Have had it for 15 years still going strong its fantastic always keeps the food at the correct temp i would buy the same one nextime but it just keeps going and going. It was the best thing I have bought in a long time. And it looks good .

Had our fridge now 15 years, bit noisy when running, never had a fault. third W'house we have had. No complaints. Does on occasions cool things a bit too much (freeze) but seldom. Nice unit...Probably a bit big now the kids have left home.Haven't even had to replace a globe. Good freezer.

Hi, can anyone tell me if they have been successful in figuring out why the fridge section freezes food intermittently and what has been done to fix it?

This has been an isue for years and we constantly have to throw food that has frozen. We had a tech out a little while ago and he tested everything to say all was working fine and this fridge just seems to do this! Great we thought, that was worth about $160. Doing it again now and even with the fridge "cold" level turned to the lowest setting it's still freezing in different zones within the fridge.. so frustrating.

Any help here is appreciated. We have the BJ505T model.

Looks good and has been great but just cant stop it freezing everything in the fridge... same thing happened to the last westinghouse fridge i had.... fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Not a third time though.

A product so sub-standard you wonder if any quality testing was ever done. Nothing was good about this fridge. Never another Westinghouse product again. Freezer will not freeze, cooler will freeze your food. If it worked too noisy. Doors wont shut, Thermostat control so loose and in the wrong spot. over all it is an awful waste of money
The looks
Freezer will not freeze. Cooler will freeze sometimes. Frequent Breakdown. Doors wont shut Too noisy if it ever worked Absolute rubbish

dud. a huge dissapointment. I was hoping this would last me 10 years or more. 2.5 years and it's landfill.
loved the look and design. I paid it off in about 4 months- very proud about that. Worked well until it suddenly stopped working after 1.5 yrs. I had to replace the entire motor for $165AU!
The butter lids at the top of the door broke almost immediately! very poor design there. The door looked great if I used a stainless steel spray on it but was still hard to keep clean. it scratched easily. Now after 2 years it is freezing my food. The new motor isnt even 6 months old! We will have to replace this frige. I dont want to replace any more motors. DONT BUY WESTINGHOUSE!

The design of the fridge is good, there is alot of room in it, but that doesn't help the fact that it destroys all my vegetables and a few other things that cant come back from being partially frozen. i cannot wait to buy a new fridge or get this one fixed. its driving me up the wall...
Roomy, like the upside down idea
The fridge freezes, the freezer doesn't work the best

Biggest waste of money in my life. This fridge did not work adequately from day one, do not buy anything from Westinghouse, this is worse then rubbish.

* plastic bottle keeper broke immediately when i tried to install it.
* makes ludicrous amount of noise
* Just outside of 2 year warranty period, fridge and freezer stopped working, quote was $400 to fix, something to do with casing

An absolute dud of a fridge... My second Westinghouse that has been a poor product.
The people serving Westinghouse in our area said that most complaints were about Westinghouse and most newer models were replaced within 5 years.
Looked great when we bought it. It is still running.(3 y.o)
The fridge section freezers everything. There is a 'chill zone'- which is suppose to be where you can put things to keep them especially cold. I think the 'Chill zone' was a design fault and someone decided to call it a feature rather than a fault. All the fruit and veges always freeze. The stainless steel surface began to rust within a year, the plastic mouldings around the bottom broke within 6 months, the seals split within a year.

Fantastic layout, an ice maker would have made it a 5.
The thermostat may have an issue (or relay) but as stated above, we have purchased second-hand
Don't have to bend over to use the most commonly accessed part - the fridge
has problems (cools to only 16C instead of 3-5C) on extremely hot days, but to be fair we purchased second-hand
No ice maker
