defective unit

dbm4 8/19/2024

Do not buy this dishwasher. 2 years old defective item with denied recall, the outside left housing of the dishwasher leaks and gives an I4 code. Not possible to repair because the whole cabin needs to be replaced and that means the whole dishwasher. Customer service was unable to help and recommended to buy another one.

Love my little dishwasher

Charley Mazama 8/15/2024

Solid and quiet, our 18 inch dishwasher takes up less space in our small kitchen. With just two of us, the dishes need not sit and wait for days until there™€™s a full load. The dishes come out squeaky clean and the stainless look is a beautiful addition to our kitchen.

Little but mighty!

Selina95 8/13/2024

I knew Fridgidaire had a good reputation in the appliance world. I was never one to use a dishwasher, ever! The new house was an opportunity to give it a whirl. I picked out the 18" dishwasher and boy does it wash! I do wish the prongs you set dishes between were laid out a bit different but if it cleans my dishes as well as this, I can't complain! I'm always left with sparkling, squeaky clean dishes! The buttons are easy to use and set up was relatively quick, and this is all coming from an anti-dishwasher person!

Machine washes well and can fit a lot of dishes (does require a bit of Tetris). Great for a small spaces. The prongs for plates and such are slanted which makes loading certain dishes or styles of plates difficult.

There are better options out there! Don™€™t buy!

Jnkey 7/29/2024

I bought this dishwasher about three years ago, because I needed the 18™€ size instead of the standard 24™€. It does a decent job of cleaning, but the dish rack is poorly made. The coated divider tines started rusting through and breaking off less within the first year. For that reason, I would recommend going with a different brand.

Sassy101 7/21/2024

It is very hard to find a reputable appliance company for small spaces. I needed a 18™€ dishwasher. I wanted it to be efficient and also able to hold a lot of dishes, pots and silverware. This met all my needs and then some.

Good but workmanship not so Great

JimDebMT 7/13/2024

The dishwasher in function is awesome. It is super quiet and washes our dishes beautifully. I love the sleek look and installation was pretty straight forward. Had to do a plumbing work around to connect the hot water. However, I have already had to schedule a service call after3 months. Four rivets popped loose on the flange that holds the door gasket against the sidewall. I can™€™t operate the lower tray unless I push this flange in at each of the four tray rollers. Very frustrating.

Jrc8003 7/10/2024

This is a tough review in that the first dishwasher of the same model number didn™€™t work from day one and after hours of wasted time with customer service and the repair company they finally authorized a return of the bad unit. This was over a two month period. With trepidation I went ahead and got the same model, installed it and it has worked perfectly since. I™€™m keeping my fingers crossed that there are no problems and I have to deal with Frigidaire customer service again

Too much for too little.

Kranchan 7/1/2024

Painfully small and wildly overpriced. This came with the house I purchased and I have hated it since day one. It does an okay job washing but just can't keep up with the dish load. Thankfully I'm installing new cabinets now so I can fit an adult sized dishwasher which somehow costs less than the MSRP of this model.Baby dishwashers are probably worthwhile in an RV, tiny home, or a mini bar but not in a busy kitchen.

Initial observations

John A1 6/19/2024

I've used this dishwasher for only two weeks so far, and dishes are coming out spotlessly clean in most cases. The one hour cleaning cycle saves me time and seems to get the job done as well as a normal cycle. The main controls are easy to use, and the filter is easy to remove and clean. Whether the controls and internal parts are durable is unknown. My main criticism of the dishwasher so far is that the utensil caddy fits only in the far back of the bottom rack. It's a real pain to have to stoop down and either reach back there or roll the whole rack out every time I want to put a fork or spoon in the dishwasher, and it would make more sense to put the caddy in the front or at least the middle. The 18" Bosch dishwasher I wanted had a top utensil tray, which is far more convenient, but alas that dishwasher was out of stock or discontinued when I needed to buy new appliances.

SD Sly 6/13/2024

I purchased this dishwasher for a very small rental apartment that I had remodeled. It was the right size, had good ratings, was available at the right time, and matched other appliances that I was buying. I have not used it myself, but I have not heard any complaints from my tenants.

EmilyKF 6/10/2024

It's very quiet and cleans beautifully. I wish I had room for a larger one but that's not this appliance's fault! I've always wished I could have a dishwasher where the wire racks were more adjustable so my Fiestaware bowls and other things could fit better. This one doesn't have that option but otherwise I'm very happy with it.

Slcsony 5/28/2024

We chose to get an 18™€ dishwasher to allow for more cabinet space in our kitchen when we remodeled and it was a good decision. It is only the 2 of us and everything fits just fine-we run the dishwasher on the night I cook and then if we have leftovers we might skip a night. It cleans beautifully and works great. Is very quiet too.

18" Frigidaire built-in dishwasher

Moey0347 5/26/2024

I originally purchased Frigidaire 18" dishwasher because I had limited room in my kitchen. An unfortunate accident caused it to get ruined. I purchased it a 2nd time because I did not want one of the unknown brands and 18" is limited in availability. It works fine but the baskets for the glassware and also for the dishes are weird. Whomsoever designed them must not use a dishwasher. It is a bit noisy but I gave it 5 stars overall.

BFitz74 5/11/2024

In general, I am satisfied with the dishwasher. It washes and dries well. Not as quiet as my old Bosch but noise is not an issue in general. Easy to use and looks sleak and fits the space well. Still getting used to the different rack and finding the most efficient use of space.

Terrible Part Replacement Policy

AndrewT64 5/6/2024

The wheel came off and melted in the dishwasher. I figured it would not be a problem as they just snap in so one would think Fridgidaire would just send you a new 2 cent piece of plastic. Unfortunately, the only option is to buy a whole new rack from them for $140. Stuff like this is what turns customers off from brands and I can promise you I will never buy another Fridgidaire product again

Totally Disappointed

18 inch diishwasher 4/10/2024

The quality of the baskets not present anymore. The baskets both started rusting and there is no stopping them. Missing tines on both now and replacement baskets are extremely overpriced. And they™€™re back ordered with no firm ship date. I won™€™t be buying Frigidaire or Electrolux again. I will tell everyone who asks about my experience. Less than 3 years old. It does clean well, just not durable.
