re: Beware of New Frigidaire Appliances

We had Frigidaire that came with the house (they were a little older) but they were all shite. We’ve replaced everything but the stove in the first two years because they just were shitty appliances.

We’ve been really satisfied with our Bosch dishwasher (had for about two years). Our whirlpool fridge is ok, but they just don’t make appliances like they used to.

Ordered a GE chest freezer for the garage and it wouldn’t get down to temp (some issue with the coolant system). GE is replacing it with one 30 cubic feet bigger because our model wouldn’t be available until June. Hoping it at least works when delivered.

We did keep our GE washer and dryer that’s about 10 years old. Even though they’ve had a couple things we needed to fix. They’re still non-electronic panels so we’re riding those out.

You are warning other potential consumers of the appliances with the brand name Frigidaire. You claim the newer ones are not superior to other brand names such as whirlpool and etc. you will be purchasing a different brand of appliance in the future

We bought a simple dial speed queen and damn cheapest Maytag simple dryer we could find. 3 years to replace an LG still under warranty they couldn’t fix and another 1200 dollar pos. They new simple ones are both awesome. Even my wife is over this shite now. We are buying analog dial shite are we aren’t alone, everyone in our upscale neighborhood is over having to replace shite every 3 years, even all the doctors wives etc are buying speed queens, and Commercial shite now, just for the hassle. Of course, this has made them harder to get and more expensive now.

People are starting to wise up on these 1000 dollar and up pos that don’t last 3 years, with 500 features no one ever uses. The 5000 ovens are the worst pos ever made btw

If you buy Whirlpool, only get the Gold models. Night and day difference over the reqular ones for 10-25% more. The swoosh in the logo will be gold.

I know exactly what fridge that is. Very common to have
-Led control failure (you can get the control led for $30 on eBay, my price is $105 at the distributor)
-Bin control board failure (secondary control board gets wet)
- ice maker freezes over or breaks
-fan seizes.

Viking is great. Ditto with sub zero. I just don't usually recommend those a they can cost the price of a car damn near. Unless people are asking for premium stuff.


Someone posted Fisher Paykel earlier. I like them but they are a Haier brand now too.

. You’ll be lucky to get two years from the ice maker. By year three the motor will sound like an unmuffled weed eater. By year four, you’ll come in one day to find the temp inside the fridge is

All of these were the same issue. Moisture getting into the fridge. Sticking to the icemaker and freezing and then the upper interior of the fridge behind the evaporator cover. The fan starts to hit the ice as it builds and makes noise. Then eventually the fan locks up and the vents are blocked and the fridge goes to the 50s.

They are shite. Better than LG though.

Yeah I remember back in 2014 at a convention and LG was unveiling the new 3 phase linear compressor and everyone questioned it. Pretty much every other fridge ever made going back 100 years has used a reciprocating compressor. A linear compressor on that scale just seemed doomed to fail.

The internal seals fail. The only repair I would trust is to replace with an Ebraco or Samsung compressor (a lot of brands use Samsung compressors)
