Frigidaire calls from our notes, newest first.
Each entry below comes from one job sheet: the city, the month, what the customer booked, the technician’s findings, and the bill. On three of them the customer paid only the $85 call: the repair was not worth the money on one, the fault sat in the gas supply on another, and the third was a melted-plastic oven with no repair listed. The index lets you jump to the one that sounds like yours.
Plastic melted on the oven floor of a Gallery gas range
$85 diagnostic · no repair recordedThe booking said only that plastic had melted inside the oven. The range was a Frigidaire Gallery, model GCFG3070BFA. Our technician took the oven floor out: the panel was glazed with a sheet of hardened clear plastic, and white residue had spread over the metal beneath it. Nothing beyond that finding is written up as work done, and the customer was charged only for the diagnostic.
All burners low on a Gallery stove: the gas line, not the range
$85 diagnosticThe customer booked online with the model number, LGGF3043KFR, and the problem: loss of burner flames across all burners. Checking the supply line showed the gas pressure there was low. Nothing inside the range needed parts; the fix was on the supply side.
Five-burner gas range, oven would not heat
Igniter replaced · about $425A freestanding Frigidaire, model FFGF3052TSC, whose oven was not heating. We replaced the oven igniter.
Not cooling properly: defrost heater and thermistor
Two parts · about $535The diagnosis covered the sealed system, the fans, the temperature sensing and the defrost circuit. The fault was on the defrost and sensing side, so we replaced the defrost heater and installed a Frigidaire thermistor kit, then tested that the fridge was cooling and cycling correctly.
A 2011 top-freezer that stopped cooling: one defrost timer
Defrost timer · about $320Model FFHT1817LS4, and the rating label dated it December 2011, so the fridge was over 14 years old. The diagnosis pointed to the defrost timer. We fitted a new timer, put the unit back together and tested it for cooling and defrost. The timer photographed on the job is part 297318030, a 10-hour timer.
Same symptom at your place? Have the model number ready: on the fridges above the label sits inside the fresh-food section, and on the ranges it is on the frame behind the drawer or door. Go ahead with the fix and that $85 comes out of its price.
Side-by-side not cooling: the condenser fan had quit
Condenser fan motor · about $370A side-by-side with a dispenser, model LFSS2312TF4, built in January 2021. Its condenser fan motor had failed, which kept proper airflow from reaching the condenser coils, so cooling dropped off. We fitted a new condenser fan motor, then tested that the refrigerator was operating correctly.
Built-in fridge running warm: the customer asked for freon, the system needed more
Sealed-system repair · about $1,180The booking asked for a freon charge because the temperature was getting high. The diagnosis found a sealed-system problem with refrigerant loss, so the repair went well past adding refrigerant: we replaced the compressor, evaporator, filter drier and heat exchanger, purged the system with nitrogen, brazed the connections and recharged it to the correct amount.
A three-and-a-half-year-old top-freezer we advised against fixing
$85 diagnostic · not repairedModel FRTD2021AS0, built in January 2022. The refrigerant had leaked out. Fixing the sealed system would have cost at least $800, on a fridge worth about $700, so our technician told the customer it was not economical. They bought a new refrigerator instead, and the visit cost the diagnostic.
Cooling, but not enough: a cracked defrost heater
Defrost heater · about $410The freezer coil was packed with frost. Our technician found the defrost heating element cracked, with black burn marks around it, and noted it as a potential fire hazard, which the customer was told. We replaced the heater.
What sets Frigidaire calls apart.
Set our finished Frigidaire jobs beside finished jobs for all the other brands we could identify, and four gaps stand out.
Mostly refrigerators
55% of Frigidaire jobs in our records include a refrigerator, against 32% for other brands. Only about 1 in 9 Frigidaire jobs (11%) involves a washer or a dryer, against about 43% elsewhere.
Smaller bills
A Frigidaire refrigerator repair runs a median of about $360 in our records (other brands about $455). Frigidaire ranges and ovens: about $340, against about $435.
More leaks
About 23% of Frigidaire refrigerator bookings mention leaking water, roughly double the 12% for other brands. That is what customers report when they book, not a verdict on the brand.
More apartments
About 1 in 4 Frigidaire calls goes to an apartment or condo address; for other brands the ratio is nearer 1 in 9.
Two more things from the job photos. The rating labels we photographed run from a late-2011 top-freezer charged with 4.25 oz of R134a to a 2022 top-freezer charged with just 2.05 oz of R600a (isobutane); every one names Electrolux Home Products as the maker.

From a Frigidaire customer.
“Thanks for your prompt service in the repair of our failing Frigidaire refrigerator on a hot Friday afternoon. David did a great job diagnosing the problem, sourcing the part, giving the estimate & making the repair. While the text notifications for technician arrival is great, it was the fact that someone actually answered the phone when I called to make the appointment that made us choose A & Y. We will use & recommend your services in the future.”
