At Swift Appliance Repair, we’ve serviced hundreds of Frigidaire appliances — from refrigerators and ovens to washers, dryers, and dishwashers. This is a brand trusted by many American families, and for good reason. Their appliances are known for their durability, value, and straightforward design. But even dependable machines need maintenance or repair over time. That’s where our experienced team comes in.
Over the years, we’ve seen the same problems pop up across different Frigidaire models. Here are some of the most common issues our customers face — and what they usually mean:
- Refrigerator not cooling: Often caused by a dirty condenser coil, a malfunctioning evaporator fan, or a failed thermostat. A blocked air vent can also reduce cooling performance.
- Washer won’t spin or drain: Typically linked to a clogged drain pump filter or a broken door latch. In some cases, it’s a worn-out belt or faulty control board.
- Dryer not heating: This can happen due to a blown thermal fuse, a bad heating element, or lint buildup in the vent system restricting airflow.
- Oven not heating evenly: Usually caused by a failing bake or broil element, or an inaccurate temperature sensor that sends the wrong signal to the control board.
- Dishwasher leaking water: This may point to a worn-out door gasket, loose hose connections, or a faulty inlet valve. Even detergent overuse can cause excess suds and leaks.
- Microwave not turning on: Can be the result of a failed door switch, blown internal fuse, or power board issues. Due to high voltage risk, professional service is always recommended for microwaves.
Frigidaire appliances are popular because they’re built to perform without unnecessary complexity. Many homeowners appreciate the brand’s balance between affordability and solid engineering. Features like EvenBake technology in their ovens, PureAir filters in their refrigerators, and quick-dry cycles in their dryers make everyday chores easier. The designs are practical, the controls intuitive, and the performance reliable — when everything’s working right.
Still, no appliance lasts forever. Wear and tear, power surges, or simple aging components can cause breakdowns. The good news? Swift Appliance Repair is just a call away. We provide fast, honest, and expert service tailored to your specific Frigidaire model. Whether it’s a minor issue or a major failure, we’ll diagnose it accurately and fix it with high-quality parts and care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Frigidaire refrigerator running but not cooling?
+
The most common reason is a blocked airflow or faulty fan motor. If your fridge sounds like it’s working but stays warm, check for frost buildup, dirty condenser coils, or blocked vents. If airflow seems fine, the problem may lie with the thermostat or control board — best handled by a technician
What does it mean if my Frigidaire washer won’t drain?
+
It likely means the drain pump is clogged or failing. Open the filter access (usually near the bottom) and check for debris like coins or lint. If the washer still won’t drain, the pump motor may need replacement.
Why is my Frigidaire dryer tumbling but not heating?
+
This usually means a blown thermal fuse, a bad heating element, or restricted airflow. Clean the lint trap and check the vent hose. If that doesn't solve it, electrical components may need to be tested.
My Frigidaire oven won’t heat up — what should I check?
+
Check if the bake or broil element is glowing red. If not, it could be burned out or disconnected. An oven that won’t heat at all may have a faulty thermostat or control board.
Why is my Frigidaire dishwasher leaking water?
+
Leaking is often caused by a damaged door gasket or overfilling. Make sure nothing is blocking the door from closing completely. Excess soap or a faulty inlet valve can also cause leaks.
My Frigidaire microwave won’t turn on — is it worth fixing?
+
If it’s not powering on at all, the cause may be a blown fuse or defective door switch. Microwaves involve dangerous voltage, so repairs should always be done by a professional. In most cases, it's worth repairing newer models.
What causes my Frigidaire fridge to make loud buzzing noises?
+
Buzzing usually comes from the compressor or evaporator fan. If the sound is constant and loud, one of these parts may be wearing out. A technician can determine if it's normal operation or a failing component.
How long do Frigidaire appliances typically last?
+
Most last between 10–15 years with proper maintenance. Clean filters, inspect hoses, and avoid overloading washers and dryers to extend appliance life.
Why is my Frigidaire oven cooking food unevenly?
+
Uneven heating is often due to a faulty sensor or worn-out heating element. It could also be a calibration issue. Replacing the sensor or recalibrating the oven usually solves the problem.
Should I repair or replace my old Frigidaire appliance?
+
If the unit is under 10 years old and the repair cost is under 50% of a new one, repair is often the better option. Frigidaire parts are widely available, and the brand is known for long-term value.
