Customer Reviews for Frigidaire Front Control Dishwasher in Black

Good over all, but coil distorts and can come in contact with washing arm.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had no trouble with the installation. It took about 45 minutes. After installing it I put it to the test. I like the fact that it did a better cleaning job then the old unit and it did it have the time the old one did.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this dishwasher not quite 3 months ago. It is already having problems starting and does not clean the dishes as well as I had hoped. The service man is coming out this week to repair the machine. Not what I expected from Frigidaire.

I bought a couple days ago. Looks and cleans great! The question I have is it normal for the pump to work several times when pushing out water? When water is pushed out the drain I can hear the pump continuosly and wondering if that is normal. Thanks

I bought the dishwasher less than 6 months ago and that is a decision that we feel was right. Kudos Frigidaire

Noisy- sounds like it is banging the dishes clean. Does not dry the dishes very well. Rack is impossible to load if you are not using conventional plates. Does not clean the inside very well either. Sorry I bought this model, but it needed to go with refrigerator-also horrific. Third appliance was matching convection gas range which so far has been great. 2 out of 3 products from Frigidaire does not indicate any level of quality

The installation of the dishwasher was very easy with minimal tools. The tenant reports the dishwasher runs quiet and cleans well.

Quieter than my last dishwasher. Attractive. Holds a lot and gets everything squeaky clean.

First off I can say that it is VERY quiet. There were only a few drops of water left on a few of the cups. Everything including the tub was dry. The dishes and everything else were clean. The installation was stright forward and went well. No problems. Yes, you have to furnish a power cord, drain connector, and water line but I already had these from the previous dishwasher. It is easy to learn how to stack dishes, etc. The dishwasher has most of the features and at the price range I wanted. I can highly recommend this dishwasher.

Frequently we find food still stuck to the dishes after washing. When using the rinse only feature the interior smells horrible the next day.

I've only had this dishwasher for a few months, but I really love it! It is much quieter than my previous one and cleans better than any I have ever had! I've tested it's cleaning ability by putting dishes in that haven't been rinsed; have dried on egg yolk, cheese, spaghetti sauce, etc. and all have come out spotless. I also love the way you can adjust the top shelf to accommodate different shaped objects. The only con I have found is that you can't access the back portion of the utensil basket unless you pull out the bottom shelf.

We bought this dishwasher to replace a 14 yr old Frigidaire that was starting to fade. It arrived 4 days after I placed the order - so easy!! Installation wasn't too bad, however, it took several adjustments of the legs to get it level. It is much quieter than I thought and cleans so much better than the old one. And it looks nice!

This is the second Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher I've owned, and I am pleased with this purchase. The Frigidaire #FGBD2445NW washes and dries (including plastic dishes) well. It has a sensor that determines how dirty the dishes are and automatically adjusts the number of cycles and amount of wash time for the degree of dirt on the dishes. On a recent "normal" cycle, after a few minutes the cycle time dropped to 69 minutes as I had rinsed the dishes beforehand (old habits die hard), and still the dishes came out perfectly clean and dry. Other features I like include an adjustable top rack, time remaining display, and a large silverware basket that contains no slots (I hate slots). In addition, the racks are made of nylon, so there is no metal and no rust (I've had to replace racks that have rusted out on other dishwashers). On the negative side, the bottom rack is light weight, but also somewhat flimsy and is not adjustable like the top rack. In addition, check the size of your dinner plates before purchase. Mine are 11 inches, and there is only 1/4 inch clearance between the plate and the spray arm, and this is with the upper rack in the top position. If the upper rack were in the lower position, the spray arm would hit the dinner plate.

We bought this two years ago and it's now completely broken. Cost of repair is almost the same as buying a new one. My experience is most Frigidair products are of poor quality. Big lesson. Will never buy another Frigidair appliance again.

This product cleans the dishes good and is quieter than others I've had. A good buy!

Almost anything would be better than what I replaced but this dishwasher really works well. I still rinse dishes out of habit since I only run it when full. I put some old glasses through a cycle that were spotted from the old machine and they look great now. The silverware basket is large and is inside, not on the door, which is what I wanted. I do have a problem with my long utensils not fitting in the basket but I just lay them down somewhere and that works fine. The sensor checks the level of washing needed and adjusts the wash time accordingly, that is a nice feature. The rinse aid dispenser could be easier to use. I have a hard time telling the level. I have had it about a month and no big complaints.

I have the 2006 version of this dishwasher. I don't understand how some reviewers say it is small, it's seems the same as every other 24" dishwasher on earth - maybe they had oversize models previously?? Ours works great after all these years, no complaints. We have VERY hard water. Every few weeks it will start to moan, make this loud noise, which I researched and which seems to be related to hard water buildup, not the unit's fault. When that happens I open the door and throw about 2 cups of white vinegar in there (just toss it in), it quiets down and works great for several weeks. I didn't have luck getting shiny dishes with the gel liquid (pour-in) soap, but packets or bricks work great.

Great dishwasher. Looks good. Reasonably quiet, too.

It is quiet, easy to use and looks great! Love the stainless steal inside and out.

the dishwasher washes well enough but has no space on the bottom. Even a normal size dish in the middle of the bottom rack is too tall. Forget about cookie sheets. The top rack is weak and doesn't hold weight well. If I fill the top rack with glasses it sags and makes even less room for bottom dishes.

We spent a little bit more than we were looking to in order to get a quieter dishwasher, as ours sits very close to the living room. It is definitely quieter, but at the expense of a longer washing period. Which is OK because it does come with a delay timer that is well worth the extra money. One thing that I really like is the layout of the rack tines. The way they are arranged leads to a lot of flexibility in how you can load the dishwasher. In my previous dishwasher, the tines forced you to arrange your dishes in a particular way that was not very space efficient. Though this dishwasher fit in the exact same space as the previous one, this model seemed to have more available rack space, which I appreciate. Installation could have been easier as the junction box where you made the electrical connections was very tiny and the screws to release the cover off of the box were placed in a hard-to-reach area. It is a nice enough looking dishwasher, but not what I would call sleek or modern in any way and the plastic front face seems a bit cheap. I hope it holds up for the long haul. One other minor fault is that the drying cycle doesn't always get everything dry, though this is a problem I have had with every dishwasher I have ever owned. If I am going to use more electricity by turning the heated dry on, I would really like for them to come out dry (and no, I am not talking about the water you find on the tops of cups). Overall I am pleased with the dishwasher, but we have only been running it for about a month. I would recommend it based solely on what I have seen so far however.

Washer has worked great. It is quiet and controls are simple. We are very pleased.
