Westinghouse 425L Bottom Mount WBE4302AC (Silver)

Purchased a month ago. This fridge makes a low hum constantly, but it is not annoying unless you are easily agitated. Seems to work well otherwise with regards to interior lighting and temperature consistency. An issue is that the top mount door needs to be manually closed on occassion because it doesn't like to self close unless from a fully open… Read more

postion (we don't like it slamming shut all the time as it is heavy enough that it tends to pop open the freezer door momentarliy (which is stated as normal in the intruction manual)). Freezer compartment is well designed. Controls are straightfoward and you don't need any online or AI gimmicks to get it working as per your own preferences (which are basic). Is OK on power as we have not seen any power spikes after changeover from previous fridge.

sadly bought this Westinghouse WBE 4302AC, from JB HiFi on the 7th of June 2025. Called Electrolux about the noise after the first week and cancelled visit as tech' friend said they might take a while to "bed in". Motor is going 90% of the time!!! Since then I have had Elecrtrolux out twice and they say for this fridge to run 90% of the time is… Read more

normal. It is a drinks/ spare fridge and is hardly ever opened, yet we have an 8 year old Westinghouse we use as our main fridge and it runs for twenty minutes and is off for an hour and a half. This new fridge runs for 2 hours and is off for only twenty minutes, - door unopened!!!!!!!!! If you have one of these fridges in an open plan/ kitchen area it will drive you batty. still fighting with Electrolux to return it.

Very noisy after 6hrs of powering on – I bought he fridge on 2/12/24 and was delivered yesterday. The fridge is very noisy. The noise stops when I open the fridge door. By noisy I mean it is beyond the acceptable level. I can hear the noise from my study room at the other end of the house. Very annoying in the kitchen and lounge area where the fridge is setup. It's less than 24 hrs… Read more

and I can't take the noise anymore. Will give 24hrs and then go to Bing Lee to report the issue. My previous fridge was Westinghouse too and did a great job over 24 years. Was still working but though of getting a new Westinghouse and repenting for the decision.

Good design and well lit – Early days but a very quiet unit, bright, well lit interior. Same size as previous fridge but appears much more internal space. Very happy with bottom mount freezer which has reduced bending for fridge use. No problems to date. November.... Four months on no problems, still love it. Show details

Very loud fridge – Purchased this fridge after our Samsung fridge died after 8 years. This fridge is extremely loud and the motor runs 90% of the time. The noise is very annoying almost like a family of crickets live behind our fridge. Complained and had a technician out only to be told it's normal, and that new fridges run louder due to a different type of gas used? I purchased this because I thought Westinghouse was a reputable brand but I guess not. Show details

Nice fridge but teething issues and a clunky drawer – The first one we had delivered had been damaged in transit. It was incredibly loud from the moment we turned it on. Once we opened it up the interior of the fridge was cracked and indented in multiple places and the shelving was all out of place as if it had been knocked over or someone just threw the shelving in and forced the door shut. The good… Read more

guys instead of offering a replacement said they would just replace the door only. Thankfully Electrolux were onto it and told us to ask the good guys for a replacement and the second person I spoke to at the good guys was fantastic, organised the replacement and upgraded us to their gold service membership which has a range of bonuses.

The new fridge has been good. Ours is so quiet to run, maintains a consistent temperature which is simple to adjust and monitor as the panel is easily accessible at the side of the interior instead of at the back. It’s easy to open and close, has a great seal, it’s the perfect size for our family of 4. It’s been easy to clean and keep organised and looks nice and sleek in the kitchen. The ice maker is great with nice sized ice cubes, easy to use and it seems to freeze the water really quickly.

My only issue is the bottom freezer drawer seems to be a little bit too small and it falls off the track every time we touch it. It’s really annoying as we use this drawer a lot and it’s quite tricky to get it back on the tracks as you can’t quite see what you’re doing unless you lie on the floor. If we’d known about this issue I would have opted for a different model as my parents have an older Westinghouse bottom mount and their freezer drawers work flawlessly compared to ours. It’s quite frustrating when you just want to quickly grab something out and it turns into 5 minutes trying to fix the drawer again. I’ve given 4 stars as if it weren’t for the drawer I’d have no complaints at all!
