Poor Frigidaire Warranty Registration Process for Appliances
I had trouble registering my newly purchased Frigidaire microwave, Model #FM0S1846BS, for warranty coverage. I purchased the microwave from a local appliance dealer - Coast Appliances in Surrey, BC, Canada. The store where I purchased the microwave said they were shutting down and that if a problem occurred with the appliance within 1 year, it would be covered by the Manufacturer’s Warranty, i.e., Frigidaire’s Appliance Warranty. All I had to do was register the microwave for warranty coverage with Frigidaire. I tried registering my microwave multiple times online through the Frigidaire website warranty portal, but each time, I received the message “Oops, there was a problem.” I called their Service Desk (Call Centre) and explained the problem I was having. I was told there was little that could be done on account a) the microwave was old (manufactured over 6 years ago) and b) that it could not be registered because it was a clearance item. (On a sticker within the microwave it had a manufacture date in 2026.) The call centre rep told me to email them through a specific email address, if I should require further assistance regarding this matter. I wrote my concern to the email address and received a bounce-back - there was no such email address in existence. I then decided to go back to the website portal one last time to see if I could register my microwave. Strangely enough, this time I received a message that the warranty registration process had gone through, i.e., it was now registered. Additionally, I was informed that I would be receiving an email confirmation of the appliance registration - none came. I texted the web portal again about warranty coverage and was then told that the warranty for the appliance was in place - this time I was given a Warranty #. When I asked for a confirmation email that the warranty was in place, I was told none could be provided. They said that they were taking steps to improve their online warranty service. What can I say about their warranty registration process - extremely poor. I give them an "F", a failing grade.
