FGHB2844LF4 BEWARE ICE MAKER PROBLEMSD. Gilmartin
I bought this refrigerator in April of 2011 for a new home we purchased. The refrigerator and freezer section seems to be ok, but the ice maker was less than stellar from the beginning. At 6 months the ice maker started to make strange grinding noises and was very loud. It stopped working altogether and I called for service. Fridigaire was less than cooperative in supplying me with a service person in my area and were generally rude. The ice maker started to work again after I shut if off, cleaned out the ice tray, and let it defrost for a while. It worked at varying levels until June 2012 when it gave up all together. Fridigaire is owned by Electrolux. There is currently a class action lawsuit against Electrolux for a defective ice maker of similar design and using common parts. I am currently working on expanding this class action lawsuit to include the FGHB2844LF4 FRIDIGAIRE. I will update this review when I have more information. Meanwhile, DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT OR ONE SIMILAR.
Hate this ice maker!Vonn
We've had this model since October 2010 and in that time we've had 4 service calls on it, each one resulting in multiple trips by a technician. Every technician complained what a poor design this ice maker is--"you can't make ice in a refrigerator." Either it stopped making ice or it froze up so bad it took days to thaw out. The 3rd call was placed 9 days after the one year warranty expired, so Frigidaire denied the replacement. I complained enough and they did extend the warranty for another year at least. This last call is going on 2 months since it stopped working. In that time the technician has been out 6 times and it's still not fixed. The Techline is telling him to replace the control board--again! This makes the 4th one. I've contacted the store where I bought it to see if they can intervene on our behalf. Frigidaire customer service has not been helpful. It's really too bad because I love the fridge otherwise. It's great having the large shelves and drawers. This was our first ice/water dispenser so we're really disappointed. It's really turned me off to Frigidaire.
You couldn't make ice in Anchorage with this refrigerator!Big Bob
We've had this Frigidaire refrigerator for two years, and every day we regret having purchased it, mostly due to the horrible ice maker. It leaks, it freezes up, it quits making ice, it makes grinding noises in the middle of the night, and it requires that we shut it off and restart it after 24 hours, and "HOPE" that it starts making ice again!With all the bagged ice I've had to buy at 7-11 in the last two years, I could have bought a different refrigerator!Frigidaire customer service was absolutely no help at all. They keep telling me that the water filter needs replacing. B.S.!!!**UPDATED REVIEW 4/2014: That's it...I give up. I quit. The 3-year old refrigerator has been put out of its misery and is now sitting on the curb waiting for the junk-man to come pick up this piece of crap. For three long years we have had to deal with puddles of water on the floor where the ice (when we were lucky enough for this unit to decide to make ice!) in the storage container simply defrosted and melted all over the wood floor. We have had to listen to the unit make all sorts of grinding and clunking sounds all through the night, and after six, yes SIX, service calls and hundreds of dollars spent on repairs, the refrigerator side of the unit wouldn't cool any longer so all of our food was spoiled.Shame on you, Frigidaire, for not standing behind a poorly designed product. Initially, I called your customer service many times for help, and only after threatening legal action did you offer minimal support for parts. However, when the service tech arrived to completely replace the faulty ice maker (I paid for labor), you would not replace the parts requested by the tech, and the problems were never resolved. BUYER BEWARE OF THIS MODEL!
Ice maker Trouble - stay awayjtbstar
This model looks nice and has good space however the ice maker in this unit is horrible. It worked fine for about 1 year then shot craps. We had 7-8 repair visits and after throwing part after part at it we are having to replace the unit (luckily under an extended warranty). The different techs that came out said it was a new design and is very complicated with many moving parts. The design was discontinued by Fridgidaire after this one model year.I will not buy Fridgidaire ever again nor would I recommend it to anyone. They should have "taken this on the chin" and issued a recall on this unit. Since they chose to bury their heads in the sand I will never knowingly spend another penny on anything Fridgidaire.
Do NOT buy this model !!!!Skiman
Reading these reviews is like reading my own letters to the retailer that I bought mine from !! My wife and I bought this model in January 2011 and lucky for us, the extended warranty as well. It's on it's 4th service call for the same problem, the ice maker stops working/freezes up/drips water everywhere. This time around both the condenser and dryer/filter failed, leaving us with 27 cubic feet of spoiled food. For months we have had problems with food spoiling very quickly, found out that the fridge has been at 50 degrees even though the front panel indicated 37 (yuck). French door models are wonderful in terms of versatility and space, but they all have to some degree the same problem, you cant make ice in a fridge compartment. I hear other brands are more successful, gettin ready to negotiate a trade in on this one for something else.
