Electrolux 600L French Door EQE6007 Series

Should be 0 stars – Faulty from day 1. We were told we were buying the last batch of an Australian made fridge. Clearly labelled "made in Thailand" when it was delivered. Doors never closed properly. Kept bouncing opening, fridge is too cold. Door shelves literally fall off. Total piece of crap. After 7 years I finally got rid of it. Show details

This is an amazing fridge! – Our fridge is 12 years old and we are still super impressed with it. We have had no problems at all. The shelves are still perfect, the hinges are still perfect, we love the drawers for the crispers and in the freezer. We would definitely buy an Electrolux fridge again. Show details

Love it – I love my fridge still going strong since purchased never had any issues at all. I am updating my kitchen and changing my appliances to black colour and again I definitely will purchase Electrolux. I can’t wait to see the new designs. By the way we are family of 6 with kids and fridge all day long working for us. Show details

Not happy! Freezes everything in fridge compartment – Fridge was turned off while powerboards were switched over but since being turned back on it is now freezing everything in the fridge compartments but irregularly ie water in bottles hasn't frozen but the cream sitting next to the water has. Apples in the fruit compartment haven't frozen but strawberries have. Carrots in the vegetable crisper… Read more

have frozen but potatoes and parsnips haven't. Not happy you should be able to switch a fridge off to unplug from one powerboard into another without this kind of issue.

over the upside down option – Great fridge freezer. Love the upside down option. Even convinced my daughter and my father to get one. Great for large plates/ platters with the French door setup. Keeps great temperature. Crispers are easy to clean. Love the four doors rather than the large freezer draw concept. Downside when grandkids are around is the controls on the outside - which they love to play with  Show details

Few problems but Electrolux could easily manufacture better components – I like the 4 door fridge idea but the top door hinge springs at the bottom break and are too weak. This could be resolved by making the hinge springs out of stronger plastic/metal. The door also dents very easily. The ice tray support has a weak spot and the tiny ice tray locator breaks. This could have been better designed such as wider ice trays and grooves instead of locators.  Show details

Excellent!! – This is a fabulous fridge freezer, love the easy to clean steel and glass shelves which are ideal for those party platters that other fridges have failed on in the passed. I have had this fridge freezer for 2 years and have been more than happy with it. Easy to clean, always looks fabulous! so quiet! and as I live in an open plan home this is a very important factor. I would highly recommend this one if you are in the market!!  Show details

great layout/design but poorly built – We purchased the fridge about 8 years ago, and had it replaced within 9 months. The freezer doors were falling out of the slider. I suspect it was manufactured out of dimensional tolerances. I must say it was good of Electrolux to replace unit with no prompting by me. However over the past years have had the same problems as noted by others -… Read more

plastic door "spring" returns breaking

- diary compartment cover breaking

- noisy

- door is very easily dented

- and most recently, protective film over stainless steel doors starting to peel away

Unlikely to purchase another Electrolux product, but love the French door design of the fridge and freezer

Totally dissapointed with this supposed to be "Aussie Icon Brand" – Fridge is now just over 2 yrs Old, broken cheap plastic door hinges have broken, Fridge makes a lot of strange gargling noises, fridge inside temp no where near what it says on mimmick panel, had to install a fridge thermometer and then reset the mimick panel up the scale by about 6 deg c. Absolutely discusting for the price of this fridge.!!!!

Very disappointed with Electrolux "Customer Care"! Rubbish product, expensive and forget goodwill! – Looked good on The Good Guys' showroom floor. Cheap plastic hinges on LHS door broke within 18 months (but I did not realise it came from the fridge). RHS door bottom hinge broke in th elast month or so (and, NO, we do not play rough with our fridge ... as suggested by "Customer Care"). This fridge makes weird "muttering" noises all night (as… Read more

if it is talking to itself) and then makes a loud crack noise.

Apparently, this is to be expected from a 4 year old, $2,800 Electrolux fridge!!!!

Wrote to Customer Care [name removed] only to receive a phone call today with no intention of actually listening to me; kept on repeating the same mantra (probably from a scripted flowchart)!!! I told her she was boring me and there was no point in continuing the conversation.

Each plastic hinge (cheap looking injection moulded affair) sells for $72.00 a piece (and I have four of those, two broken and two to follow). You would have thought that Electrolux would offer a half-way solution and send me a couple. No! They want their service dude to attend and for me to pay for the call.

Not happy Jane oops! [name removed]. Customer Care staff seems to be continually "sorry" on this forum but no action.

Vote with your feet and your wallets people. Do not buy from this manufacturer.

The worst fridge ever!!! – We have contacted Electrolux and they did nothing - our fridge is less that 1 year old and the front is so thin it has dents all over it - and we have in no way been rough with it - Electrolux what are you going to do about this as it is clearly a fault in your design. The actual fridge is really good but looks terrible and really lets down the look of our new kitchen.

Extremely Dissappointed!!!!! – We purchased this refrigerator 3 1/2 years ago because we thought Electrolux would be a brand we could trust for good products. The fridge cost us $3500 and started to give trouble 6 months after the warranty ran out. The fridge keeps freezing and then suddenly stops altogether. The freezer section just seems to get so cold that you need an axe to… Read more

serve ice cream. We have defrosted it completely and it starts working again, only to do the same thing about a week later. I did not spend $3500 to live out of a Waeco fridge on my kitchen floor. Judging by the other reviews on this page this is obviously a common fault.

Horrific – Constantly ices up between the fridge and freezer causing fridge to stop working. Electrolux support tells me to call service agent who charges $250 to come and blow fridge vent with a hair dryer for an hour. NEVER AGAIN. I am tired of taking all my food out and leaving the doors open for 3 days to defrost it. If you search the web enough you will find it is a known fault with Electrolux fridges

Don't buy one – A useless refrigerator. 4 years old. Purchased from Good Guys. Plenty of space. Stylish design. Made from super thin metal which constantly dents (no you don't have to hit it) by itself. Freezers which constantly ice up. Fragile plastic fittings. Contacted company about dents and were told it was our problem. Buyer beware. Lots of better product out there!

Very good but could be better – The fridge looks smart, its layout and shelving are very clever and work well, and as a refrigerator/freezer we cannot find fault. On the downside, some of the plastic fittings are a bit fragile, and the supposed stainless steel panelling is VERY thin and dents very easily. One must be very careful not to knock the panelling with a broom or anything hard!

Indifferent fridge – This is a good looking fridge with plenty of space for our family of four. Some of the plastic components have broken though. Plastic compartment bottom of right hand side door broke causing broken glass. Butter section lid just cracked and fell off when being opened.Temperature fluctuated inside giving incorrect readings. Good looking fridge with plenty of space Dents for no reason and plastic compartments break easily

So so – An impressive clean looking fridge that doesn't live up to external appearances. I find my 10 year old fridge keeps veggies fresh and crisp for far longer. After a couple of days in this fridge the veggies are ready for the compost (fridge set to 3 degrees). WARNING bottom right hand door compartment will crack and break so do not arrange … Read more

bottles/cartons as shown in advertising brochure, unless of course you enjoy cleaning up broken glass and milk off the floor. Fridge has limited space and is not ideal for a 4 person family. The only positives of this fridge are the freezer compartments where it is possible to group like foodstuffs together in a neat and orderly fashion. So far my freezer compartments are crack free. All in all good freezer, bad fridge. Neat freezer compartments Does not keep veggies fresh/ poor quality plastics prone to splitting and breaking

Not so great - Paid too much – Well about 4 years ago we removed all appliances in our kitchen and replaced them with E:Line series fridge, oven and cooktop. Lets say that everything has not worked out so well. The fridge looks great but unfortunately all the plastic inside fractures easy. The lid on the veggie bin broke, the drawers in the freezer have got cracks in them… Read more

from the cold. The stainless steel seemed to have pressure marks from just being pushed into the place by the delivery guys. Not happy with the fridge....it replaced a Fisher & Pykle that was 10 years old and I can say that the fisher was better quality.

Now the oven....thermostat gone twice...the door as the repair man put it "is too heavy for its own brackets" hence it wont close properly which means the oven wont work unless you wedge something to keep it closed. After replacing the door and the bracket + thermos my $2200 oven has now cost me $3400....the old oven was a Chef...cheap and cheerful but it worked. We have an investment property and initially we liked the oven so much that we put one in that house as well....same problem with door again..

The hot plates, look really nice they are the ones with black glass with metal trivets on top. The trivet broke after a month as apparently I was pushing too hard on metal to clean it??? Got a new one ok... the rest of the trivets the rubber stoppers on the feet keep falling off every time you lift them to wipe the area...frustrating as there is nothing I can use to glue them on...the heat makes them fall off again.

If anyone from Electrolux is listening feel free to contact me...I spent about $9500 on stuff that is plagued with problems. Look nice Poor opperationally

Oh Fridge, where have thoust been hidding thee self – We have had side-by-side, separate fridge freezer and conventional top freezer units. None of these were anything more than functional. Then we saw this four door fridge/freezer when looking for appliances for our new house. It looks grest. It ticks all the boxes. Best thing is the useable space. Next best thing is the comments from your guests.… Read more ·  2

If only it would hug you back. Layout. Looks. Doors don't self close...but not possible with a 4 door fridge.

CHEAP FITTINGS – Have had this fridge freezer for a couple of years, in that time electrically good, (fingers crossed - was advised by sales staff to get an extended warranty - but the cheap plastic freezer trays and inserts in the fridge itself are pathetic for such an expensive Refridgerator. One of the freezer drawers has cracked, the butter saver door has… Read more

just fallen off and is actually broken - the space inside the fridge allows only minimal height - no bottles, tall glasses. no room for these, and the right hand side door of fridge does not seal correctly - sent email to Electrolux about this and was advised curtly to go to their agent and would cost me $134 to fix. This is unacceptable - no doubt if I ask for the warranty to fix these faults I will be told it does not cover such. Not impressed! Not much apart from the look Read the above - not that Electrolux in interested!

fantastic - i love it – I purchased this fridge to replace a great 22yr old westinghouse fridge freezer that died. this new one has plenty of room, love the doors, quiet, easy to find stuff. had it 2 months and just loving it. this one does have less capacity than the older one i had though dimensions are about the same, however i can fit more food in the fridge and… Read more

freezer due to the layout, shelving and drawers.

I would like a section to store taller items in main fridge shelving area - 1/2 width of shelf would be great. Ideally it could have a shelf with that half of it could lift up or out to enable more tall items such as extra bottles of milk and OJ in main fridge area design - love doors shelving a little close together but still ok

So far, so good – We've had the fridge for 2 weeks now and it has behaved perfectly. We had to rethink our packing strategy as there are 3 wide shelves in the fridge but they are lacking in height. The doors provide some space for bottles/milk/juice etc but not as much as we are accustomed to having in our old fridge. It looks good, the double doors mean the area… Read more ·  5

required for the door swing is minimal and it is comparable in 'solidarity' with other fridges. Refilling the ice tray and getting it back to the fridge without spilling it all over the floor is an art form. The looks, size and coldness. Can't store tall items on fridge shelves.

Electrolux fridge a disappointment – I purchased an Elextrolux stainless steel fridge model number EQE6007SB-NAU in March 2010 for $3,129.00 with a 5 year extended warranty from The Good Guys. Just out of the Electrolux warranty the shelves and drawers are breaking. The stainless steel skin is paper thin and soft as butter and seems to attract pressure dings just by looking at it. I… Read more

had a tech from Electrolux out two weeks ago to inspect however have not yet heard back. Aside from this (Not Electrolux's fault granted) to add insult to injury the 5 year extended warranty from the Good Guys is not worth the paper it is written on as apparently the shelves and drawers are accessories and therefore not covered. The dictionary definition of Accessory is (A subordinate or supplementary item; an adjunct. b. Something nonessential but desirable that contributes to an effect or result.) How you can say that drawers and shelves in a fridge are non essential I have no idea....

Also Purchased the Electrolux Twin Clean Model number Z8266 in May 2009 from Harvey Norman for $460.00 after being talked out of a Dyson by the Harvey Norman sales person. This vacuum has been a disappointment. We have replaced the wand under warranty after the plastic clip that attaches it to the main unit broke and then the wand itself broke. The clip on the replacement wand also broke after a couple of months and we didn't bother with replacing again as it was clearly a design fault. The twin clean system is a joke with the filters needing to be cleaned manually otherwise it loses suction. The Vacuum itself packed up for good yesterday. When it is tuned on it starts and then immediately turns off. It could be a faulty switch however I am done with it. Have today replaced this pile of garbage with a Miele. We have not had any luck with Electrolux products. If you are shelling out your hard earned, then avoid disappointment and buy anything but Electrolux. Wide shelves and french doors Cheaply made garbage with a premium price tag.

Terrible – Not too happy overall with this fridge, we could have bought something better for the price...bit of a loss, but will contact Electrolux about the problems-hope they give a good response. Another reviewer was given another fridge but it also dented....I wouldnt go for this particular model. Nice looking, the best looking fridge at the time we were… Read more

buying. Easy to clean, simple easy design. It does not fit as much as it looks like it does. Flimsy freezer & fridge draws which break easily. The doors dented for no apparant reason....never happened with any other fridge we have owned. The finish marks very easily.

Ideal for a Deaf person – For a start. This fridge is exactly the same as Sharp. Every half hour this fridge charges for 30 minutes and makes a loud noise. Also, vegetables in large drawer become withered after 2 days. Dents appear for no reason. Shows up every finger print and forever wiping down. Very disappointed with manufacturers excuses about its condition. … Read more

Obviously not skilled in this appliance. Don't bother, buy second hand off trade me!! ice tray, door size good. Expensive, poor service, noisy, use too much electric, dents easy

The Best Fridge ever – I bought this fridge as teh walkway in front of where it goes is fairly narrow which makes opeaning a large fridge door impractical. This fridge works fantastic, for that purpose. It also looks fantsatic and has tone of space inside. Also perfect for large platters etc... if you are into catering or entertaining. The freezer section is really neat… Read more ·  1

too. Well compartmentalised and easy to find things quickly. Looks great, the short doors make it really easy to fit in front of a narrow walkway. Makes a little noise sometimes when the compressor is running

Terrible – Dont buy it, you will regret it, no matter how many things you find are good with it, the denting will override it all. Loved the way the french doors saved space in the kitchen and and it had really wide shelves. the dents, that appear for no apparent reason, it is just so dissapointing, do not buy this fridge if you have a family, the plastic… Read more

drawer lids break very easily as well, the easy denting is the worst though. Not at all happy with it, but it keeps the food cold I suppose.

Good – This fridge is actually made by Sharp - which inlcudes the pasma cutter feature to reduce smells etc. We boght this fridge in pref. because it looks a bit better then the sharp - however I think the sharp is a little more refined. However - had no probems with fridge smells without plasma cutter. No dints and no broken draws. If you got the… Read more

space then buy a pigeon pair. If not this is a good option. It's a big fridge and holds a lot. It was very quiet at first - but after about 10 months you can here the pump - but still quite. S/S is very easy to clean with micro fibre cloth. No swishing water sounds either.

I love the two draw ice cube tray. This fridge has so much more shelf space than a side by side fridge. I would have to say that the fridge temp isn't as cold as the LCD display indicates which is'nt a probem just set it cooler.

One of the freezers has a insulation strip at the top of the door which can easily pull off when pulling out the top draw.

The doors don't suck shut like a normal fridge so you have to be focused - but even so there is a chime to tell you that the fridge is open.

Terrible – A very expensive purchase. The costs continue with food wastage. Electrolux seemed to have a good reputation but this is not a good product. The internal design of shelves and bins limits the size of items you can store. The freezer bins continue to break and come off runners. I would not recommend it to anyone. This is not a good appliance. I… Read more

really liked the appearance of this fridge. Like other owners I have found the drawers very flimsy and have had to be replaced. The doors dented "of their own accord" have also been replaced. The bottom of my fridge compartment ices up and requires chipping off on a regular basis. One would expect an expensive fridge to keep food well however I am coninually throwing food away. Although the local repair people have made many repair visits I was informed only one was paid by Electolux which is disappointing.

Good – At first we were a little indifferent about it but the layout works if you give it a go. The freezer shelves fit it great amounts of stuff including lots of loaves of bread. we are a family of 4 and love this fridge. It looks like a built in fridge without the expense. I paid $2000 for it and bought some extra warranty - a bargain. Love the size… Read more

and the ability to put wide trays into it. The freezer components are great with shelves for everything. Nothing as yet we have had it for almost a year and it is fine.

Updated Dec 2017 – This is holds much more than my old F & P upside down fridge (442 litres), although I seem to always need more space than what I have. We are a household of 4 adults and so far it's been big enough. We entertain frequently so the shelf width is fantastic for platters. I would have liked an extra shelf and more height in the fridge area. But… Read more

overall really pleased.

Update Dec 2017: We still like the fridge overall, however, the clips on the doors that clip it shut both broke off shortly after purchase, and when we called Electrolux, they weren't really interested, and they told us we'd have to replace the doors entirely at our cost. Not happy with the customer service. reading the customer reviews here, I can see that Electrolux know there's an issue but are just denying it. Very disappointing. I'm an interior designer and I wouldn't recommend these products to my clients at all, nor purchase again. Very quiet. The shelves are easy to clean. You use less electricity by only opening one door, which keeps the cold in.The freezer is brilliantly designed and stores so much. It's stainless steel. I used to have a bright red fridge so this is a little bourgois for me.
