Frigidaire Appliance Repair in Ottawa
Frigidaire, part of Electrolux, is the workhorse brand of many Ottawa kitchens: top-freezer and side-by-side refrigerators, electric ranges, dishwashers and the Affinity front-load laundry pairs. The appliances are straightforward and the parts are widely available, which makes most Frigidaire repairs quick and worthwhile.
Refrigerators lead our Frigidaire calls, usually for defrost problems, fans or a start relay that clicks but will not start the compressor. Frigidaire ranges with their electronic oven controls and glass tops come next, then the dishwashers and the Affinity washers and dryers, which have the usual front-loader parts list.
Which Frigidaire appliances we repair
Common Frigidaire faults we see

Washers

- Leaking at the door: a torn boot

Parts and warranty
Frigidaire and Electrolux share a parts supply, so defrost parts, start relays, fans, elements, oven controls, drain pumps and Affinity laundry parts are inexpensive and widely stocked. A glass cooktop top or a specific electronic oven control is the usual special order. Under Frigidaire's warranty, call Frigidaire first so the claim goes through their own service route.
Frigidaire questions
Is a Frigidaire worth repairing, or is it a throwaway appliance?
Worth repairing in most cases. Frigidaire parts are inexpensive and available, and the appliances are simple, so a repair is usually a fraction of a replacement. We tell you honestly when a sealed-system fault or a rusted tub tips the balance the other way.
My Frigidaire fridge clicks every few minutes but is not cooling. What is that?
That click is typically the start relay trying to start the compressor and giving up. The relay or overload is a modest part. If the compressor itself has failed, that is sealed-system work, and we will say so before you spend anything.
Do you fix Frigidaire Gallery and Professional models too?
Yes. Gallery and Professional are Frigidaire's higher lines. They share the service parts with some upgraded components, and the diagnosis is the same.
