Our verdict
This is a 8-place-setting built-in dishwasher from Frigidaire. It costs about $45 a year to run — about average for dishwashers, close to the middle of the pack. At 52 dBA, you'll likely hear this dishwasher running from an adjoining room — check the noise rating if a quiet kitchen matters to you.

Noise — the spec that matters most for a dishwasher
decibels — a measure of loudness. Lower is quieter.
That's on the louder side for a modern dishwasher — expect to hear it clearly from an adjoining room.Matches the Amazon listing figure exactly, but now independently confirmed on the manufacturer's own spec sheet ('General Specifications: Sound Level -- 52 dBA'), not just retailer-sourced.

Reliability & ownership
Recalls
We don't make per-model recall claims — the CPSC's own recall records are almost never tagged with a specific model number, only a brand and product type. Search the federal recall database yourself for Frigidaire dishwashers before you buy or if something seems wrong with yours.

We haven't found documented litigation for Frigidaire dishwashers in our research. That doesn't mean none exists — it means we haven't verified any yet.

Open manual & support →Your repair rights — depends on your state
Several states now give you a legal right to request parts, tools, and documentation from the manufacturer to repair your own major appliance — but this is not a national right yet, and it's enforced by the state attorney general, not something you can sue over yourself.
- California, Colorado, Oregon, Minnesota — in force now (CA since 7/1/2024, CO since 1/1/2026, OR since 2025, MN since 7/1/2024).
- Connecticut — takes effect 7/1/2026.
- New York and Texas — appliances are explicitly excluded from those states' repair laws. A blanket "you have the right to repair" claim would be false there.
- Everywhere else — no appliance-specific repair-rights law found as of this writing.
