After using my Affinity front load washing machine for one year, I have learned the tricks needed to get rid of a "sour" smell that is left in the machine.  I take a dry wash cloth & dry off the front glass and get down inside the rubber rim.  Sometimes I leave the door open to dry completely.  Best...

I bought a brand new set and I chose Fridgidaire because I had loved my previous set.  Withing 3 months, I had to have repair out because it would not empty water and spin.  Found out from the repairman that they had put a new filter type thing on the inside of the machine that cannot be cleaned by... review »

I have a Frigidaire Affinity Washer that is almost 2 years old, It worked well for the first year, than I started having problems with it draining.  I read the error code, E20, and looked up the problem, Clogged drain.  I took the hose off and cleaned it, found nothing, I then checked the pump, found a rubber check valve on the end, it seemed to be stuck, so I removed it and cleaned it also.  That did not work as well.  I than removed the rubber check valve and re-hooked up the hose.  I ran It through a cycle, and it seems to work now.  I will let you know more if another problem arrises. ... review »

This is my first front loading washing machine and I have learned to use it.  There are a lot of differences between these and top loaders and once you have learned these, it should run smoothy for you.  I have learned that if I am washing something like cloth diapers (something heavily soiled), I use the extra rinse setting.  Regularly clean the glass door and rubber filter inside the door.  I have hard water and I have to clean the detergant drawer every so often and that is easily done.  I also like all the settings:  hand wash, light to heavy soil, extra rinse....
We just had no choice...

I purchased this washer and matching dryer in January of 2008. I have not regretted this purchase for a second! I did not purchase the pedestals that raise the set, and have regretted that. I love that it uses so little energy. It even knows how much water you need for each load! It is not as large as some HE washers, but that does not matter for my needs. I don't have that much laundry.

 You will not regret purchasing this machine! It really saves wear on your clothing, and saves on your energy bills!

I am the un-proud owner of the Frigidaire Affinity front load washer. I give it a 10 on everything but reliability. That gets a zero! This thing has tore up 4 times in a year and a half. It's always the same thing. Will not spin the water out at the end of the wash. This is the last Frigidaire product that I will Own. The last washer we owned was a hand me down. It lasted 7 years after we got it. BYE BYE FRIGIDAIRE!!!!!

4) IT has all these fancy settings and buttons and u can't change most of them! THey are for LOOKS ONLY!
5) It has a rubber casing inside the door that constantly has mold u have to KEEP cleaning and cleaning it.
6) ITs NOT RELIABLE AT ALL!
7) The parts are always breaking and they are always on back order. * Not a big surprise since these washers suck and they are all a pick of CRAP!*...

This is my first front loading washer. I would have to say that it has broken down more times than any other washer that I've owned.  I've had the electrical go out on it several times and the door handle has broken off ( both problems that I've never had with another washer). The inner layer with the rubber gets moldy pretty easy and baby socks seem to come up missing. We even had a time where a baby sock went into the drain and clogged it up.

I bought a Frigidaire Affinity front load washing machine because I loved the fact that it uses only 1/2 the water of a top loader.  I want to do whatever I can to conserve natural resources.  This machine is a huge disappointment.  It doesn't clean very well.  It is constantly stopping during the spin cycle.  It is almost impossible to get it going again even after readjusting the load.  It is such a wimpy machine that it can't handle washing even 2 small area rugs at the same time.  Well there goes the water-saving!  I had a Whirlpool top loader for many years without any problems at... review »

Affinity Front Load Washer-Has had a small leak for about a year (estimate because installed new carpet in adjacent room last year).  Washer is less than 2 years old and has required more than one service call.  Yes, I purchased the extended warranty.  The local sales rep replaced the washer at no charge, but apparently had to eat the cost because Electrolux (makes frigidaire) denied the claim because the washer is more than one year old.

The carpet in the adjaent room...ruined.  Waiting to see if electrolux will pay for replacement.  Not getting my hopes up.  I plan to go to the local rep...

The Frigidaire Affinity washer is a nice washing machine.  I have not had any problems since it was installed 2 weeks ago.  It has enough options, with out offering too much that I do not think I would use.

There is a slight odor after using the washer if the door is not left open a crack to let the washer dry out.  Occasionally if a heavy item, like a bathroom rug the washer is not able to spin it enough.

We just receintly purchased a Frigidare Front Load Washer and I think it is great. The clothes come out clean and I think we received a great deal. The only down side it that with heavy loads such as pillows and bath rugs, the spin cycle seems to leave them a bit wet. They are not dripping or anything, they just seem to have a lot of water left in them. Other than that, it is great.

We have had our unit for over a year now. Worked great at first but then noticed it starting to leak around the front door seal and was shooting water out the side of the door during spin cycle. Had a repair man come 3 times and said there is nothing wrong and use less soap. After the last visit i was ****** so I said change the bloody gasket while it is under warranty still. He said after repairing the unit that there were a lot of similar problems with this particular unit. Since gasket was replaced it no longer leaks but wonder if it will have to be replaced again next year. Dont know if we...

This machine does not clean the clothes.  I have to rewash things because they smell bad. The washer smells horrible all the time.  I have to run an empty cycle with vinegar so I can put clothes in.  I can't let my kids wear clothes that smell like bacteria.  I wouldn't recommend this washer to anyone.

I didn't think that a front load washer would do such a great job in washing cloths.  Not only does it get my clothes cleaner, but it uses less water!  Top load washers belong in a museum.  I've noticed that my clothes come out cleaner and brighter.  I love that it uses less water.
