    Affinity Washer - 4 months ago, we purchased a matching washer and dryer and a stacking kit so the dryer could be stacked above the washer. From day one, the detergent dispenser drawer would not drain water from it after the cycle completed. After several service calls and at least 3 replacement parts for this drawer, the problem continued. After several calls to Frigidaire Customer Service and more replacement parts, they agreed to replace the washer. Yesterday the replacement washer was installed and it has the same problem. The water will not drain from the detergent dispenser drawer.

    The company representative has told me that there is no repair kit available for this problem. In order to use the washer, we have to remove the drawer assembly after each use and dump the water or it runs out on the floor. The service technician from the retail store where we purchased the washer believes there is a design flaw in the dispenser drawer. We have a hard time believing that a company can't figure out and fix the problem. Leaking water was the reason we replaced our old washer. We feel it is time for the company to resolve this issue.

    Piece of garbage, both the washer and the dryer. I have had these since 9/2009. The dryer got so hot that it fried the junction box to the plug. Also, the washing machine sucks debris into the pump area, causing the machine not to drain. I have attached a picture of all the crap that was beside the pump. Of course I should check my pockets before loading the washer, but the size of these items should NEVER go beyond the tub. Major costs to "fix," but the "fix" doesn't work!! Recall these machines!

    I purchased an Affinity dryer 22 months ago and last week, it stopped working. It displays door open while the door is closed. I checked the door switch, it is good. Checked error codes which gave an E66 error for the thermal limiter. Checked the limiter, it is good so it must be the control board. I replaced the control board at a cost of $146, that did not fix the problem, and that cannot be returned. Found another control board inside the machine and at a cost of $150 replaced it, did not fix the problem. Now it says the door is open and it is empty while the door is closed and full of clothes. I had a repair man recommended by Frigidaire come and look at it and he couldn't figure it out and while he was at my home, he called to talk to a Frigidaire tech but it was not during their hours. Now I have $365 into it and it still doesn't work. I will be calling the repair man again to see if he can get in touch with Frigidaire techs to find a solution. Update to come soon.

    I have lost hundreds of dollars with our clothing using the Affinity dryer. It has ripped and torn tank tops, t-shirts, both of my daughters' clothing as well as my wife's. I was going to file a lawsuit in civil court but after reading all of the complaints, I think a class action lawsuit should be filed. Frigidaire needs to step up and be held accountable for the damages their dryer has caused to our clothing items and everyone else's who has used this dryer. My family has lost over $400 in clothing. I contacted Frigidaire and instead of offering to help me, they told me I needed to purchase a part to keep that from happening. They obviously knew about the problem and were aware of the damages this dryer caused. Why didn't they do a recall or let customers know about this problem?

    I have owned my Frigidaire Affinity washer now for 5 months in which we have replaced the following: front panel when it was only 1 month old, belt, and 2 motors. I think it is wrong that a company will not just give me a new washer for what as much as I paid for this one - but instead they want to keep fixing it. It's a shame to buy a "new" washer and have it being repaired over and over again. My 16 year old washer was only repaired 1 time the whole time I owned it. How I miss it. If any of you are thinking about buying this washer - run for the hills!

    Frigidaire Red Affinity Washer - We have owned this washer for a little under 3 years and in the last 2 months, we notice small snags on our clothing and now full blown rips, that leave a gray smudge film almost like it's burning the fabric. I called the customer support and of course, nothing is covered under warranty and they said to purchase another large gray gasket because it seems to be old. Are you kidding me? Well, I asked for compensation for the clothing that has been ripped since this seems to be a problem they were aware of for years and never issued a recall or anything on it. They said no. Of course, it was the customer service rep, so I'm filing a claim with BBB and small claims court. I have a basket full of kids' uniforms and other clothing that the machine is destroying. I'm planning to purchase another one, but it's crazy to have such a thing already.

    I really dislike this washer. The pull out compartment for the soap, bleach, etc...is always filled with water. From day one, we have left the washer door open to air dry it, but it hasn't worked. We started noticing black mildew on the rubber seals around the door, so then we started drying the seals after every load. The mildew continued to grow. We have run hot cycles with bleach and tried cleaning the mildew with vinegar, and nothing works. I'm so disappointed that I feel like I've been ripped off. Oh! And the door to the washer started sagging, so it needs to be lifted in order to latch. Then today I noticed that the door is actually cracking apart from the stress of sagging. I hate this machine.

    After use, water always collects in the front rubber seal. Even after drying it out after each wash, there is always a foul odor that comes from it along with the mold that seems to come along with it. Leaving the door slightly opened doesn't even seem to help other that the odor finds its way through the rest of the house. This would be the last front loading especially from Frigidaire that I would probably purchase. The customer service representative suggested placing a fan in front of it to help dry it out. What a joke, I only look like this!!!!! There is a large amount of water that stays in the pump, the lines and in the outer tank. You would think that a company of this size would better design these units.

    I would give it ZERO stars if that was an option. I have an Affinity Model FAQE7011KR Dryer paired with the matching washer. I purchased them in December 2009. The pair isn't even four years old. The washer's pump has gone out so many times I have replacement parts on hand at this point. I have them stacked, so every three months when I have to repair the washer, the dryer automatically gets a thorough cleaning. Needless to say, I am so upset about this last issue I intend to let the entire world know and I thank God I was awake and at home when I discovered the FIRE in the dryer.

    Last night at 11:30 we ran a load of laundry and put it in the dryer. I went out and sat on the patio since it was a nice night and in about 10 minutes after the dryer was started, I started to smell smoke coming from the outside dryer vent. I immediately ran down into the basement, opened the dryer door and I could smell something burning, but I saw no smoke just smell. So I removed the clothes, pulled the vent hoses, the filter, and checked out any accessible area of the dryer that I was able to check for lint. Nothing there, maybe this was a fluke. I put half the load back in, just to see if it would happen again. After 5 minutes it seemed that it was running fine. So I went back out to the patio to enjoy a few cool minutes outside on a very hot night. After about 10 more minutes, I smelled smoke again and actually saw it billowing out the outside dryer vent. I ran back down to the dryer. Now the entire drum was completely filled with smoke, but the clothes inside were not burned. I unplugged the unit and stayed up half the night worried it might spontaneously flame up.

    Today, I pulled the unit apart and I discovered a MAJOR DESIGN FLAW with this unit. Upon dissecting the charred remains, I discovered where the fire started - along with it the MAJOR DESIGN FLAW, which makes the Dryer a DEATH TRAP. The duct leading from the burner and into the back of the drum that is designed to push hot air into the drum to dry the clothes - has holes big enough to allow lint and debris to fall backwards into the burner, allowing it to ignite.

    If you dry anything that may pill up or produce lint, the particles are able to fall backwards through the burner's duct with the accumulation building up inside the sealed and inaccessible to maintain burner vent. Without a major change to that part, I would not recommend that ANYONE purchase these appliances.

    I would like to share excerpts from my posts on Frigidaire's website and other sites. I don't want to waste anymore time on Frigidaire, not even a letter. Had a Frigidaire dishwasher that only lasted 5 years, before it had to be replaced! Now my Frigidaire washing machine broke after 6 years. Wish I had read Consumer Reports about not buying Frigidaire before my purchases. Save yourself the headache and don't waste your money!

    The saga continues! I had an authorized Frigidaire repairman come try to fix my washer and it took 2 and a half hours for him to tell me the part he had wouldn't fix it. He told me to order the other part myself and call him when it comes in. Shipping will take 7-10 days, BUT you can pay an extra $30 for 2nd or next day shipping. Frigidaire knows you need the part ASAP. What a scam! When I asked for a supervisor, I was told to call back after 9 am. It was 8:45 am. I asked to leave my number for a call back and I was told Frigidaire supervisors don't call people back. This company is horribly managed.

    I finally reached a supervisor. After being on hold for 45 minutes to see if I would go away, a supervisor finally picked up. Yes, 45 minutes! What a joke. Ordered a part for 2nd day delivery on the 15th. Here it is the 20th and the part hasn't been shipped. I will never purchase a product from you ever again! I tried to cancel the order, because 2nd day air really means it ships in 2 days AFTER 7 days of processing. When I called my credit card company, I was informed I had been double charged. I'm now letting MasterCard deal with Frigidaire. I bought a LG washer!

    I should have just bought a new washer and saved myself all the headaches on being put on hold all the time and flat out lied to. There have been countless transfers and it has just an enormous waste of my time. Unfortunately, I can never get back the 5+ hours of my life I wasted dealing with this company. I look forward to reading that Frigidaire is no more.

    Affinity washer and dryer - My clothes don’t always smell clean. When I wash blankets the water doesn't drain and they are soaking wet so I have to ring them out in the bath tub. I've had mine since 2009 and now the dryer takes two 1 hour and 30 minute cycles to dry my clothes. I can't put drawstring pants, tank tops or anything with strings or areas that can get caught on the vent that's stupidly placed inside the dryer. I have put brand new never worn items in the dryer that were dryer safe and it ruined them. Can't count how many tops I was forced to put into the dryer because the washer wrinkled them so badly to only have to throw them away. It has torn up and permanently damage the majority of my nice clothing. T-shirts, blue jeans and towels are the only safe things in the dryer.

    Wash machine computer was hit by lightning. Called Lowes where I bought washer. I have a warranty on machines till 2017. Lowes warranty place set up a service call with Black Rock appliance in Clayton, GA. They came out, ordered new computer, and 2 wks later put it on machine. The machine didn’t get same amount of wash time as old one so I called Lowes warranty place again. They then set me up for another service Millennium Appliance from Byson City, NC came out they then ordered new computer 2 wks.

    Later they came back out to put new computer on machine. It too does not get the same wash time as the original computer. The tech. says that Frigidaire did an update for consumers to save water. Well I talked with Frigidaire 3 times and spoke with Mary, Ashley, and one other lady can't remember her name they all put me on hold said that they were going to ask somebody in there T.I.D. department came on line and said that Frigidaire has not done an update on their computers that the tech has to set computer back to manufacturer’s specifications so they set me up another appt. Millennium refused to come out because of the update so I called Frigidaire again. Had lady from Frigidaire on phone, she too asked their computer department about updates then came back online said that there were no updates.

    Then she put me on hold to call Millennium and have Millennium and their (Frigidaire) tech. department talk. After about ten minutes, she came back on the line and said that there was an update that is supposed to save the consumer water but I am here to tell you that for me to get around the same length of wash time on my washer I have to put my washer on fresh water rinse which is an extra rinse cycle but the last time I checked when you have to add an extra rinse cycle that uses water so I don't see where I am saving water.

    I want people to know how awful this washer is. I have never been so disappointed in all my life. I have allergies, and my sheets have to be clean. Well, I needed a new washer, and heard that Frigidaire Affinity had an allergy option. This is a complete farce. How can you clean clothes, when the washer doesn't even fill with water AT ALL? My Queen size sheets sit in about 1/2 a cup of water. So little, that I don't even get suds! Wow! I couldn't figure out why I woke up the next day so sick and coughing and stuffed up in the nose. My sheets looked ok, but they were NOT. In fact, I had just bought the sheets a week ago. So they were NEW. I thought that this washer had adjustable water settings but it does NOT. So forget about washing that comforter! It took me several days to figure this out and I was sick the whole time. I finally put some sheets on that were NOT washed in this washer, and I am feeling better already. What a Disappointment! What's the use of having a huge drum for my queen sz sheets and comforter if it doesn't even fill with water!?

    I've tried other settings on the machine, and same result. I've finally gotten on the internet to read reviews on Frigidaire washers, and other people have the same problems, and even more problems than I have had. And I spent $800 dollars on this washer! What a rip off. I really miss my old, smaller washer, that I let the servicemen tote away. Now I have to find another washer, that really works instead of this junk. And I'm so sick and tired of all the buttons on these gadgets. Since I was up coughing all night from the sheets, I reread the entire manual just to make sure I hadn't missed anything - yeah that was fun. I miss the days of regular dials. By the way, when the computer goes out on these gadgets, they cost a lot to fix. But a new dial is so easy to replace. I wonder who these washing machine companies are trying to help? Me or themselves?

    We purchased a Frigidaire front loading washing machine seven years ago. Since that time, we have had many problems with the spin and drain cycle of the machine. The machine has been leaking from the bottom and the front bottom panel is rusting so much that that there is now a hole in it. The washer looks older than our Maytag dryer, which is at least twenty-two years old. We did our research before buying this washing machine (we looked at Consumer Report Ratings). We have never had such a horrible experience as we have had with this washer. It is also infuriating that only a Frigidaire repair person is able to fix this machine.

    The Right to Repair Law should include washers, dryers, etc... The last time we needed the "certified" Frigidaire repairman, we had to wait five days for his house call. We would have finished the laundry sooner by using an old-fashioned laundry scrub board in the bathtub! The extremely poor quality and performance of this machine in addition to the long wait time for service (and the high cost for the service call) has made us decide to never purchase another item from Frigidaire. We would not recommend any Frigidaire products to anyone that we know. We hope that Frigidaire will address these issues (we have seen posts from others experiencing the exact same problems) and focus on resolving these problems. Perhaps Frigidaire executives have money to waste, but people like us do not. Please pass this review on to the appropriate department at Frigidaire so that they can begin to make some positive changes in their products.

    We bought our Frigidaire washer dryer combo about three years ago. The front loading washer is good enough, but the dryer has been catching, spinning, and tearing clothes since day one. The first year wasn't so bad that we felt totally ripped off. It was usually just sweat pant strings and other very thin things that were getting caught. Nowadays, it is tearing up clothes all the time. This ** is three years old, and I am tempted to haul this thing somewhere and dump it on someone's lawn.

    The warranty is long over, so we have little recourse for recouping all the money in clothes this thing has eaten. I'm no fan of frivolous lawsuits, but if there was ever a warranted situation for a class action, this is it. The Internet is awash in complaints about this problem, but I'm sure Frigidaire just denies the fact that this is a design flaw. Probably because fixing the problem the right way would cost them millions of dollars. Lying is so much easier.

    Frigidaire Front Load Washer, Model FTF530ES1 - Purchased the front-loading washer due to a limited laundry space in our new home. The ability to stack the washer and dryer was a deciding factor. We've used both for almost seven years, and the washer is now making a banging noise when spinning, and will not spin out excess water in the final spin. We called the local appliance store where it was purchased, and they were familiar with the issue. Told us it wasn't cost-effective to repair, that we're better off buying new. Also told us the average lifespan for this front-loader is about seven years. This is shameful...and shame on them for selling this major appliance with such a short lifespan.

    Frigidaire Affinity Washer and Dryer - It will be 2 years in September that I purchased these appliances. At first, we were very happy with them. Both worked fine with no problems. We moved in October of 2012, and our problems have started. The washing machine vibrates so bad, it shakes the whole house. Sometimes, it won't spin our clothes, or finish the cycle. I have had service techs here 6 times for this problem. He went as far as to tell us it was the sub floor in our house. He stated it was old and needed to be replaced.

    I had someone come out and check the sub floor and was told it was fine. The last call we had for this washing machine was because, after the wash cycle was done, we went to put the clothes in the dryer, but the door to the washing machine was locked and wouldn't open. We waited an hour and still could not get the door open. Finally, I unplugged the machine, and it seemed to reset itself. We were able to open the door and get our clothes out. No one can explain why this has happened. Thank God, I purchased these from Aaron's. They sent someone from the store out, and they showed us where the factory reset button is, and everything seems okay so far.

    Now, two weeks ago, while drying a load of clothes, we could smell something burning. We called the fire dept. They came out and said they thought it was a venting problem. As the fire dept was leaving, Aaron's was pulling up. The fireman explained what he thought the problem was, and Aaron's was great and called for service immediately on the dryer.

    Service tech has been here now 4 times for the dryer. The filter inside the door was covered with this rubbery substance so we cleaned it. They couldn't explain what the substance was that was on the filter, and they reconnected the dryer and said everything was good to go. Again, we had them back; clothes were not drying. There was no burning smell, clothes just were not drying. They came back, and again said it was a venting problem. Okay, so on Saturday, I did a small load of wash, 5 pairs of spandex shorts, and one shirt, set the dryer, and it said 49 minutes. The dryer buzzed and clothes were not dried.

    We ran the load again - not all dry again. I called to have service again. We set the timer on the dryer, and the timer on the stove, and bingo, the dryer buzzed, and shut off. We looked at the timer on the stove; there were still 26 minutes on the timer to go. We checked out clothes, still wet and ran them again. They dried this time. The service tech today said it was a venting problem, and that was throwing the timer off. I'm sorry, but I don't buy it, and if it happens again, I will be asking for a different set. I am not happy with these two pieces.

We called Frigidaire and because it was still under warranty, they sent a company out to come fix it. That company came out a few times and kept replacing the grill and electric panel. It was still burning our clothes so the company they sent said that it was the location of where the dryer was. Their service manager was extremely rude to us.

    We had another company come out twice, and they were extremely nice to us. They said that the location of the dryer had nothing to do with the burning of the clothes.

    This washer and dryer looked real nice when I decided to buy a nice thing for my kids and family. However, due to problems with both the appliances, we are spending more on clothing than laundry shops.

    I purchased a Frigidaire frontloading washer and dryer in July of '05. I have been disappointed with the lint trap catcher on the dryer. Some of the articles of clothing, such as camisole tops, sweatpants, hoodies, bras, panties and tank top undershirts, anything basically with any type of strings or thin straps, get caught on the righthand side of the catcher. And as it spins, it ruins the shape of some clothes and rips and ruins almost all those types of clothes.

    I cannot even to begin to place an amount of money on how many articles of clothing that have been ruined by this dryer. Also, some articles get stuck in the drum, and then they don't dry and are really wrinkled. I also have a front loader washer, which is now in my garage not being used because of screws that rusted on the door. I was so excited to buy these products and have been nothing but disappointed with both of them and with the amount of money that has been wasted on the articles of clothing that my family has lost.

    We bought our Frigidaire Affinity washer about 3 years ago. Since then we've had to have service calls 3 times for the drain pump (items slipped through the seal on the tub and locked up the drain pump, which stopped spin outs/drainage from happening). Our serviceman alone fixed this issue 3 times, as previously mentioned. He taught us how to do it (to avoid even more repeat service calls) and we've performed the needed repair 3 times ourselves. Lately we've had issues with the door closures, which required another $176 service call on top of a separate $50 part we replaced ourselves. Today, after doing a load on cold/cold, we noticed that the air inside of the barrel upon unloading felt extremely hot. Not sure if this is yet another issue or not, but my guess is this is some new costly repair issue.

    Like someone else suggested, we (as a group) should be entitled to some sort of class action lawsuit. I don't want any punitive damages money; I just want a washer that works! This unit has been nothing but headaches from day one. The model is a total lemon and Frigidaire should back it up and support those that spent money on their products.

    Frigidaire dryer lint catcher rips clothes, especially on small straps.

    In February of 2002, we completed a total remodel of our home and purchased all new appliances, including a Frigidaire washer and dryer. The appliances we had previously were an outdated color, but in fine working order. In October of 2004, we had a dryer fire. The smoke damage was extensive and we were out of our home for 3 months. The fire marshal was unable to find a definitive cause of the fire because the appliance was so badly damaged. He concluded that it was probably a seized-up motor. We foolishly replaced this dryer with the same model as there was no damage to the matching washer. We have been diligent about lint removal and maintenance of both items.

    Today, September 29, 2012, we again had a dryer fire. Although the damage is not as extensive this time, we will still have to miss work to paint, re-grout tile, replace appliances and meet with the insurance adjuster. You can be sure that I will never buy another Frigidaire product and will let all my friends and family know that this is not a reliable product.

    In October 2009, we purchased a Frigidaire washer and dryer (model: FAQG7011KWO, serial # 4D91401422), both front loaders at about $1,500. In less than a year, we began to notice a burn waffle pattern on some articles of our clothing. At first, we assumed maybe we were putting too many clothing articles in the dryer. We shortened our loads and still saw burn marks. We then decided to only dry on medium heat and the problem continued. We replaced the dryer vent hose and continually cleaned the lint that collects. Now, almost every load of laundry, we do get burn marks on them. My father, who is a Buffalo NY Firefighter, is very concerned that this is a fire hazard. He inspected the dryer and also came to the conclusion that the machine is at fault.

    We have now ruined hundreds of dollars worth of clothing (which it is not professional as a teacher to wear clothes with holes and burn marks) and to make matters worse, the washer had a computer problem in which a service man had to work on it to replace it for $150. We have receipts of this and the purchase of our washer and dryer (from Rose's Home Furniture Store). At this point, we would like compensation towards a new dryer as we are afraid of a fire starting. This machine is a danger to have in the home. It should be recalled. My next step is possibly notify the new. When I wrote to the company, the only response they had was that they cannot help me because we no longer had a warranty. I have several images. However, when I try to submit my complaint, it will not allow me with the photos attached.

    I have contacted the dealership six times over the last four months since I bought an Frigidaire Affinity washer/dryer set. We also contacted Frigidaire and returned the questionnaire they sent regarding the service call from the dealership. The dealer says we've got to get Frigidaire to do something about our washer because they can't take it back. I bought it on April 18 and it's now Aug. 24. I've just started again with Frigidaire trying to get some help. The washer bangs like crazy. It will wake you up out of a sound sleep.

    The serviceman said that maybe our floor is saggy. The house was built this year. It is not sagging. He suggested we go under our house and bolster up that area with concrete blocks. But the thing that cannot be fixed is the fact that it leaves clothes unclean. The dryer works fine. I recommend you do not buy Frigidaire products. I am going to file a consumer complaint with the state Attorney General's office next. Meanwhile, I'm washing and rewashing the same loads using more detergent and water than when I had a regular plain 3-level Whirlpool top load washer. It washed clothes beautifully. It's so sad I don't have it anymore. This new technology of HE machines should make our lives easier, not more complicated. It also should use less detergent and water but when you wash each load twice, that means more is used. Sheesh!

    In March or April 2010, we purchased the Frigidaire Red Affinity front load washer and dryer. About 11 months later, it began ripping our clothing, about every other load.

They have never heard of the washer eating clothing. Well, I found hundreds online with same problem. I have been simmering about this issue, hoping every time I do laundry, I don't lose certain clothing. Still it happens because the bags fail sometimes.

    Anyway while looking online to view update on complaints/resolutions, I found out that my new stove and refrigerator are also on the complaints with the same issues - one possible safety recall and I will check that in the morning. We're thousands of dollars in debt for all these appliances and I have to hand wash certain clothes due to fear of losing more clothing. After all I have to work and I am broke. I cannot afford more clothing! I am so depressed with this and so dissatisfied and upset that I don't know what to say other than if Frididaire does not remedy the problem, I want to join a class action suit asap. Let's get together on this. There are hundreds of complaints. I am not big on lawsuits but there is a time to consider them.

    Frigidaire dry fire - I was at home doing laundry and watching the news when I heard a loud pop. I walked down the hallway to see gray smoke coming out of the washroom. I opened the door and saw smoke pouring out of the dryer. I immediately called 911 and returned to the washroom to check it out further while on the phone with 911. When I opened the dryer door, there were flames shooting up 12" high. I unplugged the dryer and ran out of the house. The fire department put it out and limited the burn damage to the wash room. The smoke damage was a different story.

    $25,000 later and 5 weeks in a hotel and I still cannot return home.

    Needless to say, the agent quickly back pedalled on her confirmation. I am extremely frustrated at the lack of concern from the agent as to my plight and that I have to wait at least 7-10 days for the part to come in (it has already been a week to get the repairman out here). Is this company the only one that doesn't realize how much laundry there is to do for a family in this amount of time, especially since I've been unable to use my washer for more time than I have been able to use it due to it not working?

    I purchased your Frigidaire front loading washer (GLTF2940FS) no more than 5 years ago. I have had a number of issues with it. Within the first two years whenever we used any cycle other than the permanent press load cycle, the cloths after spin were still completely soaked. It’s requiring me to run an additional spin only cycle. Our extended warranty covered that issue and the unit began working again. At least temporarily. Next issue was the rubber that seals the door. The function is to keep water in the machine. The rubber seal design creates a tight valley and due to this tight valley, it prevents the water from escaping the door; however, it also prevents the water that enters the valley from returning the wash area and eventually draining. So there is always water and moisture trapped inside the seal and like any thing that never dries, black mold begins to grow. The only way to remove the mold is soak towels with bleach and stuff them in the valley seal and leave it. That somewhat helps the issue.

    On the 3rd year, the front panels assemble that makes up the detergent housing and the wash selector and the read out area began to crack starting from the soap area and has been traveling ever since towards the opposite side heading towards the dials. By year 4, rust begins to form on the bottom side of the door, which has lifted up the paint and is causing it to flake. On the base on the machine, under the door, you can see more rust is growing and lifting the paint, leaving a bumpy appearance and putting that area at risk for more flaked paint. More rush growth.

    Also, the spin cycle no longer works again unless you use the permanent press load cycle. I haven’t called a repair tech since even if he fixes the spin, the rest will still look awful. I thought my extended warranty covered the initial issue of the spin cycle. It won’t, however, cover anything deemed physical damage. So the items exhibiting physical damage, as in the seal, the main control panel and any area that has rust, would not be covered.

A representative of Electrolux sent me an email where she apologized for these issues but that their responsibility as a manufacturer has ended (and that surely I could understand this). Well, I don't understand this and based on the research, I've done on the internet on these defective washers, this is a major issue for many people.

    In addition to the sale of a defective and unsafe product, Electrolux is responsible for causing health and environmental risks with this product. Mold causes serious health issues including allergic reactions, respiratory problems and other maladies. I would like to file a formal complaint against Electrolux as well as proceed with other legal actions. I'm an attorney (non-practicing) and feel this is a major injustice that needs to be addressed by the Consumer Affairs division. Thank you.

    I had a dryer fire, not a lint fire, on the Frigidaire gallery front load heavy duty supreme model. The fire was inside the drum. It destroyed every room of my house with smoke damage. I also had severe water damage from the fireman putting it out. I always make sure lint exhaust hose is clean and replaced every year. This was done less than two months when we had the fire. Every room, from floor to ceiling, had to be done over. It puts my family at a great loss. Never buy a Frigidaire front loading dryer for they are not safe.

    I bought a brand new front loading Frigidaire affinity washer and dryer from HH Gregg. After 1 month, I begin to have multiple issues with these appliances. I have had mold, mildew on the rubber liner. I have had the door and hinge totally replaced. I also have had at least 3 door tabs replaced on the washer. And I not only have the 3 year replacement plan, but I use all HE detergents and softeners as well as use the tabs they sold me to keep it clean and fresh. But none of it works. I've also had to have the trap worked on twice. It leaks occasionally and rips holes in our clothes and also the spin cycle ** up constantly. Most of the initial repairs were covered by the replacement plan, but my ripped and ruined clothes were not. I would give anything to just have my Whirlpool set back that I had for over 10 years and not one service call.

    My husband bought this washing machine (and matching dryer) as a surprise for me to replace my 15-year old top-loading machine. He bought it at H&H Gregg. The machine began to have problems after one month. It started with the drum not spinning. After fighting with H&H, they covered the $300 plus the repair fee. Since then we have replaced the door latch twice. No warranty coverage. We just replaced the draining pump for $320. No warranty coverage. We were told the hinge on the door will need to be replaced soon. The door must be left open between washings to prevent nasty things from happening.

    My Frigidaire front load washer and dryer, bought in July of 2008, started putting holes in my clothing about a year after we purchased them. Anything that is made of cotton is especially vulnerable. No, I do not use bleach, I do not wash my cottons with zippers or bras, and I do not over load my machine. It will occur with big loads or small loads. I also use high end detergent. It is not a particular brand of clothing, Gap, Target, Wal-Mart, Macy's, Banana Republic, and even Talbots, have suffered at the hands of my machine. At first I thought it was my washer. I washed a load of brand new cotton shirts, 6 of them, on the delicate cycle, and one appeared with two holes.

    I then started putting all my soft cottons in a laundry bag, and hang drying them. What a pain! The holes were less, but still present in the clothes that did not go in the laundry bag. Recently I washed some t-shirts in the laundry bag, and took them out, and dried them in the dryer, and they are full of small holes. Front, back, arm, there is no rhyme or reason where the holes appear. Recently, my husbands gym shorts, made of very strong fabric, had a bite taken out of them by my dryer. The cherry on top is that the washer always smells like mold, because the water never fully drains out. I want my old top loader, and my cheap reliable dryer back! I contacted Frigidaire and Lowe's, and they said that they have never heard of this problem, and that most likely, the drum needs to be replaced.

    It was and still continues to be the worst experience of my life. I was recovering from surgery to repair a shattered leg that happened on March 18th. My old dryer had burnt up after having it repaired multiple times. I decided to just get a new one. On April 14th, I had a new one installed. On June 26th, while my daughter was changing after work, she put the load of clothes in the dryer that I had started before leaving to go to physical therapy. Twenty minutes after arriving, I was alerted to a fire at my apartment by my hysterical daughter.

    After the insurance company took the dryer and investigated the cause, it turns out it was a faulty dryer. The insurance company and I are suing them due to the fact that they denied culpability in the fire, as well as they will not cover the insurance claims.

A repairman was sent out three times to replace the circuit board. Each time the board was replaced, it burned out again. The repairman said that it was the electric current in the house. An electrician came out and said that the current was fine. By that time, the warranty has run out and Frigidaire's no service said that the case was closed.

Suddenly, a month ago, the dryer stopped working. The technician charged us almost US$ 250 to replace the main card and I was amazed that replacing a card could cost almost a third part of what I paid for it. This week was the washer, so I call again for technical support and this time I'm totally amazed. Turns out that I have to replace both cards of my washer for a total amount of almost $700, same of what I paid for it.

    I cant believe that after only 3 years both appliances stopped working almost at the same time and for the same reason: damaged card. I had a GE washer for almost 7 years and never ever had any trouble with it. The only reason I decided to sell it was because I need and washer and a dryer that could be place one in top of the other. Now, I regret it! The technician said it is very common in Frigidaire front load washer and dryer. So, I believe you should really make an effort to provide better products, unless their business is selling parts.

    We purchased a Frigidaire Affinity washer and dryer set in March 2006 thinking we were getting a good product. We were sadly mistaken. From day one we have had problems with the lint trap in the dryer eating our clothes. Anything with a strap gets hooked on the trap and then the garment spins around until the strap breaks or the garment rips. I've even had cases where it tangled up other items and damaged those. I have resorted to hanging my tank tops and other similar items to air dry because even the delicate item dryer bags get caught. Why they wouldn't put the lint trap down farther like a normal dryer is beyond me, but I won't be purchasing another dryer without looking at the lint trap location ever again. I've lost hundreds of dollars worth of clothes over the years which is ridiculous if you ask me.

    As far as the washer goes, I thought we were doing OK at first but after eight months we got an error code and had to call for service. The pump had gone out and needed to be replaced. We didn't worry too much since it was covered under the warranty, but we should have taken the hint and looked at the extended warranty they sent us when the time came. Less than a month after our warranty went out another error code came up and the door on the washer locked. We couldn't even get it to open, even after we unplugged it for a while. We ended up spending $360 to replace the control board and got nothing from Frigidaire but "Sorry, your warranty is up." in response to our calls. In the last couple of years we've noticed a moldy, disgusting smell coming through in our clothes, even after they were washed, and the washer smells horrible if it's been sitting closed and unused for any period of time.

    To top it off, the boot warped and an error code popped up earlier this week so we are without a washer again. We thought we could replace the boot and it would resolve the issue so we spent $135 for the part and installed it but the error code is still there. After researching it further we found that the code is actually a drain pump relay error on the control board or it could be that a wire is off of the pump. The solution? Fix the wire or replace the control board. Another $360 (assuming the cost hasn't gone up) on top of the $135 we've already spent for this current repair, add to that the $360 we spent the last time this happened and we could have purchased a different washer from a more reliable company. I will never purchase from Frigidaire again and can't believe that there hasn’t been a lawsuit filed against this company yet. They are obviously selling a bad product and not doing anything about fixing problems that they know are there, costing consumers thousands of dollars. If I could go back in time I'd keep my 20 year old top loader. It worked fine, we just thought that it would be nice to upgrade since we had just started a family. Never thought we would have found ourselves downgrading instead.

    My parents purchased a Frigidaire front load washer June 2010. It was delivered to me in Marietta Ga on June 6, 2010. November 3, 2010, the washer began to fill and would stop after 1 min. I spoke with Sears and they directed me to call the manufacturer. I did this and a repair man came out on November 3, 2010, he said it was a control board that had gone back as well as a switch.

    He returned on November 8 to repair the items and the washer then gave another "error message". With further investigation the repairman noticed that the belt had frayed because it was wrapped around the motor. He had to go out to retrieve a belt, returned and the washer then gave another "error message". The repairman said that he had to order another control board for another part of the washer. This I feel is uncalled for with a washer that is less than 6 months old.

    The washer was finally repaired on November 9, 2010. I have a family and was without a washer for a week and a half. My parents spent good money for a washer/dryer pair that they felt would last a whole lot longer than 6 months. This washer is a lemon! I cannot believe you would advertise and put out merchandise that would give a customer this kind of service. The repair service called me the next day and said that Frigidaire said that the warranty had worn out in June of 2009.

    How could that be when I received it in June of 2010? Is there any recourse for this time of aggravation, is the product what you advertise....No it is not. I am very unhappy not with Sears, not with the repairman who tried desperately to repair the machine but with the label "Frigidaire". It left me with piles of clothes that I had to take to the laundry mat. This is totally uncalled for with a machine "supposedly" brand new.

    I purchased a Frigidaire washer and dryer on 1-16-2010. A circuit board has already been replaced twice and I called in today for the third time for the same problem. It is the board that controls the washer loads that keeps malfunctioning. It will not wash on normal load both times before. But now, it will not wash on normal or quick. What can you do to keep this from happening again? I am getting pretty fed up with calling and putting on hold or transferred and being put on hold again, only to be given phone numbers of local repair services that may or may not return your call. Believe me that I will never purchase anything else with the Frigidaire name on it. This is ridiculous. I need help or I need a new washer!

    I purchased a Frigidaire dryer on 1/6/2006 and it has completely died on me (less than 5 years). Not to mention that the knobs broke off in less than 2 years. I do one load of laundry per week; therefore, that was ridiculous. But I dealt with it. The product was not labeled "piece of **" when I purchased it. If it had been labeled that, I would have never purchased it. My damages are that I had to purchase a new dryer as the cost to fix this one was unbelievable after little use. Frigidaire needs to be charged with false advertising and unfair business practices. I would like some money back for their deceit and extortion.

    Sixteen months ago, I purchased an expensive washer-dryer Affinity series set from Frigidaire. I can provide the model and serial numbers if needed. Within 4 months, the latch on the washer as well as the boot that keeps water in the machine and prevents it from leaking were broken. I had it fixed under warranty. However, the washer kept leaking. Since I have a mold allergy, I have to mop up puddles every time I wash. On Oct. 18, I called customer service who kept referring me to the extended warranties dept. including the individuals mentioned above. Recently, the leaking from the washer became profuse, the latch on the washer was once again broken and moreover, the fast spin cycle (computerized) was not working which gravely increases my energy costs in drying. In addition, the latch on the dryer was broken.

    I brought in a repair guy at my expense ($95.35) to assess the situation and see if anything could be done to rectify the situations like balancing the machines or whatever. He told me that in his experience Frigidaire products were very poor and my washer in particular appeared to be a lemon. The fact that the boot broke after 4 months and then again in less than one year indicated that mere repairs would not solve the problem. I called Frigidaire customer service once again who once again referred me to extended warranties. At this point, extended warranties questioned/needed to research my warranty agreement. This took an entire day and they were supposed to call me back that day but did not.

    Yesterday, Oct. 19, 2010, I called back Lastacia and she appeared to not even remember the case and phone calls from the previous day. She was extremely rude and I had to register a complaint with her supervisor ,Aylaya **. One of these items included Lastacia's refusal to give me a number where I could register a complaint with higher level executives at Frigidaire, a number I found myself after a 3 min. search on the internet. At this point, even though my machine had already been repaired under Frigidaire's warranty and I have in my possession an offer to renew my warranty stating that the renewal date is 11/8/10, ** denied that I had an existing warranty.

    This is less than two years from the date of purchase and as I read through the warranty contract in my possession, I pointed out that the most expensive of the repairs, the computerized fast spin cycle, was covered for five years under the initial purchase warranty. This she chose to ignore and said I was taking up her time. She indicated that customer service had made "an equipment compensation" for me. I called customer service and found out that the "compensation" covered only the two latches and the boot for the washer. I called the repair businesses they referred me to in the Philadelphia area and got estimates of the repairs for these items, $200.00 This estimate did not cover the expenses I would be incurring to fix the fast spin cycle.

    At this point, I have decided that it is equally (or less over time) expensive and less hassle to purchase a standard (not state of the art washer) $523.56 from Whirlpool .At the very least, I would like other consumers to become more aware that Frigidaire products are of very low quality and their warranty contracts are not honored, as in the case of my fast spin cycle problem.

    In October 2008, we purchased a Frigidaire Affinity washer/dryer. After 20 days in our home, the dryer buzzed when turned on and would not run. Repairman came and told me the motor was shot. The dryer was replaced and we thought everything would be fine. No, I was wrong. The lint trap in the dryer catches anything with strings or silky material and twists it until it ruins it. I've even had towels and washcloths caught. That's not all. Today I went to use my washer and as I removed the load, I had just washed. I noticed the rubber seal (called a boot) that runs from the drum to the outer edge of the machine is tore completely through.

    All of the water of course is on the floor (which is carpet). I called the store where I purchased it and they said it can be replaced. My warranty expires in 2 days, so I asked if I could extend it and was told no, when the warranty expires that's it. The washer has odor and has also ruined clothing that has gotten wedged next to the door and the boot.

    We purchased a washer/dryer set (stackable) in Oct. 2005. Since the purchase, if I put any item with strings/loops/straps, etc. into the dryer, the defective lint trap "twists" the item & either breaks the strap (from twisting so tightly) or stretches out the item, so it is no longer wearable.

    Today, I opened the dryer & my whole load was twisted together because of a string on a shirt. I took pictures of the last two loads that had issues & finally called Frigidaire. The rep told me that because my service warranty is expired, Frigidaire is not liable for anything. I told him it is not a warranty issue; it is a defect in the design of the lint trap. The lint trap is at the bottom in the front of the dryer (inside) & it is square, allowing for things to get "caught" on the trap. If it were a rounded trap, the clothes would just "slip" over the trap & not get entangled.

    I asked if they had a better designed trap that they might replace the one I have with & he said no. So, I asked if Frigidaire would send me a new dryer (one that doesn't have the lint trap on the inside) & he laughed. He said that it is a warranty issue & I know it is not. He then told me that the instruction manual says to place items that have strings (undergarments, etc) into a mesh bag before putting in the dryer to avoid this issue. Mesh bags have string! If I did that, my laundry would always turn out the way it did today (10/8/10). So, my husband is now forced to go buy a newer dryer (when mine is probably capable of lasting us another 10-15 more years; it's a good dryer overall) that we shouldn't have to do.

Clothes would be sopping wet after the spin cycle was done, which would cause clothes to take twice as long to dry or we would put them through the spin cycle again. A lot of waste of electricity and aggravation. Then the tub broke apart and smashed the sides of the washer out it looks like it exploded and that was what it sounded like when it happened, like a bomb went off.

    We went into the garage after hearing the loud bang followed by slamming sounds to find our washer pushed way out from where it was and the sides are bulging out like it was going to pop. I never expected to have such a short life for a washer and it to break like that for no reason, even though it never did work correctly.

    I spent a lot of money for something that only lasted three years. I should have kept my old one. I had it for over nine years and gave it away to get this set. The people I gave it to are still using it. Also, when the washer broke and went banging across the floor, it caused the washer to slam into the dryer which was sitting next to it causing multiple dents in the dryer. I’m very upset to find so many of the same complaints from people who experienced the same malfunctions in these dryers. I feel like I purchased a faulty product as did so many others. Times are very tough to spend money like that and be out of luck after only three years. Horrible. Horrible experience. I spent $1800 for the set, now what? Never again, Frigidaire.

    I purchased a Frigidaire Gallery Dryer from Lowes in about Fall 2008. Since the purchase of my dryer (when it was brand new), it has ruined my clothes. There are two issues with my dryer that Frigidaire decides to ignore since my one-year warranty is up even though this has been a problem since I bought it. The first issue is that clothing, such as bras, thin strapped tanks, etc. get caught on the lint trap and twist until they become broken. The second issue is that clothing with buttons or snaps get caught in the drum where they twist until they snap. Not only does it ruin my clothes, but also I have to figure out how to get the button out of the drum.

    This dryer has ruined at least two garbage bags of clothing. There were many things my infant daughter did not even get to wear. When I called Frigidaire, they said that they would purchase replacement parts if their authorized "fix it" guy decided there was a problem. The problem is not a part? If you buy a new lint catcher, it is still going to be in the same place and catch my clothing. If you put the exact drum in there, it will do the same thing as well. Like I said, it has been like that since it was new! My sister, who has one as well has the exact problem, so what are the odds?

    We have a Frigidaire Affinity Washer that is just 2 years old. Three months ago, on March 17, it wouldn't spin or drain. We spent $471 to replace the water pump, which the technician said had been damaged by debris. On June 14, we had the same problem. This time, the technician just cleaned the pump which he said had a sock caught in it. Although the pump was still under warranty (just barely) the service call cost 199.00 for labor. Last night, the washer failed, again, with the same problem. It won't spin or drain. Although it's only been 9 days since the last repair, the service company says that they cannot exchange the broken water pump for a new one, so, if we choose to have the machine repaired, it will be about $500.

    Here's my question. From reading many posts, this seems to be a pretty common problem with this washing machine. Why is debris - or a sock for that matter. Able to get to the water pump so easily? Isn't this a design flaw that Frigidaire should own up to and provide a retrofit at no cost to those of us who are having this problem with their product?

    I have had Kenmore's and Maytag's that have lasted for many, many years. In fact, a Maytag that I gave away just had a 20th birthday and is still going strong. When I mentioned this to the Frigidaire service manager, he shrugged and said that my Frigidaire is a "more delicate machine." I bought this machine because it was a highly rated heavy duty piece of equipment. I either have a lemon or these machines are built to break after two years of use. Either way, I have already paid for this machine twice, between the purchase price and the repairs. I'm frustrated and angry. We paid $889 for the machine and have paid $670 in repairs, so far. The current repairs are estimated at $500, so we either repair the machine or buy a new one. Neither is a good option.

It also does the same thing with T-shirts that have anything printed on them.

This dryer has ruined literally hundreds of dollars worth of clothing (including yet another brand new pair of shorts with drawstrings that managed to slip by me today), much of it only worn once before being ruined.

    After the 2nd Frigidaire dryer FEQB4000FS unit has caught on fire for the 2nd time, I decided to confirm via Internet that the problem is not due to our 6 feet+ ventilation run or 3 cats. We had presumed our problem was unique and due to the condo design, or perhaps the hair from the cats although you would expect hazards such as these would be communicated to consumers prior to purchase. Since the units are stackable, we cannot replace one or the other with a different brand, so to get away from this nightmare requires a significant investment. The first dryer had caught on fire 3 times or so. We have become cognizant of our inability to leave the home while drying clothes, and the exercise of disassembling the dryer from the washer, wife holding fire extinguisher in 1 hand while I pull the top off to determine our danger has been one which we have perfected.

    Unfortunately, after a complete tear down of the 1st dryer following the 2nd fire things were never the same. There was too much wobble, which is what causes the problem with these units turning themselves on and off at random. So now our 2nd unit is catching fire and time the heat comes on I can feel it in the very back top of the machine. I'm going to keep trying to clear out whatever it is that is causing the fire, hopefully, without setting the neighborhood ablaze or having to blow $1200+ on replacing the whole ** thing.

    I can confirm that mostly everything I have read on this site is exactly what we have been dealing with. Following this recognition, I think we can make the following points: (1) Both units have a problem where if you push down hard on the top front of the machine it will result in the unit thinking you are turning itself on or off. If any screws are loose or if the mounting is not perfectly tight, you will swear they are possessed.

    If not tended to, this problem will eventually become permanent regardless of mounting issues. (2) The washer always has water remaining in the front well after a cycle. If you do not leave the door open when not in use and make sure to dry as well, you will have mold problems. (3) The dryer has gaps in the top where the drum meets the front of the machine. I feel it is safe to assume that this part of the machine which is guaranteed to chew up bras is also the culprit responsible for lint, dust and other particles which are supposed to be caught in the trap to accumulate in areas of the machine which heat. (4) There is a metal ring at the back of the machine which covers the wire responsible for heating. The wire ring heats up just like an oven burner, it will glow red and attempt to regulate heat according to the High, Med or Low setting. This is where the particles accumulate and there is no way to clean it out thoroughly, either call a repairman 4 times a year or attempt to burn it off without taking your house down with it.

    I purchased a new frontload washing machine in January 2009. I loved how it performed; it even save me drying time, but it was not more than a month before it did not work. Then the repair man came out time after time after time. Finally, they replaced the machine. The second machine was no better, and out of frustration, I got rid of the machine. $1300 down the drain. But there is more.

    The repair people who came to my home accused me of all kinds of things. "It has too much soap in it." Of course, it had soap in it. I put the clothes in to wash, added the correct amount of soap, and the machine did not work. So I took the clothes out. The machine had not gone through the cycle, so the soap was still in the machine. Yet, this bozo was willing to accuse me of using the wrong amount of soap and if that was not enough, said it was the wrong brand. The first repair man was at least a little subtler in his accusations.

    I have and will tell people about my Frigidaire experience and with the people they recommend, and I will tell them never to do business with them or the people they were bought out by.

    I purchased a new front load washing machine. It had a bad seal and water ran out of it and damaged ceiling and carpet below. I provided risk management team with information required. They sent out an insurance adjuster from Crowford Insurance. I have been asked to work with them but risk management contact gets no response from the risk management contact. I have also called her at least a dozen times with no call backs. It seems they are just hoping that I will give up. I am very frustrated as the damage was extensive and I want to get it repaired. I have no idea how or where to escalate this issue.

    I bought a Frigidaire Laundry Center Model LEH1642DSO in September 2004. In June 2009 the dryer began making horrific clanging noises and had to be repaired to the tune of $299. Yesterday I had to pay another $243 to have the washer timer replaced, for a total of $542 in repairs to date. If mine breaks down again, I am going to heave it out the door and never, ever buy another Frigidaire or Electrolux product again. Manufacturers used to take pride in their products. Now they seem to take pride in how efficiently they can rip off customers and fill up landfills with their junky products.

    We purchased a front load Frigidaire washer model GLTF294OES1 in Feb. of 2006. It needed it's first major repair in July 2007 when the basket drive pulley belt broke. The second major repair was needed in November of 2007 when the drive pulley cut into the outer tub and the outer tub started leaking and failed to spin. It had to be replaced along with bearings. Now in March 2010 at just 4 years old, it is leaking again and won't spin. They say it needs an inner tub, outer tub and bearings and is more expensive to fix than it is to buy a new one. When I called Frigidaire customer service and complained that I had a lemon, they told me I should have purchased an extended warranty and it was no longer their problem. A washer that cost over $700 should last more than 4 years. I will never buy another Frigidaire.

After numerous calls to Hector S. (Manager) on 3-16-10, we went in person to talk to Hector S. He was rude and curtly told us. He would not take the washing machine back because it is now considered "used". He ignored my calls and never acknowledged my email photos of the malfunction and ignored my voice messages to him.

    My washer, purchased in 2006, was never able to be leveled. It is on a pedal stool that I purchased at the same time. They came out 11 times to level it, as it has never spun correctly, and walks all over the garage. The feet and pedals were removed, but nothing changed. Now, the metal rim around the rubber is broken, and the door is misaligned, and the paint around the inside door is peeling, and it does not shut correctly, or wash a regular sized load, without walking. It also leaks. Great buy huh? They came only until the warranty was expired, even though the problem was never fixed. It is now my problem, and my own expense. The washer is useless. It caused damage to my wall in the garage where the washer slams into it while spinning.

    I purchased a washer/dryer 8/19/08 which has proven to be one of the worst decisions I have ever made. The washer (ATF6700FS) has had the door hinge repaired twice and needs to be repaired again. The hinge obviously is too weak to handle the weight of the door and eventually the door begins to sag resulting in a bad connection when closed resulting in a sound similar to a 747 taking off in my laundry room!

    I purchased the extended warranty on the washer because I know this will continue and I hope that the recall or class action suit will hurry up and come on. This washer is waiting to break. The dryer GLEQ2152ES is the worst of the two though. There is a small gap between the tub and the housing of the dryer that catches strings, straps, small washcloths (you name it) and results in torn up clothes and a loud thumping during drying. I mentioned this to the repair guy and he said "you need to get a lingerie bag for the small things", excuse me, is a wash cloth something that should have to be put in a mesh bag to be laundered? My son is 6'4" and 230 lbs. His sweat pants won't fit in a mesh bag! We have ruined numerous pairs of shorts, sweats etc (Nike, under armor) and they are not cheap.

    I also am concerned about how hot the dryer gets at times. We are faithful to clean out the lint filter and keep hose unrestricted. You can barely put your hand on top of the dryer after drying a heavy load (towels) because it is so hot. This is an accident waiting to happen and I know somebody will have a dangerous fire as a result of using this appliance. Never leave home with this dryer running or run it after you go to bed! Do not buy this!

    It took only 15 minutes for an authorized repair person to tell me that my Frigidaire Stackable Full-Capacity washing machine is condemned. The gasket is broken and is leaking lubricant which will cause the bearings to dry and break. This causes the entire machine to break down and start leaking water. It is a manufacturing defect originating from the factory. It means that the cost to repair is well over the amount that it will cost for me to replace it.

    And, since I purchased a stackable unit, I will have to pay extra to replace a dryer unit that, at the moment is working and does not need repair. Are Frigidaire parts made of plastic, glue and tape? My conclusion, since this unit is only 3-1/2 years old, and I paid $730 for it and used it maybe, an average, 1 to 2 times a week for light and normal washing, is that I absolutely will not ever purchase another Frigidaire product again as long as I live. I will make every effort that whatever "name brand" is stamped on a product I plan to purchase, that I will make sure it is not manufactured by Electrolux or Frigidaire, since the company does not stand by their parts, labor or products to last longer than 2-3 years, under normal care and usage. And, there is no care for their customers to be satisfied. I was told that my unit was too new to be warranted. Basically what this means is that Frigidaire sells products so substandard now that they cannot stand by them and provide consumers with any parts if they fail. "Give us your money and you are on your own, so good luck", is Electrolux's, (manufacturer of Frigidaire), message to the customer.

    I have spent countless hours babysitting my washer because it was too noisy to leave alone during a normal wash cycle. I spent 5 hours of paid vacation time out of my day from work, and also paid $62 for a scheduled repairman to come to my home to find out why my washer was knocking within 15 minutes. And now, I have no washing machine. I lost a total of $900+ and will now have to lose more valuable time to locate a new washer and dryer, purchase it, and schedule to take additional time off to have it delivered and installed properly. Why is this happening? Can't the government do anything to step in and help consumers who are taken by companies who manufacture substandard goods to sell and are getting away with it?

    I originally purchased a Frigidaire Affinity front loading washer/dryer with matching pedastools on10//4/08. Because we were having remodeling done, the appliances were not installed until November, 2008. These appliances, along with four other appliances (thank God not Frigidaire), were purchased at Blonders Discount Appliance Center in Levittown, PA. The washer/dryer and two pedastools total cost was $2,177.76. In addition, we purchased an extended five year parts and labor warranty at a cost of $129 per appliance.

    Within six months, the washer would quit prior to the cycle being completed. There was no rinse or spin cycle, leaving a pool of water in the base of the drum. Countless parts ordered and service calls by A&E Service in Pennsauken, NJ in an attempt to fix the problem, were not only inconvenient, but ineffective. Parts included a heating element, a new pump, a new motor and bellows. Finally, Frigidaire agreed to replace the original washer. My problem would be solved! No!

    In November, 2008, I received a replacement washer (and dryer due to the inability to match the original color). I actually went with white, thinking I'd make this replacement easy.

    In December 2009, my new washer (Model #FAFW3577KW1) would turn itself on, lights flashing and beeping until I finally had to pull the plug. Again, I called to A&E Factory Service. The serviceman arrived and actually suggested that I shouldn't run the washer and dryer at the same time. No, he was not joking. It gets worse. He thought it was the lock on the washer door, but decided he would not even touch the appliance until I had a separate circuit placed in the laundry room. For 25+ years, I have used this outlet to both wash and dry clothes without any problems.

Also we bought a 5-year extended warranty for an additional $169.96. No problem with the dryer but the washer stinks and is full of mold. I have been leaving the door open, which isn't safe because my 10-year-old found my 3-year-old daughter in the washer with the door closed the other day.

    She was fine, but I have tried to scour the rubber seal and run vinegar through the cycle also to no avail. I am trying to get the company to take this back. I have already called Frigidaire and they say that their warranty was only for 1 year and that I have to deal with the company that sold us the 5-year warranty. So far, Jim L has avoided me since a couple weeks before Christmas, when he said, "I'm on this."

    I purchased a Frigidaire washing machine in Nov 2007. After only two years, the drum broke and per a service repairman recommended by Silver City (the store I purchased the washing machine from) could not be repaired. He also said this was a common problem with Frigidaire washing machines. This was subsequently reconfirmed by a salesman at Silver City, as well as a second appliance repairman.

    Frigidaire offered a 30% discount ($165.00) towards a new machine. This is not an acceptable resolution for two reasons:
    1) A comparable machine is $600.00 plus tax and installation, so I still have to pay a minimum of $435.00 to replace a washing machine that is only two years old.

    2) Since Frigidaire washing machines have a history of breaking prematurely. I am at risk of being in this exact situation again two years from now if I repurchase another one.

    I have requested several times that I want the rebate in cash based on the two factors above, they just keep re-offering credit towards a new purchase.

    I called a store recommended repairman after my two year old Frigidaire washing machine broke. He advised that the drum was broken and it is more expensive to fix than to buy a new one. He also said that this is a very common problem with Frigidaire washing machines. This statement was reconfirmed twice, once by another repairman and once from a salesman at the Silver City, the store I purchased it from.

    So there are three concerns:
    1) A two year old machine broke first place.
    2) The repair is more than a new machine making it worthless.

    3) This is a well known, common problem that Frigidaire has ignored.

    The proposed resolution by Frigidaire was 30% off a new Frigidaire product. Let's do some math and make a logical conclusion. The credit calculated to $165, a new, comparable washing machine costs on average $600. The net benefit to Frigidaire is an additional sale of $435.00. I, on the hand, would have paid $435 to replace a washing machine that was only two years old. I am at a loss as to what the benefit to me, the customer is. Since I was not able to draw a logical conclusion as to how their offer is in the best interest of the consumer, I have opened it up for discussion on Facebook, Twitter and every blog regarding appliances I could find.

    Now, thousands upon thousands of people in cyberspace know my experience and look to purchase their next washing machine from a different manufacturer who produces quality products.

    Absolutely disgusted with Frigidaire appliances.

Today, I called to have the refrigerator fixed. It is not running, ruining everything inside fridge and freezer. I had a GE dryer that lasted 20 years and still using another Kenmore refrigerator that has been working over 20 years. You would think with the money you spend on these appliances they would last more than 5 years! Repair expenses during extremely hard economic times. Loss of all food in freezer, most in refrigerator. Added prices of items = $828.

Our washing machine smells so bad sometimes it makes me sick. I can't believe how our towels smell after they get wet again from drying us off after a shower.

    On the 5th of January, I put a small load in my Frigidaire dryer with model number FER641FSO. I went back to folding and putting away my children’s clothes when my oldest son yelled that the kitchen was on fire. He made sure his brothers got out and I went to see where the fire was. That's when I noticed that it was my dryer on fire. After the fire department put it out, the fire marshal said, from the way it looked, he would say either the fan quit turning or the motor locked down so that is what started the fire.

    It's been over a week and we still cannot get any answers. So my four boys, my boyfriend, and I are out of our house and have no clue when we can return.

    I purchased a brand new Frigidaire stack washer/dryer from Lowe's of Fashion Valley on May 2, 2009. Within days of its delivery, I had problems with it periodically not spinning, not tumbling or not completing a wash cycle. I called a service tech out on June 3, 2009. He was very kind but stated all functions were working properly and that these front loader washers have a mind of their own. I knew things weren't working properly, but how could I argue with the expert? In all fairness to the tech, these problems would only manifest themselves intermittently. So I dealt with these problems mentioned above for 6 months, thinking that I'm the problem; constantly being told by friends that I either didn't have a full load or that the load was too full.

    During this time, I went through numerous bottles of detergent (not to mention clothing damage and fading from sitting in pools of water). I also used way too much water and electricity by having to do loads over and over again thinking, "OK I did it wrong and I'll get it right this time." Well eventually it just stopped working altogether and upon the tech's second visit on June 3, 2009 (I was too embarrassed to call sooner), it is determined that I need a motor and speed control. Wait, didn't I just say that I purchased a brand new Frigidaire stack washer/dryer? Although this is not a MasterTech issue per se, their customer service started out OK but then deteriorated after the second or third call.

    I was told by Mark (the tech) to ask for Elvia. Well getting to her was like trying to get through to Fort Knox. Am I upset? You bet! Upset at Lowe's for taking 15 days to deliver my unit when promised 7 days or less. Upset at Frigidaire for supplying me with a substandard unit and MasterTech for making it difficult for me to speak to whomever I was told to ask for. If there was such a thing as a rewind button, this would be one of those times that I would use it. I'd probably go to Home Depot or Sears and I would certainly purchase something other than a Frigidaire.
