We finally finished out kitchen and dining room remodeling project just before my first knee replacement in November of 2013. We started in January by enclosing the porch and tearing out the brick and cinder block wall between the porch and dining room. We used three different contractors to do all the work and two of them lied to us. But after eleven months it was worth the wait and it was just in time for our daughter’s wedding.

We wanted good but reasonably priced appliances and chose the Frigidaire Professional line for all our appliances in our new kitchen.

That was a terrible mistake.

Within eighteen months the Frigidaire oven’s electronic control board (ECB) got fried after we used the self cleaning feature. We only used it th eone time. I complained to Electrolux, Frigidaire’s home company, and they sold me a new ECB for $157. So a $920 oven now cost me $1,077. And we are afraid to use the self cleaning feature again.

Later that year (2014) we found a piece of, oh I dunno, rubber or latex or some kind of plastic on the floor of the Frigidaire dishwasher. It was partially melted by the heater coil. Eventually I figured out that it was a gasket that fell off the bottom of the washer’s door. A new one cost me about ten bucks.

Last summer the ECB for the Frigidaire microwave oven went kablooey for no reason. It is on it’s own protected circuit with no other outlet attached. I threw the damn thing out (wasn’t about to plunk down whatever for another board for a shit appliance) and bought a nice stainless steel LG microwave at Home Depot for $170. That was $400 out the window, that;s what we paid for that overpriced piece of garbage.  It went to the curb. Metal scrappers picked it up in a heartbeat.

Now last month the ice maker in the Frigidaire refrigerator went nuts. Some sort of plastic fitting and a white electrical cord fell out of the ice maker. After that, half the time the ice comes out in great chunks, not separate cubes like it used to. This clogs the machine and makes it almost impossible to take the tray out as the big chunks of ice cause the tray to jam inside the ice maker.

I will have to call a repair man to fix this. I have no idea how much it will cost me.

I complained again on the Frigidaire Face Book page. “Oh contact us and we’ll see what we can do…” Bullshit. This is what I am doing. I will make separate blogs that will educate the public about the crap that Frigidaire makes.

These appliances cost me thousands and thousands of dollars.They are the alleged top of the product line.They are CRAP.
Do not purchase Frigidaire appliances.
