How do I stop the pitting on my stainless steel refrigerator?

Did it come with warranty?

A 7 month old refrigerator should not be pitting and rusting. Did you contact the place of purchase?

My refrigerator did the same thing. When I contacted the manufacturer, they sent me stainless steel cleaner. It is a powder and it messy to use. That's their idea of honoring the warranty.

I've always had this problem, and it's starting on my new fridge too. It's so frustrating, right?! I f ound this tip which I shared on my blog. I haven't tried it yet but plan to now that I see the spots.

The reason it shows rust is because Frigidaire makes crap, judging by my experience with their products. What they call "stainless steel" rusts! How come Fridgidaire stainless needs special cleaners? They told me the same thing. It's not stainless steel. On my stove face a magnet grabs onto it hard. Stainless is not magnetic, or very slight if it's a poor grade. See pic of my rusty Frigidaire gas stove. That's what the rust staining turns into with time. They don't cover it either, even though they say it's "stainless steel". Obviously they lied. 😒 . I also have a frost free freezer by them in my Long Island garage (it's May 2nd, not hot here) and it can't maintain temperature! Had another one years ago by Fridgidaire with same issue. Had a Westinghouse frost free freezer... no problems. Also had a chest freezer by Fridgidaire and the plastic inside door liner and door insulation separated from the door! I now stay clear of this brand. 4 strikes, a stove and 3 freezers. Never again. Other brands gave me no issues. I have an old Amana fridge w/ bottom freezer made by Ratheon, an old Whirlpool top load washer, a Whirlpool Gas dryer and a 33 year old Kitchen Aide dishwasher. All of these are well over 30 years old and all work great! All 4 are keepers. Only the 4 Fridgidaire products were trouble. Nuff said. Hope you have better luck. Maybe I was just unlucky with them 4 out of 4 times? Do you think? In all fairness to them, in the 1960's we had a Frigidaire refrigerator/freezer that was very reliable in all aspects. I was better then too. So were a lot of things.

Here are some general guidelines to help keep your stainless steel appliances from rusting or corroding: only use mild soap or detergents made specifically for stainless steel to clean your appliances. Examine the ingredient lists of every cleaner you use. Wipe just in the direction of the steel grain and with gentle cloths.

Hello, I would contact Frigidaire immediately and get an new one or repair it. This should not be happening on a 7 month old fridge.

Hi Sre: Barkeepers Friend is a great solution. You can buy it cheaper at Home Depot than anywhere else! And after cleaning it, I'd apply a wax, like automotive wax on the entire fridge.

I'd contact the manufacturer and tell them about the problem and ask them to fix it and if they say no, then I'd tell them that I would go on Yelp and social media and let everyone know about the lack of customer care. If the warranty doesn't say anything about the 'not uncommon pitting' issue, I'd also mention small claims court.

Hope this helps

Clean with a stainless steel cleaner (clear spray or powder)! It is picking up mositure in the air! Other than that, contact supplier of fridge and ask them to investigate and give you solution - Maybe a new Fridge?!
