5O% 0ff FRIGIDAIRE on Amzn (applied at checkout) : #FGMC3065PF
This Frigidaire FGMC3065PF Gallery 30" Stainless Steel Electric Combination Wall Oven is a replacement for an 11 year old Whirlpool unit that failed. The good news is the unit is attractive, has multiple features, cooks well and was available at a good price. The not so good news is the microwave unit failed a few days after installation. Although only the bottom unit was functioning at 350 F (microwave off), the microwave front panel metal became very hot, in the range of 140 F (this is a guess but I am familiar with temps in this range via power supply design). Then the microwave display went dark and I tripped the outside breaker manually. Multiple components were replaced by the repairman and the unit is now functioning properly. Time from reported problem to working unit was 18 days. Fan noise is much higher than the previous Whirlpool unit but tolerable. The Frigidaire unit is deeper than the previous Whirlpool. This required additional cutting-out of the cabinet rear wall and moving the power pigtail wall box which was a major hassle. From the web sight pictures it appeared that replacement of the microwave interior light bulb would be from the oven interior. The actual unit appears to require removing the unit from the wall cavity which is a two man service call. If this is so, the bulb should be LED not Halogen. If the unit proves reliable after this repair, I would recommend it at this price with the noted caveats.
This was the first major appliance purchase from Amazon. We are extremely happy. The price was great, delivery was fast and we are very happy with the microwave oven unit. This replaces a 20 year old Jenn Air unit that had all the bells and whistles. This one has fewer extras, but was also much less expensive and we are very happy with it so far. Overall ordering through Amazon was a very positive experience for us. Would order from this vendor again.
The Frigidaire FGMC3065PF Gallery 30" Stainless Steel Electric Combination Wall Oven so far has been great! It is large (wide), and the sites aren't too clear when saying the measurements. It looks very nice, really enlighten my kitchen.
