• Who repairs Frigidaire appliances in Minneapolis?

  Central Minnesota Appliance Repair services Frigidaire refrigerators, washers (Affinity and current), dryers, Gallery / Professional dishwashers, and ranges across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities metro — same-day windows when you call before 2pm.

• How much is a Frigidaire diagnostic?

  $129 for standard appliances, $149 for refrigerators and freezers, $179 for built-in / Professional. The fee is waived when you approve the repair.

• Is Frigidaire repair worth it?

  Under about 8 years old (12 for Gallery / Professional built-ins) Frigidaire repair is usually worth it. For older units or expensive failures we'll quote the repair against realistic replacement cost in plain language before you decide.

• Do you carry OEM Frigidaire (Electrolux) parts?

  Yes — every truck is stocked with OEM Frigidaire / Electrolux parts for the most-failed components on FFTR, FGHB, Affinity, FFFW, FFCD, and FGEF platforms.

• Frigidaire French-door and side-by-side defrost failures (warm fridge / cold freezer, ice buildup on rear evaporator panel).
• Dual ice maker auger seizures and water-dispenser inlet valve leaks on FGHB / LFSS / FPBS models.
• SY EF and SY CE refrigerator control-board codes after power events.
• Frigidaire Affinity front-load tub-bearing failures (loud grinding spin, rust streaks at the rear seal).
• Affinity E5C / E5E door-lock errors locking laundry inside mid-cycle.
• Current FFFW / FFFS washer drain pump blockages and E11 / E13 long-fill codes.
• Frigidaire dryer no-heat (heating element burnout) and tripped one-shot thermal limit on electric models.
• Frigidaire Gallery dishwasher i20 / i30 drain and fill faults — usually pump, hose, or float assembly.
• Frigidaire dishwasher heating element scale failure and door-latch microswitch faults.
• Range F10 (runaway temp) and F11 (shorted keypad) on Frigidaire and Gallery ovens.
• Induction cooktop element / generator faults on Frigidaire Professional Induction units.

The single most common reason a Frigidaire Affinity front-load gets called “loud” on a Twin Cities service call is a failed rear tub bearing and shaft seal. You'll hear a deep grinding howl that gets dramatically louder during spin, plus visible rust streaks weeping from the back of the outer tub. By the time most homeowners call, water is already dripping onto the motor below.

• Symptom progression: rumble on spin → metal-on-metal howl → rust streaks at the rear tub → drips during fill.
• What we replace: tub seal, bearing kit, shaft, and (often) the outer tub itself on heavily worn units.
• Time on site: 3–4 hours; the outer tub has to come out. Single visit when parts are on the truck.
• Honest repair-vs-replace: on Affinity washers older than 6 years we usually recommend replacement — Electrolux has discontinued some OEM parts and the labor doesn't pencil out. Under 6 years and we'll quote the bearing job in writing before we touch a wrench.

Catching it early matters — once water reaches the motor, the repair stops penciling out on almost every Affinity. Call (651) 364-7466 the moment you hear the grinding.

i20 means your Frigidaire dishwasher couldn't drain within the expected time. Roughly half the calls we run for this code turn out to be a clogged filter, kinked drain hose, or a disposal knockout plug that was never removed — try this first before you book a visit.

1. Cut power. Turn off the dishwasher at the breaker before reaching inside.
2. Pull the filter. Twist the cylindrical filter at the bottom of the tub counter-clockwise and lift it out with the fine mesh below it.
3. Clean the sump. Wipe food, glass, and debris from the sump and rinse the filter under running water.
4. Check the drain hose under the sink for a kink, and confirm the disposal knockout plug was removed when it was installed (a brand-new disposal is a classic culprit).
5. Reset: restore power, run a short Rinse cycle. If i20 returns, the drain pump or impeller has failed — that's a tech visit.

Still throwing the code? Call (651) 364-7466 and we'll bring an OEM drain pump on the truck.
