Refrigerator caught on fire

My refrigerator caught on fire. We could smell something burning and the smoke detector went off. We could not figure out where the smell was coming from so I had to call the fire department. The fire department came and determine that it was our refrigerator. Thank God I was up and someone was at home because I would not want to think about what would have happened to our home and our two dogs. I did not know refrigerators can catch on fire. I have the Frigidaire model FRS26H5ASB5. I will never buy that brand again.

Smoking almost caught fire

3 days ago we woke up to the smell of smoke - it was in the kitchen/ but we couldn’t determine where from- the fire dept came and determined it was the refrigerator. Where there’s smoke there’s fire. It was just minutes from catching fire. I see several complaints about this very same thing. What is Frigidaire doing about this? Our refrigerator was only 4 yeas old. Side by side. Model number FFSS2615TEO. It says manufactured on 8/18

Smoking-could have caught fire

Last night about 9:45 PM my husband and I smell smoke coming from the kitchen we turned on the light and sure enough the kitchen was filled with smoke. We couldn’t figure out where it was from and eventually called the fire department.. It was determined the smoke was caused from the refrigerator. The refrigerator was on light was on but it wasn’t running. It is our thoughts that the compressor had shut down, although on, this cause it to heat up and burn. We are thankful that we weren’t asleep when this happened. The fired department was called and they commented that this smoke would have become a fire. This refrigerator is only 4 years old

FRIGIDAIRE refrigerator FIRE HAZARD

Our fridge just caught a fire yesterday, I was lucky enough to be at home and suspected of the smell. At the time arrived near the fridge, noticed huge flames were coming out at the back, and again I was lucky to have a kitchen-size fire extinguisher. I can not imagine this happening at night or while we were away etc. I was praying to God all day today (I am not even a religious person). Please be aware !!!!!

Fire

Last night our fridgidaire side by side refrigerator caught fire.. Luckily we were home at the time and was able to unplug before it got fully engulfed. It did cause some damage to the wall and of course the smell of an electrical fire. This is obviously and ongoing problem with this product and still no recall. I guess Electrolux is waiting for someone to die before they take action. I am not looking for any money or replacement as i would NEVER put one of your products in my home ever agin. just want people to be aware

Frigidaire FIRE

Came home on New Years’s eve (early, thank goodness) at 10p with my wife and two young children (who’s bedrooms sit above our kitchen). While locking up for the night, I noticed smoke in the kitchen, after looking around, I ultimately pulled my fridge out from between the cabinets and found the back bottom literally in flames. I unplugged the unit. And seem to now have a battle ahead of me, based on similar posts. It’s the Frigidaire Gallery model side by side, and while I’m grateful I caught the problem, I’m furious to find this is a known issue going back years and has not been resolved by the manufacturer!

Mold

Frigidaire GHWQ083WC1 Window Air Conditioner
Bought a new a/c 2 12 months ago. It's been a long hot summer. I suddenly started getting a stuffed up head and nose and also a terrible burning in my throat. And there was a weird smell in my house. It smelled like standing stinky water. I search in and around my house. I found it inside the a/c. The part that blows the cool air into the room is supposed to be blue in color. Mine was covered in wet white gunk. I have a very bad allergy to mold so I was not happy with my new purchase. This unit cost more than I would normally ever pay but I figured if I got a good one I'd be done for years. When I contacted Frigidaire (after a 45 minute wait on hold) I was first told they would send out a repair person. I refused letting them know about my allergy and that I would never feel safe with this unit. I was also told that this type of problem sometimes happens when the humidity is very high (you know like in summer when you're most likely to run an a/c)! I was told that they would send out a new one once I filled out the form being sent to my email. 2 days later I called again (and waited another 45 minutes on hold) since no email ever showed up. This time I was told the serviceman would have to come to diagnose it. I let her know why I that would not work for me since it would be over 2 weeks before a serviceman would come and I could not keep this unit in my house for even another day. This person just kept repeating the same crap over and over about someone having to come out. I asked to to kindly stop saying the same thing over and over since I already heard her and if she would please listen to my concern. I then asked to speak with a supervisor and was told no. I let her know I was 71 years old and this mold issue is a serious one for me. She did not care and offered no other solutions or even fake sympathy. This company needs to take some of their profits and improve their products and also hire some customer service people that actually provide customer service! Sick, disappointed and broke

Refrigerator fire

came home in the morning to find smoke and the smell of burned wires from the bottom of my refrigerator Model FFSS2615TS. I immediately unplugged it, the start relay had caught on fire. The Fridge was purchased new in 2018 so still in good condition. This is very concerning. I will be contacting Frigidaire and Consumer Affairs today.

Refrigerator started on fire

Model: FFHS2622MSF
Smelt something burning, heard noise coming from bottom of refrigerator, looked underneath and saw flames.
Pulled unit out and unplugged. Fire stopped.
What is Electrolux doing about this problem? I've read of numerous similar incidences. As one consumer said, does someone have to die before we see action from the company?

Frididaire double wall oven

We had just replaced our entire kitchen November of 2019 and on Dec 20, 2020 My wife was making cookies with the kids. She had noticed the temperature on both the double wall ovens was up and down. I took apart the units the next day to find both Baking elements burnt in half. This was a new unit installed about one year to the date. Its been hard getting anybody on the phone to discuss this issue. These elements are about $240 each. Is this a piece of JUNK or what???? The bottom stove probably has not been used a total of 6 times since it was installed.

range

Im from Canada and My stove top burners switches come on easily . I have had an issues for over 2 years no one is assisting my concerns , I did have a repair man come out last year but nothing was resolved, I been burnt, had a kitchen fire it should be in the file and always have to remove the stove top nobs for safety reasons, it not right unacceptable. I was told by one of the supervisor to buy a guard that they are not going to come back and pay for the repair man and to be careful around it. Another supervisor was so rude to me told me that there were some concerns with the range and they had some complaints but that how it is they cant do anything about it . Why should I have to buy a guard so they don't have to come out and look at the real issue why the stove is coming on so easy that is a hazard !!!. Im not a child that I should have to have a guard on my stove it shouldn't be coming on that easily its defected. My nephew had to have the same stove returned because of the little ones he wasn't told to get a guard that's not fixing the issue. WTH I will never buy this brand again, nor will my family they definitely lack good customer service and loyalty to their customers disgusting . I am a business owner very disappointed ….I never thought they treated customers this way !!!!!

Frigidaire JunK!

I purchased a side by side door refrigerator model LGHK2336TF0, serial number 4A82211167. Within months of it being brand new, it started to freeze fruits and vegetables in the vegetable tray and anything on the freezer side.

The repairman advised to never purchase this brand and that he can replace parts, but the problem will not go away as it is a design flaw. The best advice was to ducktape 2 or 3 of the 4 cold air vents located behind the crisper drawer. Unfortunately, this only helped slightly.

I need an explanation and a remedy for this junk.

fire

Yesterday my refrigerator caught fire where the cord from the wall to the unit. My kids where home and I was at work. The smoke detectors went off and they couldn't see fire so they called me and said that the kitchen was filled with smoke. Then they started screaming telling me flames where coming from the refrigerator. They put the fire out and pulled the plug. This could have turned out really bad for me. I think they need to do something before the are facing a class action lawsuit. I am going to see what my options are to hold them responsible.

Frididaire Refrigerator Caught on Fire

My 8 year old Frigidaire Refrigerator caught on fire yesterday. I happened to be home, the kitchen had smoke and it smelled like wiring. I called the fire department because I didn't know what it was. I had pulled out the stove and fridge. I notice about 5 hours later the fridge didn't get plugged back in, I pulled it out and plugged it in, it immediately had flames coming out of the right side on the bottom. I unplugged it and ripped the cardboard off so it wouldn't catch on fire. If I wouldn't have been home, I wouldn't have a home. Can't believe so many complaints about this refrigerator catching on fire.

Cooling issues / frozen bottom drawer

My mother’s refrigerator (Frigidaire Gallery) which was purchased in October 2018, keeps having issues with the bottom fruit/vegetable drawer. It freezes the food / fruit in the drawer. The technician said that there’s no returns, only keep fixing issue as it arises. This is unacceptable. Want to return for a different item. Help.

frigidaire refrigerator

My refrigerator started making crackling and popping noise. Then the house started filling with smoke. Upon pulling out the refrigerator. I notice flames coming out of the bottom cardboard area. We quickly unplugged it only to find that it was on fire from a electrical component. With all the complaints on this site. These components should have a recall. The house could have burned down if we were not home. Something needs to be done!!

Fridgidaire catches on fire

As the others have said my wife heard a crackling sound and found sparkes and flames coming out from under the refrigerator. Luckily she unplugged it and got the extinguisher. If we were not there or sleeping it would definitely had caught the house on fire and my children could have been killed by Fridgidaire. Side by side FGHS2631PF.

Fridgidaire Refrigerator CAUGHT FIRE

Same detail as all the other people who all most lost their home and family. It seems this does nothing. The company still does not care and its now 2018. Does any higher party even read this? It will not be long before the faulty product from this company is connected to a burned out home,building or death. They just do not care.
Frididare model #FFHS2622MSF is a defective model sold by LOWES. We own 2. We also bought a Fridgidaire Stove new from lowes which also has a problem documented on the internet. It may even have been recalled. If so they never even notified us. Now we have 3 Fridgidare units that need to be replaced. Who has the money to replace basically new appliances? Never will ever buy anything from LOWES or this company again. If you own one of these you should get it out of your home.

Frigidaire side by side that is 6 years old having major problems

It started in September 2017. The mother board was replaced. March there was a leak from the filter. Fixed it. Then the loud noise and beeping started because of ice stopping the fan in the back if the freezer. Now the code is popping up on the door that is saying something is wrong. It stopped cooling had to move food and throw food out. Spoiled. The codes are back in after replacing the main board again 6 years old mind you. If there isn't a recall on this there should be like last year. Model number Fgus2632LE2 serial number 4A20811316. This is so frustrating to have a refrigerator that is only 6 years old falling apart. Frigidaire you need to replac e this one and any others that are falling apart.

Frigidaire fridge fire: Serial 4A82214436

Last week my tenants in San Francisco reported that there was fire inside of the fridge. Yes, inside of fridge! I've never heard this one before until my property manager mentioned that the fatal tower fire in London was caused by the refrigerator fire (https://www.consumerreports.org/home-safety/how-appliances-catch-fire/)
Fortunately, my tenants were at home and detected the fire quickly so no personal injury and damage in condo happened. Other residents in condo hit a smoke detector button and firefighters came.
I found there were many fire incidents from Frigidaire in the past (https://www.complaintboard.com/frigidaire-l2254.html) but the company has not taken any recall action. After I spent the customer service agent today (I escalated to the higher level agent too), all I can do about this is just posting at Facebook.

Dishwasher

Dishwasher heating element overheated which caused it to warp. The element warped into the bottom of the dishwashing causing the bottom to melt through and dishwasher leaking onto my new flooring. A definite dangerous fire hazard as well!! Dishwasher is only 3 yrs old. Age doesn’t play a part of the problem, it obviously is a manufacture defect. After researching I have found there have been MANY reports of this problem by other consumers!
