The 48-page defective product lawsuit contends that the Frigidaire gas ranges, which are manufactured by Electrolux, are “unfit” for ordinary use as a result of the temperature defect, which the case says is particularly dangerous as it limits the products’ ability to cook food safely and properly.

Per the complaint, the afflicted Frigidaire gas ranges include, but are not limited to, model numbers GCFG3060BF, GCFG3070BF, and FPGH3077RF. 

The suit argues that Electrolux took measures to conceal the defect from consumers and continued selling the afflicted gas ranges despite product complaints dating as far back as 2016. According to the case, Electrolux’s knowledge of the temperature problem is evidenced by its Use and Care manual, in which the manufacturer instructs consumers who see that their food is not done cooking to set the temperature 25°F higher and still cook for the suggested time.

Electrolux’s suggestion to simply raise the oven temperature higher, the case says, “is not a repair” and goes beyond any reasonable expectations for consumer use.

Even products still under their one-year warranty are not properly addressed by Electrolux, the suit alleges, as the company “routinely decline[s] to provide Class Members warranty repairs or other remedies for the Defect.”

The plaintiff, a California resident, says he purchased a Frigidaire gas range for $1,098 in November 2024 and almost immediately experienced the defect. Though an Electrolux technician replaced the purportedly malfunctioning temperature probe and main control board just a few months later, the plaintiff continued to notice the oven’s failure to reach the set temperature, the complaint relays.

After further correspondence with Electrolux, the plaintiff was informed that he would only receive a replacement gas range if the technician deemed the current one to be “unrepairable,” the complaint relays. Although the technician noted the commonality of the defect, “Electrolux considered the Frigidaire Gas Range to be working properly even though it cooks at a temperature 25 – 30 degrees below its setting,” according to the case.

“Electrolux knew, had reason to know, or was reckless in not knowing, of the Defect; Electrolux was under a duty to disclose the Defect based upon its exclusive knowledge of it, its representations about its products, and its concealment of the Defect; and Electrolux never disclosed the Defect to the Plaintiff or anyone at any time or place or in any manner,” the complaint articulates.

The Frigidaire gas range class action lawsuit looks to cover all consumers in the United States who purchased an afflicted Frigidaire range for personal use during the applicable statute of limitations period.
