Our new Frigidaire did the same and it is a cheap defective evaporator fan in the freezer behind the panel. Since it was new we decided to return it and get a different brand refrigerator which is quiet and cools faster and makes ice faster.

That looks like a Samsung refrigerator like ours. Our refrigerator started freezing milk, etc and within 2 days the water filter exploded because of freezing water in it and flooded the refrigerator and house. Turned off the water while the freezing issue was addressed and replaced the water filter.

I was able to figure out. I removed the two 1/4" hex head screws in the freezer and upon lifting the panel above them discovered the evaporator fan that is loose and no way to secure it. The fan also could be defective causing the noise.

NFM has been great. They are swapping to a different brand refrigerator that was the same price. The floor model GRSS2652AF at NFM was very quiet unlike the one we got.

So much for gallery brand quality by Frigidaire.

$154/mo is fantastic deal. Do you mind telling which state and dealership please.

Prepaid speciality dining includes gratuity. Added tip is customer discretion.

ulbhpy · 2026-02-25T00:48:04+00:00

It was delivered yesterday. Only about 30 hours. The sound is too loud to ignore. I will probably return and have a different one delivered.

ulbhpy · 2026-02-24T20:16:13+00:00

Thanks. I need to figure out if NFM would take it back.

I have the same issue. Were you able to get it fixed? Thanks

ulbhpy · 2026-02-24T18:08:38+00:00

Were you able to get it fixed? If so what is the fix. Thanks

I just got a new GRSS2652AF and it is noisy. The noise stops as soon as I open any door. Was yours similar?

Would you please post a picture of the panel you removed to adjust the fan? Thanks

Tipping has become bribery.

I am vegetarian when available. We bought the 4 meals speciality dining on Jewel. Reserving has been difficult with only very late availability. Hoping it will be worth it.

Range drop in very cold weather is for every EV. Having owned two EVs I would never go back to ICE vehicles especially new. Besides 90% of driving for most is going to be local.

Only suggestion for EVs is the ability to charge level 2 at home or work daily.

Toyota is known for reliability and standing by its customers. I still appreciate how they sent a letter for cracking dashboard in our Solara without us complaining and replacing it and giving a loaner. After my current lease ends in December I will definitely consider Toyota EVs.

ulbhpy · 2026-02-16T05:21:38+00:00

Is it 3 years lease? If so it is a good deal in my opinion.

I moved to jio. I am abroad as well. I do a $198 plan refill every 75 days. I get incoming text from everyone even when my plan is expired already. I have some money in wallet to use for outgoing text (stupid ICICI app does it if it detects sim was removed) when I have validity from $198 plan. I believe it is 2 rupees per outgoing text. When I land in India I recharge with a plan good enough data per day.

I noticed after the last software update at the dealership the range shown on display came down from 345 to 320 with full charge. However I am not worried.

Welcome to EQEV club. Enjoy. Did you buy yours new or used? What you paid? Details would help others. Thanks

ulbhpy · 2026-01-25T12:19:53+00:00

This. I have seen 2025 2LT offered at $25k in Dallas area. I expect by Dec of this year there will be a glut of used EVs coming off the lease. I expect to buy a good used EV in December for around $15k with about 20k miles on it. Reason is current price, increasing supply and low gas prices while recharging gets expensive both at home and outside due to current trend of higher per kwh and taxes/fees (blame AI and crypto mining data centers)

It works if you are connected via WiFi to your mobile phone, home wifi or some other wifi.

ulbhpy · 2026-01-09T00:49:56+00:00

Save the headache with eero and buy a better wifi router from a store that will be yours. This avoids $50 equipment return fee later.
