Frigidaire is such massive, steaming, flaming shit. I got a brand new refrigerator of theirs back in 2014. Wanted name brand so I skipped the Hotpoint Huge mistake.
Turns out Hotpoint isn’t so bad, but Frigidaire is designed to fall apart in months. After six months, both door handles and the rail that supports the crisper drawer broke clean off. Replaced the rail only because the other stuff was not essential. The rail was a thin flimsy POS. And it cost a fortune. Broke again six months later. I just set the drawer on a shelf and never worried about it ever again.
Try working with them…I was a technical advisor for my company certified by Nortek to fix their problems on site. Every 9 out of 10 furnaces I worked on had cold solder joints on their control board.
Reported it and brought about 20 boards with me to st Louis to physically show them instead of all the pictures.
I was told I’m. Ot am engineer, and don’t look to far into things. Replace the board and move on
I was flabbergasted that they didn’t care they had a serious quality issue. Then we ran into every furnace having leaking heat exchangers because they can’t mold metals properly. Another HUGE issue that never got resolved. Check fixes with bebt metal clips to prop the sagging heat exchanger. Terrible fix that didn’t even work
I love how much shade this throws at Maytag - the brand that will always be the best in the eyes of idiot boomers no matter how obviously trash they become.
Maytag makes decent dishwashers and refrigerators, at least compared to the rest of the crap on the market. I assume Frigidaire is the same since I think it’s basically the same company.
Maytag and Frigidaire are separate (Frigidaire is part of Electrolux family, Maytag is part of Whirlpool, as is KitchenAid). We hardly carry Maytag kitchen appliances because most of them are just re-skinned Whirlpool products with some extra dollary-do’s tacked on for the name (and especially in dishwashers, the KA is just better if you want Wpl family stuff). They aren’t bad, but when you can get a KA for a tiny amount more and get more features, or get the whirlpool for significantly less with nearly the same features…
Their laundry (which is where their name still carries a ton of weight with hillbillies that remember their commercials from the late 90s) is absolute hot garbage.
Oh definitely, I wouldn’t touch Maytag washing machines. I have a Maytag dishwasher (replaced KA, which I fixed 3 small mechanical issues) because it was on a particularly good sale, Whirlpool refrigerator (replaced an LG fridge with faulty compressor), and an LG washing machine (fixed a faulty relay). Appliances in general seem pretty unreliable these days, and there’s isn’t a brand that’s consistent across the board. My take:
refrigerator - Whirlpool or Maytag for side-by-side, Bosch or GE for french door; Frigidaire only for smaller or simpler models
dishwasher - Bosch or KitchenAid (higher end), Maytag (I have one that’s essentially a rebadged KA) or Whirlpool (mid-tier) w/ metal tub
laundry - Speed Queen ($$$$; go for old school), anything with a decent warranty, LG
In general, avoid Samsung for all three, and Bosch is a good higher-end brand.
Frigidaire makes trash HVAC equipment and the company is so poorly managed in surprised they don’t just call themselves Maytag at this point

Sounds on par with them for sure.
