Never Frigidaire (/Electrolux)
Well, there are very valid reasons as to why Frigidaire has a 1.2 review rating here on trustworthy Trustpilot, and even less so on other review platforms. Also, let me draw your attention to something before I continue with my review regarding my experience with them: When you look at ANY rating (review) number, you have to pretty much bear in mind that a "1" Star must be assigned (given) in order to post on any review site as most do not allow "0" (a zero). As such, what you're looking at here, is really more like a less-than 1-Star rating for Frigidaire. ....That ought to really tell you something. In a nutshell, it's: DO NOT BUY FRIGIDAIRE (Electrolux) PRODUCTS EVER. Their products are hit or miss; the warranty on their products is pretty lame; and their customer "service" is non-existent. They are a Swiss (Electrolux = parent of Frigidaire), money-hungry company, interested only in upselling warranty plans - and HOW do you sell more warranty plans? Well, by kind of ensuring the end-user will REQUIRE a warranty. Years ago, I purchased a brand new Electrolux / Frigidaire state-of-the-art (at that time) washer and dryer set, complete with pedestals, and all the bells and whistles. Sadly, the washer began presenting problems almost immediately and the Frigidaire customer service team moved like molasses to provide any type of coverage or repair. I too, however, was kind of to blame, as I became more heavily involved in other areas of my life, the washer took a back seat to things that demanded my interest, and I did not follow up as hard as I should have regarding them basically ignoring the issue. The dryer, however, worked fine. A couple of years later, with the non-working washer in the garage, I decided to call Frigidaire and see if I could "revive talks" and have someone take a look at it. Customer service, of course, said 'Too bad, lady - out of warranty; BUT, let me SELL you a new warranty!' (Paraphrased, but pretty accurate). I wasn't interested. I wanted to resurrect where we had left off when they had simply dropped the ball in coming to check it out while it was still under warranty. That was no-go. The agent would also not connect me to a manager or supervisor. I called back a few times - and what transpired was repeated versions of the exact same thing. No manager, no supervisor was ever made available regardless of how many times I asked. Well, about a week ago, after having placed an order for a new LG set, who knows why, but I went to look at the garage-stored Frigidaire washer and I saw that the door clip was broken. I wondered if I had just not noticed that before or if it had somehow broken. I decided that since no one touched the thing, I may have missed it and wondered if THAT could be the entire issue. I wanted to kick myself right then and there. I asked AI, it gave me the part number I needed, I ordered it, switched it out today, and VOILA! .... The washer started up. I ran a hose to it, it tumbled, and then ... it stopped again. :). Pretty much, it refuses to drain. As such, and having gotten this far on my own, I decided to try Frigidaire one LAST time. I explained that this was an issue from the very start, while still under warranty and that they have the records on that. I also made clear once again, that I am NOT looking for a "FREE" repair. I will gladly pay for it to be repaired IF it is something that can be repaired and that I gauge is worth repairing. All I was looking for is to PLEASE have a tech LOOK at it. Again, the agent told me he could sell me a $335 drain warranty that included a tech visit, labor and parts and a 60-DAY guarantee, IF it was the small drain pump. He couldn't really answer what happened to my $335 if it WASN'T the small drain pump. He also refused to transfer me to a supervisor or manage in case maybe they could answer what would happen to my $335. :). /sigh In short - leaving reviews about unsatisfactory products and services, in my opinion - is a necessary thing. 1. Reviews and ratings live FOREVER - and once companies begin learning that, all consumers win. 2. Companies with the best ratings also win through the very merited customer trust and sales generated by good reviews and ratings. 3. Along the same lines, companies with ratings as low as Frigidaire should lose every sale imaginable, because if a company refuses to go above and beyond to stand behind the products they manufacture and sell, or more so, even do the BARE MINIMUM, it is a company that does not value the customer, but the dollar. As such, I urge you to research fully before you buy, always leave honest reviews, and never to but Electrolux or Frigidaire. Oh! ... and I JUST now found this: "Frigidaire is rated 1.03 out of 5.00 in customer reviews on BBB (Better Business Bureau)." Need I really say more?
