Refrigerators

Comment:

All I can say is wow. I bought one expensive paperweight. The fridge came and was working properly for about 3 months. Then the ice maker quit. They had to replace the tower cooling gasket. About a month later we noticed that the food in the fridge was not cold despite the readout saying the fridge was to temp. The repair guy came out and it was determined that there is a short in the wire and the fridge had to be replaced. A week and a half later the new fridge showed up. It never got to temp and the repair guy came back out and determined that it needed a new compressor. I am now waiting on my third fridge. Hopefully this one will actually work but I am not optimistic.

How long have you owned it:

Three-to-six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought the fridge as a Mother's Day present. Looked great, and was wonderful to organize my fridge. But it quickly developed a problem that I had seen others mention in their reviews. After 4-5 weeks since delivery, we noticed that milk didn't feel cold, so we put a thermometer inside. Temperature was set to 35 degrees on the door thermostat. Temperature was at 48 degrees in the doors, 46 in the back near where the cold air enters. This was on a 70 degree day. (Our kitchen is not air conditioned. Inside temperatures rose to 62 on an 80 degree day.)Called the store and was told to contact Frigidaire. The company sent out a repair crew 3 times, once to replace the cold air inlet tower gasket in the back of the refigerator compartment, and a 2nd time to replace the control board, 3rd to replace both. This was over a period of about a month. No good. Sent the unit back for a refund. I am an engineer with some tech savvy. I looked at the schematics and looked like the unit had a bad thermostat, since the fridge always reported that its temperature was at the setpoint. The control board didn't properly turn on the compressor, because it never knew the fridge was warm. But the repair technicians could not be convinced to replace the thermostat.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bought on 5/26/11. I have had two replacements and have just been informed that this one is unfixable too!<br />I am sick and tired of this extremely poor built refrigerator! Frigadare tells me this IS NOT A Common Problem...Am I the only one having consistant problems with the Icemaker?

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
