In 2015, Edison Company was giving away these Frigidaire Front Load Washers to disabled and elderly at no cost. I have had nothing but problems with it since 2017. because it kept leaking large amounts of water in my Utility Room. Over time, I had a few plumbers come in with various excuses as to why it wasn't working but they wouldn't return my phone calls when the leaking persisted. Now my floor is corroded with a huge gaping hole near the back door and each time I've had it fixed over the last 3 years, it's leaked even more water afterwards. The thing is that it's sporadic and it would work fine for a few months then start leaking a few months later, so it's been this constant problem.
I had a repairman come in yet again a month ago and he said the drain pump was broken. He charged me $200.00 to repair it and he supposedly replaced it, but 3 days later, I had water pouring out of the machine from the bottom, as usual. He came back a second time claiming it was a string from one of my shirts that got caught under the rubber lining of the door, but the water was coming out of the back of the machine not the front. He left without fixing it and never called me back again, even though I texted and tried to call him several times. Come to find out this guy was a scammer repairman using a bogus company address.
This washer is a nightmare and the smell of mold and mildew that is constantly coming out of the inside of it and the stink on my clothing because of it has been nearly impossible to get out. In short, this washer is beyond defective and Edison gave I don't know how many of these to a vulnerable population.
It is unconscionable to think Frigidaire would knowingly give these machines to people already compromised physically, knowing the machines were defective. Now I find out the very part that was supposedly replaced is a fire hazard!!
If you have a Class Action Suit against these people, I would like to be part of it. If not, don't contact me because I know you need a certain amount of people to get some kind of justice in these cases and I don't have the funds for a retainer.
