33 thoughts onFrigidaire refrigerator recall issued due to ice bucket choking, laceration hazards
Add me. I bought a Frigidaire refrigerator for the first time a few years ago (2022), and it’s been nothing but trouble ever since. Here are my issues:
1. The inside of the freezer cracked open (horizontal length, left internal side), which my husband covered with white tape. The plastic literally cracked wide open, and the adjacent outside (gray area) is all rust now.
2. All of the drawers inside of the refrigerator cracked and broke immediately upon purchase — the inside refrigerator door shelves are made of cheap plastic and are so brittle!!!!!
3. Now the refrigerator is leaking water.
4. I’ve wasted 100s of dollars in food.
5. I tried to talk to someone in Customer Service. This is unacceptable. This is, by far, the worst appliance I’ve ever owned in my life and I need this replaced ASAP and I need a new refrigerator!! I have little kids who need to eat!
