We ordered an Electrolux dryer through Home Depot, It showed up on time (that's the only good thing we can say about it). We set it up and it would not stay running, I called the 1-800 # and followed the steps they recommended. Still would not stay running, I called back and they sent out a repairman (third party). He replaced the motherboard and the propane kit, he left and the dryer was running. After the cycle completed I open the dryer and it was still wet, called the repairman back. He ran diagnostics on it. Had to order another part, came back still won't work. I call electrolux again. "Margarette" said they will not replace it until a 3rd attempt to repair was made. On his 4th attempt he called electrolux and said "I can not get it running. I replaced 80% of this thing," obviously they did not know they were on speaker phone as they said to him.
"That's your problem. We never said we would replace anything this customer is a liar, figure it out." Nice people, I call electrolux again. Explain it to them again and ask for a replacement. nNw they say I refused service so they will not replace or refund. I explain this is not the case. Customer service rep said she will have her supervisor call me Monday ... Wednesday no call, now we are waiting for another part and another attempt to repair, $1,000 dryer. I have had it for 7 weeks and I have never been able to use it.

We ordered a stackable Electrolux washer & dryer in late Nov and received delivery in Dec. The first 60 days or so were fine. Then the problems started... After about 2 months, the dryer stopped working. The drum assembly had to be replaced. That took 3+ weeks from beginning to end. Now, just into the 5th month since delivery, the washing machine is down. Electrolux has sent 2 different service companies that diagnosed the problem as a cracked outer drum but both refused to fix it. They both said it is too big a job and the washer should be replaced. Electrolux sent a 3rd company that was scheduled to fix the washer, but showed up only prepared to diagnose the problem. Again, for the 3rd time.
The washer has been down now for 4 weeks and we are looking at another 3 weeks for just the parts before it can even get scheduled for a teardown/rebuild with a new drum. The local store (not a big box store) we purchased from wanted nothing to do with servicing the units or helping me with getting service after he collected payment. He just gave me Electrolux's phone number and pointed to the door. My advice to anyone shopping for a new washer (and dryer) is similar to the help I received from my dealer - if they recommend Electrolux, head for the door.

My washing machine stopped worked in less than 3 years. I spent an hour trying to call customer service and kept getting transferred. The last transfer told me I had a 45 minute wait time with no option for a call back. I would NEVER buy any Electrolux appliance as it should not break down the way it did in less than 3 years. Even if I had an extended warranty, I can't get to speak to anyone. The worst customer service I have ever seen.

I purchased EFLS627UTT & EFMC627UTT in May 2020. The dryer motor failed and needed to be replace. I sent Electrolux an email and never heard back from them. I would hope that you would get more than three years out of a new dryer. I would not buy their product again and would recommend you check the reviews for this company before you buy.

We purchased an Electrolux Washing machine model number ELFW7637AW1 from a Lowe's in August 2022. The machine worked fine until February 2023, then it started making an extremely loud, scraping noise several times throughout the cycle. We called to have warranty service done and the first technician came out in early March and order a new solenoid valve. Took another 2 weeks for the part to come in and schedule another appointment. Replaced it and there was no difference.
Brilliant Electrolux said to order the same part over again because it might be faulty. Waited another 2 weeks. And during all this time I need to sit on a stool in front of the washer and when it starts grinding, I was told to hit pause, turn the water source off, wait 10 seconds, then hit start again. This happens several times per cycle. Second solenoid (third visit to our house) did nothing. Fourth technician visit decided we needed two new condensate pumps. Fifth visit to our house the tech put in the 2 pumps and it still made the horrendous noise.
I recorded this visit and I have him saying the machine can't be fixed. Electrolux says they have to send another tech to "write up the replacement order". Sixth technician came out, and said that it needs to be replaced and tried to call Electrolux numerous times, but kept getting "due to the unusually high call volume, we cannot take your phone call." I spent the next 2 weeks being told from Electrolux that they haven't heard from the tech and the tech saying they can't get thru to Electrolux. What a scam! We have wasted 6 days on technicians with a window of 8am to 5pm, and many more hours on the phone with Electrolux. What good is a warranty if they can't fix your machine and won't replace it? I will NEVER buy an Electrolux appliance again.

I purchased the Electrolux set- 4.3 cu ft front load washer with IQ Touch controls and the 8.0 cu ft electric front load dryer with steam feature. The sales person at Appliance World said they loved the unit but I have had too many issues to love anything. Socks and Lint get caught behind the lint filter. When this happens the dryer shuts down and a repair person has to reset the unit. My repair man stated this could cause a fire as the heater unit is there and all that cotton material is resting on it.
The dryer also has a steam feature which, I did not realize, did not shut off after use one evening and I woke up to a flood in my closet. The washer has a rubber lip which gets moldy and my clothes start to smell. I have to clean the rubber out and remove all that nasty stuff. The rubber lip also has what looks like a patch on it making me think I got sold a reconditioned model instead of a new one. I used to have a simple GE apartment model- no bells or whistles but it never broke. I would not recommend this unit to anyone.

This washer is less than two years old. There are only three adults living in the household. The part has been unavailable to fix it for two months, and the company has no idea when it will be available. If I knew this was a Frigidaire brand, I wouldn't have purchased it. The customer service is nonsensical. You wait on the line trying to talk to an actual person only to have them tell you nothing. Long story short, $900 down the drain in less than two years. If my grandparents had this happen over and over with these terrible and unreliable appliances, they would be storming the corporate offices with pitchforks. Do yourself a favor and run away from Electrolux!

On Feb. 27, 2023 we purchased an Electrolux washer Model # ELFW7637AW from the Canadian Appliance Source. The product arrived 4 days later. We were delighted that it came so quickly. It got delivered and installed. But when my husband turned it on, things went awry. The light inside only came on when it was first plugged in, but then it didn't come on again. Then there was an issue with the door. It would not "CLOSE". So the machine did not function at all.
We immediately contacted Electrolux who had a repair person come 3 days later! They were here for 1 hour and finally determined that it needed a whole new control module part #5304529891! This is a brand new machine. Apparently the part is not available in Canada and we must now wait at least another 10 days for it to arrive! This is so disgusting to me. Electrolux's warranty policy is to repair, replace or refund. They always want to repair! We don't want the machine, but have been given the runaround. My husband has spoken to so many different individuals. We will never purchase another product from Electrolux again.

At the end of October, I ordered an Electrolux washer and dryer after reading great reviews and talking to the sales people in the appliance department. I always liked their vacuum cleaners. Phrasing kindly, I had a difficult time with the big chain store's communications and work, and one delivery team for a December 2 delivery (one didn't want to take upstairs and was looking at every excuse not to) and they cancelled my order. When it finally was delivered the January 6th, I heard a strange noise like a saw sound, at the beginning of the cycle. The dryer was fine, except it didn't collect lint. I read that in October 2022, Electrolux was laying off thousands of workers and closing a plant in Anderson, S.C. due to low demand. Was this affecting quality?
I gave up on that home improvement store, and changed to Lowe's. They delivered two machines that made the same noise-- it wasn't the shipping bolts, and the last machine leaked. The delivery guy said the noise would go away (ha!). Each team left the units, because they didn't want to deal with anymore. I played a video with the noise to a Lowe's rep over the phone, and one thought I was on a runway with an old plane. We laughed. I called Electrolux and was transferred 5 times, once to a repair department with an appointment a week away -- I declined. "Oh, you need to talk to someone that works with the Lowe's stores", "Oh, you need Frigidaire", "Oh, you need Electrolux", "That's just the rinse cycle", "Is this your refrigerator?" I wrote an email to the company, and they said, "Call customer service."
I really wanted to buy this machine! It looks like quality, and is heavy and quiet when it's not taking off! I envy those that have a set that give 5 stars. Lowe's manager said, "Just try one more." Customer service had a quick next day pickup and delivery. The same delivery team came that installed a dud and was bringing another washer, and said, "What are you doing?!!" I agreed, it was crazy. Lowe's was at least quick to remedy each time, and the store management too was great. I ordered a LG Wash tower. It was weird. It worked the first time and I was done after 3 months of trying just to buy a quality set.

Electrolux doesn't honor their warranty. We purchased Electrolux washer to replace our 12 year old Electrolux. Had excessive vibration and thumping after 1 month. Electrolux Warranty sent tech out who said it was normal since Electrolux machines are made "cheaper" now. A few months later, drum broke free and destroyed inside of machine and motor. Electrolux Warranty sent same repair tech out. He told them it wasn't repairable. We spent 1 month of phone calls to Electrolux Warranty requesting they honor warranty and provide a replacement/rebate. Finally, they said they were going to start the process over again with a new repair company so they could get a second opinion and it would be another month at least. We gave up and purchased an LG. We will NEVER buy Electrolux again.

We have an Electrolux dryer for less than 2 years, and it started to make a weird noise, when we contacted the company they simply refused to send a technician as part of the warranty! My advice; stay away from this company or any company that can't stand behind their products and takes responsibility when something goes wrong. It is bad when an appliance breaks after so short time but it is way worse when the company leaves you high and dry rather than stepping in be accountable for it. Simply disgusting!

UPDATED ON 02/15/2023: This is an update for a previous review. I've had 3 service techs come to work on my washer and it's still not working. The last one ordered the electronic board that controls the motor that spins the drum and the motor. Received the board but not the motor. Called twice to A&E Factory Service and was told that the board had shipped but they couldn't provide any info on the motor, the 2nd time was told it was on backorder. Ended up calling the manufacturer and they had the part. A&E never bothered to contact the manufacturer to see if it was available from them. Well, it was. These 2 entities don't talk/communicate with each other. They keep blaming the other and shuffling me back and forth.
ORIGINAL: Did some research before I bought a new washer. Thought Electrolux was a reliable brand that the company would stand behind. I was wrong. It never would spin like designed. Left clothes wet enough that I could hand wring out. Repair tech didn't listen and tried to convince me that the problem was the water pump. He replaced it and it did not work any differently. Tried calling Electrolux to get them to stand up and back their product but just got the runaround. 2nd tech came and diagnosed the motherboard was bad. A&E Factory Service tried to order and it supposedly was back-ordered. I called Electrolux just for them to tell me that they had parts and were waiting for the repair company or the customer to report a problem before they would help. That's not customer service more like customer self-service. Been 2 months and still not a working washer.

Between a refrigerator and a washing machine; both made by Electrolux, and both failing a few months after the warranty expired, I have come to believe that Electrolux deliberately designs their products to fail just outside the warranty range. I strongly recommend that everyone stay away from the garbage that Electrolux sells.

Bought an Electrolux efls627 washer 2 years ago. The main bearing on the tub is already going. Owned LG and Samsung and the bearings went out in 5 years and I thought that was bad. Bought this due to good ratings. Not good for longevity or reliability. Really cheaply built. Most washers now still use clamps to retain hoses so they stay in place and don't leak. Not Electrolux they use wire ties. So you have to cut them off and buy new wire ties to take hoses on and off. The Samsung and LG front load washer had balance weights that were metal or a really hard composite of cement and some kind of resin. Not this crappy Electrolux. It has a poor quality of cement. You have to be careful taking them off while disassembling the washer for fear they will crumble. I bought the washer because it was highly rated. That was due to features and hype.
Don't buy this thing unless you want to replace it in 2 years. Replacing the tub bearing requires buying the rear tub assembly. That part costs around $400 (I got an open box off of eBay for 250). But if you had a repairman do this, the part would cost at least $400 and the repair labor would likely be over $200. So you are paying over $600 dollars to repair a washer that is only worth $800. So unless you want to Spend at least $800 dollars every two years don't buy Electrolux. By the way. Working on this thing is horrible as well. This thing is the biggest ** I have ever seen. Makes me certain I will buy LG the next time. Oh, and they mix SAE and metric to make it even more fun.

Our brand new top of the line dryer keeps letting lint get pass the lint trap, creating a fire hazard. Called Electrolux customer service and they sent A&E Factory Appliance Repair to fix it under warranty. A&E ordered some parts and replaced them on the second visit (this did not fix the problem). I then received two bills from A&E for $500. I called Electrolux and said "hey you guys scheduled the repair, it's under warranty, why am I getting bills?". Electrolux said "No problem, we called them and paid the bills, you're good." A month later I get debt collector letters from A&E for the service. I called Electrolux and they said "Well those repairs aren't under warranty, sorry we lied to you, the person on the phone gave you the wrong information." They wouldn't make it right and kept arguing that lint getting past the lint trap is a cosmetic issue. Both A&E and Electrolux are awful to deal with. Stay away.

I purchased 1 1/2 years ago a brand new washer and dryer from Electrolux. The wash machine started rusty looking water and sound like a plane was landing. I picked this wash machine due to it supposedly being quiet. We luckily had an extended warranty, but I am still waiting 2 1/2 months for it to be fixed. The serve man has been out here twice. Once to diagnose, and a 2nd time to fix. When he went to fix the machine with the replacement part, the main tub is defective. I am waiting for the FedEx slow to deliver another new tub. I would NEVER recommend Electrolux or purchase another one. I have always had Maytag and never this issue. The money I have lost having to go to the laundromat while I wait for parts is adding up. Their support is not helpful or understanding.

Washer motherboard was never right even when the washer was new. It randomly switched settings. It finally broke down and we saw nothing but E-11 error messages. Electrolux platinum warranty is garbage - we'll have gone a month without a functioning washer. Communication from Electrolux is garbage - they cancelled our appointment without any notification since they thought the parts had not arrived. They rescheduled it another week out. They will put their responsibilities to you - asked me to remove the dryer from our stackable unit. It's a platinum warranty and I need to do the labor? Seriously? Customer service is a joke. Stay away - or stock up on quarters for the laundry mat, save up your time away from work to wait for the appointments and subsequent anonymous cancellations and hit the protein shakes so you don't throw out your back unstacking the dryer.

After careful research, we purchased an Electrolux washer and dryer to replace 20 year old Maytag units. This was a huge mistake. After just over one year, the washer sounds like it will explode during the rinse cycle. It leaks rust into the tumbler (ruining laundry) and it leaks onto our floor. The service agency assigned by Electrolux reports that the entire tumbler and inside components need to be replaced, and would not guarantee that the washer would operate properly. We are still trying to get Electrolux to step up and stand by their product. After 2 months, we still do not have resolution. Our advice is to steer clear of this brand and its products.

I inherited the Electrolux perfect steam dryer when I bought my home in 2018. This thing was always loud but it got to the point that you couldn’t even hear the TV in the other room and it would bang around. I had a repair man out who showed me that a ton of lint built up inside and causes the thing to run off balance. It’s important to note that I clean the lint trap with every cycle and this still happened. I do have 4 children so I do a ton of laundry. It was working perfectly for 3 months and now the noise is starting again. I am so upset that I’d have to pay another $300 to have this thing serviced again after only three months. The entire machine needs to come apart to do this.
This is a horrible flaw and because my units are stacked, I’m likely looking at having to replace both of them now. The washer is okay. I don’t love it but I don’t hate it. It does get build up easily and you have to wipe it out after every use to keep this down. I had Whirlpool at my previous home and owned them for 10 years without one issue. I will never purchase Electrolux.

Received our brand new Electrolux washer and dryer and the dryer made a clunking noise right when we got it. Electrolux offered to have it fixed but wouldn’t be for 3 months (and the sound is really loud when running so very annoying), Costco offered to replace the unit so we did that. Just got the new one today and it does the exact same thing if not worse. Now it’s going to be another week until we get a new one again and I have a feeling it will do the same thing. Seems like the side of the unit gets a bit dented in during delivery and then the drum scrapes against it.

It is impossible to clean the holes and grooves in the gasket and the part of the drum I can reach. I am retired. I would need the grip strength of an acrobat to pull the gasket out enough to clean it and it is impossible to clean all the small holes with a Qtip although that's our only recourse. We have tried various cleaning products with minimal success. I have pictures of Qtips covered with black mold and/or soap residue. Finally there is no provision in this washer to trap pet hair. It is necessary to pull back the gasket and clean it with a cloth. Our clothes smell moldy once they are dry. The Qtips come out black no matter how many times we have cleaned this washer. Large items like bed sheets come out in a knotted mess.

Terrible experience!!!! I am very, very disappointed with the breakdown of my Electrolux washing machine purchased from Home Depot in Newmarket Ontario Sept 2021. Three months after purchasing the washer, the internal filter clogged up. I had to call a repairman in to open up the machine to clean the filter for me. All other machines have the filter accessible by the home owner on the front of the washer. This is a serious design flaw. The dryer also has a design flaw in that small items get stuck on top of the filter, stopping the exhaust. This stops the exhaust air and the clothes don't dry. This is a serious design error. The newer model has a sloped filter so the clothes aren't trapped. But the washer has been the most problematic. After five months, the washer door locked at the end of a cycle and could not be opened. But the message was "Close Door."
The earliest appointment for a technician from the Electrolux authorized service tech was 3 weeks later!!! The wet clothes stayed in the dryer until the tech came to unlock it 3 weeks later. Most washer door locks can be overridden by a simple release in the front mounted filter door...NOT ON THIS WASHER. This is another serious design flaw! The authorized technician replaced the door latch but said that the code indicated that the electronic control board needed replacing. He put it an order. ANOTHER 3 WEEKS passed before the part came in!!! He returned and replaced 2 control boards and promised that this seemed to have solved the problem. BUT, three hours later, my first load of laundry in over two months, stopped at the end of the cycle with the door locked again!!!! And with the same message "Close Door!"
After many calls to Electrolux, I'm still only getting acknowledgements that they received my email and call...no solutions! Is it going to take ANOTHER 3 WEEKS to get a technician back in to confirm that the machine is indeed broken??? And will it be ANOTHER 3 WEEKS to get more parts??? I have been without laundry for over two months!!!! This has been a huge hassle and aggravation to get hold of someone at Electrolux who can resolve this problem. I bought what I thought was premium machines that would last me at least the next 15 years. These machines have serious design faults. Now I just want my money back. I cannot recommend buying Electrolux Washers and dryers!

My Electrolux dryer is less than 2 years old and to date I have been without a dryer waiting for repairs for over four months. Neither Trail Appliances nor Electrolux are standing behind their warranty. Dec 5, I received a call from Trail Service who said the major mother board of the dryer would not be available until Feb 15th. I said that was not acceptable and requested that they contact Electrolux to replace the dryer. They refused and told me I had to work with Electrolux.
I have contacted Electrolux almost weekly. They sent out a new repair company TransGlobal who has said the same. This dryer that is less than two years old requires all electronics to be replaced plus other parts. Electrolux will not live up to their warranty promise on their website. If it cannot be repaired in a reasonable manner, we will replace your appliance. What is reasonable about a dryer that requires all major electronics being replaced and the parts still not available 4 months later. Trail is happy to sell to you, but give you NO SERVICE in extending circumstances. Like their repairman said, buy the cheapest and the extended warranty. All electronics come from Mexico or China. Buying Electrolux was a waste of money as they do not live up to their warranty.

The washer does not have a water filter that is accessible from the front. I had to get a service call to get a technician to open up the machine and clear the filter.

I purchased our unit about a year ago, it does not require ventilation so I was unsure what to expect. Turned out to be a great investment, the washer spins so fast on the rinse cycle that you could actually air dry most of your clothes in a timely manner. The dryer is self ventilating so it does blow warm air into the room it is situated in, so in very hot weather I could see that being an issue. I live in Tucson AZ so I'm no stranger to warm weather, even so it's really not that bad if you have an AC going, or willing to hang your clothes on a rack/line. Otherwise it's a great set, I put essential oils in the dryer when doing loads sometimes and it freshens up the house! If anything changes I'll update the review.

I have owned two sets of Electrolux Washers and Dryers and have the same problems with both sets. The dryer went out within 3 years of purchase. Both times, I supposedly had a warranty that was to last up to 3 years for parts. I called two weeks ago with the Platinum Star Warranty certificate in hand for this latest set. The service department was unable to find a service provider in my area initially and elevated the issue to another department who in turn was supposed to call me back with a resolution. I also suggested during the call that maybe they could just send us the part since we had an error code indicating that the problem was with the control board. I was told they could not do that until THEY determined what the issue was. Needless to say no one called me back.
I have tried to contact the number on the certificate several times since and finally reached someone today. That individual said I did not have the Platinum Star warranty coverage any longer as my warranty expired last year (2020). My certificate clearly states the effective date was 10/08/2018 through 10/09/2021 which I explained and was abruptly told that it must be through someone else. Again the contact number on the certificate is the number I called and have been calling. In addition, the individual argued that I hadn't called until 09/23/2021 so there was nothing they could do.
The funny thing is I have been trying the same contact number almost daily since no one was calling me back and was constantly directed to an extension with a message that stated that they were too busy with other customers to take my call and that I should feel free to call back some other time. The line then proceeded to disconnect with no option to request a call back or leave a message. So, this was the first day since the my initial call that I was actually able to talk with someone (after being on hold for 45 minutes of course). Bottom line is that it is not worth the price you pay for an Electrolux dryer. Based on my experience they don't last more than three years and the ability to get it serviced is nonexistent. My only recourse (for the second time) was to buy another washer and dryer set and trust me it isn't an Electrolux.

Four-year-old Electrolux washer (LuxCare Wash and Smart Boost) and dryer were in a house I purchased. My 10+ year old appliances in the previous house did a better job and had more choice in the controls. The washer doesn't allow me to decide which spin and soil settings I want with cold water, for instance. The dryer never cools off during the last few minutes; clothes come out warm and damp. Low heat might as well be no heat--I have quite a few things that are supposed to be dried on low but take hours in this machine. Again, my choices are dictated by what's already programmed in. I look forward to the day when I can buy new appliances and would never recommend this brand to anyone.

We purchased this washer/dryer stacking set in 2018. The rubber seal on the door of this front loading washer is now filler with mold. The seal is designed so water gets trapped in the folds of the rubber seal. The interior of the seal is difficult access or clean. We were not aware at the time of purchase that Electrolux has a history of producing washers with this problem and that they have consistently refused to offer repairs or rebates. (Google Electrolux + mold.)

We have the Electrolux ELFW4222AW washer, it is 8 months old, it displayed 2 different codes, 1 code the instructions in the manual are to call for service, the other code was for not draining and we corrected this ourselves by cleaning the pump filter, the other code relates to flooding and requires a service call. You can phone the 800 # but you can't get through to a person, so we emailed twice and auto reply states someone will get to you in 3 business days. No contact after 8 days, needless to say this will be my last Electrolux/Frigidaire appliance.

The electronic components were defective and the dryer didn't work after 18 months. They sent service people out 4 times, none of whom could fix the problem. When you call them, their customer service people keep transferring you to someone else. Nobody you talk to has the least interest in solving your problem, only getting rid of you. Their protocols don't permit you to ever talk to a supervisor. We have been without a dryer for over a month. We have given up and will replace the dryer.

We purchased top/bottom high end Electrolux washer and dryer, sold as no-shake good for second floor use. From the beginning, the spin cycle shook the house. The washer required 2 repair visits in the first year. But the real problem was year 2 when the dryer steam valve failed and water poured out overnight. By the morning, the brand new second floor flooring where it was installed was ruined, the kitchen ceiling underneath had partially collapsed and the kitchen floor was ruined. There was $35,000 of damage because we had just finished renovating the kitchen the year before. We called Electrolux which is impossible to reach. We had 40-50 minute online waits, promises by them to call back, and then nothing. I would never again buy Electrolux products.

I have had my Electrolux washer and dryer for approximately 5 years now. About a year later, I had to have my first repair when the lint trap filled up and there is no way to clean it out without tearing the washer apart because there is no exterior access panel. Don't ever buy a washer without an exterior access panel to the lint trap. It cost me $300 to have someone come out and tear the washer apart just to clean the lint trap. At about 3 years old, my display unit shorted out, and every now and then it will display something and then go out again. If I bang on the display, it flickers, so I know it is just shorted out. I didn't have the money to get that fixed and the washer still worked so I just used it the way it was, but I could not get to any of the specialty functions and that is where the function to clean my washer is.
Now I am at 5 years and the lint trap is plugged again. I spent an entire day trying to get the water out of my washing machine and had to finish my load of wet clothes at the laundromat. I get home with my wet clothes and put them in the dryer and it turns for about 1 minute and then starts buzzing and shuts off. I try to turn it on again and just get the motor buzzing. I tried to manually turn the drum and was not able to budge it. I heard a clunk, so I am assuming that the belt snapped, at least I hope that is all it is. So back to the laundromat, to dry my clothes and I live 22 miles from the nearest laundromat. I am not even doing laundry for a family, it is just me and I only wash a few loads per month, averaging 1 load per week, maybe. My first repair cost $300, so I am assuming with both the washer and dryer both needing repair at the same time and 3 things that need to be fixed that this repair will be about $700 at a minimum.
Four repairs needed in a 5 year period with 2 of them being the same repair is just unacceptable. I had a Maytag washer and dryer for 21 years and during that time, the washer only needed repair once and the dryer never needed repair and I had 2 kids and a husband then and did about 10 loads of laundry a week. The lint trap on that machine never plugged up. Those machines were metal enamel instead of painted plastic that scratches easily anytime you put something on them. I purchased Electrolux because Maytag did not have a front load washer for sale at the time. Electrolux was a name that I grew up with. They made quality vacuum cleaners that we had in our home forever. When I saw the name Electrolux when I was searching for a washer and dryer, their name went to the top of my list because I associated the name with quality, but this washer and dryer set is just junk; I would never buy it again.
They clean and dry my clothes well, when they work, but they are not reliable. Four costly repairs within a 5 year period is just not reliable in my eyes. I paid $2400 for my set and now these repairs, are going to take me to over $1000 in repairs and that just is a not quality product as far as I am concerned. They used their well-known brand name to put our cheap inferior products that they sell at a premium because of their name. Because of that, Electrolux is a brand name that I will stay away from in the future.

Manufacturing defect - NOT corrected. DO NOT BUY. I bought this dryer, with its sister washer, at Lowe's in New Westminster in mid-March. Within ten days (and fewer than ten loads), the dryer started to make a clicking/knocking noise. I checked Electrolux online, and they stated that it may be a clogged blower - that is, lint has gone through to the blower and is causing it to malfunction. I had installed a new vent system for it (direct solid steel, not a coil vent which you are advised to not use), and the outgoing air only travels two feet to the exhaust; thus it was not an improper exhaust problem.
I called Lowes, because I had also purchased a four year warranty extension, but they said I had to call Electrolux and that Lowes only covers it after the manufacturer warranty expires; fair enough. I called Electrolux, eleven days after purchase; they said they would call back with a referral to a warranty service provider (WSP). Nearly two weeks later, they called, and said the WSP would call to set an appointment; one week later, the WSP called, and set an appointment for two more weeks later.
Thus, the service technician came yesterday, April 28 - now 45 days after purchase. He immediately confirmed that the problem is lint in the blower, and advised that he gets repair calls for this issue for Electrolux dryers six times per week. He said the dryer is faulty, with no permanent solution, and that I will need to have the blower cleaned every few months for its lifetime. He said that I should take it back and get a different make. Too late now, of course, because it took Electrolux a full 34 days to get a technician to me, and I cannot return the dryer to Lowes.

I am beyond angry! I purchased an Electrolux washer dryer stacked system April 20th last year. July 2nd, the dryer quit spinning. Direct Appliance (where I purchased them) was called, they came out July 6th. It was determined that they clothes were getting stuck between the long fin (bad design and the front of the dryer). They determined they needed to replace the fin, belt and back panel (due to it being burnt). They could not get parts until I called Electrolux and explained. Electrolux shipped me the parts, and Direct Appliance fixed the dryer on July 21st 2020.
Down 3 weeks. Nov 8th 2020 dryer quit spinning again, called service tech came out Nov 19th, ordered parts. 12-8-2020 came out finally replaced belt AND IDLER PULLEYS. Down 1 Month. March 8, 2021, dryer quit spinning once again, called service tech. Came out March 9th, unable to confirm (the belt had cooled and it turned, but made a thumping sound). March 17th called again, because it stopped spinning. March 18th tech came out and found a broken belt. Ordered parts. I called Electrolux to begin a LEMON replacement - as a new dryer should not break 3 times in the first year. I do not want to be stuck paying to have it fixed as the 1 year warranty will be up soon.
Electrolux said they wanted their tech to evaluate it. They had one to come out a week later - turns out same day as Direct Appliance had parts and tech here to repair once again. While I was on the phone w Electrolux, they put me on hold and told Direct Appliance they had to stop fixing my dryer!!!! (They literally had the belt in hand!) While they could determine if they would replace it or not. So they made Direct Appliance leave, before finishing the dryer. They said they would determine whether it would be replaced or not by April 1st 2021.
April 1 comes, and I get 1 email asking how Electrolux did on their call. Not a word about whether they were fixing/replacing or anything. It was Easter Weekend - so I did not call. Today I call, and find that Electrolux determined not to replace, they want to repair. BUT now they had to order parts!!! I am so angry - this has been horrid. I have had no dryer for almost 3 months after purchasing a brand new supposedly "QUALITY" system from Electrolux. Down so far almost 1 month - with no end in sight!

Purchased the washing machine new in 2015. Began making a loud banging noise recently during the spin cycle. It almost appeared to be out of balance. We took the machine apart and thought the problem might be with worn shock absorbers so we replaced them at a cost of $184 (not counting our labor). Put it back together and that did not solve the problem. Explored deeper and found that the cast metal spider support for the drum had a cracked arm. The parts would cost about $400 so we decided to buy a new Maytag and scrap the Electrolux. It was only 5 years - 8 months old.

So after having to refuse 4 of these malfunctioning dryers and forced to keep the matching washer we are extremely disappointed in Electrolux. The first dryer never powered on, so we paid an electrician to come out and check the power outlet which turned out to be fine. We also had the power company come and check the incoming line to the house which we were told was very good. The second dryer came a week later and had an error code when delivery guys turned it on and it couldn’t be cleared. We sent the second dryer back. At this point we had our doubts and wanted to return the washer, but it had been more than 48 hours and we were told it would not be possible. The third dryer showed up a week afterwards and it also had an error code so we sent it back.
We were told while on the line with our Big Box home improvement store and Electrolux that because of all of our troubles that on the 4th dryer we would have "White Glove" delivery and the 4th dryer would be tested before it was put on the truck. So here comes the 4th dryer for delivery still in the box and the delivery guys laughed and said, "They told you that it would be tested?!" When the box was opened the 4th dryer had a large dent in it and the exterior of the box was not dented, so the dryer was boxed with the dent on it so it was not a delivery problem. So much for having a nice washer and matching dryer.
Now we are stuck with a washer that will never have a matching dryer as we had wished. My laundry room will look terrible with an unmatched set of washer and dryer, because as of now we are cutting our losses. Also, you can pretty much forget getting through to customer service, as well. Believe me I tried. For a high priced dryer, it is really insulting to be treated in such a manner by Electrolux and our national branded Big Box home improvement store.

I moved into my new home and so I bought a new Electrolux washer and dryer, giving away my 30-year old trusty washer and dryer that I think cost me around $150 30 years ago and has never had a problem.. Oh I guess the Heating element went out in my dryer at some point down the line and that's it. I've discovered that things are not made well these days and Electrolux makes that a true statement.. After five years of owning my electrolux the main circuit board went out. The washer had never been moved from the spot where they first installed it and I probably only do one load of laundry every 3 days. The technician had me call to see if they would give me a break and they said that they would give me 50% off on the part and that's it.
The technician said sometimes they pay for the whole thing but I guess that's just for certain people.. They didn't seem to think that that was the out of the norm for the main computer element in the washing machine to go bad after 5 years.... so to replace that part on my Electrolux washer is going to cost me $450. I could have got $70 off if I ordered the part from them however the technician had already ordered it so I guess there's nothing more to be done. During the pandemic people are are being a little bit nicer and since we don't really have the money to fix it right now I don't know what I'm going to do..
Anyway this day in age we have so much garbage in the world and they're still allowing people to make products that are just junk and it's just really bothering me so I thought I would write a review. How are we ever going to try to keep these kind of things out of the landfills if they keep letting people produce such terrible products. What are we going to do with all the garbage! It should be a law that things have to be compatible to one another and that things have to be made well and not these cheap pieces of junk that only Last 5 Years! Something like this should last me 20 years I would think. I'm just so overwhelmed by this I can't even get over it.
Anyway I thought I'd write this to encourage people to really do their homework and to suggest buying the best product you can, that's made well because we can't keep supporting these manufacturers that make this crap and filling up our landfills, so please do your homework and find the most well-made product you can find! That's all we can do is support the people that really make a good product and stop wasting our money and filling up the landfills with this garbage. Have a nice day..
One more thing, I don't know how many people know this but an RV trailer is not allowed in most campgrounds if it's over 10 years old no matter what it looks like. I just thought I would throw that in there so that means that after 10 years you have to throw away an entire RV just to be able to camp, is that not the saddest thing you've ever heard.. We don't have room for all the people on the planet let alone all their garbage. To me that sounds like that is encouraging these manufacturers, these companies, to make things that only last a short time, do you feel me? Thanks for reading.

I purchased my Electrolux Washing Machine (model EFLS627-UTT) in April 2019 and subsequently started noticing bleach stains on some of my items. I initially thought I had accidentally put a colored item in with the bleach load so chalked it up to my mistake. Then it happened again and again and I was being VERY careful that all items were white when I used bleach. So in July 2020 I called the store where I purchased the machine. They came out and as I suspected said they couldn't find anything but they suggested that after I do a bleach load to take the drawer out where the bleach goes and rinse it out. Additionally, if I want to be super careful they said I could do a load afterwards with rags or something that I don't care about. On top of this I could do a 15 fast wash or spin cycle.
Since I was so tired of having ruined items I did ALL of the above and yet I was still having items with bleach spots 5, 10 or more loads after the bleach load. For some reason the bleach that remains loves towels the most and second after that is sheets so I have many of each with bleach spots. Many brand new towels and sheets that were washed for the first time so you can imagine my frustration.
Next I called Electrolux and they sent someone out in 8/20 who told me, "There is nothing wrong with your machine." In 10/20 with the problem persisting I called Electrolux again and I had to pay I believe it was $150 only to be told no fault found again. Called Electrolux in 11/20 and asked to speak to a supervisor. I was put on with a supervisor who told me "Sorry we can't do anything because what your describing can't happen" but yet it is happening.... Mind you I didn't do a lot of bleach loads (only about one every 6 weeks). In the end I had to stop using bleach all together and now that I've done that no more issues. Other than this one very frustrating issue the washer works great. I had no motivation to lie about this and I wasn't asking Electrolux to refund my money and my machine is perfect cosmetically but I did want them to swap out my machine for another one and pay for my ruined items.

I had a tech come out last year and after spending another $300 was told the machine was level and operating as it should - he said it was normal that it jumped around and was loud.
My dryer door was also rattling and he said it was a common problem with these machines and ended up fixing it with a BandAid - no, I'm not kidding. Now I just had the latch break on the pedestal drawer, probably due to the constant vibration from the machine. My floor is strong and level, my Whirlpool washer never did these things.

Didn't buy on Amazon, wish I did then I could see the 1 star reviews, called Sears. Sent out someone to repair under warranty. They said they could not. It was stacked... By the way the dryer sucks too but the washer is so much worse. Third person that came out replaced all of the dispenser thingy in March. One month of use and it failed again. Okay so my 800 washer doesn't dispenser the softener. Irritating but livable. Then slowly the soap dispenser quit emptying all the way.
Door locked itself shut in June. Called sears, out of the 90 day warranty referred us back to Electrolux. Sent email and called, again, they wouldn't work on the lemon washer cause it's stacked. Being disabled I can't unstack.... kinda gave up. Thee unit decided to unlock about a week later. So we thought it was ok. Then end of July it quit dispensing soap again. I saw a YouTube where someone washed the whole diaphragm in dishwasher. That seemed to do trick. Until beginning of August. Locked door again.... On its own. Didn't ever open. Called and got my 3rd or 4th service visit. This guy unstacked it. Called the Electrolux tech line. Read them my multiple error codes he got to in some type of diagnostic mode. They said it needed a new motor and motherboard. Gave him the part numbers....
Weeks pass by. Finally the backordered parts ( never a good sign ) arrive. He installs. Same thing. Locked, won't open, won't spin, dead in the water. Electrolux gave the wrong part numbers! Not one, but both were wrong. Lucky me the real part numbers are on backorder. Several more weeks pass. Get a call from the servicing place. Can't get motor 4-6 weeks. I call Electrolux, which is a one hour even everytime. They said maybe they can replace it. Why I would want a washer that can only work for a few weeks at a time I am not sure. But.... Since this one is a lemon we try that. Denied. It's a fixable unit. They send another service call out. God bless this guy he's been here 4 or 5 times. No parts get sent to him so no fix. Fast forward several more one hour calls to electrosux. No solution. No compassion. Nobody cares. I've had it running for 8.5 months. It has had limited or no function for more than half that time.
Nobody at Frigidaire/Electrolux cares that I have to go into a covid filled laundromat and have spent as much as I have on the purchase doing laundry with my brand spanking new washer out of service.

I recently purchased a washer dryer. The dryer never worked properly-- saying it needed the lint removed even if it had just been cleaned and was empty. When I finally called (the pandemic had me a bit tied up), I was told it was out of warranty so I bought a two-year service contract and it's been nothing but misery! No one can fix the problem so the dryer times out after a few minutes. You've got to pull out the lint trap and try again. It runs for a few more minutes and then starts beeping. Oh, if you don't hear the beep and leave it there for a while your clothes then stink! The first service company said they couldn't help.
The second company said the mother board had to be replaced, they'd order one and schedule another call. That was back in early July. It took me weeks to get them to schedule an appointment to install it (kept saying the part hadn't come in). The board was replaced and the tech said that if it didn't work then there was nothing more they could do. Guess what??? It didn't work! Adding to my frustration. You have to call Electrolux to get an approval before you can schedule another visit.
That takes at least a half hour just to get through. (BTW, the recording even tells you to call back at another time... really?) Then they couldn't find another appointment for at least 2 weeks. They also keep sending another company so I have to explain the whole thing each time to someone new. Honestly I'd love you to take back this awful dry but I'd be happy with just a REFUND for the service contract so I can go back to my repair company and not have this hassle and aggravation.

It cleans my clothes very well and I like the way that the soap, etc, gets mixed before it goes into the tub. Like every other front loader I have tried, there are times with a very small load where it doesn't drain well, but we don't do those as a rule, so it's not been a big problem.

We purchased an Electrolux large capacity washer and dryer. These machines as per sales are the top of the line for size and quality. All this means is they were expensive. The day the washer and dryer arrived the delivery company trialed the washer. They removed the washer on delivery day as the washer was not working. Several weeks later (we are a family of six without a washer) a new washer arrived. The machine is just over a year old and we have had it fixed a multiple times. Each time it was a different problem and we had two different companies come and repair the machine. I was without a washer for 2 months during Covid and I am a front line work, who finally had to go and purchase an used washer until the machine could be fixed as all Laundromats were closed. As of right now I am still waiting for my washer to be fixed. I do not recommend buying Electrolux products.

I cannot believe what I have had happen with Electrolux. Apparently common courtesy and customer consideration have become relics of the past to Electrolux. I bought an Electrolux dryer, Model #?EFME617?STT0, in September of 2017 and the motor burned out on it this weekend, barely 2-1/2 years old. I contacted Electrolux to see what they could do about it and was met with some of the rudest, most condescending customer service I have ever come across. The customer service agent, "Bethany", refused to even allow me to speak to anyone else!
I spent well over $1000.00 for this dryer and would expect it to be made well and last much longer than this. I also expect a company to treat its customers in a professional manner and not basically tell me too bad, so sad! I put a call into corporate headquarters in an attempt to see if this is Electrolux's prevailing attitude and, of course, was given voice mail. At this point, I do not expect to receive any response to my call. If I do, I will certainly update this post. But all I can say right now is if you are buying an appliance built to last and are looking for professional, caring customer service, Electrolux is NOT the company for you!!

Electrolux products AND customer service deserve ZERO stars. The WORST product I've purchased. I bought a stackable Electrolux washer and dryer set February 15, 2020. 2 days later the dryer started buzzing, clean lint filter. Only thing, lint filter was completely empty. By the morning of day 3, Home Depot informed me that there was a 2 day return policy. I had to call Electrolux/ Frigidaire. They have replaced parts three times and I feel like I bought a janky bootleg dryer. I called the customer service and they want to replace the parts again. Even though this dryer is clearly defective, Electrolux is doing nothing to remedy the problem and is not taking any responsibility for a defective and useless LEMON that they have sold us. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM ELECTROLUX. The worst appliance purchase yet.

Experience with a 2019 model Electrolux front load washer has been very positive. It is relatively quiet, much quieter than the top load it replaced. It also provides a door that can be switched from conventional orientation of opening to the left to open on the right. Clothes are cleaner than with the top load washer it replaced and water consumption is a fraction of what it was. And the spin cycles seem to always be very well balanced without manual intervention. So far it hasn’t had any reliability issues and were I to buy a new machine, I would look to Electrolux first.

The Electrolux stackable washer/dryer is energy efficient and water efficient to save you money. I live above someone so an important feature was that it is also quiet. It is front loading, so there is a lot of room to do everything from a comforter to towels to dog blankets. My laundry room doesn’t vent to the outside, so it can get heated in the little closet. The Electrolux has an auto-shut off so it doesn’t overheat on you. I can’t complain in the two years I have had it.

Updated on 04/11/2020: In an earlier review, I mistakenly said that the problems began in March 2019 and should have said March 2020. The machine was less than 2 years old so it was beyond the 1 year warranty and we did not purchase an extended warranty.
Original review: We purchased an Electrolux front loader washing machine in May 2018 on the recommendation of the appliance shop salesman (great, local shop - we trust them). In March 2019, the bearing assembly failed and it sounded like an airplane was taking off in our basement. Called a repair service who said it would cost $650-$700 to repair (after a $135 fee to look at it), which is about what it cost new. Called Electrolux who said they would cover the part but not the labor (guess where the major expense is).
Only after writing a negative review on their website did they belatedly reach out to me to offer help towards paying for the repair - but we had already bought a new machine. Email responses were slow and felt like they were robot generated. Phone calls were extremely frustrating. Don't buy an Electrolux - if their machines won't last 2 years and their customer response is dismal at best, look elsewhere. We replaced it with a Speed Queen, which comes with a 7 year warranty and is made in Wisconsin.

Excellent Performance since Sept 2016. I love my Electrolux washer and dryer. They had a slight learning curve for me as they are my first digital and front load. They fit beautifully in my closet side by side but I believe they are stackable too. I have never had an issue and my clothes are treated gently by these machines. Google sent me here when I asked about getting a warranty since they are almost 4 years old. When I read some of the negative reviews I had to speak up. I guess only people with issues want to vent. If there isn’t a problem we don’t need to complain.

We purchased an Electrolux front load washer & dryer a little over a year ago after being sold on the fact that the quality is top of of the line... It is 18 mos old and we had water all over our floor one morning and it had filled up with water. The door was locked and we could smell something burning. When we tried to open the door, there were lights blinking and it it shut down/wouldn't turn on/off. We unplugged it and called Warners' Stellian where we purchased.
We have had THREE service calls on it under the extra warranty we purchased and they still cannot get it to work. We have three little kids, both work full time, and are going on over a month without a washing machine... Our $1300 washer is sitting dead in the laundry room waiting for more parts to arrive. Warners' Stellian told us to call Electrolux direct to explain the situation and Electrolux told us Warners' Stellian needs to recommend a new machine.
Warners' Stellian says they are 'waiting to hear' on an approval for a new machine, but meanwhile Electrolux said they have more parts sent for them to try to fix it again and refused to get on the phone with us and Warners' Stellian to all get the same message at once. The customer service person was rude at Electrolux and offered no apology. Don't waste your time or money buying an overpriced, crappy quality brand that doesn't stand behind their product. Will NEVER purchase anything Electrolux again and am equally as frustrated with Warners' Stellian and the mixed messages and lack of urgency.

So happy that I stumbled upon this site. I purchased an Electrolux Front load washer (627) in Oct, 2018, after doing my research and checking reviews. On Feb 8th, 2020, I washed a small load and the washer would spin, but not enough to expel water from my clothes. I reset and it worked fine. The next load worked ok, then I put in another load. Well, all of a sudd3n there was a banging noise coming out of the machine. I immediately stopped the machine and called Electrolux. A technician was scheduled for 5 days later. This was on Feb 12th. Parts were under warranty, but the service call would cost me $300.00.
Person on the line said that if I purchased a new extended warranty that the service charge would be waived, so I spent $289.00 on a new warranty. On 2-19-20, the service technician showed up and did his analyzing.. said the circuit board and the motor board were bad, so he ordered the parts. He started up the machine and it started violently shaking and was dancing around the laundry room. Once it was powered off, the front gasket was mangled and the floor was flooded. He ordered the gasket, said that he would be back in a week and darted out the door. The parts arrived at our house and the technician arrived the following week, 2-26-20.
We showed him where one of the springs was not attached, a broken part where the spring was to attach, along with various pieces of plastic which we found on the floor. He attached all of the parts, turned on the machine and viola, Water poured out from under the machine. He looked underneath the washer and said the boot had a hole in it. Another week, another part. Service scheduled for 3-4-20. Tech arrived, while attempting to attach the boot, he discovered the pump was destroyed. It was cracked and had missing parts. Same story, another week, another part. So, service is now scheduled for 3-12-20. I had contacted Electrolux after each of the technician’s visits and updated them, each time requesting a new washer, with the same response, we can’t do that. So, here I wait...another trip to the laundromat. I will never again purchase another Electrolux washing machine or any of their products.

Rubber gaskets leaking at the solenoid and the company won’t sell the $3 part. Only wants to sell the whole housing with four solenoids and a bunch of other plastic components for $151.00. Also a similar situation with the main bearing. They won’t sell the main seal and bearing. They insist on selling the entire drum for $350.00. Other manufacturers sell these parts separately. But the worst thing I discovered is when I removed the gasket it had a part number stamped on it and is made by another appliance company and is available from the competition!

But, the real kicker is that the dryer is attached and a replacement washer will not line up so we are now looking at a washer and dryer costing more than 2,000.00. A call to Electrolux and they are willing to discount the parts by 20%.

Just called the service tech for the third time in three years. This dryer just limps along. It is better than hang drying your laundry but I know you can do better. Avoid this machine unless you are getting it for free. From what I understand the main flaw is the lint trap. The lint trap does not trap the lint. It builds up in the drum somewhere. Overtime the noise becomes deafening. The tech was just here last Thursday, he recommended buying an air compressor to force the lint through periodically.
This morning less than 1 week later the dryer was giving off the faint odor of burnt rubber, it started to make a thumping noise, like a shoe was in there, culminating in the barrel no longer turning while the machine is on and producing heated air. It is a holiday tomorrow, Thanksgiving, so maybe we will be able to dry laundry in our house again in a week or two? (It took a week to get the tech out here the last time.)Oh well, do not make our mistake. Find a more reliable machine!!

If a problem occurs they are of no use. The last occurrence is the pump going out leaving a washer full of water and clothes. 4 days to get an Electrolux repair person out who can't fix the washer nor can he get the door opened to at least drain it.

After 10 days and not hearing from anyone I called both Electrolux and the repair folks for an update, came out but in the control board - still no hot or warm water.
Long story short - they have been out now 6 times - still no hot water or warm water but now Electrolux has taken the stance that the machine doesn't really have hot or warm water it's more like lukewarm water (WHAT???). The machine worked exactly like the manual said for 2 months and now I'm being told that there is no hot or warm water because that is the way the designed it... REALLY? Then why is there a "hot" and "warm" water temperature selection. We spent a lot of money on a machine that the company flat does not stand behind or is willing to repair under warranty. And when I did a review of the machine - Electrolux moderated my review and wouldn't let it be posted because they said it drove business away and asked to revise.
