Frigidaire Dishwasher Reviews

RE: Frigidaire Dishwasher Reviews Post By l ditrapani (Guest Post) (10/09/2008) Brand new dishwasher replaced a 4 year old kitchenaid. Should have spent the extra money and stayed with kitchenaid. All new applicances for new kitchen, so bought stainless steel. Kitchen aid dishwasher was black on the outside. Well, the top rack is flimsey, weighs down when full. Hard to push in. Bottom rack, can't put too much in doesn't fit a whole meal's worth of dishes, my kitchenaid was larger inside, although the same size 24 inches. Cup opens up with detergent left inside. My water is on the hottest on my water heater, can't go any higher. Now it is coming on and my electrical curcit box is humming, stops humming when cycle changes. Had electrician here, changed curcit breaker and moved it, checked under dishwasher , it is getting correct voltage. Big problem, told not to use it by electrician, could cause a fire. I should have stayed with kitchenaid appliances, i tried to save some money, big big mistake. I want this dishwasher out of my home. Repair service coming tomorrow. Talked to someone in the Phillipines! Stay away from this company, their products are junk!

The upper rack wasn't cleaning at all. The first guy that looked at it said our water supply line wasn't big enough! Come to find out the upper rack wasn't working. Very disappointing with this $700 dishwasher. Will not buy Frigidaire ever, ever again.

The control panal fried in first year, now fried again. The soap dispenser leaks, and now the top spin arm has broken off. In 2 years, as compared to our previous Maytag, that never broke, but felt we should just retire it after 15+ years of use.

I've called Frigidaire and can not get any help at all or even a question answered. They don't have a technician that you can even talk to. I'll not recommend or buy another Frigidaire product.

Control panel has been replaced twice; now our local dealer says Frigidaire will replace with a new unit. Yikes. I will DEFINITELY be checking for water leaks, smoke, and melting plastic. Ours also has a non-opening detergent door at times! Report Spam or Abuse Dishwasher fire Post By Jeff (Guest Post) (08/16/2008) I just came home to smell burning plastic.

Soap door won't close, It NEVER gets the dishes clean. There is mold growing around the door and even on the sprayer bars! What is with a dishwasher that can't even keep it's own inside clean? I've even run it empty and none of the mold and dirt came clean. It's a total piece of crap. Never will buy this brand again. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Frigidaire Dishwasher Reviews Post By katie (Guest Post) (08/01/2008) I bought the basic frigidaire dishwasher about 22 months ago. It has never worked right. The control panel does whatever it wants. The soap dispenser door doesn't open half the time, door won't close. Start button won't start the unit, then it won't stop running. ( i have to just hit the " cancel" button after an hour or so to turn it off. ) I have an extended warranty through electrolux which is a joke. They will never replace an unfixable appliance, but they WILL refund your full purchase price of the extended warranty. Seems like that's the route to go and put the refund money towards another dishwasher but not a frigidaire. Never ever ever will I buy another frigidaire appliance. They are junk!

Since then I have had it repaired because it wasn't washing the dishes properly. One morning I noticed my laminate floor was ooozing water. We called Roto Rooter after State Farm advised me to call a plumber. The main water line was leaking water and it ruined the kitchen. Now I am out of a dishwasher. The insurance company covered it but they are going after Frigidaire for the deductible. I think I will just do the dishes by hand, it is less hassle!

It never washed good from the beginning then just after 5 years motor went. Year later washer will not start up. I have never been so upset with such a horrifying product. Better you make dish towels. Really is not funny would not even think of purchasing anything with a frigidair name on it. You should help people with all these lemons.

While in warranty we had it serviced 6 times. Now it is 2 months out of warranty and we have a new, different problem. The dishwasher runs, but does not shut off. My wife and I have agreed that we are going to buy a new dishwasher rather than spend money to get this piece of crap repaired. This has been the single worst appliance purchase ever. Avoid Frigidaire. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Frigidaire Dishwasher Reviews Post By Lisa (Guest Post) (07/01/2008) We are in the same boat with a BAD Frigidaire DW. We bought it at Lowes 7/28/07. A couple months ago the soap dispenser stopped oppening and the unit will only air dry. A tech came out and replaced the dispenser motor. He didn't test it and it STILL doesn't work. He didn't even check the heating coil. We called back to Frigidaire and was told if our water temp. wasn't 120 degrees, the unit wouldn't work! never heard of this before (this is the 5th house w/ dishwasher I've owned). Still haven't gotten resolution- Won't buy another Frigidaire. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Frigidaire Dishwasher Reviews Post By B (Guest Post) (06/29/2008) Randy, I have the same problem right now. Looks like fire started between the power terminals of the main circuit board. Luckily, we were home and smelled it before any major damage to our home. I've put in an initial request to Frigidaire. Unit is close to a year old if I had to guess. What action are you taking on this?

Last summer it broke down and the store we purchased it from had a free extended warranty. They replaced the main circuit board three times and all the other electronics two times. The appliance store finally pushed Frigidaire to replace the dishwasher under warranty that was in July of last year. Today we went to start the dishwasher and the story started again. A blinking CL and can't get it to run. I will go to the appliance store on Monday and tell them to sell me something else.

We came home from a Sunday drive to find the unit pumping out smoke when it wasn't even on. As we approached it, it was just starting on fire. We were able to extinguish it and quickly disconnect everything. Originally I was just looking for Frigidaires numbers for repair when I ran into all of these horror stories. I'll let you know how this goes, but if I get the same experience I see here, it will be a class action suit. Thanks for your input. Feel free to share additional input.

Had the dishwasher for five years no problems until today. Appliance Tech advised the motor is burnt out and it will cost approx. $350.00 to repair. Not sure what the lifespan of these appliances are but, my wife and I do not have children so the use of the dishwasher is rather limited. Just F.Y.I.

Have trouble with ice maker does not know when to shut off. Biggest problem is with dishwasher, currently the LCD reads "CL". And advances no further in cycle. My normal applicance repair company did not want anything to do with it. The one company that looked at it said the "main PCB" needed to be replaced. He also stated I could probably buy a new dishwasher for the cost of repairs. Great for less than 3 years old. This would be covered in the second year of an extended warranty but not third year?

The pump just went out and it's one of those things do I fix the pump or just buy a new dishwasher. I vote for buying a new dishwasher and getting rid of this piece of junk. At just a little over 1 year old it's falling apart. I will never buy another fridgidare product.

Schlack (Guest Post) (11/13/2007) I was doing a web search hoping to find someone who could help me with a useless Frigidaire dishwasher. Through the first year, while still under warranty, they were able to fix the door seal and the door latch but they still could not get the dishes clean. They were going to replace the digital timer but when I called, because I didn't hear from them, they decided it didn't need one. After it was out of warranty I called Frigidaire (Electrolux) customer service and explained the situation and they sent out a different repair company. This guy felt it needed a new water valve and called Frigidaire (Electrolux) for an approval. He was told that the dishwasher was out of warranty and I would have to pay for the repair. I talked to the person on the phone and explained my previous phone call to customer no-service. They said they never said they would cover the repair. Needless to say, I paid to have it fixed and it's still a piece of Junk!

They ended up fixing the problem by putting duct tape over a hole to keep the water out. Also, there is a white residue left on plates and glasses most of the time, and I am very unhappy with the appliance. I would never buy a Frigidaire again.

My husband and I moved into this house (which had been refurbished with all new appliances, including the Frigidaire dishwasher), less than one month ago. I have had problems with the dishwasher since day one. We must thoroughly rinse each and every dish that we put in it, the "heated dry" setting neither heats nor does it dry, and I just discovered that the detergent remained in its compartment during the wash cycle. So, basically, my dishes were merely rinsed but not washed. Please, if you are considering a dishwasher purchase, DO NOT BUY a Frigidaire dishwasher if you desire clean dishes! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Frigidaire Dishwasher Reviews Post By Marianne (Guest Post) (09/05/2007) We purchased a top of the line Gallery Dishwasher 6 years ago when remodelling our kitchen. It recently went on the fritz and neither a repair person I chose (who consulted with Electrolux--Frigidaire) nor a factory authorized repairman could figure out how to repair the problem. A 95 minute cycle takes about 15 minutes. The control panel was replaced 3 times and the motor once...still no working appliance. After I sent a letter they said they couldn't reproduce the problem so more or less too bad. They did say, however, that they would give me a 15% rebate on a new dishwasher of theirs. THEY MUST BE JOKING. No one I've spoken to can tell me how to get in touch with corporate either...can't follow a line of management to any helpful level.

When we went to the store that sold us all our appliances, we were told by the salesperson that they sold the appliances, not made them. Now we are awaiting a service person to inform us whether Frigidaire will be the final product we ever buy for our home.

I didn't go for stainless steel exterior or interior. Just white save money right there. If you got hardwater stains you don't want to use a stainless stain interior. My Frigidaire had that new gray interior to keep off stains. So far that works, also has digital display numeric plus LED lights, soild sensor, and everything else plus 1hr to 10hr delay start. I needed 24" huge tub plus energy star and must save water. This one does all of that! I also save money and install this dishwasher myself really not that hard to do.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Frigidaire Dishwasher Reviews Post By Robin (Guest Post) (03/18/2007) I purchased mine 3 years ago--in fact I did my whole kitchen in stainless steel Frigidaire appliances. About year 2 I began to have problems with my dishwasher. 6 months ago I had to replace the entire computer panel. Recently I started having small leaks from this and that..then finally I woke up one day and my entire kitchen floor was ruined...a leak from the dishwasher valve. As soon as this was replaced the hub from the diswasher was leaking which means a new dishwasher. For me, this has been the dishwasher from hell! I have about 3 thousand dollars to my property as a result of leaks from it plus the dishwasher must be replaced. When the valve leaked it was located in such a way I could not detect the leak...it went directly into my subflooring where it was absorbed. I never saw water. The top of my floor and inside my cabinets were dry as a bone. I had anticipated I would get at least 10 or more years service out of my machine. Perhaps it was made on a Monday...I sure got ripped off on this one! Water leaks are scary, especially when you have an upstairs kitchen. It left me wondering if their parts come from Mexico or something. Now I have had trouble with my Home Owner's Insurance as far as the floor is concerned EVEN THEY have difficulty discerning that one machine can be so flawed....as they say to report a water leak within three days...I couldn't tell what was what with this dishwasher. I thought it was repaired and then something else would happen--so now it looks doubtful my homeowners will pay for my floor and ceiling.
