This fridge has been honestly great. I had it for over 10years, may be 15. Freezer and cold compartments work great.
My doors never had problems. User who may have have to expect a wear and tear after a few years.
Also people have to be mindful loading bricks in the doors and hinges will not fall off.
Adjustable temp and works perfect.

Door Fell off
On one hand we have had the fridge for 12 years and its run effectively.
On the other hand the door literally fell off. Hinge just snapped in half. Thankfully no one was hurt.
This is a problem with this generation of Westinghouse fridges - other people have made similar reports. Be careful with their older products (any maybe new products who knows)
Purchased in April 2021.

Disappointed
Yes, I agree with all above. Hinges and compartments started breaking fairly early on. yesterday, just over 5 years after I bought it, the main door fell off after the hinge just snapped, and smashed many things that were stored in the door compartments. After reading these reviews - no Westinghouse for me again!

Problem with top door dropping and jamming on bottom inside. Any help?
1 answer
I noticed a similar problem but only after fridge was about >10 years old. Noticed it because the pressure caused the small plastic bits near hinge to break off. Still functioned well and stayed sealed but could see it was breaking down a bit.
I would ask Westinghouse to address this issue (and no, we did not 'hang' off nor lean on door).

when the thermosted comes on a loud nocking noise is occurring, it has just started doing it tonight .what could be the problem?

My guess is that the compressor motor on the back of the fridge has come loose. If you don't get it repaired and bolted down again it may break a coolant pipe. Pull the fridge out and see what is moving. It may be just a loose screw.

to comment on the review above. My door never had any issues either, although in hindsight last 6 months it wasn't closing so well. That is until the hinge snapped in half and it fell off. We never lo... Read more
aded "bricks" into the side door. Just regular milk, water, eggs, some jars, typical door type items but nothing outrageously heavy. This review is just a warning to check your door if it acts a little weird. If my small kid had been opening the fridge when it happened there would have been a potential serious injury.
