How do you remove the bottom draws to clean them?
Syltonasked
I am having a problem removing the freezer drawers to clean, I have read the manual, but still unable to remove them, would appreciate help with this. The model is WBE4500WA. Thanking you
1 answer
I checked removing the drawers on mine. Pull them fully out then seperate the drawer and the slide from the very front, it was a bit tight but pushing the slide down and the drawer up it just popped out.
Shruthiasked
I got my Westinghouse WBE4514SA-R delivered today from The Good Guys Auburn branch - and I find the sides and the top of my refrigerator hotter than normal. Just wondering if it’s safe as I have never seen or felt any fridge getting that hot?
1 answer
Yes, ours was like that and I think it is how they work. Can you open the fridge door easily and ours got very noisey after two weeks

Can you buy the deli draw to fit the 453lt bottom mount?

Sueasked
Can you advised what the high pitch whistling noise is coming from my refrigerator when the motor is running?
1 answer
Hi Sue, sorry but I don’t know what that is. If it stops making the noise when you open the door it will be the fan inside the fridge as this cuts in and out with the the door switch. Regards Ben

Kelly Jonasasked
Does this fridge come with a left hand side option?
3 answers
I have seen a left-hand option, but from memory it was a few hundred dollars dearer than the standard right-hand one. Still loving the fridge, by the way.
Thanks, I think it's worth the investment then!!
I have the left-hand version of this fridge (model WBE4500SALH; the "LH" presumably means Left Hand). The left-hand version does have a design flaw: the temperature controls are positioned inside the main compartment on the right. Pretty much exactly where you your arm or hands brush against them when getting stuff in and out of the fridge. On the right-hand opening version these controls would be sheltered by the door so wouldn't get changed accidentally.
YOUHUasked
How to adjust temperature?
2 answers
On the temperature indicator on the inside of the fridge, pressing the word 'ZONE' toggles between the fridge and freezer temperature. Once you've chosen the zone to adjust, pressing the word 'TEMP' increases the temperature. Pressing it again increases the temperature again. Once it has reached the maximum temperature, pressing the word 'TEMP' then drops the temperature to the minimum available. Continuing to press it continues to increase the temperature until maximum is reached and the cycle starts all over again.

Lozzaasked
I have recently bought this Westinghouse fridge and was wondering about the door closure, it will not shut the last 20cms unless I close it manually. (by giving it a good push) this is a little annoying as I am not used to doing this.
Does this model have self closing hinges? WBE4514SA-R. Maybe I need to adjust instalment??
1 answer
I think they designed it do this as you probably noticed that we you lock the door it creates a vacuum, so if you want to open the door you need to wait about 5 seconds. The little push thing helps when you almost accidentally go to nudge the door closed while holding a handful of stuff you want to put in the fridge without doing the 5 second wait.
I though it was a clever design.
Connie gasked
What's the recommended temperature setting for both fridge and freezer. We cannot go below -14 c any help?
3 answers
Westinghouse handbook does not recommend any temperature settings, but my fridge seems to be working well at -4C and the freezer at -15C.
Hope this is helpful.
Hello ! I have left it at the factory default setting and for me it's perfect.I transferred all my frozen stuff into the new fridge and haven't noticed any difference except the ice cream is a tad softer which is a bonus.Hint: cos it's frost free all frozen foods should be wrapped to be air tight -pop them in a plastic bag or air tight container to prevent foods drying out.
Hi, my fridge came with a very helpful booklet. It recommends that the fridge be set at 3 and the freezer at 18. This was very easy to do as you hit the zone button which goes blank, then hit the temperature buttons until it lights up brightly next to the 3. Then hit the zone button again to change to the freezer and follow the same process ntil the button next to 18 lights up. These seem to be the ideal temeratures for my fridge and are the recommended "factory settings"

Thomasasked
Is it normal for the door on a Westinghouse model WBE4500WA-R to pause before it shuts? In other words when the door is fully open and you go to close it, it almost closes but not completely without a second push. It happens with both the upper and lower compartments. Apart from being a bit annoying can you explain what advantages it is supposed to offer or how we can remove the feature . . . that is if it is a feature and not a fault?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
When I close the door on my fridge it does the same as yours but I push it a little harder for it to close on one push
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Had my fridge delivered today, as fridges go it's ok. Not as good as my old Westinghouse that died. This door issue is infuriating!!!! I have adjusted to feet etc yet to doors stop and don't close properly. It's more than annoying, it's really put me off!
Jam jamasked
Hello, just wondering if it's normal for the back down the bottom where all the wires are to be open?? Or is mine missing a cover??
2 answers
Hello, do you mean inside the freezer or the back of the whole fridge?
Hi Donna the back of the fridge outside down the bottom it's all open and I can see all the plugs and wires etc etc little kids can get behind there and pull on the cords etc... I would have thought it would be covered...
Sadeeasked
What is the cost of this model please?
Thanx
Domasked
Brand new fridge just delivered and the lights don't work and also sensor panel doesn't either but fridge seems to be working fine as its cooling as normal. Is there some trick that I need to do when installing a new fridge ?
2 answers
Not that I recall. Sounds like an electric issue
More importantly a warranty issue if a new fridge.
Madeleineasked
We have a new fridge trying to install it but have now back covering the bottom of the motor on the rear. Should there be one?????
2 answers
Yes the entire back of fridge is covered except for the bottom 20cm or so. Compressor needs to breathe I guess.
Since this fridge is a Jedi model that is the force, it's an energy field created by all your refrigerator. It surrounds and penetrates your food; it binds the freshness together
Carol Williamsonasked
How does anyone remove the fridge shelves?
1 answer
If you haven't worked it out yet, you need to push up the back of the shelf from underneath and pull it forward using the front edge,
almost as annoying as the door which I have now taken to slamming, it requires too much positive pressure to close.

Have you guys fixed the crisper drawer problem everyone here is complaining about? I'm looking at buying one of these fridges.
1 answer
I have no issues at all with the crisper drawer. I'm not sure if others are over loading it or are too rough but I have no issues and I've had it since Jan. And my boyfriend is pretty rough with it and we don't have any issues. Go to Harvey Norman and try it out for yourself.
