About Frigidaire FGEC3648UB 36" Gallery Series Electric Cooktop
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
81% praised the consistent heat distribution, while 19% experienced hotspots
The quick boil burner and other burners of the new unit heat up faster than the replaced one.
The front right burner heats up fast and stays consistently hotter than the others, even on the same setting. It also burns/scorches food on the lowest temperature.
I need a cooktop with a medium burner as the three small burners don't work.
77% praised the sturdy build quality, but 23% found it flimsy
I like the design of the cooktop, especially the large burners in the back and small in the front. However, I am unsure about the controls in front.
I installed the cooktop in 30 minutes and caulked the edge of the glass to prevent spills and support the edges.
I compared the design and build of the two stovetops and found the GE stovetop to be more ruggedly built.
83% liked the easy cleaning design, but 17% found it difficult to clean
The knobs come off easily for cleaning and rubber gaskets around them are secure to prevent liquid from running inside.
It is not as easy to keep clean as I had hoped.
Cleaning the cooktop is the worst part, and it needs to be cleaned every time I use it.
77% appreciated the reliable ignition system
I contacted Frigidaire and informed them about the issue. They ordered the element and it was delivered in 2 days. Now, my burner is working fine.
79% appreciated the quiet operation, though 21% found it loud
I have to re-learn how to cook my favorite dishes due to the different settings and power of the cooktop, indicating that it is not user-friendly.
70% appreciated the added safety features, although 30% found them inadequate
I have noticed a safety issue with the stove top where it can cause sparking if the electrical supply is not grounded properly, or result in electrocution hazard if the ground is not connected.
