Electrolux 510L French Door EHE5107 / EHE5167SB

Excellent fridge, with rubbish ice maker – Per the title, this is an excellent large capacity fridge that fits smaller spaces. The ice maker is absolute rubbish, in 3yrs weve probably had ice for 12 months, and 3 ice making assemblies later at over $200 each, I've given up on trying to make ice. Show details

Sensational French door fridge – french for fridge with freezer draw at the bottom is FANTASTIC. We have had this item for 11 yrs and its still going strong . 1 yr ago we had a temperature issue, the service guy came out at replaced an electrical board of some sort . $80 job done and still going strong plus looks good. I need a new ice cube tray after 11 yrs but thats cool as Im… Read more

When Im up for midnight snack I may hear the motor if I really try but in saying that if I wear ear plugs I also hear my heart beat! Good thing I think ! Anyway its great fridge ...

Electrolux does not stand behind their inferior products - Report to a Regulatory Agency! – I just threw away $100 in food last night - meats that were so frozen they're ruined. The freezer keeps frosting over and I am just sick of the process of emptying everything- cleaning it out & starting over - since day 1! The ice makers do not work - both top and bottom. I am so irritated that I have to use ice trays when I am paid alot of money… Read more

for this refrigerator. I would recommend to all to avoid EVER buying Electrolux anything! They do not stand behind their products. After at least a half dozen visits if not more about this freezer frosting over, you would think that they would replace my refrigerator already - it clearly was defective from the get go. And all the extra padding and seals does not keep both the refrigerator and freezer from freezing over. I have plenty of photos. This should not be happening. They would rather cause great upset and have me ruin my food over and over so now, I will go online everywhere I can to make sure people know that they do not stand behind their products and that they sell inferior products. I am calling corporate today and sending a certified letter. If they do not help me, I am taking them to court as this is an ongoing issue from day 1 and well documented with photos and observations from the repairmen.

Love this fridge – This has to be the best new appliance in our Renovated kitchen. I was worried when I read the reviews and contacted Electrolux to quiz them. They reassured me that I wouldn't have anything to worry about and went ahead with the purchase. It has huge amount of space inside for 800 wide and deep. The doors really need you to push them close or… Read more

they beep, which is good, so you know. But with everything else self closing you forget sometimes. its easy to clean looks slick.

The ice maker has huge Always full tray all the time. It can be clumsy to get the ice out of the tray into a few glasses at a time. Bending down low. The water dispenser is perfect. If you like ice in your drinks there's always plenty and it makes new ice very quickly. The freezer section is small for family use. But we have a second fridge. I use it to store bread and ice cream.

The electronic control panel is a bit hard to use. Some how I turned the fridge into sabbath mode without realising trying to turn off the ice maker. It took 2 men over 2 beers and and an online search to figure out what I'd done. But it was summer and I was worried with the heat losing the food. So I don't touch the controls anymore.

Well worth purchasing – I purchased this refrigerator in mid-December 2015. Am very happy with it. It operates quietly and in fact I often wonder whether it is in fact operating. The only audible sound is a slight click when it turns off but other than that there is no noise whatsoever. My refrigerator door close properly - they do not self close but if the doors… Read more

are left open for more than 3 minutes there is a definite beeping to remind one to close the doors.

The freezer has more than sufficient storage in the two compartments - ice cube tray is easy to use.

The shelves are well laid out - twin crispers for vegetables are a real bonus - I keep "hard vegetables" in one and "soft" things like lettuce, cucumber,capsicum, etc. in the other. The other feature which I like are the two separate drawers for deli meats. I keep raw products in one and cooked deli items in the other.

Cleaning of the glass shelves is not difficult - small spills are easily wiped clean and the shelves slide out easily.

Dairy compartments on both doors is also great.

This is a well designed refrigerator - looks good on the inside as well as on the outside.

Fridge/freezer – Excellent product. The freezer is below and so comfortable to use. Both fridge and freezer have not disappointed. Very comfortable storage. Easy to keep clean. ice maker works well and easy to use.  Show details

Great fridge – Had this fridge for 8 months now Great fridge. Very happy.Easy to self install. Love the plumbed in water and ice. Too many features to mention, with and easy to use controll panel just inside door. You do need to replace the filter every 6 months And that will cost about $60-$90 depending where you buy the filter. Can be loud when making ice.  Show details

Perfect fridge for the little room we had! – Great looking fridge inside and out, nice and roomy with plenty of ice available all of the time. The only negative is that the doors are slightly off centre, but this does not affect the performance of the fridge. Stainless steel design is so easy to keep clean. Water through the door is cold enough for those hot summer days.  Show details

Hate the fridge EHE5107SA – Purchased around 5 years. Poorly made item, the drawers become brittle and crack, the freezer drawer fronts come off and hard to get back on. But the worst thing is the incessant screeching. The freezer alarm goes off normally during the night, it is supposed to be touch sensitive to turn off but often doesn't work. This leaves just about every… Read more

family member waking up and trying to turn off the incessant squawking. Lost so much sleep. Utterly despise the fridge as much as it is possible to hate an inanimate object - Emailed Electrolux but they couldn't be bothered to reply. Replacing the fridge with a second hand model and I will delight in smashing it a few times with a hammer! Anyway, the best advice I can give is to steer clear and don't waste your money on this!

cools well but doors are a prob – The cooling and freezing functions are good; the inside space is well designed, we can fit heaps. However the doors do not close unless you do it deliberately and double check every time to make sure they are sealed. The beep to alert that doors are not closed only works sometimes.  Show details

Tinny! – This is a relatively expensive fridge, but feels cheap. The freezer gasket has gone after 18 months and the doors never have shut well. Thank god it beeps, otherwise you wouldn't know. As others have stated, they just don't like to close. If it just ajar, it won't beep.It's like the gaskets for the fridge doors are too big and the freezer too… Read more

small. What a serious problem to have with something that needs it's closing integrity to be perfect. We also had icing up on the left side of the freezer, but this was solved by levelling the fridge. It's not perfect but certainly better.

Pleased with purchase so far – Had this fridge for just over a year in our new house and I'm happy with our choice. We bought it well over 18 months ago and ours was made in Oz (our house build was so slow with lots of delays before we got handover). I like the French door design and the bottom freezer is great. We have had no problems with our ice maker, though like all… Read more

ice-maker fridges we can hear it hum during the night when all is quiet in the house. The only issue I have found is that sometimes the French doors don't close properly, but there is an annoying beeper to let you know.

Terrible fridge and terrible service – Electrolux fridge is terrible, it has a draw for the freezer that has broken down so many times. We called service. they kept threatening us that we will have to pay for it. they finally came out a number of times and it was not fixed. The draw gets stuck and does not roll out. It is now permanently closed and not usable. We have to use a freezer… Read more

in the garage. the main doors do not close properly. the rubber seal on the doors have always come loose and it was like that the day it was delivered.

Love this Fridge/Freezer EhE5107SA – Never had a problem with ours bought in 2012, until now. We believe we had a slight power surge one evening, lights in the house were going up and down, next day fridge and freezer dead, only thing working was light to freezer drawer, so knew we had power. rang and emailed 2 recommended fridge techs from Electrolux web site, after 2 days and… Read more

hearing nothing, we got in touch with a guy who lives on same road, he said Electrolux ( and Westinghouse, that come out of same factory, were prone to this problem, costing $460.00 to fix, 2 new control panels, one at back and one in fridge, and recommended to get a power surge socket, $5.60 from Bunnings

poor design or poor workmanship – twice icemaker has stopped wont produce ice ,temp constant both compartments ,freezer draw wont close unless slammed shut to make it seal , I Am told runners and sensor fault and warranty ran out January wait for parts 2weeks so far, poor workmanship or design?? ,also clothes dryer EDC510E 3 starter condensors in4years I also bought at the same… Read more

time as dryer a washing machine EWF14742 fingers crossed its good Electrolux I am not happy about your 2 products all products have been good in past a cross like symble on screen appeared turn on and off goes back to it

Ice drawer continually drops out!!! – Faulty design for which electrolux won't take responsibility for....we've had 3 tech visits! Useless. ACCC and Choice both state that if product does not meet reasonable standards Not acceptable quality Not fit for purpose Its deemed a major failure and defect We will be pursuing further but I do not recommend this fridge and I'd be very careful about their other models if the ice drawer component is the same design.  Show details

Not the best choice – Works very well but few issues - need to be careful to close upper doors as they rarely close with just a push. One handle of door has come off at 6 months old. As I opened the door I stepped back with the handle in my hand and the door still closed

We purchased the fridge on the 12-6-2016. In about 2 months the ice making tray dropped out of it's – We have had problems with the ice maker from 2 monthe of purchase, First the ice making tray dropped out and I had to push it up to open the ice draw. Because we live outsde Electrolux's service ares they gave me their service agents number who took over a week to come out, he put the tray back in but didn't know why it dropped out, The display… Read more

had the cross type symbol and he hadn't seen it before but because the fridge was going he left. It wouldn't make ice, I eventually turned it off and on again and it fixed it up until we went on holidays in Febuary 2017 and switched it over to vocation mode, on our return we switched it back to normal and we have the cross back and no ice I have tried turning it off and on again several time to ne avail. Electrolux please offer a fix.

Lemon - Ice Maker – Purchased this fridge in October 2016. Had 2 lots of ice (1st lot of ice emptied as per booklet!) and we enjoyed the second lot. The fridge then ceased producing ice and the water dispenser started dispensing barely chilled water. We complied with the owners manual instructions to rectify the issue, with no result. We waited until after the… Read more

Christmas/New Year period to approach Harvey Norman (HN) about the issues.

HN contacted Electrolux who sent a local tradesman to inspect the unit. He complied with Electrolux instructions over the phone and removed a plug. Electrolux claims that the plug was damaged before the tradesman removed it and as such have refused to accept any responsibility for the ice making failure of the fridge, stating that we have damaged the fridge by removing a non-removable cover (untrue).

We purchased this fridge in good faith from a national retailer and are being accused by Electrolux of damaging it in order for Electrolux to avoid any liability.

On my first phone conversation with Electrolux I stated that I was under the impression Electrolux were attempting to avoid any warranty work on the fridge and was assured that was not the case.. I have so far been proven correct.

Same problem with electronic controller showing a cross like symbol and turning the ice maker off – Same problem as previous review It will work fine for a couple of days then stops. You have to isolate power to reset it. There isn't anything in the troubleshooting manual that describes this fault. This now appears to be an ongoing issue with this fridge therefore Electrolux should remedy the problem at their expense.  Show details

Ice maker issues – I have had this fridge for 20 months and it is a lemon. Every time I turn it to vacation mode the ice maker will not make ice on switching back to normal mode.(I travel a lot for work)In fact the digital controls do not display correctly there are no numbers or letters it is like a half cross.The only way to remedy this is to turn empty the… Read more

freezer draws and turn off the fridge at the switch. This is no a solution . I would not recommend this fridge to anyone

Cheap manufacturing material of liner – So disappointed with a crack on floor of liner of fridge (not even 3 months old). It looks as if something may have fallen off shelf (although no recollection of this happening!). Deemed not covered by warranty and customers fault! Have made numerous calls (and just emailed too)&still waiting for response. Have owned a few fridges over 45 years… Read more

including Electrolux and have never had af ault like this appear so easily. Maybe saving money on quality of material to keep costs down, who knows? We will update you wheneverwe hear back (if we do).

Great fridge – I love this fridge, my husband was reluctant to buy after reading some of the reviews but we have not encountered any of the problems. Water doesn't drip, ice maker is fantastic makes ice really quick, nothing freezes up, nice big veggie bins, nice design, I love the small freezer tray really good for pastry sheets & the grandkids stick icy poles,… Read more

could not be happier. Was a bit sad to read this will probably be the last fridge I buy that is manufactured in Australia.

The good and the bad – Our two person household has had this refrigerator for six months. Unit was made in Australia, not Thailand where the manufacturing has relocated. Love the layout and features. Also impressed that Electrolux are prompt to contact or arrange a technician visit. Did feel the visit was 'all care and no responsibility'. Totally disappointed with… Read more

quality of components. Internal liner at door platform has split due apparently to an object falling from a shelf. Given no calamity, I expect normal usage to wear better than this. Further, the base of one door basket has cracked. This is my milk storage shelf so beats me how milk containers can crack the tray base. Electrolux are adamant that their quality control is above reproach. I will not buy another Electrolux refrigerator. Per other reviews, we also have foods freezing if situated to rear of shelves and have ice cubes freezing into one block. BTW, Bayswater Good Guys salesman has been very supportive and I would buy from them again!

Great all round refridgerator – Purchased the EHE5107SB about a year ago as part of a kitchen renovation. The main reason we purchased it was because of the french door above the drawer freezer arrangement. We liked the style and the internal arrangement and had read and received some good feedback on this model and brand. We have not been disappointed at all because it keeps… Read more

the food in really good condition in the fridge and has easy access to everything including the spacious and multi-compartment freezer drawer below. Love the alarm on the french doors if you happen to leave them open and love the easy access to just everything.

We just had a 23 hour power outage in our area due to a violent overnight storm and found the insulation qualities of both fridge and freezer to be of a high standard. Kept the temperature well over this period with no food spoilage at all. Keeps the beer cold and the food fresh.....love it!

Doors don't shut easily and stick – Had this model with water, ice dispenser. Great fridge apart from doors sticking, not fully closing .Fridge beeps but not if doors are only just ajar. Have had to throw out a lot of produce. Also when you open one door the other partly opens as well. Not happy for $2500.00 fridge.

Great fridge – We wanted a french door fridge that didn't have the ice maker in the door as it takes up so much room. This one ticked all the boxes. It's not a massive fridge but we are keeping our old one in the garage so that didn't matter. The water dispenser is great and the ice maker also works perfectly. Very happy with it.

good fridge – Just moved down to Sydney, and had to buy new white goods. So far, am really liking this fridge. Lots of space, beeps if door is left open, and i would definitely buy it again. The finish keeps clean, but I have heard this can change over time. Will update this if this changes

Very disappointing! – we replaced all our appliances about 10 months ago with Electrolux products, Fridge, dishwasher, 900mm oven, microwave and even the washing machine and dryer! The fridge has been a disappointment. Although fridge/freezer components work fine, the water dispenser om the front left door constantly leaks so I have to turn the water off to it and then… Read more

I can't have any ice. I didnt want to play with it so we just use it as a normal fridge but that isn't why we bought it. I still like Electrolux products and all the others work great but not sure about their fridges.

Very unhappy keep away from this brand – Freezer continued to freeze up on one side. Repair man advised that freezer door is warped and that is why it keeps freezing up. They contacted Electrulux and they don't have a replaceable freezer door (cost $700) and the fridge is therefore unrepairable and only after 5 years of use. This is not acceptable and a disgrace for Electrolux brand… Read more

name. Before I bought this freeze returned two Westinghouse fridges due to interior cracks in just 18 months. when you purchase a fridge and pay over $2000 you expect better quality

Problem with ice a a water dispensers – I purchased this fridge 12 months ago and every time we turn ice maker on, a little later the water dispenser stops working! Last time they replaced the circuit but I suppose I will have to pay! They even made me buy a new filter but it still doesn't fix the problem! Service guy didn't know the problem last time. Definitely would not buy again, very unhappy.

Do Not Buy! First Time Buying Electrolux Fridge And Never Buy Again – I also had same problem with the doors which requires a forceful push to close. It's not closing properly means that cold air is escaping and causing condensation in the freezer compartment. The freezer door makes terrible noise when pulled open. Service call is expensive. Not a practical fridge to own for sure!

Bad customer service will not listen to the simple logic of my complaint – Bought this fridge as I had a similar one (no water dispenser, still french doors), called out a technician to fix it, but fridge is still the same. The problem is that once you close one side of the door it pushes out the other and leaves a tiny gap so then air can escape. This does not happen on my other Electrolux french door fridge, and this… Read more

is what I'm going off, but the lady on the phone said its normal for french doors to be like this. Obviously not when my old fridge does not have this problems. The fridge is only a few months old too, she said I will get charged another fee for a technician to come out.

I think the door, or door hinges are faulty and need to be replaced. The blamed that my flooring was uneven but I disagree, I would have not bought this fridge if it had this problem, the display models did not have this problem and a door opening and closing properly is the first thing a consumer looks at when buying a new fridge.

What was most irritating was the lady will not listen to what I'm trying to tell her, she was just looking for other things to blame like how I have to close it properly or the floor is uneven, but never even took in consideration what I was trying to tell her.

Originally loved it, but build quality is woeful – I've had to come back and redo this review, from 4 starts to 2. Although it looks great and it certainly keeps everything cold, the build quality is horrible. The bolt supporting one of the french door hinges as snapped off, the freezer sliding door is cracked, wobbly and virtually unusable. The doors don't close without a forceful thud. Avoid.  Show details
