Happy with everything except ice maker.SkyMama
READ THIS ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A WELL OR REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEM:Owned this for six months now. It's roomy. Has a wide thin storage drawer, which works well for my vegetable and cheese trays. Has two deep veggie/fruit drawers. Jugs of milk easily fit in the doors. It runs quiet except I do notice the sound of ice dropping when the house is quiet, and it resists fingerprints better than most stainless steel.The one area where I have had trouble is the ice maker. It worked great at first, but after a few months the output diminished, then completely stopped. A repairman came out but he couldn't pinpoint the problem. It started working again anyway. A few months later the problem happened again. I called Frigidaire and mentioned in passing that the water filters through our separate reverse osmosis system before it goes to the ice maker. Ah-ha, said the service department, that's the problem. Water pressure on an osmosis system hovers around 20 psi. The ice maker needs minimum 30 psi to function properly. I also mentioned we're out in the country and have a well. Double-whammy against the ice maker.For reverse osmosis and/or wells the fridge needs a bypass filter. This replaces the regular standard filter that comes with it. The filters are super easy to change. Just open the fridge door and there it is in the back--top right corner.The silver lining in this story is once you insert the bypass filter (about $40.00) it never needs replaced. BTW, the regular standard filter (about $40.00) that comes with the fridge needs replaced about every six months. $40.00 once versus $40.00 twice a year--you do the math. My understanding is most makes and model containing ice makers need filters of some kind, so there's no way around it.
Nice refrigerator when it worksSiteReader
[NOTE: This model has gone out of production but much of the reviewer's experience should apply to its updated replacement, the Frigidaire fghb2866lf.]UPDATE Dec. 29, 2013: It's now 3 months since the first refrigerator was replaced, and I've had no problem with the replacement refrigerator. Once the freezer door was readjusted it has worked fine. . .ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've owned two of these in the last 3 months. The first one worked well, but the freezer ice maker often dripped water into the freezer compartment, leaving ice chunks where you didn't want them. According to the service manager at the appliance store where I purchased it, the problem occurred in the factory. Foam insulation is sprayed into the box after the parts are installed. As it hardens, the foam can push around some of the loose components. Occasionally this can cause the line that feeds the ice maker to recede into the cabinet. As a result, the water can still drip down to the ice maker, but it is not flowing through the hose that is intended to carry it. Using a flashlight, the repairman could see the feed line wedged up into the cabinet. But it was too hard to access to set it free. I was thinking of just keeping the otherwise good refrigerator, turning off the ice maker, and accepting a small refund. But the store service manager convinced me to get a replacement.The replacement refrigerator worked well for a week, until one very hot Sunday morning on the Labor Day weekend we woke up to find both the freezer and food compartments warmed up to about 38 F and 58 F, respectively.Read more ›
Would Buy This Unit AgainJ. Ginther
I have owned a similar Frigidaire Gallery unit (ice maker in the freezer) for 18 months now and I would NOT purchase this unit, or any similar unit, from Frigidaire again.Here's the issue - I have had the Ice maker replaced once (I'm on my second ice maker) and every so often, the mechanism freezes over. The problem is that the mechanism that fills the ice tray is gravity fed. Something goes wrong, and the ice maker spews water all over the inside of your freezer. And your ice maker... And the large gears that the freezer door relies on to open and close.So, last night, my freezer door is completely frozen shut. I nearly broke the unit (not to mention my back, legs) trying to get the freezer door open so that I could spend 45 minutes at a really odd angle with a blow dryer trying to melt and chip away at the iceberg that was the left side, back and bottom of this freezer unit.Unless your masochistic, or just feel like playing a bad joke on someone, stay away.
Would not buy this refrigerator again.sparkon
Similar problems as others. Electrolux EI27BS16J ice maker stops making ice and sometimes overflows and freezes the freezer shut with ice.
