Electrolux fridge EBE4507SA – It was a good fridge for about 4 years, then it develop an issue with too much humidity in the food compartment, I was advised to replace the door seal. I contacted Electrolux own spare parts service and redirect to a another supplier. where the price over the phone for the seal was just under $200.00. then applied on line and the price drop to… Read more
$120.00. ready to place the order I was told there was no stock. I contacted Electrolux again and was told the wait was four months......finally end up buying another fridge from Hisense. No happy with Electrolux.

Replacement of door handles – If you break your handles on your electrolux fridge just order a replacement set from https://www.ebay.com.au/str/motivetronics Really easy fix as it is just two screws.
Ok fridge with flimsy door handle – Generally happy with this fridge, apart from the fridge door handle, which has been replaced twice, once within 12mths, 2nd time within 5yrs. In hindsight the handle is too flimsy for this fridge, something that’s impossible to know by looking at floor stock in a shop. The door has strong suction when in operation. I wouldn’t recommend this model.… Read more
Otherwise, operation-wise this fridge is fine. Some difficulty cleaning behind crisper drawers (to this day I have been unable to remove the drawers) is my only other complaint.

Do not buy Electrolux fridge – Within a short time of owning this fridge the handle came off. Customer service was unhelpful. But my main gripe is how difficult it is to take the drawers out for cleaning.

Quality has gone down since my last Electrolux fridge – When I bought this fridge, I was basing my decision on my previous fridge EBE4300SCLH which was the most wonderful fridge I have ever owned. Unfortunately, this fridge does not cut it. The first thing that happened was it made a high pitched noise that I could still hear in the bathroom. The converter was running constantly, only stopped for a… Read more
short while after a few hours.
Second, the internals look seemingly the same in photos, but are way different. Effective space utilisation has been reduced by at least 15% I would say. Shelf adjustment is also limited.
When I stuffed the freezer from my previous LG fridge, I couldn't fit every thing in. The veggie compartment is so much smaller and the fridge instantly looked narrower.
I took the measuring tape and indeed, all compartments were 7cm shorter than the previous generation. I looked to the rails and there it was. The rails have been added to the door, not recessed as it was in the previous version.
The EBE4300SCLH cost me AUD1800 back in 2011 and the EBE4507SC cost me AUD1499. If I remember correctly, back in 2011 Electrolux was made in Australia, now it is made in Thailand.
Obviously, the Thailand crew took the simplest approach to constructing this fridge and nobody from the design team at HQ cared enough to maximise storage capacity. Very disappointed. Would not recommend Electrolux anymore.
I would rather pay $300 and get a decently designed fridge than have live with such a badly designed product, because over 10-15 years, what are $300?
For my next purchase, I will consider Electrolux again, as I hope they will get back to their root.
This fridge was returned.
I highly recommend looking at fridges in the showroom rather than buying it online unseen.
Sleek and stylish fridge – Beautiful looking fridge with easy to clean stainless steel finish. I have the left hand opening model. Interior layout of fridge and freezer is excellent, the best in the bottom mounts available in my opinion. There is a dedicated place for everything. Bottle rack and twist icemaker are very handy. The looks and interior layout and excellent LED… Read more
lighting were main reasons I bought this fridge. Fridge is not quiet, but it's not loud and intrusive like my Fisher & Paykel was. Fridge tends to maintain a consistent temperature throughout fridge and freezer compartments. My only concerns with this fridge is the durability and build quality. Door handles are screwed on, not welded on the door during manufacture like the Fisher & Paykel it replaced was. As the fridge door handle is very long, it can tend to flex when the door seal is at full suction and you have to pull the door harder to open it. Also the glass shelves tend to bow when slightly heavier dishes are placed on them. This never happened with my previous fridge and I used to place heavy cast iron cookware on them. Hopefully the electronics and compressor are durable. I got 19 years out of my last fridge. I'm not confident this fridge will last as long as that. Only time will tell I suppose. I would definitely recommend purchasing this fridge.
I absolutely love our fridge – We have had our 450L bottom mount Electrolux Left opening black fridge for exactly one year now. We couldn't be happier. Despite taking up smaller space than my old top mount it has far more interior room. I love having a large crisper drawer which keeps the vegetables at an ideal temperature, which makes them last longer. As vegetarians we need… Read more
to be able to have a good supply of veggies. We're mad cheese lovers and the dedicated cheese drawer was what made me decide finally on this fridge. I also love the wine rack on which we store wine, milk in bottles, mineral water and soft drinks. There's enough room under the rack for spare eggs, (there's also an egg tray) etc.
The freezer holds a good amount of food, also more than my old one. I appreciate the top, smaller drawer, which is perfect for my chiller blocks, pizzas, and small packs of left over frozen items. The fridge is quiet, while running you can hear a low humm, however if there is any kind of ambient noise, you can't hear a thing. This fridge beeps if the door is left open too long, which is great with a husband who likes to make a salad sandwich with the door open. It also has a holiday mode to reduce electricity consumption when we're on holidays. The black finish is easy to care for, just a wipe with a damp chamois and I don't find that finger prints are all that noticeable, despite what I've read in other reviews. All in all, I couldn't recommend this refrigerator more highly.

Customer Care Service was Good – My daughter has the EBE4507SA model fridge/freezer. After a few years the fridge handle came off and they have been using without a handle for a few years now. It appears you cannot buy clips to replace on the handle and you are required to buy both the fridge handle and freezer handle which come in a kit and the price is quite considerable. I… Read more
reached out to Electrolux Customer Care who were very helpful - I must admit. The fridge is well out of warranty now but they were able to assist, much to my surprise. It appears that some of these fridges have issues with the handles but other than that there have been no other issues over the years of ownership. I just wanted to give a complimentary shout out to the Customer Care folks.
Excellent fridge with one flaw – Excellent fridge: it’s appearance, effectiveness, and the layout of shelves with two crispers. Sadly, shelves and crispers are so difficult to remove and replace for cleaning. It’s the only flaw. Show details
More than happy – Have had this unit for two years and never missed a beat. I bought this to replace a similar same brand after moving and renovating kitchen. Inside it has really strong glass shelves which hold heavy items without problems.The meat storage drawer and the bottom vegetable storage drawer are wonderful. Really extends the life of stored fresh … Read more
produce. The freezer has two deep drawers and one shallow drawer particularly useful to store flat packets of frozen pastry etc. I find the ice cube dispenser a great addition easy to fill and fit, it slides into place with a container underneath. One twist and the ice cubes drop into the container ready for use no mess or struggle involved. Very energy efficient too.
Negative reviews
Terrible. Developed a noise at less than six months – Have had fridge for six months, makes a rattling sound that is audible at all hours. Because of the low frequency I can actually hear it while trying to sleep. It’s not the normal sound a fridge makes, it’s a defect and I’ve tried to get it fixed twice through service calls (Mainer and Cocran) and am now waiting for an outcome from Electrolux. I… Read more
do not recommend any fridge from this brand, I had a fisher and paykel prior to this that was dead silent and lasted 20 years. Very disappointed.
Pedestals are broken – We bought the fridge a few years ago, the pedestals broken, to replace them, there are not available, and have to buy handlers as well, which cost over $200 for 2 X replacement. The handlers are still in perfect condition. What waste!
The handle is a failure – The refrigerator is good. The top handle is not fit for purpose. The top and bottom clips have shattered inside the mounting pedestals. Replacement cost is $150+: far too much for pensioners with no guarantee of satisfaction. Show details
Contact with Electrolux customer care on 28 June 2022. Fridge is too old to do anything with other… Read more

Expensive to replace handle pedestal – We bought the fridge 2017. One of handle pedestal broken, there is no replacement for the pedestal which is about $30, l have to buy two new handle which costs $150. Can't understand. Show details
I got a lemon – My fridge is 5 years old and its been serviced 3 times for the same fault in the first 3 years. Now its forming ice in the freezer compartment. Is it worth spening money or get something else? Show details
Crap. Might as well pay another AUD2000 to get food poisoning – 2 months post buying this fridge, an Electrolux technician said this model fridge component breaks down which is normal for it. The fridge component does not keep the foodstuff cold many times without us knowing. There were heaps of groceries thrown out after 1 day and my partner has food poisoning a couple of times from 1-day spoiled milk. Not… Read more
only that, we have lost nearly AUD1000 for thrown out groceries like milk, cheese, meat and fresh produce. Electrolux said they cannot guarantee the new replacement fridge will be better but they hope it could be a better batch. The phone call and schedule of any service from them take ages. Highly recommended if you want this model of fridge, you should provision another AUD1000 for medical bills, fresh food and take-outs while the fridge does not work after 2 months.

Poor product, worse customer support and ethics – Purchased from Appliances Online 22/06/2017. 3 breakdowns in 4 year with repair times all more than 10 days. Very slow (days or even weeks) customer service response via email. The most recent breakdown October 2021 Electrolux stated in an email if the problem was a manufacturing fault there would be no charge. At the end of the repair they made… Read more
my tenant pay on the spot which was very upsetting to them, and we were not advised beforehand. After this repair I have politely asked Electrolux to comply with “Reasonable durability” as per there responsibility under Australian Consumer law and refund the repair cost which they have not as of this review. An poor quality product and unethical company to deal with from my experience. Will never considered Electrolux again after this experience, suggested you do the same.

Nice looking fridge BUT – Good looking fridges. We purchased two and have them side-by-side with a connector kit. Good points: - runs quite - fridge and freezer drawers are smooth. - lighting in the fridge is great Bad points: - can’t level fridges correctly as they lean back too much - fridge shelves appear flimsy. Put a casserole dish and looks like it will cave in. Bend is pronounced. Show details
Nice clean design – Very happy with workings & look of fridge - efficient, quiet & stylish. Not 5stars as we had to separately change the opening side to LH hinge. It only comes in RH hinge version Show details
Absolute rubbish – Handles have snapped off 3 times so decided not to replace handles now.the fridge is constantly beeping now. something to do with temperature . It beeps 2 am in morning. This fridge should not be on the market. Total waste of money. Show details
Hi Chikko, Denise from Electrolux here. We are sorry… Read more
I have had lots of problems – Its working now but the thermostat was replaced 3 times and now the door handles have broken. Electrolux were kind and replaced the handles but I have no idea how to fix to the door without a service call. The Fridge has not been lucky for me and now its a discontinued model despite being top of the range for its size at the time. If anyone can teach me how to put the handles on it would be great.

Absolutely Pathetic – Bought this in August 2017, worked fine for 2 years. But after a month outside the warranty period just died, called the Electrolux repair service which they replaced the main electric board, then after 1 month died again. Then called the service man again who poured hot water in the ice creation in the freezer section. Then after 1 month died… Read more
again. Then again poured hot water. Then after 2 months died again. Called another service guy who told that the board needs to be replaced. So called the earlier Electrolux service they told they’ll need to start the service process again.
Just horrible, I’ll never get another Electrolux or its subsidiary company products.

Awesome Product & Repair Service – Awesome Repair & Maintenance service. Repairmain on time, and porfessional fast, and accurate, polite A rare fault that was replaced rapidly with no fuss and with minimal fuss and time. Also Serviceman was able to give handy tips on how to use the Fridge better & save money on power usage Show details
Sleek and Practical – Bought the fridge eight months ago and we couldn't be happier! Love its overall size coz it doesn't look too big in our townhome kitchen. But with its compact size it has spacious and conveniently laid out compartments. Also love its long straight handle and sleek edges. Show details
Love this fridge – Replaced my westinghouse fridge with the Electrolux bottom mount and absolutely love this fridge. Consistent temperature the shelves in the door placed perfectly and slide, the door handle is great. Everything about this Fridge is fantastic. Show details
Fantastic Electrolux Bottom Mount Fridge – Having downsized had to purchase a new fridge. Having previously owned the larger Electrolux Bottom Mount fridge & have been extremely happy with it for 8 years, unfortunately would not fit the space in my new home. I decided again on the Electrolux as interior well thought out & one of the cheapest fridges to run.
A very good fridge, very happy with it – Electrolux EBE4507SA Bought from Harvey Norman with a cashback offer. Pros 1. It has good solid drawers with proper sliders, so the drawers slide in and out smoothly and easily, unlike all the other fridges in the same price range that I looked at. 2. The fridge door shelves are lined with silicone mats on the bottom, so things don’t move around… Read more
when opening and shutting the fridge door. They also make it very easy to clean. 3. The freezer has three pull out drawers, again with proper sliders, much better than just an open space like in some fridges. 4. Food lasts a long time in this fridge. 4. It uses very little electricity. 5. The lighting in the fridge is excellent.
Cons 1. After you close the fridge door its locks up for almost a minute as it repressurises (like some chest freezers). I've found though that if it's locked and you want to open the fridge door again, open and close the freezer door, then it releases the fridge door. This only works once though, then you have to wait another 50 seconds! It does teach you to plan ahead! 2. While it's not noisy, at times there is a constant hum, which can be noticeable, especially at night.
Nice design but very loud – I really like the design of the fridge, nice lighting excellent cooling, nice sliding fridge drawers and chiller and a good amount of space. Unfortunately, it is extremely loud when the compressor is on which is most of the time. The sound is a combination of the typical compressor growl with a very distracting high pitched whine. It is winter… Read more
here (Melbourne) and the manual says that the compressor will run more often in warmer temperatures so I can only imagine how loud it will be in summer. My advice would be to stay away from this model unless your kitchen is in a soundproof room....
Great looking high end fridge – One of the fridges with excellent handles that will not break off. The door shelves are great if you have small children haha. The door shelves seem to be stuck now that we've put them in. We'll probably break the tiny white plastic retainers if we try to remove them. How will we remove them to clean them? Salespeople said the door shelves are not… Read more
meant to be removed. On the other hand the freezer drawers come out very easy, too easy! Temperature regulation is sensational. I think you could use it in a professional kitchen. The door finish is awesome. No fingerprints. No reflection. Excellent.
Excellent – Great having a freezer at the bottom with three draws. Easy access to all shelves in the freezer and the fridge Can be slightly noisy when motor kicks in but this doesn’t last for long and we are now used to it. Would certainly purchase another Electrolux product and recommend to others. Show details
Great for family of 3 to 4 – I like the eco cooling feature. The fridge is easily pull to open and close. The product have an alert if you forgot to close the fridge. However, the ice twist tray is very small and sometime hard the turn it back after twist all the ice off, guess the plastic tray or the spring is not that good in quality. Bought it from Harvey Norman when they have cashback promo. Overall it’s good product Show details
Interior fridge parts not solidly built, and constant humming noise of fridge fan is a distraction – In the showroom, the fridge appears to be well designed and feels solid. However, after delivery as we were removing the blue sticky tape / packaging inside the fridge, one of the dairy compartments fell off the door and fell to the floor smashing. Electrolux Customer Services team were excellent and sent a prompt replacement. However on… Read more
operating the fridge circulating fan makes a humming noise about 60-80% of the time which proves very distracting given that we live in a unit with a lounge kitchen area. When the compressor comes on after the door has been opened it is even noisier. Am surprised that the fridge is so loud given the low efficiency rating and higher cost than comparable brands.
Cools food well but overall not as high quality as expected.
Quality and design – I was looking for a quality fridge good looking and affordable so after a month or so I narrowed my search to 3 brands fisher and paykel, Panasonic and electrolux, after taking into consideration the power consumption and the smart features Electrolux won the quality inside and out the smart technology and the $88 dollars yearly power consumption… Read more
is just stunning now the fridge have learnt our use patterns and never heard the fridge working again... just great plus no finger prints
Perfect size for large family – This fridge is amazing. Stacks really well very spacious. Looks like new after having it for years. Best of all easy to clean. Its keeps all food at a consistent temperature. Very large crispers are great for a large family. The pull out freezer draws make it easy to see food clearly. Show details
Exceeded my expectations – I am happy with this fridge and the handle does not come off, it was attached at delivery. I wanted to wait until after I had plenty of time to measure its efficiency before writing a Review. I am pleased to report it is more efficient than its small replacement, it is easy to clean and organise inside and it is aesthetically pleasing. Do not make the mistake I made thinking a small fridge will be more efficient! Show details
