About Frigidaire
Frigidaire made the first self-contained domestic refrigerator in 1918 and its name became a generic word for refrigerator in several languages. Electrolux acquired the brand in 1986 and sells it as its mainstream North American line. General Motors owned the business for most of the twentieth century, which is why early refrigerators were sold through car dealers.
