Westinghouse BJ514V Questions & Answers

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).

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.

Most likely your fridge isn't doing the auto-defrost. Same as mine. You can defrost it yourself and save your food in the fridge by removing the drawers and shelf from the freezer. Unscrewing the two screws in the back and removing the back panel. (Two dinner knives in the slots will help pull it out. Switch off the fridge and use your wife's hair dryer on max blow minimum heat (more heat will possibly damage the compressor) to melt all the ice. Once all ice and water is gone reassemble and refill the freezer and switch on. This should keep your fridge cold for a week or so in my experience. Then buy main board P/N 1448797 from ebay and replace it yourself or call a repair man to get him to do it. (Don't break any seals or open the box or he won't guarantee his work).
