Extremely bad refrigerator

In my review I am not concentrating on trivial issues like really sharp shelves edges that cut your hands all the time and drawers that are not easily removable without special tools and training (per Use and Care Guide, removing drawers for washing requires wearing safety glasses and using screwdriver).
I have Model EI26SS30JS for almost 2 years. Refrigerator came with the wrong (too short) tube that connects ice maker with the water supply. Due to that, water went to the freezer instead of the ice maker creating frozen waterfall in the freezer.
Since we purchased the refrigerator, I have been dealing with the same problem over and over again: freezer temperature on the front digital panel suddenly begins to drop reaching -19 degrees. We have gone thru many repairs. Main controller was replaced three times, front panel with associated controller with thermistors were changed several times, and wiring was replaced. As of today, the issue remains unresolved. In addition, I am facing new problems like water dripping from the ice dispenser.
E- an "Excellent" choice in the sea of brands on the market. A- all controls "Applicable" for our lifestyle. S- awful "Sassy" looking in our kitchen. Y- because its an "Electrolux." ....Thank you for a superior product....Reward Yourself, It's THAT "EASY"
the stainless is so thin that just pushing it into place left dents where it was touched. The sides are no longer stainless, the previous model this replaced had stainless sides. The contractor left knee prints on the door and he was extremely careful (having done this many times with many different refrigerators.) what's up with that ?? If I had little children I'd be in a lot of trouble with dents. I can't believe this finish is so cheap and shoddy.( contractor had knee pads on at the time ) Also, no leveling adjustments on the back legs
Had nothing but trouble from my Electrolux refrigerator. When it was delivered it would not turn on. Had to replace the computer board. The shevels started to turn loose and fall down. Come to find out from Electrolux's service representive that the refrigerator was warped. This refrigerator should have never left the factory. Poor quaility control. New refrigerator arivied with broken freezer door. Had to have it replaced. Again poor quaility control. The new refrigerator makes a lot of noise but it works.
I bought this unit thinking I was going to be the envy of my circle of friends. Sadly I became the source of many jokes as I had so many problems I was ready to roll this thing into the nearest dumpster. The ice maker never worked properly and the push-paddle to get dispenser started broke 3 times. After 3 years I decided it was time to correct my error. I went to the store where I bought this refrigerator and after they read all the negative reviews were so kind as to credit my original purchase price toward another brand. I will never even think of purchasing Electrolux again as friends have had issues with other appliances as well.
This refrigerator has been marketed as reliable and higher-end refrigerator with best in the industry engineering, streak resistance stainless steel and various customer needed options. Within few months this refrigerator started to have problems: drain pipe clogged causing water leakage on bamboo hardwood flooring, doors not closing completely causing ice build up in the freezer. Also, cleaning this refrigerator is a nightmare; drawers don't come out easily and keeping outside stainless steel streaks free is a challenge.
