Has anyone recently had quality problems with Frigidaire appliances lately?
Question:About 30 months ago I bought a top of the line radiant top free standing range for our home. Shortly after the warranty expired the oven 'ran wild'. It could not be shut down at all and was not even on the clean cycle so it wasn't locked. If we had not been home it would have gotten so hot that our home would have burned. The repairman told me that this 'happened all the time' and 'you can expect this with today's appliances' as he charged me $235 ( $185 to Frigidaire for the part and $50 for the service call). Now with this replacement unit about 5 months ago the outer burner of the large and small unit setup stopped working. The small one works but the outer burners won't come on when the large burner part of the control is used. Last week the door handle for the oven just fell off. I fixed this myself. Shortly after buying the range I also bought a standup refrigerator of the same brand. The bottom most shelf just fell off when loaded (not overloaded). After -- please see additional

A very reliable appliance salesman my family has always dealt with told us a few years ago to stay away from Frigidare appliances. It seems the company wasn't what it used to be (we always purchased Frigidares before that) and they were having problems with quality. I've seen or heard of some examples of this and your tale of woe seems to be in alignment with them. Good Luck.
hi
i have and old Frigidaire refrigerator since 1957 and still runs like a new one.

See if you can find any articles on selecting an appliance (ie:Consumers' Reports).
Also check the Better Business Bureau for complaints or reviews on the other manufacturers like Whirlpool, Maytag, & LG.
