Kip ** have a Frigidaire refrigerator model # ffhs2622ms3 for about 3 years, also at the same time got a dishwasher that broke down about 8/10/15. I called Frigidaire at their 800# and after several times trying to get the right option I finally got to talk to a customer service representative. He referred me to one company that repairs Frigidaire. The tech came out and told us what was wrong with the fridge and, dishwasher. He stated that it would take 3 days to get the parts.
3 days later I received a call from that company and I was told that the tech quit and he was the only one that can work the refrigerator. So back to calling Frigidaire, another hour or so with them. Another company called (ANR Appliance). Two days later Frigidaire calls me and told me that their tech can't work on it, because of too many bugs!! And Frigidaire out of Georgia backed them up on their statement about the bugs. Whatever happened to helping the customer? In my opinion Frigidaire DOES NOT WANT TO BACK THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY! So my brother went to Sears and was treated with the utmost respect with 5 year warranty, plus with a lot of extras.

We purchased our Frigidaire refrigerator model number FGHS2655PF4 in January 2014. By September 2014, it stopped working. Although it was covered under warranty, it took 3 weeks for a repairman to get out here and then another 2 weeks for the compressor to come in. The compressor was replaced but we still continue to have major problems with the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer. No matter what temp we put the refrigerator at everything freezes. Right now the temperature is set at 44 and half the items were still frozen. I HATE this product and the customer service from Frigidaire is absolutely HORRIBLE. I will NEVER buy another Frigidaire product again!!!

I bought a Frigidaire Refrigerator from Conn's Sugarland in Oct 2015. Since 2 solid months my refrigerator was not functioning. I lost more than 25,00 Dollar food. The Frigidaire representative came and messed up the Fridge more. Conn's rep came 3 times already. I lost many days of work. I am a disabled person now. Yesterday's temp is 47 and 62. (Freezer and Fridge). As of today neither Frigidaire or Conn's has replaced my refrigerator. Conn's has charged me almost 500 in extra warranty, unemployment insurance and many more. Please do the needful ASAP.

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 bought through Home Depot online a 10 cu. ft. Top Refrigerator Model FFTR1022QW on April 5th, 2015 for one of my condos. I have had this unit break down 4 times now, all with the same problems. Fridge will not get cold... Electrolux is the company in which I have to call for service. After 1/4 to1/2 hour waits to talk to someone, usually it takes a week to 10 days before they send someone out. My tenant has been without a cold fridge about as much it worked. Electrolux says it is only a repair warranty. I say I have a lemon. Will never buy or recommend Frigidaire. I am even willing to buy a more expensive one.

Purchased all new appliances for kitchen 12/1/2014. Fridge started acting up in March. Ice maker doesn't shut off so runs until it sounds like it is burning motor up. You have to manually shut ice maker off on outside of fridge and turn it on when you want ice. The motor on the fridge runs loud as well which is not normal. Some days you hear it and other times it is quiet. They scheduled an appt. The tech was no call, no show. Frigidaire never followed up on him or with me. I called again several times when my dishwasher broke a few months later. I am still trying unsuccessfully to get them both fixed and my one-year warranty isn't even up.

I wish I'd seen this website before I purchased two Frigidaire refrigerators. Purchased 6/23/15. Broke after 25 days. It's August 17 and still broken. The part needed is on back order. Frigidaire needs to go out of business or make a complete turnaround in quality and customer service. What good is a warranty if there is no time limit for repairing appliances. Our last refrigerators lasted 20 years. Please also do not purchase from Pacific Sales. Their advice was to buy another refrigerator. No loaner offered. Nothing.

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. So, they offered me a extended warranty for $270, which they originally said would cost $200. Well, I purchase the extended warranty, and a technician cannot service the product for 2 weeks. Now, if you have a family with children and live in Arizona, you would think a refrigerator would be needed and to be without would really be difficult. I am angry this company would sell a product that can't even work for a couple years, and they can't even get it fixed in a reasonable amount of time. This is the second refrigerator that has failed me over recent 5 years.

My Frigidaire Gallery series fridge is just 2 years old. The plastic is breaking everywhere (bins, clips to housing and support brackets that have sliders supporting drawers), interior fridge housing is showing major stress cracking. I purchased an extended warranty with the knowledge that if the unit is not repairable (interior housing is not), then I get a replacement fridge. Frigidaire is now telling me they won't replace it even with an extended warranty. I'm in the middle of a fight with them to stand behind their product and do the right thing. (I didn't even mention that the ice unit is rusting out as well.)

This is the most insane experience with a company I have faced. We bought our new Frigidaire Refrigerator in February and in July it died (inverter and mainboard issues). I have spent nearly 20 hours on the phone trying to solve this problem. The inverter is backordered and expected to arrive sometime in October. They want me to live my life (with two newborns) for over two months without a fridge or freezer. I'm blown away at the lack of quality of these appliances, poor customer service and ridiculous expectations that I will be okay without a fridge/freezer for an entire season. Unreal. I have never been so outraged by a company as Frigidaire.

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!! Oh and also they did offer to completely replace my unit - BUT THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE DELIVERY OR SET UP FOR A PRODUCT THAT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET REPAIRED. I will not ever buy another Frigidaire product.

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 started having a problem one month after the warranty was up. I was lucky because I had purchased the extended warranty. I have had the icemaker replaced 4 times, that didn't work. They replaced a water valve, installed a heater kit and that didn't work. Now I get bulk ice and not ice cubes. I purchased the refrigerator in July 2011. My service man has tried to call warranty and tell them he deems the unit as unrepairable, he gets the run around.

Purchased an expensive Frigidaire Gallery. As soon as the short one year warranty expired, it no longer would make ice or dispense water. Technicians tell me it is a known defect that has no fix. Frigidaire customer service has been nothing but a waste of effort. I have called repeatedly for months now, and am told parts are on the way to fix my refrigerator, to then be told there are no parts on the way. It has been nothing but a frustrating expenditure of time and effort to repeat my story over and over, and am told conflicting things, and nothing ever happens. Do not purchase this product as it has a defect, only surpassed by the company's refusal to offer any solutions. If you already purchased, and have similar experience, contact me at ** as I am considering filing a class action lawsuit. Nothing else seems to get their attention.

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.

We purchased a Frigidaire gas range and refrigerator from Lowe's in May of 2015. We have already had a repair person for the range here because a burner wouldn't light. We absolutely hate our refrigerator and trying to get a repair person here to repair it is unbelievable. The stove repairman said "I only do stoves". The refrigerator door doesn't shut unless you manually shut it, the door squeaks when you open and shut it. When it turns on it has a rattle like eggs boiling in a pan. I wish we had our old Kenmore back as there was nothing wrong with it - just went stainless steel not beige.

Frigidaire referred me to First Class Appliance to have unit repaired. On 7/8/2015 First Class reported 3 different parts need to be replaced on fridge: motherboard, ice dispenser, temperature sensors. 7/24/2015 parts still not available and Frigidaire says there is nothing they can do about maintenance company, they will not reimburse for food, they will not take back the defective fridge. I have to wait until 7/29/2015 when parts may be available but according to Frigidaire, if the parts are still not available, I will have to wait until they do become available. With food spoiling potentially harming my family, this should not be the case.

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. I recommend that no buys from the company Frigidaire because you will have nothing but problems with their appliances.

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.

My French Door bottom freezer Frigidaire refrigerator which I purchased less than two years ago suddenly quit working two days ago and displayed an error code SY CF on the screen.

We purchased a Frigidaire Side-by-Side with ice in the door. Number one, it is only a year and a half old and the freezer is icing up but besides that, we had a problem with the ice maker not making ice. 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. So we called Frigidaire back and was told they would send a new ice maker and that was easy to change them out. That was July 2014. Now it is July 2015 and the ice maker is not making ice again. 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. If anyone can assist me, please call **. Frigidaire 30 years ago was a good brand. We are building a new house and I can guarantee that none of my appliances will have the Frigidaire name on it.

Our family is extremely disappointed in the customer service we received on Friday, July 10, 2015. After purchasing our refrigerator only seven months ago, we were shocked to find that it was not working. When we called customer service and spoke to a representative, she told us that no one could come out until the following week Thursday. My wife, very imprudently, told her that my mother needed a refrigerator immediately because she is diabetic and undergoing chemotherapy treatments. We rely heavily on the refrigerator for her medications.
The customer representative was at first understanding however as the conversation ensued she became more and more impatient. We were told we had to follow up with the contracting company ourselves. We do admit that we allowed our frustrations to get the better of us but to have us call the contracting company and make arrangements is totally unacceptable. When we did call the contracting company, they told us they could have someone here immediately. We will never be purchasing something from this company again.

About 4 years ago, we purchased a high end Gallery Series Frigidaire refrigerator. Within the first year, the ice maker went out in the door and the control pad on the door stopped working. It was right when the 12-month warranty ended. Frigidaire after repeated calls agreed to pay for parts but no labor. So I had it repaired. The ice maker never worked again. Repairman said it could not be fixed. Now the freezer will not hold a freezing temperature, keeps fluctuating between 15 and 30 degrees. This has by far been the worst refrigerator we have ever had.

Out of warranty. I asked to purchase a new icemaker drawer with the metal components. I was told they would not sell it to me because I am not a licensed contractor. I would have to use one of their service vendors.
Now, they did offer to sell me a one year or a 2 year warranty, and then they would give the part just this once after I also paid their contractor to come out and replace it. Said that I may not know how to put in a ice maker container correctly and would ruin the integrity of their product. What a joke. I will never ever buy any of their products again. I'm sorry that I didn't insist on taking appliances from our last home. :( I did find a local appliance company that actually keeps these in stock. And can you believe I can "install" it myself.

Styrofoam and wires were frozen into the ice in the ice maker. We had an extended warranty so we called on May 29th, 2015. They said we would have our refrigerator fixed within 3 to 14 days. It is now June 29th and we still don't have a refrigerator and can't get any answers from Frigidaire on when we might get it fixed.

I will never buy anything through Frigidaire again. Purchased a refrigerator at Conns and two years after my purchase the refrigerator caught on fire. Conns told me to file a insurance claim and that didn't do anything. And now I have called Frigidaire and they haven't did anything either. So my advice is to never buy anything at Conns and don't buy Frigidaire products because if anything happens you won't get help from either companies.

I bought a condo in Mid-April/2015 from 1st owner. Occupancy in the building started in Dec/2014. 1st owner never resided there. He was even overseas at the time of the deal. 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. It seemed that the workman applied excessive force when putting the screw in during the manufacturing process. The consequence is that the handle will come off one day when the crack extends to the other side of the screw.
I sent email to Frigidaire on 13/6/2015. There was an Auto reply from Electrolux saying that someone will contact me in 2 business days. Having heard nothing till 18/6/2015, I called the company and spoke to a lady who did not answer my question properly. Quite on the contrary, she said that the warranty covered only the 1st owner. I disagreed and told her that I was not 1st owner of the condo but being the 1st owner of the fridge, I should be honoured the warranty of the product. Counting from the Occupancy date which was Dec/2014, the fridge should still be under warranty and the company had to replace the door handle on-site.
The lady did not take my words and just told me to write to the Customer Service Dept. I did that on same day. Again, another auto-reply popped up saying someone would contact me in 2 days. Once again, no phone call or email received regarding my complaint. So I sent a 3rd email on 23/6/2015 with same auto-reply but as usual nothing was heard till late afternoon today. I am really frustrated about the customer service of Frigidaire. It actually did not exist at all. I just need to know if my fridge is still under warranty and what will be done about the door handle.

My fridge stop blowing cold air on Memorial Day exactly one year after purchasing. The temp went up to 60 degrees. Lost $200 worth of groceries? The next day called Frigidaire to set up service. After (2) service tech appts, it's the compressor. Third service call, they replaced the compressor. Everything seemed fine. Filled it again. $200 later, it stops blowing cold air?

The part in the box was not the right part? Sixth service call, brought the right part? Installed it and fridge will not blow cold. I'm putting the fridge on the back porch.

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.
I have call the company's customer service and they have dozens of stock responses that make the customer feel somehow guilty of misusing these wretched appliances. I asked them if anyone else has had problems similar to mine and they told me I was the first call they've had with these issues. Well I didn't believe them so I looked online. And boy did I find hundreds of similar complaints so now I ask, who wants to join me in bringing a class action suit against Frigidaire? You can contact me at **.

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?

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

When it arrived, the delivery guys plug them in. They seem fine, the fridge motor was running. Within that week, I had to go out of town for on a family emergency. When I return, I notice the fridge was not working nor was it staying cooling. I called Lowe's Store and spoke to the Manager, he informed me that because I had purchase the fridge over thirty {30} day, he could not replace it because FRIGIDAIRE would not give him credit for it. That I should call their 8007247519 for a service man to come out and see what the problem is.
I did and ** the service man came and stated there was a leak. He called it into the Tech at Electrolux. ** instructed me to call back customer service Rep and state my concerns that I needs the replacement of a new refrigerator because I have not used it, and this problem is looking like a defective refrigerator they brought to me. I call the customer service and spoke with Rep **. She claim the service man ** did not do his job and she called him and re-schedule him to return on Tuesday April 28 between 8 am-12 pm to finish the work - Tuesday at noon, they saw no **. I called and spoke with Supervisor **, she tried to make excuse but it was documented by **. The Supervisor place me on hold and called ** the service man, then he called me and made the excuse that his truck broke down.
He arrive at 2 pm, some two hours pass the appointed time. He placed a meter on the and said there is no Gas [freon] in the unit and they need to order it. Furthermore, it could take several days to order and get the part. I am so upset, restated my concerns to ** that this refrigerator has too problems and needs to be replace with a new one. But she declare that she was the Corporation manage and there would be no replacement. This is a nightmare. I need help, what is my next step?

This unit is defective. We have owned this unit just less than a year. It has been broken numerous times. This is the fourth time now. And the warranty is running out. This unit should be replaced or our money should be refunded. I was given a number to call... 800-456-4699 and guess what... You can't reach this company from this number, it goes to a dating service. WTF!!! We are going to turn this over to our legal services company for legal action. We have lost in wages lost and food loss of over this incident of over 2000.00. We have to take off of work and wait for a service company to come out and maybe they will show, and maybe they won't.

My new fridge sounds like an air compressor when it goes into defrost cycle. A service rep tried all kinds of adjustments. He ordered a part and after installing it, there was no difference. I continued to complain. Frigidaire will do nothing for me. There must be some sort of consumer protection so you are warned about noise when you buy, not once you take delivery. If there is someone I can call to have Frigidaire take this product back, I would appreciate finding out who to contact. Thank you.

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.

Our Frigidaire Gallery Refrigerator quit working after 1 year and 2 months. It was just outside of warranty. We called several repair people and nobody would work on this refrigerator. Finally got ahold of a repair man that would attempted to fix it but had no luck. 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.

We bought this refrigerator less than a year ago at our local Lowe's store. We redid our kitchen and just wanted a prettier refrigerator that would go better with the decor. What a horrible mistake! This refrigerator is so loud!!! But, just sometimes. Sometimes it runs quietly as it is suppose to operate. Three repairmen have been here, two have heard how loud it is. Finally the third repairman told us that this is just the way this model operates! If we want a quieter refrigerator, we need to get a larger refrigerator!!! What is that all about??? Why did they not tell us this at Lowe's? The model number is: LFHT2117NF5 and the serial number is 4A42313063. It is just the two of us, we do not need a huge refrigerator.
I can tell you now that I am saving up for a new refrigerator and it will not be a FRIGIDAIRE! Had we known about the loudness of this refrigerator, we would have bought a larger one, but no one told us. Frigidaire did rip us off once, but EVER again.

I purchased a brand new refrigerator 2 years ago. It is in a clean environment and cared for properly. It has broken twice in the last 12 months. Thank goodness, the first time was 3 days before the original warranty expired. I have had to continue purchasing extended warranties just to ensure that my brand new fridge will not die on me. I have spent weeks waiting for my fridge to be fixed and have lost hundreds in food. If there is such a thing as a lemon for a fridge, I have one. I called Frigidaire with my frustrations and was met with no resolution on their part. All I wanted was my next 1 year warranty free of cost for all of my troubles. They will not cover the $40 expense and I have to unless I want to buy a new fridge next year when it breaks again. They have lost a lifetime buyer and my recommendation to future buyers for a measly $40.

My wife bought a very expensive "top of the line" Frigidaire freezer-refrigerator for our newly purchased home a little over four years ago (galleria model). After numerous problems with the ice maker freezing up, ice accumulations on the back of the appliance, unprovoked freezer thawing episodes and the resultant ruined food, the unit now appears to pretty much work but not before numerous service calls, and two replacement units being delivered the first was visibly damaged as was the second).
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.

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.

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.

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.

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. I have spent numerous hours on the phone with all 3 companies and am stuck in a bureaucratic fight in which no one does anything. I will never buy anything from these companies again.

First, I want to mention that I'm in an industry related to home improvements and design. 25 years experience with appliances and home improvement products. I have NEVER been so disappointed with a product line, as I am with Frigidaire! Not just one, not two, not even three, but FOUR Frigidaire appliances have let us down. Model #'s? Why bother! A top of the line stainless dishwasher? Broke after 1 year. Controls no longer switch from 'normal' mode to any other cycle. Never cleans correctly and leaves behind residue.
Moving on to first refrigerator. Held up fine, except EVERY plastic door rack has broke! Junk! Ok, gave them another chance and got a newer french door unit. The freezer door top trim, completely cracked across the front top. Horrible design! Most all racks are cracked. Temperature climbs out by 10-15 degrees in freezer time to time with no known cause! Fixed twice already by them, and still does the same thing. Gave up! Microwave? It's OK, but once again, sort of cheaply built, and just not what you would expect. Should have just gone CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP if I wanted CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. My advice, just look elsewhere. Not the company they once were!

Purchased a new Gallery series last March. From the first day the fridge did not work. It would not keep a constant temperature. Food in the "fresh drawers" would freeze. After 2 service calls the tech was unable to fix the problem. Fortunately we bought the fridge from a highly reputable dealer and he took the box back. The new box was delivered late in April. The same problem appeared in August. The tech came out but it seemed he was able to fix it. Now the food is freezing again. The tech was here today but said he would need to return with some parts. He suggested we buy an extended warranty because without a warranty the fix would cost $350. I am furious.
Our last box was an Amana. Lasted 30 years with minimum service. Frigidaire hot line for service was useless. She was rude and obnoxious. Do not buy Frigidaire!! Frigidaire is owned by Electrolux.

I bought my Frigidaire refrigerator only 7mths ago and since I bought it I've had nothing but problems. Their customer service is the worst on top of it!!!! The fridge hasn't made ice since the 1st month of my purchase. Every time I call customer service they send a tech out, the techs automatically say its my filter. Frigidaire sent me filters 2x and still having the same issues. One tech said connect the water line directly to the fridge, we did that! Change the filter, we did that! Now they don't know what more to suggest. They refuse to replace the fridge because they want the store to eat the cost..... Clearly the fridge has a recall. Today another tech came out and again no surprise he said "it's the filter." They suggest me to get a bypass filter. I told him I have kids, what is the purpose of this fridge if I can not have filtered water. His response, "Well, I don't know what to tell you."
I WILL NEVER BUY A FRIGIDAIRE PRODUCT AGAIN!!!!! They keep pushing me around till my warranty expires and then I get screwed. All I want is a replacement or my fridge fixed and to warn people BEWARE when purchasing. They won't help you or even work with you. Luckily I bought it from Lowe's who have also been fighting with them, but there's only so much they can do. It's not their product, it's the manufacturer's. This fridge should be recalled.

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.

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.

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.

So I had my appliance repairman come and fix it for $100+/-. Then a couple of months ago the same problem occurred, my guy came and said he couldn't fix it. This is after 3 years. I called Lowe's who referred me to Frigidaire. They sent out their repairman to take a look and give an estimate. It was higher than the cost of the refrigerator. Then they tried to charge me for coming out at Frigidaire's request! For the last two months it's been back and forth emails with Frigidaire who has offered me replacement parts but I have to pay $200 for fittings, (probably their cost for the parts they are sending me). They also want me to sign a release leaving them with no further liability.
Meanwhile my Mother has lost numerous items, can't buy anything new as the freezer is at 20 degrees, so it will keep some things frozen but not freeze anything new and most importantly to her she can't have her daily ice cream. At 89 years old there isn't much to look forward to and Lowe's and Frigidaire should be ashamed of their behavior in this matter.
Their own repairman corrected me when I said refrigerators should last 20 years by saying they only build them to last 15 years now but he told me this model has been nothing but trouble and that they either repair the unit or replace it in most cases, so what's the problem?

In late October 2014 I purchased a full package of Frigidaire appliances (Gallery Refrigerator, Gas Range and Dishwasher) for an investment property. The refrigerator was inoperable straight out of the box. The local Home Depot did not have the exact same model in stock for a replacement and the thought was a Warranty Service Repair would actually be quicker than getting another refrigerator shipped in. The service provider came in a timely manner, diagnosed a failed Motherboard and attempted to expedite the part with their Distributor. They came back with estimates of 7-14 business days at which point I called Electrolux direct to determine the issue with shipping a board direct to the service provider (this is the normal process for other Equipment Mfgs). I was told by a Customer Service Representative (who refused to give her name other than "Catherine") that I would have to pay for any expedited shipping. When I finally agreed to do so, she said there was still no guarantee of anything faster than their normal 14 business day process time.
Kudos to Frank ** at the Merchants Walk Home Depot as he did his best to expedite the part with Electrolux and sent me out a loaner refrigerator.

Of those two, one has cracked again beyond use (gone) and the other is again cracked on one side so will only be there until it cracks further and won't hold on any longer. Called Frigidaire and they want $50.63 to replace. For one bin!!! For cheap plastic that is probably going to break again based on past usage. These are the "gallon" bins that should be able to literally hold a gallon of milk!! Not! After first replacement never put a gallon of milk there again. Bins would pop off because they never seemed to attach securely and caused the cracking from weight they were holding. How heavy is salad dressing and ketchup?!
These are supposed to be made to hold these types of items!!! Also, crisper drawer has cracked in the back corner under the track. How? Definitely not sturdy enough for normal daily use. I'm afraid when I take parts out to clean they're going to break in my hands! Based in what I've read about Frigidaire products I guess I should be grateful that it's running. Knock knock! Which reminds me that the ice maker doesn't really know when to quit and makes so much ice that it overflows at the back of that bin. Guess too much ice is better than no ice! Don't see a bright future with this product that's only 3 yrs old and will never buy Frigidaire again.

I bought a Frigidaire refrigerator almost 5 years ago, and so far it works fine, except that it is very noisy. I complained about that right away, fearing it indicated a serious problem, and I was told first that it was normal for an energy saver model, but the noise is more than turning off and on, and, on another call, that it was normal for an ice maker, which is preposterous since I use it only 2 or 3 times a year. Evidently I have the latter to thank for the relatively good luck I have had, and the fact that I got a simple model to have fewer things that could go wrong. However, sometimes the noise sounds like a small airplane is taking off in my kitchen. Also, when shortly after I bought it a lightweight wooden rack fell against the door without much force because I caught it so it only lightly touched the door and slid a few inches, it left deep scratches, revealing that their Silver Mist exterior was not baked on, but only spray painted on in a hasty attempt to compete with stainless finishes.
I would never have bought it had I known this, and to their credit, they sent me paint in all the variations of Silver Mist that they used. However, it took me hours and hours to painstakingly smooth away the raised edges of the scratches without damaging the surrounding paint (I used the edge of a credit card). In 2012 I bought a Gallery range, and so far I have only one complaint about that: when I used the convection option, the cooking was very uneven, so I either had to keep turning the food I was baking or use the non-convection settings, which is what I opted to do after a year of trying the former. Now I was trying to decide if the age and the general shoddiness of products sold by our esteemed American corporations indicated that I should take advantage of their latest in a long line of letters encouraging me to buy an extended warranty. Thus I got to read all these terrible experiences. Plus a fellow dog walker told me his Frigidaire range top stopped working after two weeks, inspiring him to insist it be replaced.
Of course, the whole idea of having a manufacturing company sell extended warranties for their products is in my mind ethically suspect: it only encourages them to make bad products: ye olde "planned obsolescence" rears its ugly head. Or are manufacturers all really only sales companies for insurance policies and products badly made with cheap labor overseas?? I suspect both after a recent experience with Bose, which also is making quality second to greed. How did my fellow Americans let this happen while I was overseas for 20 years?
Back to the issue at end: should I buy the warranty? So I read the overwhelming number of overwhelmingly bad reports about repairs and poor customer service, and am still not sure what to do. I am not impressed by Frigidaire or Electrolux, the parent company, that fosters such terrible products to be sold and evidently encourages the worst possible customer service. "Amazingly," when I called Frigidaire to discuss what the extended warranty would cover, the woman I talked to couldn't have been nicer and more reassuring that just about everything except drawers, shelves and exteriors were covered. But was she trying to sell me snake oil- that is, a warranty that would actually be worthless should I actually need it. I don't have a lot of trust in a company that doesn't care how poorly their product performs.

13 months ago I purchased new kitchen appliances from Howards which Frigidaire refrigerator, stove and microwave. Several months later the icemaker after being hooked up by a certified service personnel that same day spewed water enough to flood out the neighbors below me and cost $1,000 which Frigidaire (finally) paid for. Then they determined defective unit and replaced the refrigerator. Eleven months from purchase, with new replacement in house hooked up, the freezer sliding door malfunctions and won't operate just as I extended it to a 3 year service warranty, thank god. This defect occurred in September and the Frigidaire sent out some contract repair appliance co on September 27, 2014 to repair it. They took one look and said they needed to order a part.
I am just short of two months since that visit and have heard not peep from them or Frigidaire. I called at the end of October to Frigidaire to inquire and passed to a supervisor to speak who assured me they were doing everything possible to obtain the part necessary for repair. Another month and still not a peep and meanwhile I have a freezer full of frost with a malfunctioning sliding door inside full of frostbitten food that likely is bad or will be bad. Call Frigidaire and they drag their heels. Call the appliance repair they referred me to and it puts you on hold for a half hour or until your ear turns to cauliflower and you hang up out of disgust. What to do??

I purchased a new Frigidaire from Best Buy in Middletown, N.Y. on 09/28/2011 and it stopped working in the spring of 03/24 2113. I called Frigidaire who informed me that because I didn't take out the extended warranty at the time of purchase, they can't/won't do anything to help me. I truly believed a refrigerator is supposed to last longer than 2 years even without the extended warranty.

No customer service. Frigidaire subcontracts their technical work to small unqualified independent companies. It is a fact you will get better service and customer service from buy a cup a coffee from Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts than dealing with what they give you. I have a $5,000.00 refridge and can not believe the headache I am going thru for service and getting replacement parts. Today is November 18 2014. And refrigerator still not working. Will not buy the product, will not recommend anyone from buying it.

I bought a refrigerator from Lowe’s. After 13 months of use it died. After being out of refrigerator for 2 weeks, Lowe’s sent me a used one. Then I was told that they were not repairing it and that they ordered a new one. I was out for 5 weeks. Now this refrigerator (#2) has died. This time it has been 1 year and 7 months. A&E appliance repair came and ordered parts, which came the next day but they have informed me that they cannot fix it until Tuesday (5 more days without a refrigerator again in a 2 year period). A&E appliance insurance is what Lowe’s sold me at the time of purchase. I am now a very discouraged and totally dissatisfied (senior citizen) customer and I will never buy appliances from (Lowe’s, Sears) again. I now have my food sitting outside. Thank God it has come cold out, but some of my food is dead also.

I purchased my Frigidaire FRT26XHAW0 brand new at Sears and have sad news to report that the refrigerator portion has finally quit working. The freezer and ice cube maker/water dispenser is still in great condition making all the ice we need. This report is not to be a negative review on the old fridge but rather kudos since it worked continuously since June 1993. That's 21 years!!! It's time to retire it and buy a new one at Sears. Needless to say it will be another Frigidaire. Crazy part is that it's replacement will cost about the same as what I paid for the 1993 model. I hope to get yet another great American made product. It's possible an apprentice in 1993 could have a son or daughter working at the same factory and who will be building the replacement I'm about to buy is a testimony to the reliability of Frigidaire. Five Stars!!!!
