    I really hate my Frigidaire gallery series front loading washer and dryer. Both appliances twist the clothes up into a ball so you can't pull anything out individually. When you pull one article of clothing out the whole load just about falls onto the floor. So frustrating. Plus the washer shakes so bad no matter the size of the load. They are both on pedestals so I know the shaking is partly due to that fact. But I have learned after the fact that if the appliance is on a pedestals it's supposed to be on a cemet floor which the salesperson failed to tell us. There's also the problem with the rubber boot smelling. The dryer takes way too long to dry clothes. Wish I had the washer/dryer back that these replaced.

    We recently tried to replace water filter in our 8 yr old Frigidaire side by side fridge. The filter design has been changed since last replacement in 2009. New filter will not seat properly. Have tried 2 new filters neither of which will stay in when water is accessed. Frigidaire service 1st suggested to try to find a store with the old style, then said to turn off water to fridge, insert new filter,turn water back on. This did not work. Now what? Any suggestions?

    We purchased a Frigidaire Gallery model FGHT2144KFO in May. Liked the looks. It makes a knocking noise all the time. It wakes us up in the night. Its sounds like someone is breaking in our house. Not happy about that at all. Called a service rep. He said they all do that now. Shea's Lincoln, NE.

    I hate my Frigidaire washer and dryer and wish I could just have my old top loading Kenmores back. Within the first 6 months of ownership, I had to have the rubber seal replaced in the washer because it smelled like mold and was ripping up our clothes. Also the drain pump had to be replaced because after about a week of quiet operation, it washer started making so much noise we thought it was preparing for liftoff! Also within the first 6 months, we had the thermostat replaced in the dryer because it was melting our clothes. Also the veins in the dryer were replaced because things kept catching in them and tearing. Luckily we bought an extended warranty because here we are a year later and the washer is ripping the clothes again, smells like hell and is louder than ever and the dryer has developed an interesting thumping noise. When I called Frigidaire to request service, I asked the customer service attendant if I should be having this many problems with appliances that are only... Read more

    TERRIBLE Fridge! The Frigidaire Gallery has been a nightmare ever since I purchased it from Lowe's in Nov 09. Frigidaire will only send out a service man to repair the unit. However, each time the service man shrugs his shoulders and says it can't be fixed. Well now the unit has STOPPED COOLING at all. We lost everything in the fridge and freezer. I will NEVER buy another Fridgidaire product. I am very dissappointed. Lowe's has not been helpful either. The first problem started one month after the purchase and Lowe's has directed me to Fridgedaire from the beginning.

    1 stars (put your rating here! 1-5 stars Biggest POS we have ever bought. This dishwasher worked great for 2 weeks...now it is so loud it sucks. Don't waste your money. Save up for the LG. Know several people that have them and they love them.

    We bought the Frigidaire Gallery Series Dishwasher Model #GLD2445RFB0 approximately 2 1/2 years ago. This was the biggest mistake of my life. Previously I had always bought Maytag and this time around being budget conscious along with coerced by the Store Rep, I walked home with this Frigidaire. Within 1 week I knew I had bought a piece of junk....!!!!!!! Problems immediately apparent to me: Left a white soap film on our dishes, did not fully empty soap dispenser, and Left more food on the dishes after the wash then before I put them in! - I tried to return this piece of junk to the store but dummy me...I had bought it at a local appliance store instead of Sears as I usually did, so (in essence) I was told to "go fly a kite". Even though the Rep told me they had a 30 day return policy....he neglected to tell me they also charged a hefty 15% restocking fee if I did! - Stuck with this piece of junk I tried to "deal with it". I did everything I could to improve the washing results,... Read more

    I hate my dishwasher. It was purchased 4/1/10, delivered 4/3/10, motor replaced 4/15/10, motor ordered for replacement second time 4/26/10. Customer service is absolutely horrible so far. : ( I would love to have my money back. Do not buy this product.

    I have a Frigidaire gallery dishwasher. So far i am very pleased with the machine. It is very quiet and has great capacity. It looks great in my kitchen. I only have had it for 7 months now, and that is why I did not give it a 5 star rating. I hope it will last.

    I have the Frigidaire Gallery Washing Machine and I hate it. I have had it for about three years. It is in our bedroom and the whole room smells musty from the stupid machine. The outer rubber entrance ring around the washer gets all smelly and dirty and even with frequent cleaning I can not remove the smell. Now I have noticed that the whole entire washer inside smells musty and the clothes and towels especially come out smelling awful. I had an old 25 year old washer that I replaced with this thing and I wish I had the old one back. It does not even merit one star for the price we paid. . . I give it MINUS 5 STARS.

    Frigidaire Complaints - Bad customer service and machine Review all Frigidaire complaints Frigidaire Posted: 2009-10-30 by Naila Bad customer service and machine Complaint Rating: Company information: Frigidaire Washington, District of Columbia United States I have gone through the worst expreience with frigidaire. I cannot believe that in this day and age a company can get away with being so pathetic in customer service, technical support and in the production of their appliances. One month after getting a brand new washing machine which is still under warranty - it stopped working and the customer service of both the manufacturer and the technicians is so bad. They don't speak directly to each other so you have to be the go-between for them to coordinate them getting the spare part and the technician coming to your house to fix the appliance. They have come to our place over 7 times and still haven't fixed it. They refuse to refund the amount or replace it...they j... Read more

    We have a 6 year old stainless steel dishwasher that went on the fritz. The repair man told us that it needed a new control panel -- an easy enough repair. However, Frigidaire no longer sells the part and has discontinued its manufacture. We could locate no additional parts that would fix the problem from any distributor after a lengthy search. Frigidaire through its parent company Electrolux offered us 20% off a new dishwasher if we bought from that manufacturer. Completely abhorrant that the dishwasher would need a new master control panel after such a short lifespan, and not only that, does not even make replacement parts. We are stuck having to buy an entirely new dishwasher. We will not buy from Frigidaire or Electrolux (including Gibson, Westinghouse, etc.) again. Bad product, bad customer service.

    My Frigidaire dryer was so hot on the outside that it would burn your hand to touch it. I was drying clothes and went to check on them and they were still damp after a full cycle so I put it on again and good thing I checked it after about a half hour because the dryer was so hot I had to unplug and pull away from wall. I already had my house burn down from a dryer fire that was in the beauty salon next door. It burned down the beauty salon and also caught my rental house on fire and burned that beyond repair. My insurance agent said dryers catch on fire often so watch them. I will not trust Frigidaire again.

    Frigidaire Gallery Professional Series ceramic cooktop ranges are cheap pieces of junk and ours started burning out elements shortly after a year. After reading other posts we don't expect our other Frigidaire appliances to do much better. We will never buy Frigidaire appliances again and will advise our family and friends to do the same. What a waste of money! Our dealer said he plans to discontinue selling Frigidaire products because of their unacceptable performance. Vic from Canada

    I bought the Frigidaire ultra quiet stainless steel dishwasher and a matching Frigidaire stainless steel microwave a year ago. The dishwasher is a piece of junk!!! The dishes come out with stuff stuck on them, it takes an hour to run and you have to slam the door to get it to close. The microwave control panel went out on it about a month ago. I paid top dollar for these at an exclusive appliance store. I will never ever buy Frigidaire again!!! I plan on replacing both of these in the very near future!!!

    I would never buy a Frigidaire again. We built a new house and bought all new Gallery Series Appliances 4 years ago. So far, the dishwasher seal is leaking/fell apart, the handle fell off the oven and we had to buy a new one, the microwave has quit heating, and the ice dispenser sometimes works. I would NEVER buy a Frigidaire again. The only thing to go yet is the washer and dryer!

    I have a Frigidaire gallery self-cleaning stove with convection oven. In the middle of cooking dinner at 350 degrees, the oven suddenly went into cleaning mode and locked the door. My dinner was still cooking. The smoke alarms went off since the high temperature caused the food in the oven to boil over and the house was full of smoke. I couldn't turn the stove off nor open the door so I had to turn the power off to the stove. I'm very disappointed in this product. When I called, they didn't have a clue what to do. There is no technical support line to call. All they recommend is companies in the area who serviced the product. This is a vey sorry company.

    Absolute Crap. Bought the washer and dryer three years ago for our new energy-efficient home. Several breaks in the interior plastic baffles of the washer within 6 months. The dryer never has dried properly...I think it got its EnergyStar rating by being engineered to use less electricity by purposely not drying the clothes fully. And the beeper that sounds seven times when the door is opened is really my favorite "feature." Hello, I'm standing right here...signalling me that the door is open is, shall we say, overkill?? The worst washer and dryer we've had in 37 years of buying appliances.

    Sucks. We bought dishwasher, refrigerator, wall oven about 3 years ago. Dishasher now reqires a $300 repair so we will replace it with another brand. Refrigerator has been fixed twice for the ice dispenser which will only crush and still will not work. We built a $2,000,000. house and put these in thinking they were high end without going into the really expensive catagory of appliances. Should have bought cheap as I'm replacing anyway.

    I have the gallery stove, convection, top of the line, all the bells and whistles. This stove is a piece of junk. I have had it repaired 4 times. The repairman has changed the thermostat and all the electronics each time. the oven doesn't work properly.There is something wrong in the way it cycles. It drops down 25 degrees before it cycles on again. Can't roast anything it is never cooked when it is suppose to be. Don't know what to do. I'm thinking of writing to electolux but I don't think it will do any good.

    Just bought the dishwasher and after two wash loads, it broke. We immediately put in a repair call. The repairman supposedly is waiting for the part - it is going on 3 weeks now. I wanted to buy a Maytag since I had great luck with the previous one, but the slaesman at Lieberts Royal Green in White Plains New York heavily pushed this awful piece of junk.

    HI THERE, I STARTED TO CALL LOWES, HOME DEPOT AND SEARS. IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE ELETROLUX AND FRIGIDAIRE, PLEASE CALL THEM SO THEY CAN FILE ALL THE CLAIMS. THE MORE PEOPLE CALL THEM, THE MORE CLAIMS THEY HAVE THE MORE CHANCE FOR A RECALL. THEY NEED 3% TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A RECALL OF ANY PRODUCTS. ALSO TOO, THIS WILL MAKE FRIGIDAIRE AND ELECTROLUX PAY MORE ATTENTION TO OUR NEEDS. WE GOT TO PUT PRESSURE ON LOWES, HOME DEPOT, SEARS AND BEST BUY NOT TO SELL FRIGIDAIRE AND ELECTROLUX APPLICANCES UNTIL THEY CORRECT ALL THE PROBLEMS. ONE OF THIS DAY SOMEONE WILL GET HURT FROM FRIGIDAIRE'S NEGLECT AND IGNORANCE OF THE PROBLEM.

    HATE IT!!! Bought it new a year ago and all it is good for is a drain rack for me to put my hand washed dishes in! Rinsed off semi-clean dishes come out worse than I put them in. Can't wait to buy a different one!

    Bought a self cleaning stove for my tenant. The oven door automatically got locked and refuse to open. Stove was only about 2 years old. Call Frigidare service department.The approximate quote they gave me for repair was almost the same price for buying a better quality used stove. No more frigidaire for me.

    We had purchased the entire Frigidaire Gallery Series for our latest new home - what a mistake! With the exception of the convection oven, the appliances are mediocare and the washer and dishwasher are terrible. The washing machine doesn't clean well - my clothes never get completely clean using this machine, and the dishwasher -lets just say after the leaks, the dirty dishes and the noise - it is easier and CHEAPER to wash by hand! Save yourself money and headaches and buy another brand.

    I bought an over the range microwave Oct 07 and here by July the handle has broken 3 times. It has been repaired 2 times. I requested a better handle or a different unit the second time around, but the repair guy said he couldn't do anything about it. Now I just got done talking to sears Rapid Resolution department who stated "the technician is the only one who has the authorization to request a replacement unit, but it has to go through 3 investigations before its authorized." So I clarified for her "he has to initiate a request but cannot authorize it." This was only after I mentioned the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act. I'm mad at sears and electrolux (not capitalized purposely). frigidaire GLMV169DBD

    Hello again folks!  An update to my previous post.  So, my husband and I had been out shopping for a new dishwasher, came home and the power had gone out and came back on.  Guess what?!  My dishwasher (which the Sears repair guy said had a burnt out panel) is miraculously working!  He said he tested it and it was getting power, but had no other explanation to why it wasn't working, except that it had a burnt out control panel.  Well, thank you Florida Power and Light...you just saved me $500!  Now I've got to call Sears and holler.However, I still stand by the fact that this Frigidaire dishwasher runs forever and is loud.  We have an open floor plan in our house and have to crank up the TV to hear it over the dishwasher....

    We bought refrigerator, range, dishwasher and microwave. NOT HAPPY, never again. The cheap plastic on the over the range microwave cracked and fell apart. We cannot use the microwave and Frigidaire will not tell us if it is safe and would not replace days after warranty expired. Sorry, an "over the range" microwave should work for more than one year. Refrigerator makes a loud "Crack" as it opens. Microwave was noisy. No problems with range or dishwasher. I would buy again based on bad products if customer service made any attempt to make it right. Instead they were difficult to get to and quick to deflect blame and point out parts I could buy, days after warranty expired. Don't buy it. Spend a few more bucks and get something decent, or spend less and get something better. Tiny complaint... the LED displays on refrig, microwave and dishwasher are all different colors. It is a minor point, but clearly shows Frigidaire's lack of interest in detail. If they ... Read more

    Frigidaire Gallery OTR model CFMT148G1B2 This over the counter microwave is a nice, full-featured, fairly expensive unit. However, the cheap plastic handle broke shortly after the warranty expired, and then it broke AGAIN one year after that. The unit hasn't been abused, nor even heavily used. It is just poorly designed. However, Electrolux has been contacted and they refuse to help or admit that there is a design problem. I'll never buy another frigidaire appliance again. http://frigidairesucks.ca

    Our dishwasher is the ultra quiet 111...actually it's the noisiest ever!Nice looking in stainless,but doesn't work very well.The microwave also looks nice,but makes a noise after being on for 2 1/2 minutes .Sounds like a grinding/rubbing noise,but the repair guy said it is because popcorn is dry(?)...the noise happens whenever it is on for more than 2 minutes!Again,I would never buy their products!

    No complaints. Holds a lot of stuff, dishes get pretty clean. The trays seemed pretty well layed out, and there's some collapsible rails in there so that you can fit in big pots and things.

    Have had this Dishwasher for 5 years...never cleaned all that well- and was only super quiet for the first year. ( though it does look nice in the stainless steel) Right after the warrenty ran out ( 3 years) It would just suddenly stop working then start again after a week or a month. It always started again, so just let it go. It has happened more and more so called Sears to fix... Found out that the circit board is bad....a 350.00 repair! Never again!

    We have replaced every drawer on our refrigerator, brittle plastic, the first drawer broke within 6-months. We were never able to get a replacement. Very bad customer service they don't stand by their product when things go wrong. We bought a matching fridge, stove and dishwasher, we experienced the same quality in all 3 pieces.
