Dear FRIGIDAIRE, I m not sure how to get in touch with you. My gas range, model # LGGF3043KFT, when using the broiler for the first time the complete back of the cook top button panel all melted and the back burners will not ignite? Please contact me as I have tried many ways to contact yall. Thank you kindly

My Frigidaire Gas Range DGGF3042KFN caught fire while using the broiler. The entire oven was ablaze. The top panel around the clock melted. Thankfully, no one was injured.

Any recalls or exchanges n the Frigidaire Gallery Gas Stove Self Cleaning.....I was so excited when I bought our home in 2014 that it came with a gas stove and microwave vent combo.....after 5 years of having the stove I AM DONE.....the oven turns way to hot causing my knobs for the burners to get extremely hot that you can't touch them while cooking.....the design of this stove is hazardous, there is multiple seats in the oven turning on and sometimes the burners too. The microwave hood vent is not strong enough and the whole front of the stove gets extremely hot when the oven is on, glass, knob area and door....not safe for my kids or pets......HELP ANYONE!!!

I have a refrigerdaire gas range stove. Ive had it right at 1year now and the inside glass shattered while using the oven at 375 degrees. I was standing right next to it when i heard a big pop! The company is sending someone to repair the glass..but I really do not feel safe..because whose to say whether it will explode again.

I bought The SAME Oven at Gerhard 's in Glenside, PA.

Why isn't my Oven on the recall list too? The oven fails to ignite and it is dangerous. I can't use my oven.

MODEL # FGGF3054MFE
SERIAL # VF21861954

I have also sent an email to Gerhard's regarding this issue. I have not used my oven in months in fear it will explode.

We also have a Frigidaire gas range that is terrible regarding safety! The knobs turn way to easily and gas is on without knowing it until we smell gas. Tried to return to Lowe's and they would not take it back.

The front glass of my Frigidaire gas range Model no. DGGF3042KFN (purchased 4 1/2 years ago) shattered last night of its own accord. Nothing/no one hit it. No one was even in the room. The oven was turned off about an hour before it shattered (after cooking dinner at 350F). The new glass will cost about $75 to $100 if I replace it myself.

Otherwise we've been very happy with this range.

I bought a Fridgidare stove model#LGGF3043KFT serial#VF51701047 on May 2, 2015 and in 3 months the ignitor switch quit working. Then on June 12, 2016 of this year the temperature switch shorted out and the back splash melted.

has there been any recalls on model LGGF3043KFR regarding gas odor?

We have a Frigidaire gas range Model FFGF3013LWD Serial VF05066880 and gas leaks from the burners because the control knobs turn so easy and apparently no safety is on until the ignitors are turned to the position

I have a Frigidaire 30" freestanding stove model FGF337BCE serial VF43039610 the oven fails to ignite sometimes. I thought the stove had issues because the top burners will ignite with a huge flame...which signed my arm when I first got...I forbid my daughter to use it because of this...Now the oven will not work properly.
Frigidaire please take a good look at your products

I HAVE MODEL # GLGF388DSA USING THE BROILER
THE ELECTRONIC OVEN CONTROL PANAL MELTED AND THE OVEN DOOR LOCKED UP, THE OVEN GOT SO HOT I THOUGHT THAT THE STOVE WAS GOING TO CATCH FIRE. THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME THING KETTY COMBE EXPERIENCED

Posted by Scoutdog


Client used their new stove(FGGS3045KF), it took about 5 minutes before the front display control panel started to melt. Bad design to put the biggest burner next to the control panel. The control panel unit is mounted too high and made of plastic.

I have a LGGF3033KWB that while the broiler was on it melted the display/back panel of the stove...the only diffence I can see between my stove and the picture is mine is white.
