Frigidaire Dishwashers May Be Prone to Dangerous Defects

A number of consumer complaints have indicated that Frigidaire (Electrolux) dishwashers may contain a dangerous defect that could lead to property damage and serious physical injury. It has been alleged by some consumers that the circuit board in the dishwasher is defective, potentially burning the electrical board, melting wires and plastic, creating extensive smoking, causing leaks that could lead to flooding, and even starting a fire that may cause considerable property damage and/or personal injury. If you or someone you know has experienced leaking, fire, or any other negative complications from a Frigidaire (Electrolux) dishwasher, you may be able to participate in a potential class action lawsuit seeking to receive compensation for money spent on the defective product, property damage, injuries, and other losses.

It has been alleged by some consumers that the circuit board in the dishwasher is defective.

Electrolux has also come under fire for claims that its dryers are dangerously vulnerable to catching fire, according to complaints, consumer reports, and recent lawsuits. Allegedly, some electric and gas models of Electrolux dryers contain a defect that allows lint to build up in areas unserviceable to owners and close to a heat source, posing a heightened risk of fire. At least one previous lawsuit also points to a possible bearing failure that causes the drum to move and make contact with the rear heating element, creating sparks which may light lint and other flammable objects.

In addition to the potentially dangerous problems with Frigidaire dishwashers, other customers claim that their dishwashers simply did not work as expected. These customers cite short dishwasher lifespan, failure of certain parts, and subpar manufacturer response. Existing complaints regarding the dishwashers in question allege defects in models manufactured between 2002 and 2012. Frigidaire was sold to parent company Electrolux in 1986. The Swedish manufacturer Electrolux is the second largest home appliance manufacturer in the country, after Whirlpool.

If you have a Frigidaire dishwasher installed in your house and experienced deterioration, melting, or leaks, you may be eligible to participate in a potential lawsuit against the manufacturer.
