Fridge / Freezer door completely detaches.
The upper fridge door completely broke away from the hinge on the freezer door below and ended up on the kitchen floor - the door shelving was smashed, contents strewn everywhere, and the floor was also damaged in the process. (Worth mentioning the crisper drawer was also faulty soon after purchase). Our insurer won't cover these kinds of manufacturer faults. The door is an obvious design flaw where the hinge is totally inadequate and significantly under engineered to cope with the load - the fridge itself works fine. Sorry to say we have also...Read more
purchased other Electrolux appliances that now raise the question of long term reliability? Doubt we will be supporting this mob with any future appliance purchases! Good name flawed by poor quality, expensive products!1 comment

Door Dropped and Vegetable Bin Broke
I have done some searches regarding the dropped door issue and found due to the number of complaints that it might be a typical issue with Westinghouse fridges. The lower door hinge has dropped so much that the door won't close without force and it already scratched a large chunk out of the inner body of the fridge. The vegetable bin broke after just several months.... it doesn't surprise me, since the design and material seems flimsy and cheap. No issues with ice build-up though, the only reason why I haven't chucked it yet and bought a new one yet. But it still very annoying to see the door stay open when it hasn't been yammed close!

Hi, the centre hinge failed causing both doors to fall off. I had to keep the unit operating to try and save food but it appears something has tripped as there is no power at all at the fridge. The light and compressor are not operating so I was wondering is there a reset somewhere as I don't have a manual for the unit?

Can you change doors from left opening to right on the Westinghouse BJ434V-R
2 answers
No. It's not a feature. The door hinges on the left, handle on the right.
Dear Clairewall - I understand the fridge could be ordered with either left or right hand opening when new however, I don't believe one can change the door opening without a great deal of effort once the fridge has been delivered and installed. In our case it was the hinge design, and in-service life, that is in question - doesn't matter whether left or right handed, in our opinion, premature failure of the support hinges is likely. We were advised the hinges (doors and other smashed components) were not repairable. Consequently we purchased another expensive fridge made by another manufacturer.
