the freezer temperature and was told that a service call with a Frigidaire had been set up. I would be receiving a call from their certified dealer to schedule an appointment. The company that was suppose to contact me was 40 minutes away. Thought that was unusual since I live in Columbus, OH. Called Frigidaire back the following Wednesday and they said they would try and find someone else to come check the fridge but it may take a few days with the Memorial weekend holiday on Monday.
Called Lowe's; bought appliances from them, and they scheduled service with their repairman for the next day. A repairman came took the temperature reading for the freezer and it was 11 degrees...which apparently can be either 8 degrees or 14 degrees; "3 degree variation is normal I suppose when taking the reading", they say. Repairman called Frigidaire and didn't really know what the problem was. Was I shutting the door all the way, etc. After repairman got off the phone I asked "What did he suggest?" He mentioned a new temperature control, and would come out the next day to take another temp reading.
After he left I went to Lowe's and asked them to make arrangements to pick up all 3 appliances, I would find another brand. I was not going to go with a process of elimination to figure out what was wrong with my 2 week old refrigerator. Frigidaire got back with me on Tuesday May 26, and said they had a repairman from Columbus OH that would be out the next day; 11 days after my initial call. Told the gentlemen I would not be needing service as the refrigerator was being returned that day. Poor customer service, poor product.

I purchased a brand new high end Frigidaire refrigerator a month ago -- which has never worked. A repairman was sent out, who said it needed a new 'motherboard' -- the computer that runs the whole refrigerator. That was ordered a month ago. Many phone calls later, I still have no mother board, no working refrigerator -- and no end in sight, I can't even get anyone on the phone who will take responsibility for either returning the fridge, or even giving me a ship date for the part.

This refrigerator was purchased brand new from Best Buy ($1500). After the first 18 months, the refrigerator stopped cooling and reached a temp of 68 so I had to throw all food away. I defrosted the fridge by powering off and unplugging. I plugged in next day and it worked fine for about 6 months. Then again, I threw all food away. I had someone come and look, they said very hard to work on and didn't do anything. So, I defrosted and unplugged.
Again, good for a few months. Then, again I had to throw all of my food away. This had happened 3 times in the past 2 months. To make matters worse, the digital temp is reading 40 right now and the actual temp is really 56, so I didn't even know my food was out of temp until a couple days when I noticed that my water wasn't really getting cold in my fridge. Also, the ice maker produces about 12 cubes a day. I am beyond aggravated. I would never ever recommend this brand to anyone. This was an investment when I bought my home.

In June of 2013 I bought all new kitchen appliances from P.C. Richards. My stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator were all Frigidaire products. Within the first two days of them being delivered my refrigerator wasn't working and I moved all my food to a friend's house until the P.C. Richards service person could get there. They fixed it. Two and a half months later my Frigidaire refrigerator stopped working again. This time I was at work and all my food spoiled and I lost everything in my freezer and refrigerator. Frigidaire told me there was nothing they could do about the loss of food, but they sent someone out to repair it and extended my warranty for an additional 6 months.
Fast forward to Monday, May 26... I come home after a week of vacation to the stench of something in my condo. As I walked further into my home, I realize the smell is coming from the kitchen. When I opened the door to the refrigerator I was almost knocked over by the smell but it wasn't until I opened the freezer with all the defrosted and rotting meat that I threw up. For the third time in less than 2 year my refrigerator has broken again. For the second time I lost all my groceries... and after speaking to 3 different customer service reps, (each person allegedly above the other) the only solution Frigidaire would offer is to have someone come and repair the fridge. This is not an acceptable response for two reasons.... the smell of the refrigerator is so bad even after cleaning several times with bleach and hot water, there is no way I'm keeping it in my home, let alone put food in it.
Second, I believe this refrigerator to be a lemon since it hasn't worked correctly since day 1. I am not allowing Frigidaire to come and fix it only for it to break again and lose all my groceries again. What am I supposed to do? Go food shopping everyday because I'm afraid to leave anything in my refrigerator longer with the fear of it breaking again??? Basically the 3 customer service people I spoke to told me that all they can offer and I'm SOL. I've filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, and the department of Consumer Affairs in New Jersey, Georgia and North Carolina, where Frigidaire and their parent company Electrolux are located. All I want is half the cost of the refrigerator so I can go elsewhere and use that money towards a different brand refrigerator.

I purchased a Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator a little over a year ago. During the first 12 months of ownership I contacted the store I purchased it and was told to contact Frigidaire directly with my complaint. The complaint I have is regarding the ice maker chute on the outside of the door. It dispenses cubed and crushed ice at such a high volume that I can't allow anyone else other than myself to use it since it shoots ice out so fast that a majority of it goes on the floor which results in potential damage to the brand new laminate floor I recently installed. I even have to use a large mouthed tumbler when I use it. Recently I had family over for Memorial Day. I came in from grilling outside to find my mother frantically crawling around on the floor trying to pick up all of the tiny pieces of ice before they melted and ran into the flooring.
She was upset with herself and feared she had ruined my new floor. I am so tired of going through this same scenario and want everyone possible to know about it. Over several weeks time, Frigidaire provided 4 separate service calls with no remedy. On the last service call I was basically told in so many words "sorry about your luck, that's just the way it is designed and you have to live with it." During the attempted repair process I was shipped a chute extension that is used either on older models or new models but it is not made to fit in my unit. The service man mentioned the extension as well and even said he wasn't sure why they don't use them on all models since he was aware of the ice maker on steroids issue.
I am typically a very patient person but find this to be quite unacceptable. I purchased this unit with plans to replace the rest of my older kitchen appliances with matching stainless steel Frigidaire appliances. I am stuck now with trying to find other manufacturers models with similar appearance and characteristics since Frigidaire is not willing to make good with what I think any consumer would expect to receive. I have exhausted any and all of the resources Frigidaire provides and want to scream. I will never buy another Frigidaire appliance...EVER!

I bought a french door fridge with water and ice dispenser at hhgregg. After 6 months the ice maker and water system froze up. A serviceman offered that we should shut it down and attempt to melt the iced up lines with a hair dryer. We did this and it worked but refroze in a short time. He then came and took apart the cover over the water coil and thawed the line. This was covered by the warranty. After owning this for a year the temperature in the freezer went up and the fridge temperature also went up. We called the serviceman again and he came and replaced a small evaporator fan motor that cost over $100.00 just for the part.
The entire time we have owned this ice has build up on the water coil first about every 2 months and now it occurs every 3 or 4 days. The ice also build up at the back of the ice maker on the back wall of the fridge. The freezer sometimes is at 0 degrees and other times it goes to 20 degrees. The food is often barely frozen. I have had to shut the unit down and defrost the ice build up in the ports that run from the freezer to the fridge. Now the water line seems to be leaking at the back of the ice maker. I have now shut the water line off that feeds it, I hope this stops the ice. All the while this fridge makes noises like I have never heard before. Snapping and banging and noise that sounds like ice cubes falling into an empty tray, but the ice maker is never working. This is the worst appliance I have ever owned.

We purchased a home with all brand new Frigidaire appliances. The appliances were purchased in mid-December of 2014. In early March of 2015 the fridge stopped blowing cold air completely. I was told to contact one the of "certified" Frigidaire service locations and set something up to have it looked at. We were told the main board had gone bad and that it was on back order. It would be almost 3 weeks until the part would be in. We patiently waited for our part and were finally notified (it was a few days past 3 weeks) that the part was in.
By this time an entire month had passed but I was confident that it would fix the problem. Well, that has had no effect on the performance at all. I called and was told that I was to set up another appointment to have someone else come out and see what is going on. I was told I have a "service only" warranty so I was not entitled to new fridge even though I feel we were given a defective product.

I purchased a Gallery Series refrigerator 2 1/2 years ago. I've had to have it serviced three times. The first time was about 1 1/2 years after I purchased it because the water filter kept freezing and cracking so water would leak all over the inside and out the bottom. After pulling it out and taking the ice maker apart (which is located in the upper left side of the refrigerator part) the service technician said there was nothing wrong and there was no way it would have cracked had I changed it every year as recommended. What does that have to do with it freezing? And guess what... I changed it every 4 to 6 month because we drink A LOT of water and once I start tasting the different or the filter change light comes on, I changed it.
The second time was about 8 months after that and it was because it would take an entire day to make one tray of ice. After the service technician spent about an hour looking at it he determined that we open the freezer too much which causes the freezer temperature to go too far above the "set" temperature which in turn causes the ice maker to shut off. Really? It's just me (who works all day) and two teenagers who are NEVER home so who's been opening it too much? For a few months after that I would just buy bags of ice and put it in the ice bin... The ice maker has not made much ice since then.
This last service call took place after we returned from a week long vacation. We got home and I went grocery shopping and stocked the refrigerator. A few days later I woke up to the refrigerator making a loud, rattling noise. I called the repair man and he said someone had to have left the doors open because the entire line from the ice maker is frozen. Then he proceeded to tell me that there is no automatic defrost on my unit.
After a few choice words he went to his truck and made a phone call... I thought he was calling the police but when he came back in the house he said he was wrong and there is an automatic defrost on my unit and the heating element and the defrosting coils are bad and I need to have them replaced. Of course it is going to cost me another $70 service call PLUS $330 for the parts and labor but the best part is that they can not get the parts until Monday... Today is Wednesday. Really?
I have 5-6 days to get this fixed AND I can't leave my refrigerator on because #1 - it has to defrost so he can get to the parts that have to be replaced and #2 - it is so loud now that you can hear it through-out the house. I contacted Frigidaire and they basically said my warranty has expired but they would give me 10% off the cost of any new part needed. What about the two previous service calls? What about the food that I just purchased? What about the stress of dealing with a faulty product?
So as I sit here with coolers stacked around my kitchen trying to salvage some of the $246 worth of food I just purchased I have to wonder, how did he know it was the heating element and defrosting coils since he originally said it was the compressor "working overtime" because someone left the doors open and why in the hell won't Frigidaire take ownership of this piece of crap product? I will never purchase another Frigidaire product and I will make sure ALL friends and family are aware of the poor product and even worse customer service.

We've never had Frigidaire appliances until Nov 2014 when we bought a house that had just been furnished with FOUR brand new, stainless steel Frigidaire appliances. (A stove, 2 refrigerators and a dishwasher.) All of these appliances still had stickers and tags from being purchased and had never been used. The dishwasher did not work from the very beginning. It would not fill with water. After repairmen came 3 times to fix it, it is finally working now. One of the refrigerators had the compressor go out on it and we lost all the food in the fridge/freezer. The icemaker went out on the other freezer and we had to have the repairman look at it because it is so LOUD, although he said there's nothing he could do about it. (Keep in mind, these are appliances that are less than a year old and have only been in use for 5 months.)
We had someone come to repair the stove because the oven causes the stovetop to get SO HOT that it will burn your hand if you have something you are trying to cook on the eyes of the stovetop. That is because the stupid thing vents out of the top, right onto the surface of the stovetop. So if your oven is set to 400 degrees, guess what the temperature is when you reach over to stir the pot on the stove? 400 degrees. The entire stove unit gets so hot that it trips the safety feature on our electrical outlets on that wall. So when I use my oven, the electricity for the whole wall will shut off because the outlets assume the house must be on fire for that much heat to be generated. It is absolutely the stupidest, most horrible design I could imagine and the repairman that came out to look at it told us he gets called out all the time for Frigidaire stoves because people think they're faulty/fire hazards, but that is actually how they are designed to work.
As I sit here right now with all the contents of my refrigerator/freezer scattered across my kitchen in coolers while we wait another week for the compressor to come so the repairman can come back to fix it, (if you add up all the time involved in what I just described you will see we are going WEEKS without this refrigerator and having to live out of coolers)... I just cannot emphasize strongly enough how much I HATE Frigidaire appliances.
They had 4 chances to prove to me they can make a decent product with the 4 appliances in this house and every one of them has been a horror to deal with. Absolutely horrible. I don't even understand how they are still in business selling junk like this. (And I get angrier and angrier every time I see my poor dad, who lives in the downstairs part of our house with the refrigerator that is currently not working, having to dig through coolers to find his cancer medication because he has bone cancer and it's no picnic for him to have to bend and do that.)
If you CALL Frigidaire and complain they will tell you their warranty will take care of it for you... but they definitely don't consider or give a crap about how inconvenient it is for people who paid a lot of money for appliances not to have them to use because they don't work properly. They should be forced to pay us back for all the time and effort and energy exerted having to deal with their faulty, poorly-built products... not to mention the time off of work we all have to take to make sure someone is home when the steady stream of repairmen come and go from this house. It is awful... awful. I wish I didn't have to even put the one star on this review because I don't want to give them one star.

Over $200.00 later, we find out the main board is shot and they won't fix this because they take too long and they inevitably get the wrong part from the manufacturer. Got ahold of the manufacturer to get a name of a service repair person that will actually work on their product. They are paying for replacement parts but labor is on us. While that is a nice gesture, we didn't buy a major appliance so that it could only last a year. From what I have read, this is a continuous problem with this brand.

Problems did not end there however. She also bought a Frigidaire dishwasher and the door stops have given out permitting the access door to open too far. When withdrawing to lower dish rack, the dishes fall out of place colliding with each other unless great care is taken to ease the rack out from the washer itself. In addition the Frigidaire stove purchased at the same time has had its own problems, the oven occasionally shutting itself off when attempting to cook roasts etc.
The burner racks were also equipped with plastic "feet" which routinely fall out leaving the bare cast iron to directly contact the upper surface of the stove and promoting scratching of the finished surface. Replacement feet were sent but there's nothing to prevent this from happening repeatedly. Faulty design!!! Along with all the faulty designs and faulty engineering which seem prevalent in all their products. Stay away!!! Never again for me!!!

Eight months ago we bought a Frigidaire 26 cu' ft. Gallery Series refrigerator. It cost us $1500. We bought Frigidaire because it had a Sabbath mode feature. In the past, our experience with Frigidaire had been positive. Since we got it delivered, we have not had a month where this refrigerator has operated properly. Right after installation we tried to set the Sabbath mode, and the refrigerator immediately showed an error message on the display. We couldn't get it to respond and go back to normal settings. We tried to call customer service, but they were closed. Because the display wasn't working, we didn't know that the fridge had stopped working.
Later that evening, we had to scramble to put the food from this refrigerator into our small back-up fridge. Frigidaire sent out a tech to repair it and they replaced the display. It had shorted out. It also tripped our breaker. Then we noticed that the foods on the left side of the refrigerator were freezing. We have had more than half a dozen service calls to address this problem. Along with a problem of freezing foods in the deli keeper and fruit and vegetable crisper drawers. They fixed the area behind the deli drawer by closing the air intake with a gasket. The cheeses and fruits and vegetables still freeze in the deli and crisper draws. It's set down to warmest setting.
Last week they replaced the motherboard of the refrigerator telling us that it would fix the freezing in the refrigerator problem. It still freezes food, now the right side is also very cold and the refrigerator is set at 39 degrees, 2 degrees higher than recommended. We also have a persistent problem of water coming from under the refrigerator. First the water line to the ice maker and water filter burst and need to be fixed. Frigidaire sent a tech and replaced it, and it still leaks. Then they said it was from the refrigerator defrosting, because of the problem with the motherboard. and the drain pan, which is totally inaccessible, was probably overflowing.
The tech came again and said there was a problem with the fittings that had been put in when the line was replaced, not with the drain pan. They fixed them, but I still had a flood on the floor when the water to the ice maker was turned on. We turned it off, but we still have water on the floor and we can't use the ice maker and filtered water feature.
The repair techs came out twice this week to see why it still was leaking. Turns out it was leaking from inside the refrigerator cabinet, which is a sealed unit. Now the service tech told me that Frigidaire wants him to replace a pipe inside this sealed unit. The water goes from one side of the refrigerator to a valve on the other side which also was leaking. The tech department thinks it'll fix the leak, but my refrigerator is still freezing the food and I still can't use the ice maker or filtered water dispenser.
We recently had a plumbing repair, and our plumber said there was water leaking under the house from the area directly under the refrigerator. We had a water mitigation company come out and found out that there is over $5000 in damage and mold in the areas around and under the refrigerator, as well as under the house. We filed a claim with Frigidaire for the damage.
Frigidaire knows that this refrigerator has had multiple problems that still haven't been adequately repaired even after multiple attempts. Their customer service department is not to be able to communicate with their tech department to explain the problems we've had with this refrigerator. They won't replace this problem refrigerator unless their tech department, which only authorized repair techs can reach says that the refrigerator can't be repaired. Meanwhile we're stuck with food freezing and a daily water puddle to clean up. Because of our negative experience with Frigidaire over this refrigerator, we can't recommend Frigidaire as a reliable brand to purchase.

After only 6 months, my ice maker stopped working. I called and had a repairman come and he concluded that the fan and ice maker needed to be replaced. After waiting for nearly two months, the parts finally came in. Replacement was completed and even with new parts, the ice maker is still not working. I called the repair facility back the next day and they never returned my call. I called Frigidaire and filed a complaint. They stated they would have another repair facility contact me to repair the problem ice maker. I haven't heard back from anyone. Not only does the ice maker not work, the unit has a loud low humming noise when running. I am very dissatisfied not only with the unit but with the lack of response from Frigidaire.

My 1 1/2 year old refrigerator caught on fire from a faulty switch and almost killed me and burned my house down. Luckily I live two blocks from the fire station so they came and got it under control quickly. When I try to have the store repair it, they said it was Frigidaire problem but they called and had Frigidaire send someone out who charged me $75.00. Then they said it would cost me another $450.00 for a new condenser and switch and they would pay for the parts. I thought someone was lying to me, a company couldn't possibly be that stupid. So I called them myself, think easy fix, happy customer, no problem. No one was lying to me - Frigidaire could not care less about their customers or their safety.
Why should I pay for their substandard and hazardous work and equipment? And they had to know they had bad switches because there are more stories online about how this company could care less whose lives and homes they risk as long as they get their money. (I wish I saw before I bought - but only read Consumer Report). So it's off on a campaign to try to make sure no one die from this company's crap. They should have just fixed my problem and kept me ignorant, thinking it was some type of fluke or bad luck on me. Now I know this company is seriously bad news.

Frigidaire 18 ft capacity 2013 Refrigerator - My dismay at how many other frustrating experiences others have had with this same company. I bought my refrigerator from Best Buy, with all that it takes to clean-out-fill-up-move-about to get it inside kitchen in Nov. 2013. Before 9 mo. of 'new' use, the temp was too high, and online info said should be colder but mine was not. I called w/in warranty time and repairman came out, did not want me to watch him inspect, and decided a new thermostat would fix problem. Another week-and-half, he returns, puts in 2 screws and thinks problem has been solved. Done. But 3 mo. later again, the temp is high.
Now at coldest setting possible, refrigerator reads 44 degrees and the local LA service place is giving me a hard time because it is 'out of warranty'. Already? Even if the repair was so temporary? And the Best Buy store has low-pay-know-nothing employees who refer me to the Frigidaire website, which lists an automatic recorded # for Electrolux and carefully shields its employees from complainers, lemon-buyers, and fully-paid-out purchased unhappy consumers. What to do now?
I would love to know if anyone has taken whatever it takes for a Lemon Law that is for appliances, not autos. Or what to do since I am scared I will have to dispose of all-in freezer, fridge when it goes out as if the highest coldest is 44 - how soon is "out" the next step ? Frustrated at being dismissed and feeling cheated, when buying a brand new Frigidaire...and oh yes, the plastic tray over the bins cracked for no reason. I can fathom already 2" and it has remained 'dented' from a gal. of milk too. Huh? Repairman said "that is not under warranty" and I should not have so much food in fridge...huh? Where should I put it and why did I pay for a refrigerator that is already distorted, and warming up, as the world turns? Yes, I have computer receipt only.

FFHS2611LWF - Purchased a Frigidaire refrigerator/freezer less than a year ago. Two issues have been repaired since purchase was made. I am now waiting for a repair on the icemaker again. Given appointment date and time, no show, because the new icemaker had not come in. How did the repairman know a new icemaker was required when he had not examined the product? Was told he knew what the problem was as they had made numerous repairs on the icemakers in the Frigidaire refrigerators. I have come to the conclusion that the company knows that they are selling defective refrigerator/freezers to unsuspecting consumers.
Talked with the company and was basically told I should buy a bag of ice and wait for the new icemaker (part) to come in. Asked the company's service personnel if she would want to do that, she said she was talking about me, not her, and that upon receipt of the part, a repairman would set up another appointment to come out to service the unit. I have been without ice for over a week. I will never buy any appliances from Lowe's, who said there was nothing they could do about selling a defective product as they only offer a warranty on the product for a year. It would be up to the manufacturer to replace the product. So Lowe's or Frigidaire will never ever be able to sell anything to me.

What began as a nuisance with the beeping noise as if the refrigerator was open turned into a very frightening experience. Our refrigerator s/n241691315, serial 4464821523, model PHLS68EESB6 had a MAJOR electrical short and the interior literally melted from the internal fire! All this while we where asleep. If not by the grace of God, the consequences could have been catastrophic. When the interior melted the door sealed shut containing the fire inside the unit!! We reported the incident too... and were told to hire one of their recognized service companies.
We did and their report concluded a major electrical defect. The refrigerator outlet was not singed or burned in any way. The fire was completely CONTAINED INSIDE THE UNIT. Frigidaire has refused to do anything about the incident stating the unit was beyond the warranty period. Apparently the beeping door complication is very documented. Google this topic for further information. DON'T THINK OF IT AS MINOR, and do not count on Frigidaire to stand behind their product!

Installed 1/14/15 and also brought wheels which I had requested b/c I did not get when delivered. Still is very loud, East Coast advised me to have Frigidaire Tech check out. Also, Frigidaire said I had to have one of their techs come out too.
First Company they scheduled was Quality Appliance Ches, VA. Never heard from them, I called Quality and said mailbox full, looked up and tried a diff number and got a furn store. 2nd Company was Fedders, same thing, never heard and never showed up. Third Company sched was Anthony's, Suffolk, VA and again - no call no show. Now this phoncon to Frigidaire (approx 6-7), kept me on phone for 41 mins. Spoke to supervisor and NOW SHE says OH, East Coast is on their list.... So Same Tech came today - called Frigidaire Techs and they advised him to order a new Compressor.
Now, I understand that YES, they are trying to fix, but this is ridiculous. I called today 2/18/15 and spoke with a corporate manager and she said they would again have to repair. I am not happy with all this repairing, considering I purchased a NEW appliance in the box - not a scratch and dent. There was also a crack in one of the drawers which she placed an order for today. I also noticed after tech left, freezer is not closing tightly (no suction). Frig door does - big difference between the two. I will also need to deal with East Coast, due to them denting (big dent) on right side and chip in the floor.

Called Home Depot who told me that Frigidaire was in charge of 1st year warranty problems (they blew me off after I purchased a 3 year protection plan). Frigidaire then sent out a contracted service repairman who tinkered with the machine and declared it fixed. Ran two more washes and it malfunctioned the same way on the 3rd wash. Contracted repairman refused to come back to my house because he was "Afraid of not getting paid."
After numerous phone calls between Frigidaire and repairman, he ordered the wrong part twice and in 1 month's time, finally got the correct part in and installed it. Ran 1 wash and then the same rinse cycle problem occurs again. Frigidaire says repairman is not following their "correct" procedure to declare it irreparable and can not do anything until he does. He gets argumentative and does nothing. I am stuck with a washing machine that I have had for 2 1/2 months and used 5 times. No one wants to be proactive and do something about the issue.

We purchased a Frigidaire Professional top mount refrigerator; model number FPH12188PF4, on September 13, 2014. On Christmas day the unit stopped cooling. The next day we called Frigidaire and they gave us the names of 3 local companies to repair the unit. The soonest a repairman could come out would be December 29. On the first visit, we were told there was no frost pattern and there was a restriction in the line. He had to order a dye dryer so they could locate and clear the restriction out of the unit. It could not be repaired that day.
The follow-up visit occurred on January 6. A different repairman (same company) serviced a leak in the sealed system by replacing the evaporator and filter dryer and also filled it up with Freon. He stated that there was full frost pattern. He told us in 24 - 36 hours we could put food in unit. However, the next day it still was not cooling. The temperature inside was 70 degrees including freezer section. We called again and the repairman came out on January 8. He stated that the freon had all leaked out again. He contacted a Frigidaire technician and told them what he had done to fix the leak and it was still leaking.
The Frigidaire technician said that the leak must be inside the walls of the unit and told the repairman that the unit is repairable and explained what he needs to do fix the problem. The technician told the repairman these are the steps he needs to do to repair the unit: Drill 2 holes in the back of the freezer area in order to insert new tubing that will connect the evaporator to the condenser in order to bypass the tubing that they believe is leaking freon. This tubing will run on the outside of the back of the refrigerator adding an approximate 6 inches to the depth of the unit. When that is completed they will seal the holes with putty so that no cold air will escape.
Going through the front of the freezer section they will access inside and insert an electric heater that will be in addition to the current heating element that is in place in the back of the freezer for defrosting. I have no idea what this extra heaters function is but I will ask. When the repairman left, we contacted Frigidaire and spoke with a customer service representative and then ultimately a supervisor. We expressed our disappointment of purchasing a new refrigerator and have these problems occur only 3 months after purchase. Not only have we been without a refrigerator for approximately 3 weeks, we were told it could be another week or more before parts come in. The supervisor stated that they would not replace the unit as it is deemed repairable.
This is where we draw the line and feel that Frigidaire should replace the unit for a number of reasons. These are ALTERATIONS and not REPAIRS. You’re bypassing a leak, not fixing it. These ALTERATIONS negate your advertised estimated yearly operating cost ($43) because of the additional heating element being installed. By adding 6 inches to the depth of the unit, it is no longer the refrigerator that we purchased. When shopping for a refrigerator we took into consideration every inch possible and purchased a unit that would give us the maximum amount of CU. FT in the space that we have. This unit will no longer fit that space the way we want it to fit.
You are essentially creating a refurbished refrigerator. That is NOT what we paid for! We paid for a NEW refrigerator. If you were replacing a part that is original to the working mechanics of the unit and in the same place then we would agree with you that the unit is repairable. The place where we bought this refrigerator (Grants Appliances) went out of business 2 months after our purchase. This refrigerator should be replaced, not altered to work.

We bought the Frigidaire Gallery package from HH Gregg three years ago, the ice maker is very noisy and usually drop about 20 ice cubes every time you push the lever. We have learned to deal with this. The shelving started cracking after the first year and now all hanging drawers are cracked and even the track holding the drawers have fallen apart. I talked to customer service last year and asked if they could give me a break on the drawers and shelves and they would only give me a 15% discount. I told them this was not very good customer service since clearly there is a quality issue with this product. My old refrigerator (GE) was placed in my garage. It is 17 years old and not one crack in anything and also went through three children. I am writing this now because the microwave is now junk as well after 3 years, should have kept the old one we replaced that worked fine for 10 years. This line is pure junk, looks good, it's all smoke and mirrors from there.

I bought 6 refrigerators... model number LGHT2137LE6 from Lowe's for an apartment building 2 years ago. To date 3 of the 6 fridge handles have snapped off where they connect to the top of the door. The tenants were professional women who in no way were abusing the door handles. Frigidaire clearly has a defective product. They offered me 10% off but still charge $37 for the replacement handles. Upon further research have learned of Frigidaire's very low rating in the appliance business... Stay away from Frigidaire!!!

I purchased refrigerator with top freezer from Lowe's May 2013. In Dec 2014 refrigerator stop working. I called Frigidaire. They was going to cover the parts only, so I asked could I buy the extended warranty which would cover both parts and labor they said yes $85 for 2 years. Original labor charges would have been $60 to $100. I saved this by purchasing warranty. Frigidaire C.S. placed a service call for repairs to one of their contractors and my appointment was on a Friday. That person said they could not fix, so someone from their office will be contacting me.
On the following Monday someone will be out. On Tuesday they arrived they did not say what repairs they made but from the sound they used Freon. He said let run for 12 hours. I put a cup of water in freezer it iced up but not frozen. On Wednesday I called contractor left several messages no ret advised call back. On Thursday so corresponded Frigidaire C.S. they said because my warranty was setup on a special session. I spoke with someone in a different dept, I explained the above circumstances. I was told that I had to wait until I get a response from the original contractor. I was also advised from C.S if I did not get a response by Friday call back on Monday.
It's Monday call Frigidaire C.S. told them still no response. They called contractor only got three answers machine. I was told again that I could not be setup with another service until the original contractor contact me or them. Now am mad at end of rope. I decided to call Frigidaire again finally talked to a representative that had some common sense and switch me to another contractor. Now they can't come out until Friday. Week 3 it was determined a part need to be ordered. It will take 3 days to come in. Contractor told me that they was back up 3 weeks. My blood pressure is now elevated. I will never buy another product from Frigidaire. My refrigerator worked while it last, in addition to their lousy warranty and services. It's has now been almost a month still no fixed refrigerator. Am going back to Kenmore. Great service.

July 2011, purchase french door stainless steel refrigerator. Beautiful, piece of crap!! The ice machine works sometimes, had to purchase an extended warranty or the amount of parts and time the serviceman has put in, it would have exceeded the cost of the appliance. Have not had any ice for 5 months, none!! It makes this popcorn sound. That's to make you think that it might make ice.

I checked out the reviews just to see if others were having the same issues that I am having. Then decided to also write a review. I have a side by side. Bought the extended and extended it again. Under warranty, had the repairmen out twice for freezer issues. Had 2 door shelves replaced. More door shelves broke under extended warranty, but company does not replace under extended warranty. Extended warranty past and don't want to waste money buying more. Taped up with duct tape, but does not hold well. Exorbitant price to replace cheap plastic shelves. Some knobs holding crisper drawer and freezer shelves broke out of frig wall. Last year, wall of frig side developed 13-inch crack. Frig still running. Can't afford new one. Made cheaply. Will never buy Frigidaire again.

The only problems were the door and internal shelves that broke after a couple of years. Upon inspection, the door shelves were made of very thin brittle plastic. Replaced one for $60 dollars and patched the others that had cracks with Cold Weld. Meanwhile, the bottom internal shelf (also made with thin plastic) that holds two compartments underneath broke as well. Once again, with a small steel plate and Cold Weld, fixed it. Finally, today 30 December 14, with New Year's Eve on our mind, the refrigerator side can only reach a temperature of 52 degrees; the normal operating temperature is 34 degrees.
On the bright side, the freezer side is fully operational but the ice maker has rust; I guess they have not thought about using aluminum brackets. It has only been seven years and $1,000 dollars later. I remembered my dad's refrigerator lasting about 20 years, but that was when we upgraded to a side-by-side. That old refrigerator was still operational when they picked it up. I guess seven years of service is not too bad.
