Frigidaire Professional 1.8 Cu. Ft. 2-In-1 Over-The-Range Convection Microwave

Poor Designn - Designed to fail

Shelliwi 1/13/2022

Frigidaire Professional FPBM3077RF. My first one was when we lived in another state and remodeled our kitchen. We absolutely loved it. Worked well. Moved less than a year after remodel and purchased the same microwave model for the new house.Less than eighteen months later it failed. The wires that connect the door to the main oven (top of door )fatigued and broke. They are encased in fabric cording. To fix this it requires a whole new door assembly which costs almost the same as this microwave. That probably wouldn't solve the issue of the wires being pinched. I really liked this model and design. Unless the design is corrected, I don't see a solution

Frigidaire convection/microwave

Chef Ron 1/12/2022

Love the appliance! Very nice quality. I always touch the buttons when I open the door. That™€™s probably my fault though.

Bad Investment

KLoo 1/12/2022

We purchased a Fridgidaire microwave w/convection option and paid a lot more for it (Over $700) so that we would have another convection oven when entertaining. After 2 years the handle literally came off in my hand. I weigh about 117 lbs., so it definitely wasn't my brute strength that broke it. I called Fridgidaire and the new handle alone was going to be close to $400, plus the cost to have it put on. (They have to take the whole door apart.) A year later now and it just quit working. It doesn't even light up.

Smart, Ergonomic Design

Vertical arrangement of controls on lower section of door is a welcome design festure for usability. Overall clean lines and fit and finish. Wish this was made in the US or Canada, but that's life now.

2-In-1 Over-The-Range Convection Microwave great option for any kitchen!

RudyJaime2 1/7/2022

We love that we were able to combine the microwave with the vent hood in our kitchen! It gives me extra counter space and the microwave works great! It is also a convection oven, which has been awesome to use! Very pleased with this purchase.

Microwave

PJJOHN 1/3/2022

Ordered appliances for newly constructed home. Microwave arrived with scratch and dent on door. Door was replaced. Second door had two dents also so another door was ordered. Door on this second microwave came off hinges - believe hinges were bent before or during installation. Appliance store where purchased sent a repairman out on day before Christmas, who got door back on which we were really grateful for as we had 13 people coming for Christmas dinner. Door number 3 hasn't yet arrived. We like the microwave and would probably give it a 5 star rating once fixed.

Easy to Use

KitchenQueenBee 1/2/2022

I was able to break in the microwave during the holiday meals. I have used both the microwave and convection oven. Both are easy to use. The microwave has shortcuts for heating food which is nice so you can quickly use with one touch for most uses. Convection bake was easy and I was able to bake a casserole according to normal directions with no issues. I would purchase again and recommend to friends.

Poor Quality

Mike175 1/1/2022

I purchased this microwave as a set when I redid my kitchen in 2019. In 2020, the handle of the microwave broke. I contacted the store where I purchased the appliances and they told me that it is not covered under the warranty and the repair would require a replacement of the microwave door which is several hundred dollars. When I looked closer at the quality of the handle, I realized that it is make of poor quality plastic which is why it broke. I spoke with several repair shops who all said that the handle is cheap plastic. They recommended shopping around for a better quality microwave and replace it with something better instead of wasting money on another cheap door or replacing the microwave with the same model as it will inevitably break. What truly sucks is that my appliances match. I bought the whole Professional series because my wife likes the look. Now I will either have to replace everything or have mismatched appliances!

Hing on micrave opening has fringed wires

Jekyll you 12/27/2021

We are having the same problem with the wire on the hing fraying as was reported by another customer. Is this part replaceable. The microwave will not even turn on at this point. It was very costly and I do not want to have to replace it.

Control pad stopped working

paidtoomuch for micr 12/27/2021

I have loved this microwave for about 5 years. Recently the control loaner in the door stopped working. This is due to the constant opening and closing of the door I would assume. The wires are wrapped in a flex wrap mesh material. Poor design. This will continue to happen until Frigidaire puts a hard conduit feed for the wires so they don™€™t get twisted and pinched. Very dissatisfied due to the cost of this microwave. Thought I would see atleast 10 years out of it considering I clean and maintain it very well.

Serious Design Flaw

Desarie1 12/24/2021

Although this microwave is beautiful, amazing and you will be absolutely in love with it after you install it in your kitchen, sadly the love does not last long! You will soon realize that the aesthetically pleasing control panel across the bottom requires wiring through the door hinge, which means the more you open and close the door (you know use it as a microwave or convection oven) the sooner you get to the wires becoming brittle and breaking causing intermittent working to rarely working and sometimes shutting off in the middle of finally working. All of this starts to lead me to wonder is it safe at this point to keep it plugged in and of course at the same extremely mad that my husband and I spent so much money on this microwave, not to mention the extra work required to install it and now we will likely have to replace it after not even 3 years of use!

I love this oven

MrsHanks 12/21/2021

this little oven is perfect for the 2 of us. i can cook cookies and breads as well as casseroles and meat. just like a regular oven and heat a cup of coffee or water cook my vegies and rice all while the meat rests, it is wonderful. i wasn't sure because of the price. but it is worth every penny to me.

Our handle broke after one year! The store said it was not under warranty after a year do we bought a new handle for 225$. The problem is you can™€™t get to the handle unless you open up the back and then you still can™€™t get to it! So disappointed that I have a new kitchen with a microwave with a broken handle! I am now considering getting an entire new door just for the cheaply plastic made handle..

Handle Broke Off Just Over 1 Year

JacobW 12/21/2021

After 14 months of use, our microwave handle completely gave out.Calling for service was met with "I'll ask someone in another department" before being hung up on.Hopefully a workable solution can be found for what is obviously a defect in the material. Disappointed it happened so early in our use of the unit, as everything else has worked

Short lifespan (2 to 3 years)

Burier of Microwaves 12/15/2021

We've gone through 2 of these over the last 5 years. The first was a 2016 model, which lasted about 2 years before needing a repair so expensive that replacing the microwave seemed the better investment. The replacement, a 2018 model, lasted 3 years before requiring a similarly expensive repair (touch panel stopped responding). A cursory internet search yielded an estimated average microwave lifespan of between 5 to 10 years, depending on how well-maintained it is.

mozie2916 12/14/2021

So far, I™€™m very happy with this microwave. Haven™€™t used the convection setting yet but seems like it could be useful at times. It is powerful and heats things faster and more evenly than my previous micro.

plastic clunk-a-junk

airfryerhereIcome 12/8/2021

After only 3 years of use the handle pulled away from the door and also started to crack. The door opens and closes with loudly and with difficulty, this probably contributed to the handled breaking. The exhaust fan initial setting is the highest-shouldn't this start out at the lowest, less noisy level and work up as needed? The finish is not very durable.

Expensive and Didn™€™t Last

SonomaKY 12/3/2021

I bought this convection microwave as part of a Frigidaire package for my new home - all my kitchen appliances were from this line. It was the most I have ever paid for a microwave ™€" about $900. In three years, the touch panel went out. The repair technician said it would be nearly $500 to fix it. I have purchased cheap microwaves that lasted a decade so this was incredibly disappointing. The technician said the design of the microwave is flawed due to the touch screen in the door which requires that wires run across the door opening to make it run. He told us he had numerous ones of this model go out.

Quit working due to wiring design

Mark Schrier 11/30/2021

We purchased this microwave as part of a matching set. It worked for about 3-4 months and then it started not working intermittently. Then after about 3 weeks, it quit altogether. Unfortunately because this was installed in a winter home, we were not able to get this repaired under the warranty.I finally just opened up the door panel and discovered that the hot wire in the loom that connects the controls in the door to the main body had been broken and finally quit making a connection The break wasn't even at the pivot point of the honge but rather a couple of inches into the door. The other five wires are also damaged but they are still making a circuit. Since the part that this wire is connected to costs $400+ through the parts department, this is turning into a piece of junk. All over a poorly designed and built unit.

Lasted 5 years then KAPUT

doublerpub 11/29/2021

Bought and installed this microwave 5 years ago. Never used the convection feature, in fact, only used it occasionally to reheat things. After 5 years, started to work intermittently, Cost to fix it was very high. Due to how it needed to be placed above stove and not wanting to hire a handyman bought the exact same one, hoping that first one was a lemon. It made the install very simple (same screw holes and brace).

Left side of touch pad not working.

John_L_S 11/29/2021

We haven't even had this convection microwave for a full year yet, and all of the buttons on the left side of the control panel stopped working. All of the buttons on the right side work fine though. I'm wondering if there is a fuse for each side of the panel, and the one for the right side may have blown, or if you could tell me what else might be wrong.Thanks in advance.

Microwave Rattles every time you use it - support disconnects you and says sorry

Try calling support....hangs up on you. Microwave rattles for a solid minute straight every time we use it. Brand new. Pretty sure we didn't buy a microwave with a rattle.

Crazy loud, poor ventilation

jbriggs 11/27/2021

We bought this fridge because of its sleek look, but unfortunately it has some major flaws. It will occasionally vibrate so loud when running that you won't be able to even hear your TV. And for some reason it doesn't ventilate moisture - moisture always collects in the microwave itself, but on occasion it will even collect and pool above the microwave. Right now we are getting it fixed under warranty and will see if that helps.

Excellent Features

Robjc 11/18/2021

I have had this Convection Microwave for about 6 months, I remodeled my kitchen and bought the complete professional series and love them all. This oven is a excellent size for reheating meals or cooking smaller meals when you do not want to heat the larger oven. I went with this instead of a hood above the stove and was concerned about ventilation but the fan on this oven is perfect for ventilation. The LED adjustable lights are also perfect for lighting up the stove cooking area which I would not have with a ventilation hood. I use this more then the bigger oven since I have a small family but have cooked a 9lb chicken in it without a problem. I highly recommend it.

Nice look & features, some issues

tekrp 11/17/2021

We have the professional version of this microwave. The look and features that come with it are great. However, it does not feel solidly built - like when you close the door. It is also one of the loudest microwaves I've ever owned. I'm not sure if this is an indication of a warranty/repair issue or if it's normal.
