Product review (1 stars): It's Tempting But DON'T Buy It!
Four years later and this dishwasher is still an absolute piece of garbage! I bought it in Nov. 2009 from Lowe's along with all the other Gallery appliances, and have struggled with it ever since. In the first year I had two motor's replaced, and have dealt with intermittent whining and dirty dishes ever since. I bought the extended warranty which covered the motors but nothing else. Frigidaire didn't care that the dishes don't come out clean, there's no coverage for that! Countless times I have to run two cycles, two 90 MINUTE cycles! On the hottest and longest setting! And the dishes come out dirtier than they went in. So then I have to hand wash them anyway. And I always rinsed my dishes before putting them in. I have tried five detergent brands at the recommendation of Lowe's, the repairman, and Frigidaire, all of which usually wouldn't dissolve all the way because the detergent door wouldn't open properly. Frigidaire made it clear that it was the hard water that caused the machine not to clean as well and dumping vinegar in regularly would help. Well that would work for one washing then back to usual. Here I am four years later after cursing this machine all along..and I came home to a flooded kitchen just like other reviewers! I determined I was finally getting rid of it! Went and bought a new one (Whirlpool), and after removing the Frigidaire I discovered that there had been a slow leak from the front corner of the door probably for years because under my floormat and all under the machine my wood floors are warped! And the side of the cabinet is flaking apart! I'm glad I decided to get the new one or I wouldn't have realized how bad my floors were, and I just can't believe what a piece of crap $500 will get you! You can't trust this machine and you won't have clean dishes!! I don't care if they "updated" it, here's your warning--I wouldn't buy any Frigidaire dishwashers. I have forgotten how a dishwasher is actually supposed to work. Lowe's just arrived and took the Frigidaire away, I didn't even want to try and sell it to someone...Looking forward to my Whirlpool!
