Two flaws that can't be overlooked - crisper drawer and the door.
Reliable fridge, but the crisper draw literally falls apart when you pull it out to access contents. I have resorted to sticky taping it together to keep it intact but even this doesn't work properly. It has been designed to come apart presumably for cleaning, but it does not stay together properly and constantly comes apart. It is also very difficult to get back in if you pull it out entirely.
Also, the door to the fridge is designed to stop before closing so needs a hard push to ensure it closes. Again, this is how it has been designed although I can't see the reason for it. It means often the fridge doesn't close and you don't realise until you hear the very soft alarm beeping to let you know the fridge has been open to long.
ongoing issues with the Crisper Drawer lid just keeps coming off tried to fix it adjust it and just keeps falling off not holding it firmly it is some sort of design issue never happened in the previous Westinghouse fridges the company should replace it free of charge specially in my case there is no damage to the part it is just not holding together hope Westinghouse can do something positive about it I have been using Westinghouse fridges for more than 20 years.

Started out great they reversed the door opening and from thier on it went down hill. The fridge never seemed as cold as it should have been from the start , but then in some places it would freeze food ?, then the freezer decided to become warm and defrost itself. I call out the repairman new fan required, then it happened again, more food lost. Foutunely I had put extended warranty on it or I don't know how I would have got on. Yet my old Westinghouse fridge/freezer is still brilliant .

I bought my fridge in September 2017, now it does not cooling properly. I will not buy Westinghouse again. I called the customer service this morning, in order to check my fridge, i need to pay a call out of $155 and parts. My fridge is not even 5 years old. I am so disappointed. The customer service is not very helpful.

Know better, choose better.
the freezer doesn't maintain the freezing of food correctly. Sometimes it is frozen and then the next day things are starting to thaw. I have made sure the vents in the freezer are not obstructed. Has been an ongoing problem since I bought it new in 2017.
I have had other models of Westinghouse, and have not had this problem.

Bought this fridge at the Good Guys on 29/12/2020. Broke down after one month on 3/2/021. Requested a refund or replacement, but was refused by the Good Guys. So, waited for 5 days for a technician from Electrolux turned up, and replaced a failed mortar! The fridge starting to lose it's cold after 2 weeks post mortar replacement. onto the 3rd week, noticed the outside felt warm, frosting tube round the mortat at the back, puddle of water coming out under the fridge. Onto the 4th week, fridge compartment remained with a tinge of cool, eggs were ...
Read moresweating, freezer compartment starting to defrost!!!! Very dispointed with the product. I wouldn't be bothered to negotiate with either the Good Guys nor Electrolux, and just went ahead and bought a new one of different brand . Didn't want to go through all the waiting for someone turning up to fix the fridge and broke down time and again. I am sure there were major frauds with this fridge!!!Purchased in for $974.

I bought this westingehouse fridge WTB4600WB
It worked good for 1 half yrs. The compressor has broken.
Luckily still under warranty.
It took 3 days to get their service man to come out to see fridge.
Shame on electrolux that their products have hit such a low, when they used to last minumum 10yrs.
To top it up they say they have no stock and i have to wait up to 1month for replacement, or i can
pay balance to buy another fridge from store credit.
I would stay away from this company in future. They not like they used to be when made in australia!

Zaida from Electrolux here.
We are sorry to hear you are experiencing problems with your fridge....
hi Zaida,
i have spent alot of fruitless time on the fone with your customer service.
Im happy to discuss why i was charged $190 extra to get a replacement superceded model cause you guys didnt have my current fridge in stock?
Feel free to call me.
We purchase this fridge about 4 years ago. It is a good looking fridge and easy to clean. What is disappointing is over the past year I have noticed when cleaning it the walls and floor of the fridge and freezer have cracked. I have decided to purchase another fridge, but it won’t be a Westinghouse.

We bought a new CHIQ at Hervey Norman in January 20--see another review.
I did not cool down in two days. We are restricted to a 75 cm wide fridge - no many to choose from. When the Westinghouse was plugged in a audible fan could be heard when you opened the freezer door (not outside).-and within hours it was on minus 17 degrees.
The manual is for several models and once you have found out what you have and going from the front of the book to the back again you get an idea how to set the temperature --I started with "quick freeze" -it stays in...

This fridge is fantastic. There are some option at the upper part of fridge outside where we can change the level of temperature of coldness. There are good divisions in the fridge where if you are sharing the fridge too, it won't be a mess..loved it.

So the first time we got this for nearly a year, then it went broken. Lucky it was just nice under a year. So we managed to get the spare part replaced, although it meant that we needed to arrange other way to keep all the food in other fridge. Very troublesome indeed.
I like the LED light, white bright LEDs
it is an okay fridge, sometimes i can see condensation around the jars, maybe we left it open for too long ( 20 sec) but it doesn't happen to my other fridges.
I really hateee..the doors. these doors won't close unless u push it, the hinge...
Read more stop at some point. I dint get used to it for a long time, since my previous fridge would close even if its 50cm away from the frame. so I needed to be very very careful not to accidentally left it open.- Build Quality

Unfortunately I purchased my Westinghouse WTB4600WAL fridge on 26-10-19 and what I now regard as a pile of cheap junk.
Since delivery the motor has been running much much longer than it is shut down and I am terrified at my next electricity bill.
Obviously it is designed to be mainly viewed from the inside, which looks nice and shiny with LED lighting. The adjustable door bins are great, but apparently there is a fault with the crisper drawer jamming and leaving its tracks, that I haven't encountered yet. The adjustable freezer temp is good...
Read more, more than can be said for the temp adjustment in the lower fridge section. There is NOTHING stylish about its exterior. It is just an ugly rectangular box, unlike my earlier 15 year old model that had rounded corners and far superior paint finish. On the paper-thin sides and top the paint finish is woeful. It is rough and mottled (cost saving?) so I assume they are designed to be recessed (hidden) within cupboards. Once you have wasted your money as I have, good luck reading the Manual. For the tiny print you will need eyes like a hawk or a magnifying glass. Zero out of 10 here for cost cutting.Purchased in for $850.

The fridge maintains a consistent temperature and does what a fridge is supposed to do. However, I have noticed the fridge makes an irritating buzzing noise from time to time. Opening and closing the doors sometimes stops the noise. The next time it makes the noise, I'll record it and send it to the good guys.

This is a great fridge. We bought 2, a left and right hinged and put them side by side. Almost twice the literage of a double door fridge for about the same price! The fridge and freezer Compartments both keep a consistent temperature and are easy to adjust. Really like how much usable space it has for a single door fridge, compared to the double door one we used to have. The doors are easy to open and close unless you just closed the fridge and try to open it again straight away, it gets a bit of suction and you have to tug it.

I have had my wtb4600war fridge for 3 years purchased 15/12/18. It has always been noisy at times and you have to actually move it to keep it quite.
