Frigidaire FRU17G4JW 16-2/3-Cubic-Foot All Refrigerator, White

We've had it for 2 weeks.

Door is soooo hard to open that the handle is loose now. I can see that in weeks it will break apart. We called the store back and they are to come check it. I tried vaseline as recommended by a tech (not from store) on the rubber seal, and did nothing to ease the opening.

Also it is verrry noisy. I can hear it from another room. It also start on/off very often. I'd be surprised if the compressor lasts 5 years at the rate is is going on/off and it is not even set as super cold. And it meets all Frigidaire's recommendations for installation.

Would I recommend? No

Would I have bought it knowing this? No

But we're stuck with it.

Edited to update:

Finally found a way to make the door easier to open after trying multiple things. A regular straw that cut the size (height) needed and just put it inside top door (on seal), taped with a tiny piece scotchtape. The hole in the straw prevents the air to be sucked in causing the door to be almost unable to opened. The straw is squeezed when closed but the "vaccum" effect no longer exists and door opens normally.

Also called a technician who told us how to open the door knob plastic cover to tighten the screws. Now all is working perfectly.

Another thing that is annoying is the fruit/veggie basket. Only one huge compartment. No way to separate fruits and veggies. And it has large spaces between rods so everything tends to fall out the fridge. Not practical. All baskets (fruit and top ones) are all grids. So we used plastic cardboard (found in any home improvement store) cut to the size of the drawer to act as a bottom. Otherwise it was impossible to have anything stable. I think engineers must not cook/use fridge a lot to design such poor drawers!

But it still remains a noisy fridge. I would not buy it again but it does the job it is supposed to do: keep food at decent temperature.
