Nice Design but...
on May 6, 2025
Posted by: TucsonBill
Refrigerator was delivered and set up 10 days ago. Random muffled high pitched sound lasting 1 to 30 seconds. Electrolux sent a tech out to diagnose but, naturally, it did not make the sound for him. It is 12:45 AM and making the sound. I puchased this model based upon reviews stating it runs quietly. The random sound is annoying.

Thank you for your review, TucsonBill. We appreciate you sharing your feedback with your Frigidaire Gallery 26 Cu. Ft. 36" Standard-Depth Side-by-Side Refrigerator GRSN2620AF. Your comments are vital to us in improving future appliances.
Common Sources of Intermittent High-Pitched Sounds in Refrigerators
1. Compressor Inverter or Variable-Speed Motor
-Newer, energy-efficient compressors often emit a high-pitched or whiny tone when ramping up or down. These can be especially noticeable in quiet environments.
2. Fans (Evaporator or Condenser)
-If debris is caught in the fan or the motor bearings are wearing prematurely, this can create a fluctuating, high-pitched sound.
3. Defrost Cycle
-During and after defrost cycles, you might hear hissing, clicking, or even whining as ice melts and parts expand.
4. Electronics or Solenoids
-Certain control boards or door valve solenoids (like for ice makers or water dispensers) may emit brief electronic-sounding noises.
If you have any additional suggestions, comments, or concerns, please join us via Live Chat on our website https://www.frigidaire.com/en/ or through our Customer Support by dialing 1-800-374-4432.

I really wanted to love it
on May 4, 2025
Posted by: ts1301
I really wanted to love this refrigerator. The appearance is sleek and clean without the water/ice on the front. I thought I would like the water dispenser on the inside of the door. But the water, while filtered, is warm. Where is the cold water? I drink a ton of water and this is a huge disappointment.
I read a lot of reviews about this refrigerator being quiet. I'm stunned at how much louder the Frigidaire refrigerator is than my previous. And why is it making a recurring buzzing noise? It almost sounds like it's an alarm going off randomly in the freezer. I'm getting a replacement in the hopes that the next one is quieter and won't produce the recurring buzzing noise.

Hello ts1301! Thank you so much for sharing your experience — we truly appreciate your honest feedback. We're sorry to hear the refrigerator hasn’t fully met your expectations, especially with the water temperature and noise level.
To clarify, our units do not include a chilled water reservoir, so the water from the internal dispenser will generally be room temperature, aside from the small amount that may cool slightly as it passes through the filter. For colder water, we recommend using the ice dispenser in combination with the internal water option.
Regarding the sound you're hearing — some operational noise is expected, such as humming or brief buzzing during cycles like defrost or ice production. However, if the noise is unusually loud or disruptive, it may be worth having a certified service provider inspect the unit to ensure everything is functioning properly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time our family imported from London UK brand new Frigidaire refrigerator was in 1960. We were the only one who owned it in our community.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have read the other reviews and it made me skeptical of this purchase. I must say the size is amazing and it does not make a lot of operational noise. The ice maker makes noise only as it drops the ice and refills the ice code tray with water. I don’t use ice like that anyway so I turned it off. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Love my new Frigidaire refrigerator!
on April 27, 2025
Posted by: Richard75
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it to replace another brand that was similarly configured. My Frigidaire, however, has some improvements over the old one. There is more usable space on both sides. I really like the cold water from the open door feature!

Nice fridge, don’t like where the water dispenser is
on April 26, 2025
Posted by: Dogladie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice fridge, I love everything except the water dispenser. It’s on the inside of the door which makes a mess every time you use it. I have to keep a towel handy to clean up.

So far So Love!

Posted by: Frigidairewins
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are really enjoying our new Frigidaire. We love the clean look of the front and that is why we chose this model. Water inside the door and ice in the freezer where it belongs.
