Around 2005 era, that’s when I bought mine brand new.
The handles of my fridge turned awfully yellow. Any chance they can be taken of and Re coated or replaced?
Can I know it’s energy rating ?
My RJ422 is freezing items in the fridge compartment - never done this before. I’ve tweaked the Air Flow dial in the freezer, and the Cold dial in the fridge. Also turned it off for 24 hrs, but fridge keeps freezing over. Should I replace the thermostat? Thanks
Im looking to find out how many watts it takes to run this fridge?
I have the same fridge and it notes that it is 0.64 amps but it doesn’t list the wattage on the inner label inside the fridge - so not sure if that helps.
The bottom of the refrigerator door is cracked an drops when opened or closed. I have been advised to replace the door. Are replacement doors (right hand opening) available > Model RJ422V-R: Serial No. 40657781
Mick where are you located? I may have a spare door.
I live in Canberra, ACT. If this is a likely solution, could you please provide further details.

I have a 440 litre westinghouse aurora RJ442 ( no other symbols , just that no) that has no defrost timer although it states it is a defrost fridge . I have to defrost it manually every 2 to 3 weeks to get it to work correctly . Now before you ask any questions , yes i have looked at what appears to be a foam insert that suggests it should have one . It works just fine after i defrost but it does freeze up after 2 to 3 weeks . can i adapt a timer to this model? , thank you.
you know why there is no answer ??? , because they dont know .

I have a Westinghouse fridge RJ422V-R*4 (serial no 55154074) and the door clunks every time it is opened any further than 200mm. I believe it is the opener bearing that is failing but cannot find a part no. or source any spares for this model. Any help available?
Hi Raz2, Marina from Electrolux here. If the issue you have raised is still not resolved at this time, can you please email me your contact details at customercare@electrolux.com.au attention Marina Ticket Number 1599915 We would really like to assist you. Thanks, Marina
We have the same fridge with the same problem. What's probably happened is that the hinge parts (a hinge plate and a thimble cam assembly) have worn out after many years of use. The clunk you hear is the bottom of the door rubbing the bottom. It's too late for ours because the bottom of the door has been damaged beyond repair, but perhaps it's not too late for yours. Hope this helps.
Many thanks for your help
How do I get the interior trim off so that I can get to the timer switch assy
thermostat in freezer does not work and is getting to cold and fan on left is very noisy
Model RJ422V r 420l westinghouse stopped working over three years ago so i put it in farmshed Just lights was working also no fan working condenser was not frosting up and compressor was not working nothing was working except for lights On christmas visitor simply plugged it in and put some strawberries Last week i heard what sounded like a compressor what a surprise to find unknown to myself it had been plugged in with fresh strawberries in it delicious to eat everything fine everything working fine the defrost cycle everything perfect but alas two days ago it stopped again just lights working but today it started working perfect again i am retired so a bit worried to call out service dont know what to do weather to buy new one or get this serviced
Hi Castiglione. Our RJ422V R just died (gas leak) so we're in the market for a new one. Yesterday while we were trying to diagnose it, our service guy said that the defrost timer gets old and can get stuck on defrost. There's a hole with access to it in the roof of the fridge compartment. Following his instructions, I turned it (clockwise) with pointy nose pliers till it gave a louder 'click' (little ratchet sounds as you're turning it). It didn't turn on when I powered it at the wall, but a tiny bit more of a turn (couple of ratchets) and it came on. That apparently as part of a process-of-elimination, determines if your defrost timer is in need of replacement (ie. getting stuck in the defrost cycle). I noticed that there are parts available online. It wouldn't cost much and following Youtube for access instructions, you could swap it out and it might cure your problem. It didn't solve our issue but as your's is still getting cold when it does randomly run, your compressor and gas are intact. The defrost timer may be randomly getting stuck and unstuck. If i'm right it might be a cheap DIY fix. I'm a fitter, not a fridgie so I'm just using deductive reasoning from my limited knowledge - not experience. Good luck - if it works, it's lucky you didn't turn it off at the wall or you'd not have found out that it still gets cold. Cheers Gilbert - Brisbane
