Westinghouse 460L Top Mount WTB460 Series

Poor Lifespan – 4 years in and suddenly the freezer wont get cold enough. I suspect the motor for the fan has died. Paid $1,099 for it back in 2020 and its already out of warranty, which means i'll have to pay a $165 flat rate(+ parts costs) to call someone out to fix it. I'll be looking into my options under Australian Consumer Law as this is a unreasonable amount of time for a refrigerator. Show details

I wouldn't if I were you – You know how when a fridge came into your home it would last for years and years then go to the garage as a spare for christmass then to the kids when they left home. Well, if you are unlucky enough to buy a WESTINGHOUSE fridge, it wont make it to that point in time when it needs a jolly good clean out before you are off to the shops to buy its… Read more

replacement. Honestly these so called appliances are absolute rubbish. The problems we had from day one, the lack of warranty help, the repair bills etc etc. We are now loading a 3 year old fridge, that looks brand new, into the back of the ute to take to landfill. Maybe the other brands are no better but I know WESTINGHOUSE is crap.

Not happy with Fridge – Had the fridge for only 3.5 years and had to get it repaired which cost 50% of the original price. I would never buy a Westinghouse fridge again. Show details

A fridge that only lasted 3 years and 4 months. Very disappointed – I am very disappointed that this fridge only worked 3 yrs and 4 months since we purchased it from Domayne. It just decided to defrost everything in the freezer and the fridge temp was 10 as I always have a temperature gauge inside. We unplugged and check the back for dust etc, it all looked good and plugged again but it still didnt work,… Read more

compressor didn't make that initial loud noise and there's a buzzing sound all the time. Called the customer service and we have to pay $165 call out fee for someone to check what's wrong. I will not waste $165 that I don't readily have as that can be used to buy a new one, a different brand. For a fridge with a popular name and cost $888 (discounted) we expect it to last a bit longer than that..can you please improve your product, we dont want to be throwing a massive fridge every 3 years or so because you are not making them to last the way they should. We have 2 Westinghouse fridges and one is only a year and a half yrs old, hopefully the second one last longer than the other, otherwise the government should charge you more for the rubbish you contribute to the environment..for anyone looking at new fridges, shop around and read reviews and stay away from this one..our last fridge lasted 15 years (different brand). It's not fair to be spending that much money for something that will only last a year after warranty when the expected fridge life is 10 years. Do better and dont waste our hard earned money.

Cutting corners but not to bad – After 10 years of the reliable Westinghouse fridge going strong its time was up. We did the research and come up Westinghouse still the best in the price range and size we wanted. We had no concerns due to the other fridge serving us well. Being from a country town neither of the 2 appliance shops had this model in stock for us to look at making… Read more

it challenging. Once home we noted the quality of the interior compartments have declined they feel and look flimsy and the vegetable draw is not as deep as the last fridge and does not hold a lot for a fridge of this size, The shelves runners are not grooved all the way along the slide in making it a hazard when pulling the shelf out to clean, all items on the shelf need to be removed.

The biggest concern for us is there is no light now if the freezer!!! Why do they design these without a light? Both our past Westinghouse fridges have had this feature one just takes it for granted there is a light in a freezer. On asking the store which we purchased they said most fridges don't now... Most frustrating not having this ease of looking into ones freezer... Another cut back is the wine/bottle steel shelf that used to be supplied with the fridge this is no longer on offer.

The good points are it is slightly bigger and the freezer which holds more. The fridge is very quite when running the light in the fridge is bright and makes it easy to see in. Overall the fridge is fine, it is noticeable the cost cutting measure manufactures are making now to save money.

Terrible quality fridge with abysmal support – Fan died after 2 years. Manufacturer tries to claim it's out of warranty contrary to Australian Consumer Law. Technician replaces the fan with one way louder and claims it's normal noise. I can hear my fridge buzzing from every room in the house now. Show details

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… Read more

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.

Regretful buy- I will not buy Westinghouse brand ever again – 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.  Show details

The freezer – 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.  Show details

this is terrible! major fraud – 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… Read more

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 sweating, 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!!!

Worst products – I bought a Westinghouse fridge just over 3 years ago and already stopped working. Rang customer service and they were very unhelpful. Don’t waste your money on Westinghouse products you will be disappointed  Show details

Giant with many option – 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. Show details

Its ok – 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… Read more

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 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.

Great value!! – 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… Read more

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.

This has a lot to live up to - replaced our 42yo kelvinator – Received an email asking for a review on our recent purchase but the link appeared to be locked. Fridge looks good, temperature choices are good and easy to adjust, space/interior design good. However we are adjusting to its different ‘noises’ - which the manual does explain. Also, the power cord was very short.  Show details

Lovely clean design – Really like this fridge - I got it as new on eBay and it really is in new condition. Runs beautifully and quiet as a mouse. No leaks of any problems at all. I really like the shelving - super easy to pull out and clean and adjust. Just a simple, well designed fridge from a reliable maker  Show details

Very good apart from the crisper draw – Have had previous Westinghouse fridges which lasted for 19 years and longer for one prior to that. Downgraded to a smaller model due to kids leaving home and fridge needing replacement. Fridge/freezer works extremely well for cooling etc but crisper draw was difficult to open/close from purchase. Crisper draw now continually drops out of runners even after being put back on.  Show details ·  2

Door set up – Still unpacking, how and where to place the 2 long shelves on the door? Looks a great fridge, my last one as a Fridgedair purchased in 1963. Helen I have chosen Westinghouse because they are the same company and I expect the same long service from this fridge, as soon as I set it going.  Show details ·  1

Australian made – This a bit embarrassing I purchased my one and only fridge back in 1991.My Westinghouse fridge .this fridge hasn't had any parts replaced appart from one globe.the food stays fresh and it chills the beer quick to.when I purchased the fridge I asked for a Australian made fridge because I wanted something that would last.Hope the poor buggers arnt waiting for me to buy another  Show details

Perfect! – I love this fridge! I read other reviews saying it was noisy but mine is totally quiet. Good space in both fridge and freezer. It Holds the same temp, i added my own thermometer to make sure the fridge stays between 3°-5° Celsius and it does. You can customize the shelves to suit your needs too. Its perfect.  Show details

Best Buy! – This fridge has been amazing. Maintains great temperature throughout the fridge and freezer and all compartments throughout. Quiet fridge and very easy to clean. Plenty of space for all the groceries to fit in. The compartments for example crisper is great size to keep fruit and veg fresh for longer.  Show details

Just the fridge we needed – Have always liked Westinghouse refrigerators for durability, last one lasted 25 years. This is the traditional freezer on top model which is cheaper and ideal for the space we had to put it in. We probably could have just replaced the seals on the old Westinghouse and given it a good clean, but it is great to have this easy to clean, quiet, new model!  Show details

Great fridge – We purchased this fridge about 18 months ago as our old Westinghouse was playing up after about 8 years of solid use. It's a great fridge that hasn't given us any issue to date. I expect it will continue to keep our food fresh and drinks chilled for at least another 5 years.  Show details

Nice Big Fridge, Very Quiet and Very spacious Inside,not expensive – Very nice big Fridge for less than $1000 and very spacious inside. Very spacious space for Freezer, very energy efficient, very quiet, Nice Glass shelving instead of racks, hence easy to clean. Sliding divider for fruit or vegetables is very convenient indeed. It has also a warning alarm when door has been opened for too long which is also very convenient feature.  Show details

Pay the price – When shopping for whitegoods i try to buy good name brands. I purchased my westinghouse because of this. I happy to pay an extra amount to avoid issues later on. It's a good dependable buy, it's quiet and maintains an even temperature. Obviously the fridge you buy should depend on how many people in your household, so this may not be for you.  Show details

Fantastic but noisy fridge – Works well. energy efficient and all the compartments stay at the correct temperature. Door and lights are great, The only thing that I do not like about this that the fridge is much noisier than the one it replaced. It hums and gurgles most of the time so much that we have to have the bedroom door closed at night to get to sleep. Maybe all new… Read more

frost free fridges would be this load but it is not something you can listen too at the shop. They should have a Db rating and "time on" as well.

Great fridge, spacious and sleek design – I purchased this fridge about 10 months ago and it has been fantastic, maintains a great temperature through the whole fridge and keeps all the food under temperature, the design is exactly the style I like with the freezer being on top and the crisper located on the bottom. The fridge has different temperature settings which can be adjusted,… Read more

this saves on running costs which is handy as there are times where there are different products in it and it may not need to be on full power, illustrates great versatility. The fridge is generally very quiet except on the odd occasion when it makes a slight noise which sounds as if it is entering a temporary defrost mode or is part of the standard functionality. The fridge is also very easy to clean and I have had times where even the most stubborn food stains etc can come off with some basic hot soapy water, the space between the shelves gives the user plenty of room to clean comfortably.
