Electrolux French Door Refrigerator Reviews (Model #EW28BS71IS6)

Here's our disappointed Electrolux french door refrigerator reviews:

We purchased our Electrolux refrigerator 3 months ago and our ice maker has never worked properly.

Today I learned that the "fingers" that freeze the ice cubes were crushed thus creating the malfunction.

This was after having had one service call to replace the thermometers in the ice maker/freezer connections AND another call to put new glides put on the freezer trays. I have not even addressed that I can't slide the ice drawer in/out without force.

This is a sub par product that needs a complete overhaul before manufacturing any more units!

What a disappointment after spending over $3,500 for the unit?!?! Electrolux should stick to vacuums and induction cook tops.

The good news in all of this is that I am now able to return and exchange this junk since the unit is now determined to be unrepairable.

Ice maker from Hell NEW
by: William

We're on our third, this most recent unit was just replaced 1.5 months ago. Guess what?! No ice. I will never buy an Electrolux anything again.

OurEletrolux Ice Maker has Failed 4 Times
by: Anonymous

I bought an SXS Refrigerator (model EI28BS56IW0) about 2-1/2 years ago for nearly $2800 and the ice maker has failed FOUR TIMES - just stopped making ice.

The first time, the repair (a rework kit) was covered by the original warranty.

The next two upgrades were covered by extended warranty (an additional $180.

Now this fourth event is up to me to get fixed because the extended warranty expired a couple months ago.

But the ORIGINAL problem has obviously not been corrected: The ice maker should not be failing this often - this is terrible reliability.

I contacted Electrolux and they simply confirmed that it's up to me to buy an extended warranty year after year to keep this ice maker going.

It is otherwise a great refrigerator - I'm amazed that their ice maker hasn't been recalled.

Ice Maker Crushed Fingers
by: Huntington, WV

Our Electrolux French door refrigerator (model EI28BS561S) was installed in Sept. 2010.

The ice maker lasted 5 months before failing with "Crushed Fingers" - it's a technical term not a literal thing.

Apparently it is a fairly common thing to happen to this model and Electrolux is now backing it by replacing the entire refrigerator.

The Tech said he was "condemning the unit".

I agree it is a shame such an expensive unit would be flawed like this, but I must admit that Electrolux has been GREAT to work with.

Ice maker
by: Anonymous

We purchased a French door refrigerator by Eletrolux and within a few week we could only get crushed ice out, no cubed.

A few days later we noted this loud clicking sound from the ice maker and then water dripping inside. We removed and defrosted the icemaker and still clicking and dripping. Finally we just turned the ice maker off...way too much trouble to be bothered with.

No more Electrolux for us. Sell now!

Terrible Ice Makers on Electrolux Refrigerators (model EW28BS71156)
by: Anonymous

I bought this Electrolux refrigerator just 2 months ago. The ice maker went out and there is water all over.

When you pay this kind of money, they need to do something about correcting this ice maker and give a credit adjustment to everyone who has these problems.

Repair man told us they have already redesigned this three times in one year.

Electrolux Side by Side French Door Fridge
by: Anonymous

My Electrolux side by side fridge was installed at the beginning of Sept 2010.

The ice maker lasted about one week before it quit. It was serviced but only adjusted.

About one month later, once again no ice maker. This time the part took over a month to get installed.

It is now Dec 21/10 and there is no water or ice.

I wonder how many times Electrolux will repair the same problem. Hopefully, it will last more than a month after this next fix.
