We've owned this dryer for over a year and a half and it has destroyed the spaghetti straps from numerous tank tops and my childrens overalls. The drying itself is great but anything with a strap will get caught on the lint catcher-it's a terrible design...I wish we would have returned it right after we bought it.

Trying to get warranty repair now... Owned for less than a year and it literally shreds clothes. Especially baby clothes. They get caught in a grove that is along the inside of the dryer door where the drum rotates. Seems to be a common problem with these from other reviews I've read. Hope they can fix it... If not it's out of here. Too many damaged clothes.

I bought this dryer along with the matching washer two months ago. I do laundry 3 times a week, so it's gotten a good bit of use so far. I needed to downsize from a Kenmore He3/Whirlpool Duet front loading set that would not fit in my new place.

This Frigidaire set is stackable, and less than half the price of the Whirlpool/Kenmore front loaders. It's definitely a comparable item. Packed full of features, and nice and quiet. It dries my clothes well without wrinkles or tangling them all up.

FYI, repairs needed after only 1.5 years of minimal use (single with no children so I don't think I've overloaded or overused the machine). The Thermistor Control needed to replaced...cost was $107..not horrible, but disappointed that it required a replacement part so soon. The repair person noted that this is a very common repair for these dryers. Otherwise good dryer.

Dryer catches clothes in the front at the rim of the drum and destroys them. Also leaves little pin holes in clothes too!

We've been using this machine regularly for 16 months with great results. I have no complaints. The controls are very easy to use, and it has plenty of cycles and features. The machine is very quiet. Clothes dry very well. We also bought the matching washer and have been very happy with the set.

Let me start by saying that because of my experience, I will never again buy ANYTHING with the Frigidaire or Electrolux name attached to it. NEVER. I bought my dryer a couple of years ago, and thought that only a one year warranty was a little shoddy, but never did I expect that the control panels in these dryers are like self-destructing "screw the customer" systems! The dryer started beeping one day while not even turned on, and displaying error code E68, the code for a stuck button. There are no buttons stuck, and upon researching it a bit, I found hundreds of other people online with the same exact problem. The control panel shorts out after 2-3 years and will cause the dryer to think a button is being held down and won't run. Nothing is wrong with the mechanics, it's all just this stupid electronic panel. As I, and the hundreds of other people with these dryers, have found out, Frigidaire absolutely refuses to replace the faulty control panel unless you pay ~$200.00 plus the cost of a service person to come put it in if you don't know how to do it yourself!

They KNOW that they are selling dryers with defective control panels, yet hide behind their wimpy one year warranty as a way to milk a ton of extra cash out of their customers. Where is the recall, Frigidaire??? Hopefully the Better Business Bureau will care to urge them toward resolving this. In the meantime, I recommend that you DO NOT BUY THIS DRYER, OR ANY OTHER FRIGIDAIRE PRODUCT! THEY ARE SCAM ARTISTS!!!

This was a highly rated dryer so I bought it. I have been using dryers for years and they normally last 15 years or more. So I moved and I needed to buy a washer and dryer and bought this. It dried fine. But then I started to notice little pin prick holes in my clothes. I am saying to myself maybe these were here and I just never noticed . My mother was very sick and I was her sole caretaker she had died and I just moved. So I might have missed them because I was stressed. But no I brought new clothes and there were holes in them too. Next thing was to figure out if it was the dryer or the washer. It was the dryer. I called repair and he mentioned that he is getting calls like this all of the time. I called Frigidaire and told them people are complaining all over the internet about the same problem and the repairman told me he has been calls to. Mind you he said not just Frigidaire dryers but other brands too. Frigidaire and me came to a amicable agreement. But buyer beware'
