Defective Unit
By -

Freezer is now only 1 1/2 years old! At about 6 months, it went into defrost mode and apparently got stuck there. I unplugged it, waited, restarted, and it fired up and did cool down. In addition, I have always had problems with ice forming on the top door and top shelf. The door gasket was always warped but has actually ruptured in one place. I should have reported it at 1 year but I didn't. I now have to pay $90 for a door gasket and hope this corrects the problems. NO, I will never buy another Frigidaire again!

Freezer very noisy
By -

Replaced smaller non-frost-free freezer with this model, as it is much larger, and frost-free. Have had the freezer a couple of weeks, and although have had no troubles so far, it is very noisy. The freezer is in the garage, off the family room, and even though there is insulation in the wall, we can hear it running over the top of the furnace and TV. We never heard the old freezer. My boyfriend commented it sounded like someone was mowing the lawn in the garage. I hope it is just a loud unit, and not making noise because something is going to go wrong in the near future.

Freezer LFFU145F5HWL
By -

I wish I had this freezer returned like the last one, The tech was out this morning and claims there is nothing wrong. Well, let me tell you... they claim this freezer is only supposed to use $66.00 worth of electricity. Well so far I have paid over $55.00 for two months of use. The first one I sent back made all types of noises. The manager at Lowe's told me there was a wire loose on the first one, never shut off. This one runs 20 minutes out of every hour. I made a poor choice and will have to live with it for a while. So if anyone out there is thinking about buying this one PLEASE DON'T!!!

Freezer conked after loss of power
By -

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -- After doing my monthly grocery shopping ($400 worth) I find that my not even 3 month old freezer is not functioning properly. Originally I thought my daughter had kept the door opened loading it too long with the frozen items I had just purchased but the next day when I find that the ice cream is melted along with the popsicles, none of the meat is frozen and barely 20 degrees I panicked. I first tried to Extreme Freeze it again and every time I did the Power Loss light came on. We then moved the freezer to the other side of the room to another plug just in case it was the outlet and pressed the Extreme Freeze button only to find the Power Loss light comes on again.

I've looked at ALL my manuals, online, and tried to call the company only to be met with the message that they are closed for the July 4th weekend. Troubleshooting only gives the consumer MINIMAL ideas as to what might be wrong (I.E. "Freezer not cooling" response "plug it in.") This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen from a manufacturer on giving information on how to troubleshoot a possible thermostat or cooling problem. No to mention what company doesn't offer Technical support for DIGITAL services 24/7?

I will NEVER buy another Frigidaire product again. As I'm reading the manual I also find that in the service section that my contents are not covered in the event of a product malfunction. Thanks Frigidaire/Electrolux in today's economy you can't even guarantee your product or the contents when your product fails. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Freezer Runs Continuously and Noisy!
By -

My husband and I purchased a Frigidaire freezer, Model No. FKFH21F7HW about 2 weeks ago. I was told in the store, when I asked if the freezer was on because it seemed to be running quietly. The salesman said, "Yes, and this is as loud as it will ever get." It was noisy from the start, and I called and complained. A serviceman came, checked it out, and said everything was fine. My husband, who has hearing loss said it didn't bother him at first, but now he says it is louder.

I am going to call the business where we purchased the freezer and return it, hoping that they will be willing to have the freezer returned without a hassle. Also, I just felt the sides of the freezer and they feel hot. I don't think that is normal. The way I feel at this moment, I will never purchase another Frigidaire appliance. Don't forget that the same company who manufactures Frigidaire also manufactures Electrolux, Tappan, Westinghouse, Kenmore, Affinity, Gibson (hate my Gibson dishwasher) and many others. Google who makes what.

I will do a follow-up with the return experience. I don't know how they will be when we return the freezer, so it's unfair at this time to even mention where we purchased the freezer.

Company Response 03/27/2009:

Is Our New Freezer Defective?
By -

MADISONVILLE, KENTUCKY -- We bought our new freezer last Friday, it's a Frigidaire (Model # FFU21F5HW) and it doesn't seem to be freezing right. I've got the temperature set all the way down to 10, any higher and the panel says HI TEMP. But nothing is frozen solid. I've got a bag of rolls, a couple frozen snacks, a chicken carcass, frozen veggies, hot dogs, and some unsalted butter for baking. Nothing is as frozen as it should be. It's almost like it's partially frozen. The hotdogs we had in there, you could squeeze, the butter you can press down and dent, and the ice cream was soft.

Now this is a brand new 700.00 freezer. Is it because I don't have enough in the thing that it's not freezing right, or do we need to go return this thing? In two weeks I'm going up to Missouri with a buddy of mine to pick up a cow that we had slaughtered. The wife is going to make me sleep outside if this thing is broken and I tell her that it is fine.

Bad Performance, Service
By -

WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA -- We purchased a refrigerator freezer in August of 2003. In December 2007 it stopped working and all food had to be thrown away. An authorized service man came and charged $65.00 and only noted on his bill that it was a service call. He had me make the check out to his personal name not the company name. On 2/28/08 the refrigerator stopped again and food was discarded again. This time I am told there will be another $65.00 service charge as well as any repair charges. We are 77 and 87 years old and on social security. I think this is deplorable.

Door Rust
By -

HOUSTON, TEXAS -- I have never had a problem with the mechanical workings of this freezer. Too bad the door just rusted apart after three years - and oh yeah - all the warranties express: Do Not Cover Rust! Okay Frigidaire - do you really think consumers are so dumb that they would come back and buy another after it rusts out after three years? I don't think so!

So let's see - work my butt off and pay $1000 for a freezer and have it rust in three years and then just because I liked it I would actually consider buying another? I think NOT! HEY - ANYONE - have any ideas on how to stop rust from the INSIDE to the OUTSIDE? Poor quality is what that is called. Make a better product that lasts longer and you would be on top!

Evaporator (Coolant) Leak
By -

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- I purchased a Frigidaire stainless steel refrigerator in April of 2006 (model GS18HTZDSBA). In the space of six months, the same model fridge has developed similar problems on two different occasions. The first time, the service person diagnosed an evaporator leak with the s and d valves in need of replacement. Additionally, the fan that circulates the cold air had failed.

Now, the first time this happened it took 2 weeks to get a replacement - foolishly thinking that getting a replacement would be faster than waiting for parts and service during the Labor Day long weekend. Four weeks later, the new replacement developed the same problem: coolant leak, and an s and d valve problem. Luckily, this time, I caught the problem early; the fridge is limping along until I get a new one.

The procedure for replacement is as follows: repairman files report (1 day), report is sent to Frigidaire by service company recommending new fridge (day 2), Frigidaire sends another report authorizing new fridge (one week!!!). Add 2-3 days for delivery and you get the picture! Hopefully fridge #3 will last a bit longer than a few weeks... One thing for sure, it's NOT going to be a Frigidaire. "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, ah... You can't fool me again!"

Frigidaire Complaint - Piece of Junk - 13.7 cu ft upright freezer
StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarEmpty StarBy -
Rating: 1/51

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -- Our Frigidaire upright freezer Model FFU14F5HWB was purchased November 2008. After three and a half years of residential use the service tech found that the evaporator and heat exchanger have failed. Electrolux offers no help stating the freezer is out of its one year warranty. Obviously there is a design flaw for this unit to fail after three and a half years. I will not purchase any more Frigidaire products.
