Westinghouse 453L Bottom Mount WBE4500 (Integrated Handle)

I hate our new fridge because it’s so noisy. We’ve had several Westinghouse fridges before which have been fine. This one let’s it’s presence known all the time!! Definitely not suitable for open plan living areas which most houses have these days. I don’t understand how a company like Westinghouse could allow such a product on the market. I’ll be getting a new fridge and it definitely won’t be Westinghouse.

So the freezer freezes food. The fridge cools food. So the fundamentals are there. Good start.
But.
It's quite noisy and when I am quietly working from home all I can hear the the compressor buzzing.
Plus, and this drives me INSANE!! Both the fridge door AND freezer door have some sort of mechanism built in that prevents it from closing if you don't slam them shut. Every other fridge I've owned will shut the door with a gentle push. I am constantly telling the kids to shut the stupid door properly. Because muscle memory has taught them a ge...

3 months old. Terrible noises. Sometimes sounds like an animal dying! NotNormal. I’m waiting for it to stop working. Door ridiculously difficult to open. Suction tooStrong &have to yank it

Top shelf is already sagging a day after we got it under the weight of condiments. Poor quality and design if it can't deal with the weight of normal fridge items. Glass shelves are very flimsy compared with our last Westinghouse fridge. Beware!!!

Worst fridge I have ever used. The fridge failed after one month and compressor was replaced. Same thing happened one month later. Repair man was scheduled 3 weeks after. No compensation for the food and medication at all. So disappointing. Will never recommend.

If you plan to bin $$$ of foods cost after 2 weeks purchased brand new Westinghouse Fridge and again after 15 months new replacement because of the same PERFECTly defect compressor than consider to buy it with this define promised!! According to the nice repair man of Electrolux on the both days visited to repair it! this product was manufactured with perfectly defect compressor and still, it is being SALE unintentionally to customer. Well done Westinghouse! I am unintentionally off for another product after i got my store credit!

I purchased this Westinghouse fridge last year in July (still under warranty). At the start of this year in January I contacted you to advise the fridge had stopped working and after the technician came we were advised it’s the compressor and needs to be replaced. We got a replacement fridge at the start of February and you had our fridge for two months to repair. I called to advise we were moving and needed our fridge back and was advised the part still hadn’t arrived (two months?) and they marked the repa...

In late March 2020, my Westinghouse fridge that I had owned for approx 25 years finally stopped working. On Friday 27th March I purchased a new Westinghouse fridge WBE45005B-L, this was delivered to our home on Sat 28th March.
After about 3 weeks, we noticed that the fridge was not working as effectively as when we first received it. We consulted the manual, tried to adjust temperatures, but to no avail.

Early on Friday 24th April we contacted Westinghouse/Electrolux who advised a technician could not come out until Mon 27th April, who when he...

Purchased in 26 Dec 2019 (brand new) as our 20 year old Westinghouse fridge (top mount) eventually gave out.
The new fridge worked great. Love the drawers and style especially how they easily glide.
Love the built it ice cube tray & container - absolutely genius!
The digital temperature panel allows you to set difference temperature for different zones.
The shelves are sturdy and so easy to clean! The entire fridge is easy to clean - including the exterior (which smudged a lot) but a quick wipe takes care of that.
However, on 23 Dec 2020 (after...

We bought this fridge as Westinghouse brand still has some connection to Australia and all the service and people involved (I know it is all globalised and Electrolux etc but still). Also it seemed of having OK quality and not too smelly plastic.
It worked fine for 4 years, somewhat noisy and sluggish to cool - we had more efficient fridges before - but still OK enough. Internals have good layout and lighting, but flimsy.
It stopped working properly about a month ago - does not freeze. Tried re-starting etc and ended up calling Westinghouse sup...

Dosent stay cold, food goes off.
New Fan died after a week.
!!! Not at all happy with it.
It is a nice looking fridge , and good size.
The drawers in freezer are crap... the come off the runners all the time

Bought this fridge in January and the compressor went in September. Very noisy. Doors very hard to open.
My last Westinghouse fridge went for almost 30 years. Very disappointed with this.. Changed to a Samsung & so far it's good, not noisy like the Westinghouse.

This fridge sounds like a motorbike revving up in the kitchen every half hour, around the clock, and once the revving settles down, the compressor can be heard from the other end of the house. It's no fun being woken at 3am by your fridge. I mean, my old LG fridge was 15 years old by the time it died and you would never even know it was running. How is it possible for a much newer model be so outstandingly bad?? As soon as I can afford to replace this fridge, I will, and you couldn't pay me to buy a Westinghouse now.

Quality Build and Well Set Out, Roller Draws in Freezer are Great. The But is its Noisy & Runs almost Continuesly, Hope it Lasts Forever though. Purchased from Harvey Norman Just two months ago

The fridge has a high pitch sound that is driving me insane. I have a constant ringing in my right ear now. I had the first one replaced because of the noise, but the replacement is just as bad. I have tried very hard to live with this, but I think I’ve reached my limit. It feels like it is messing with my hearing it’s that bad. Otherwise, I love the fridge.
