This is the worst consumer product I have ever bought. Worse than any bad dell laptop or any other appliance. The sad thing is, that it does a great job washing dishes and is pretty quiet while doing it. Frigidaire seems to think that their solution to a ventless design is to let steam escape during drying from out the sides and top of the door. Within 6 months, my cabinets and doors were ruined by the constant steam. The finish peeled and cracked. was covered under warranty by maker of cabinets but clearly wasn't their fault. Then a few months later, the thing started blinking and would only sporadically respond to button presses and would only do random things not necessarily what I pressed. Service came out and replaced buttons and circuit board (under warranty). That circuit board started to cause my dishwasher to randomly make crazy noises at random times of day regardless of whether or not the dishwasher was actually run that day. Came out again and said they could not duplicate the problem, I asked them to stay until it did it again, and of course it started doing it again at 2am so they had left. Well, now I can get a new circuit board because it died again. lights blinking, then nothing. oh wait, nothing but then 5 minutes later burning smell and smoke. unplugged unit, thankfully I was home and prevented a bigger fire or explosion. Now it is past warranty and repair is $200 for the same crappy circuit board. if you ever get a chance to look at the circuit board, it resembles the technology of your old atari 2600 but actually costs more, does less and is extremely prone to failure. Over the years, frigidaire has made small changes to the design from an aesthetic point, but not from a functional point, the newer 2010 model still has the same lousy design. do a search on frigidaire circuit board failiure or frigidaire fire or frigidaire cabinet steam and see the many complaints. some have even gone so far as to make their own site dedicated to the problems with dishwasher. i am hoping to get a few more months out of this piece of garbage and find something else on sale. a complete waste of hundreds of dollars. so 1 year, 2 replaced circuit boards, should have been 3, replaced cabinet doors and have had a total of 3 weeks of no dishwasher.
Looks nice and sleek but is a pile of junk June 1, 2010

This dishwasher was actually one of the gifts given to the audience on one of the Ellen Degeneres shows. Our friend didn't need it, so she sold it to us for less than retail. Once it was installed, I noticed how cheap the sliding pull out racks were. I also noticed that the spray arms / wands were plastic. We have had better quality dishwashers over the years and as I recall, all the spray arms were metal. I must say that it was very quiet and worked fine for about three weeks.
After about the third week, the door started making a very loud and annoying "squeaking" sound every time it was opened and closed. I had a repairman out two different times. He tried lubricating the hinge but because the problem was actually deeper into the unit, squirting it with WD-40 only helped for a few days. (I was told later by an appliance tech that this model was not built with adequate wheel rollers that are used with the tension line which operates the counter balance on the door)
I finally convinced Electrolux (the mother company) to replace it, but nobody followed through for us for weeks. In the mean time, the spray arm located on the top of the unit fell completely off. I was able to snap it back into place because it is made of cheap plastic. It kept falling off again during use. I was so upset that I contacted Electrolux and insisted on talking to the furthest person up the line I could get to so I could honestly tell them that I was so surprised what a lousy product Electrolux would sell. I know it's got Frigidaire's name on it, but it is an Electrolux product. I told them that we have had one of their bullet-proof vacuum cleaners for 20 years, so assumed they were a quality company and couldn't believe they would sell such a horrible dishwasher. From that point on, I can say that their customer service kicked in and they stepped up their efforts and arranged to have it replaced qickly. The Gallery was out of stock so they upgraded me to the top of the Frigidaire line "Professional" series and it was delivered within one week. I had the appliance man carefully open this "top of the line" machine up and upon me seeing the exact cheap racks and plastic wash arms, I had him put the box back together and leave it with me. I sold it cheap, new in the box off Craig's list and am now again looking for a quality dishwasher just as you are. Do not buy this dishwasher! You will be sorry. I read the other review on this same model and could only shake my head.
Piece of Junk July 14, 2010

I purchased this model at the end of March, 2010 and the motor was already replaced by June 15th, 2010 due to a loud squeaking/whistling noise during cycling. My dog would even tilt his head because the whistle was so loud. The repairman told me that the motors on this model has been giving people trouble with noises so he replaced the motor. He told me he as replaced a lot of motors for this model. Here it is now July 14th and last night I ran the dishwasher with a full load and now the motor is making a horrific grinding noise to the point where I have to stop the 90 minute cycle because I cannot stand the noise. I do NOT recommend this model at all. Piece of Crap!
