Purchased 10/10/24, Invoice # CV00069253, Salesman ** ******* Purchased Frigidaire GCFG3060BF Delivered 1 week Complaint: foul smell When the stove was delivered I asked the installer how long to run the oven to get the new oven smell out of it. He told me 8 hours, I did and it didn't help, I did it again and it didn't help. I called customer service and they sent out an Electrolux who told me it was a factory defect and could not fix. I called Frigidaire customer service, they told me the tech told me to burn the smell out. He did not it was a lie.The more I used it the worse it smelled. I had to quit using. I called Fridgidaire several times with no resolution.I had them send another *** out and the tech said the same thing, it couldn't be repaired. I called the store I bought it from and was told it wouldn't do any good to trade it out because I would have the same problem. The manager told me there was nothing they could do and it was between me and Frigidaire. I talked to the corporate customer service manager and she said she would get a permit from Frigidaire to return it, I could pick out a new one, they would come get the old one and install the new one. After a few days I called her to find out the progress and she didn't return my calls. I finally got her and she told me there was nothing she could do to help me that the process was in the hands of the President, **** ******. I emailed him and told him the problem was between him and Frigidaire, my problem was that I bought the stove from A1 not Frigidaire and want a refund or exchange. I have not heard back from him.Customer Answer

I purchased an Frigidaire oven/microwave combo from A-1 Appliance in *********, **, on Oct. 3, 2023. It was delivered to my home on Nov. 29, 2023. After 2 months it blew a fuse when the microwave door is opened when it is running. It is supposed to shut off, and not blow a fuse. The fuse is located behind the 300++pound unit. It has to be removed from the wall completely using a heavy duty painters stand modified to the correct height. It takes 2 physically strong individuals to accomplish the job. Research on the internet indicates that ********** has NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. TWO FRIGIDAIRE SERVICE CONTRACTORS CONTACTED BY FRIGIDAIRE WARRANTY HAVE REFUSED TO TAKE THE **** I CALLED A-1 and I keep getting the run around.Business Response

To Whom this may concern,
A1 Appliance takes our customer service very seriously. After researching more information on ******************************* Frigidaire appliance , I have found the approval for a swap out from Frigidaire which is fully covered under the customers serial warranty agreement with Frigidaire.
Our ********* team did submit to Frigidaire's escalation's **** for a warranty swap out. We apologize for the long awaited approval time as it has inconvenienced the customers use of his appliance. We do apologize for the loss of time and are working hard on getting the customer a new ********************** as soon as possible. Our management team from ********* will be reaching out to **************** on the approval so that we may resolve this to the customers satisfaction.
We thank you for submitting this information in order to assist us in closing this claim.
Best Regards,

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
*NOTE: I have not received one (1) call or email from A-1 Appliance during the 4+ weeks since this fuse blowing issue has existed.The response does not address the following issues:
1. Is the **** OUT a NEW UNIT or a RE-BUILT UNIT?
2. Will I be charge a DELIVERY COST?
3. Does the **** OUT include your service department REMOVING the broken unit and INSTALLING the NEW UNIT and testing. REASON BEING to ensure that the new unit does not have the same issue (blowing fuse).
5. How long will it take before I can expect to see the **** OUT?
Regards,

Better Business Bureau,
In regards to the consumer ***************************.
A1 Appliance has just received an approval for a swap out on the defective combo wall oven from Frigidaire.
The appliance will take 7 to 10 business days to come in brand new from the manufacturer per our ************* Manager.
The customer will not have to incur any out of pocket costs as this is fully covered under the manufacturers warranty agreement as stated in the owners manual.
**************** will be notified by A1 Appliance to schedule the swap out in which the licensed installer will remove the defective product and install the brand new model .
We apologize for the loss of time and inconvenience this has caused ****************. ********** was responsible for the warranty swap out and has been notified this should have been taken care of on the initial contact claim#.
We are glad to have been a mediator to get this resolved under the manufacturer /consumer serial agreement. We apologize that it took ********** longer then usual to resolve this claim.
Please feel free to contact me for any further assistance.
Best Regards,
*********************

Purchased a dishwasher in September of 2023. Said dishwasher quit working in November. It has been repaired twice and is now broken again, one week before Christmas. I am hosting a large family gathering and need my dishwasher. I went to the ********* store to report the problem, the manager was rude and unresponsive at best. Offered to have a service call made and see what was wrong with the appliance. Previous repairs have taken weeks and since Christmas is this weekend, I asked for a replacement. The manager informed me that A1 does not replace faulty appliances; I need to take it up with the manufacturer. My complaint is the company selling the appliance (A1) should stand behind the products they sell and work with their customers to resolve issues involving their inventory. Based on other complaints I have read about A1, this is a fairly common response. I will not use this company ever again!!!Initial Complaint

In October 2022, we contacted A1 about the fridge that was purchased in December 2021. The Refridgerator was no longer cooling. It took well over a month to get a service out only to tell us the fridge was not repairable. We also contacted ********* who stated the fridge would be replaced by A1. But to no avail we still have a broken fridge. This is not practical to ask a family to be without a refrigerator for over three months. Per A1 company sales policy it is to refund or replace when repair becomes impracticalBusiness Response

We have contacted ******************* and informed her of Whirlpools warranty responsibility to the consumer. We have been in touch with our Whirlpool Rep. and he has forwarded the urgency of this situation to the manufacturer in honoring their 1 year warranty. We will follow up with the customer on the resolution. Thank you ********************* Sales Manager A1 ApplianceInitial Complaint

Bought a freezer and picked up. When I unboxed at home, the top of freezer is crushed. Tried talking with the sales rep and he said there was no one to speak with until the next week. He also wants me to wait until the next week for possible resolution. I paid almost $1000 for this freezer. Id like a more timely resolution. Obviously someone up the line crushed this freezer and said nothing. Delivery is tough for me to schedule because my schedule varies greatly, and I also have two young children at home. I really hope you van help me. Thanks!
