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.

Purchased this fridge 3 weeks ago and yesterday I closed the freezer door and the noise level went from a 1/10 noisy to an 8/10 noisy and the fridge keeps beeping even though the doors are closed. Have to sleep with all doors closed in the house to block the noise out. The fridge and freezer are not even 1/4 full. Now I have to go through the rigmarole of getting a brand new fridge fixed or replaced. Beyond disappointing.

quality control very poor fridge failed after 6 weeks. wrote to Westinghouse on numerous occasions lost all our food made numerous telephone calls two appointments made for service and no ne turned up no phone call and left waiting for 2 half days. over a week of emails then offered a store credit but no fridges of this type in Australia. Had purchased two fridges as a pigeon pair and request to replace both fridges with different model denied. so I will be left with two non matching fridges. Customer care is only a call centre operated from ca...

Nice fridge except for the high pitched whine noise it has. A bit like your ears are ringing! The freezer doesn’t seem to have as much space as my old 442 litre fridge. The door can also be a bit hard to open causing the whole fridge to move. I could put up with the lack of freezer space and the door but the noise is VERY annoying. I have read about other people complaining about the same thing.
Edit: A few weeks on and I’m sort of used to the noise. The crisper drawer feels a bit flimsy but it is a nice fridge. Our electricity consumption has definitely dropped. I think it’s very energy efficient.

EDIT: The repairman came and couldn’t hear the noise but said to just get a refund and try a different brand, because all Westinghouse fridges would be the same. We are switching to an LG model that advertises a quiet inverter compressor!
When we first got the fridge - 4 days ago - it was great. It’s stylish, a good size, has removeable baskets for the door, freezer is nice and roomy and the lighting inside is great. A day in and I could hear a high-pitched buzzing noise (which is subjective because my dad, for example, can’t hear it). We have ...

Bought the 453L bottom mount fridge and the fridge stopped working with in two months, called Westinghouse , Westinghouse sent the technician on the same day, technician concluded that the compressor was bust and recommended a replacement. Westinghouse unable to replace the fridge for more than a week. Disappointing. No compensation was offered for inconvenience.

I'm certainly happy with this fridge, but I think some points could be improved.
The fridge compartment has a lot of space and its very flexible. You can move the internal shelves around, and the door shelves come in several parts that allow you to move them around to positions that suit you. You also have the option to adjust the division in the crisper drawer. The lockable compartment is a nice touch for medications that you wouldn't want kids to get into etc.
It's easy to set the temperatures and very user-friendly, and the lighting in th...

Had the fridge for 1 year so far and it has been a set and forget experience. Very low power usage compared to my older fridge of 7 yrs. Only gripe would be with the design of the freezer, with all the compartments and ice drawer it really reduces usable space.

Bought the fridge in March 2017 and up until a week age I was happy with the product and then it has lost the ability to cool anything. The fridge can now just do 14 degrees. Not good enough if you need 3-7 degrees for food and medicine.
Called the hotline and all they said was 'out of warranty', provided me with some phone numbers to give the service people a call to get it fixed at my expense.
The fridge is less than 3 years old, where is the customer care? Not sure if the brand / manufacture is proud of its product and performance as it seems I'm not the only one with cooling issues.

This fridge has been excellent, love the bottom mount configuration with drawers. Looks stylish. Specialised fridge tupperware works better than the crisper drawers. If anything it is a bit small and it gets filled quickly, but there was only the space to put a small fridge in the kitchen. The door baskets help free up some space as they are spacious and the sides of the baskets are high enough that short items will not fall out when opening the drawer too fast.

I really like the fridge and it keeps food cold however my only bug bear is the layout. I feel like the space could be better utilised. Other than that it’s a great fridge!

Everything fits perfect. Good on electricity and very quiet. I like the fact the freezer is on the lower level. I will recommend this product to all my friends and family.

Was going to buy a Haier fridge but after seeing the width will only allow 5mm on each sides, I decided to get this Westinghouse which will have 3cm on each sides (the space in my son's kitchen only 800mm width. And its has bottom freezer and a compact ice maker which my son love. I had many Westinghouse fridges before, so I better stick to one and have a very good discount before spending more than $3G at The Good Guys. It has simple front design, the ONLY drawback its come only on Right Hand opening so if your fridge cavity is on your left than taking eggs out to the cooking bench you have to close the door first but for its sleek and white design plus plenty of space inside I am ok with it.
