My First and Last Westinghouse. I have used front loading washing machines since 1973 (obviously, I must have bought better brands these last 52 years) but have never had one as infuriating as The Westinghouse Easy Care 300. I never thought to look to see that it only takes in cold water. Who would have even thought of that? We have solar hot… Read more

water but now have to pay to heat water if desired. The length of times of some of the cycles are st>pid long including rinsing with a spin dry. The only redeeming feature is the 15 minute wash that I put my bath mats in as our little dog pees on them. However the worst feature is the unpredictable, temperamental on off place. Sorry, I wrote button but it is just a marking on the front. Nothing, but nothing helps to start this useless machine. I cannot wait for the day I get rid of it but rest assured Westinghouse will not be on my shopping list. Half a star and that is for the 15 min wash.

The washing machine was 3 years old and broke down, and the repair would have been $400. I was not offered a replacement, and had to buy a new machine from a different company, which the Good Guys sold to me for $400. I am a single household, and the washing was limited to once a week. Very poor result! Show details

Reluctantly had to purchase a front loader. So far not happy about my clothes and especially work towels being hard when dried, I have never had this happen. I have tried half the detergent then adding vinegar but that even failed. The clothes are wetter when finished too Show details

 Follow-up  · I have stopped using fabric softener as makes no difference. I have no choice but to put them in the dryer either straight away or after taking them off the line. I will have to get rid of this when I'm a bit more financial to buy a better one . Most disappointed

DO NOT BUY!!!!!!! Unfortunately I bought this product on brand name reputation. I will not make this mistake again. I live in FNQ with lots of humidity. The control panel does not respond to touch, even when wiped dry. The machine is impossible to change any of the settings on as the control panel does not respond. It is bad enough that takes… Read more

numerous attempts to actually start the load. The response from the company to send a service technician out is laughable, as the fault with the control panel has not been rectified on their side, so the fault will continue to occur.

Control panel issues, not starting – I would like to reflect comments by others, control panel very frustrating, requires many attempts to start testing my patience at times, I a single person to limited use. I also am disappointed that cold wash is unavailable on most cycles in particular 39 min fast wash. It’s not first Westinghouse washer though atm it will be my last,, n to fair apart from above issues I’m happy with wash results Show details

Simply Solution solution spelt out in Review – WWF752N3W = Absolute lemon of a machine. Further to review written by Jan, the replacement machine will be actually $135 dearer than purchase price of the lemon, as the reseller will not deliver replacement machine.. I find this poor customer service on many levels. It is clear to me now that reseller would of know the product issues but still… Read more

sold the product with little regard for our elderly mother. If the reseller didn't know of issues with machine, I'm a monkeys uncle. Only have to look at reviews on here. I can't imagine how many how many more consumers had a terrible experience with this lemon of a machine. Reseller is only winner as they get their purchase price credited for the lemon sold. All rose for reseller don't you think.. Westinghouse are quite aware of issues with the mach and clearly are offloading with little remorse for the consumer, which to me is total unexceptionable. Withdraw the model from market and stop the terrible reviews. Consumer vote with experiences which is obviously linked to wallets/purses and from reviews read on this model many will never considering Westinghouse products in their purchasing decisions again.. A $135 reimbursement for the cost of the freight to my mother would be a great start for Westinghouse. It will be a gesture of goodwill and while showing at there is some Australian I've got your back left in the company. Aussies companies should look after Aussies consumers and vice versa wouldn't you agree. Westinghouse to reimburse the freight cost, this shows empathy for what was a totally bad consumer experience, not helped by the reseller not delivery the replacement machine for Westinghouse. The cost of the freight is the fault of the machine model and no fault of my mother. The small amount of $135 to you Westinghouse would be a small win for you in this situation. The reseller is going to be credited for machine, they are not losing out, so why should my mother. Looking forward to response.

Great Machine – I've had this machine since September 2023 and have found it brilliant! No tears, no soap residue; occasionally throw in some Sards whitener with my cotton sheets and brilliant white! Have only ever used 39min or 15min cycles, using laundry bag for bras and delicate items. The only thing I find is occasionally I have to push the machine back… Read more

into place a little but I've found over the years that all front loaders travel a little with spinning. I bought a small cupboard to sit it on which is perfect for dirty laundry and also is a "back saver".

Disapointed – WWF752N3WA Aged parent purchased machine 31/01/2025, within 12 days having problems. Chose a 15 minute wash, the timer got to 3 minutes and just stayed on 3 minutes, turned machine off, clothes had not spun out, water had drained, followed all problem solving suggestions, this did not correct the issue. We started from the beginning of the cycle… Read more

again, same issue happened.. The store where we purchased the machine have offered to replace machine(thankyou) with a different brand, same price more features

Do not buy this machine – Purchased March/April 2022 to replace flood affected machine. As all other reviews state, touch sensor in start button started only intermittently working within the first year. Now almost 3 years on it is time to replace as the start button will not work. Such a senseless waste as the rest of the machine functions as it should. Really bad design… Read more

floor, or as another reviewer wrote,, really good planned obsolescence !! How else are they going to sell more machines if they are built to last !!!

Avoid Westinghouse appliances – *** DO NOT BUY *** Touch start button faulty. You need to stand there and press the button 100x for it to start. Seems to be a common fault and no recall from Westinghouse.

Westinghouse WWF752N3WA – Terrible machinew. Buttons won't work. Selling store doesn't weant to know. Electrolux doesn't want to know. Waiting over a month for a repair. Son's machine has same issue. They should be replaced as they are clearly defective. Show details

Does not function as advertised – Very poorly designed. You are unable to wash in cold water on the most common 39minute cycle. Yet the instruction book says you can change this option, but you can't. I am unable to spin a bath towel, it just comes out sodden. I have tried 3 different cycles and the spin only cycle, but it gets stuck on 8 minutes and stays displaying 8 minutes… Read more

for an indefinite time. I am very very sorry I purchased this machine. I am now waiting for another response from Westinghouse as to what they are going to do about the problem. It certainly does not deliver the functions it is meant to.

Complete dud – This was the worst mistake ever. In March 2023, I had the machine replaced after 6 months because the panel stopped working and they couldn’t get parts in. 12 months later this machine the panel stopped working and was replaced in March 24z it is now less than 2 months later and the panel is again not working. Cannot start the machine at all. Very frustrating and a complete dud of a machine Model: WWF7524N3WA Show details

Westinghouse Washing machine - DISAPPOINTING – Purchased machine August 2023. Experienced intermittent error of machine not starting. Average 1 out of every 10 attempts it would engage and start. Made contacted via the Westinghouse site and approximately 2weeks later the lovely 'Jim' attended confirmed the control panel was stuffed ordered a new one and after waiting 10days due to being… Read more

Christms/New Year machine was operational. Jan/Feb machine operated then Early March 2024 same error. Contacted requested service - appointment made early April 2024 for service repair. I also contacted Westinghouse direct advised them their product is rubbish and what process do I need to start to have this piece of rubbish removed and replaced by a working machine. Conversation went nowhere! So another 2weeks waiting for apparently a new control panel and another panel that is required to "fix" this KNOWN error. Narelle Linda Tanya - customer service person if you are going to reply first place yourself in the buyers shoes... I have had to find alternate arrangements over the busiest times of year Christmas & Easter for holidays - instead of enjoying this time I have been at the laundromat or family/friends doing washing. You are wasting my time & now my money. So unless you are prepared to refund/replace/compensate or attend my home and personally attend to my families laundry your contact will need to be extremely sensitive & personal. Very unhappy & disappointed in your products. Please just own it & take responsibility if you are in anyway concerned about your product reputation.

Like everyone else! Dont buy! A total dud! – Same as everyone else- dont buy! 7 months in planned obsolesence kicks in. Sometimes it will start, sometimes not. Im expecting it to totally crap itself the moment warranty runs out. These machines are not fit for purpose and should be taken off the market immediatley. Show details

Terrible product and terrible service response by Electrolux – This product was provided with a expensive rental property. The machine did not respond and then stayed on the same cycle not moving forward. Locked and unable to retrieve clothing. Wasted several hours attempting to get it to work every cycle non responsive. Electrolux unable to attend to service for two weeks.Not sure how it is acceptable to be… Read more

without a machine for that period of time. Despite the knowledge that clearly there is a problem with the product it is still on the market to be sold. Unacceptable surely Electrolux.

Won’t start every time – Washes clothes well if you can get it to start. For a brand new machine that is well looked after & lighty used, it has been the most frustrating thing to deal with ever! After selecting wash cycle you press start, and again, and again. Never starts. There is no rhyme or reason. I change cycles, open and close the door, try again. Takes a good five mins until it eventually goes. Show details

Unreliable, frustrating – Purchased this model of machine brand new in September of 2022 and it has been unreliable and problematic ever since. As another reviewer has noted, the touch buttons are often unresponsive and now, just over 8 months from original purchase date, the "start" button has ceased responding altogether, leaving the appliance non-operational until a… Read more

technician can come out (for the 2nd time), this time to replace the circuit-board, yet that won't be for another week and a bit. In the meantime, I'll need to do all my laundry by hand like it was the 1700's. It is somewhat fortunate that, as of this writing, the product is still under warranty though i dread what will happen when that warranty expires and to what extent maintaining the appliances basic function will come at my own expense. Not what you'd expect from a leading household appliance company with over 60 years in the business, one that proclaims itself to take pride in delivering "quality, reliable and durable appliances". Westinghouses website also state that they "aren’t about the latest fad or impractical features", that they "want to provide purposeful products the whole family can use – year in, year out" yet here is a laundry appliance that, due to the impractical implementation of technology susceptible to malfunction when exposed to even the slightest bit of moisture, has barely lasted just over 6 months.

long history with brand, I trusted Westinghouse again, thinking original machine was an anomaly. No it wasn't. New machine doesn't work correctly either. Faulty touch pad, start button does not work. Back on service tredmill. Could have bought a whole new machine with laundrette costs!
