Weak handles
Have not had any issues with the fridge itself except the fridge handle broke off on the day of delivery. On the day of delivery, walked pass the fridge and lightly bumped the fridge handle. The bottom attachment of the handle broke off. The handle is attached to the main body of the fridge by small black plastic knobs. One of them broke when I bumped it lightly. I feel as though this is not supposed to occur after a light sideways bump.
I emailed Westinghouse over a week a go, I am still waiting for a reply with regards to it getting fixed. ...Read more
the rest of the fridge is wonderful though. Lots of space On the shelves and door. You have to open the door wide open to get to the verge crisp drawer. The freezer gets a bit of frost though. But nothing that is too disrupting. But I would like my fridge to have a handle.

Perfect and comfortable to use
hugh space, good cooling, available in different range options.
it uses less electric bills,
It has lot of space available, and good storage system.
Easy to open and close. The best I like is it have variety of compartments with different size and facility
also it have separate box compartments for vegetables and double door.
Freeze box is lower side, so you dont have to bend frequently unless needed.

Good
I love this fridge. Was given the option of ordering it opening either side which was perfect for my kitchen as we needed one that was opposite to what most come. Great amount of space and a good layout. it's the perfect size for my family and I don't think I'm going to need another one until it breaks which I'm hoping to be a very long time from now. I would buy this again and recommend to others.

Died 3 timed in 18 months.
Purchased from Joyce Mayne with a Westinghouse dishwasher for our new house. Fridge has died 3 times forcing us to throw away hundreds of dollars of food each time.
The fridge just stops chilling/freezing each time and the temp gauge inside flashes.
This first time they replaced a fan. The second time the put in a new compressor. Now the repairer wanted to replace some pipes?
The last repairer said that this would keep happening (not sure why) and to ask Joyce Mayne for a new fridge Contacted Joyce Mayne who were helpful and agreed this was...Read more
not good enough and advised I would get a call from Westinghouse regarding a replacement. So far it has been 2 weeks with no fridge/food with 3 kids and my elderly mother to take care of. I received a call from a lady from Westinghouse (Electrolux) yesterday. She informed me someone would call me next week to arrange delivery of our new fridge. I enquired about them sending a different model as i have lost all faith in this product. She said no as they had plenty of this model in stock. I asked her if there were any known problems with this model and if this is likely to happen again? She quite rudely stated "all things brake down from time to time". Huh? Obviously do not have faith in their own product. We are a young family and were previously using two 20yr old hand me down fridges that never missed a beat. This same lady then informed me she reviewed our case and the issues were "minor". I would say a fridge failing 3 times in 18 months is not "minor". When a fridge won't keep actually do it's job and keep your food cold/frozen I would say that is about as big a failure as it can have. Not happy at all. Will be taking this further and demanding a refund or a different model. Looks good, great size but the worst purchase we have made.

Perfect, quiet
Temperature is great I have set on average the coolest temperature is very cool. Love the size and design of the vegetable chill draw and the ice tray is great. Door seals very well however can be a little hard to open immediately after closing. We purchased this fridge as it is quieter than our previous fridge,

Great family sized fridge!
We upgraded recently to the Westinghouse (after having another Westinghouse for 7 years) and love it! There is plenty of room inside, with the wide shelves, door shelves, bottle holders, etc The fridge is also nice and bright when you open it, making it easy to find things.
The stainless doors have a nice clean finish, and easy to clean.

Great use of space
I like the design, and it is simple and great for a family of 4. I like that the vegr compartment is easy to reach. Also it is fairly easy to keep clean. Temperature controls are good. Freezer works well, i like the sliding out drawers in the freezer, makes for easy storage

WBE 5360SA - perfect fridge
Great fridge, has plenty of space. Has great functional racking which can be moved where required. Chilled water is great along with the auto ice maker .. Ice bucket holds a far amount of ice for parties. Good options for vegetables with humidity adjuster and divider. Freezer is great holds a far amount .. would highly recommend this fridge

Door Handle - Peeling
I have had this fridge for less than 12 months. Seems to work OK but the door handles which I thought were stainless steel are not, they are painted - this paint is peeling off and looks awful. I have sent emails to the people I purchased it from and customer care at electrolux and still no response at all! Must say I am not at all impressed with their customer service - Very disappointing!

Best fridge I've owned
Besides a minor freezer drawer handle snapping off, this is the best fridge I've owned. There's heaps of room, the climate controls are easy to use, everything stays cold. The stainless steel door is actually quite fingerprint resistant, especially with kids around. It's pretty quiet too, barely noticeable. Very happy with it.

Small outside, huge inside
We purchased this fridge as it was the only fridge that had a plumbed in water supply and could fit in the space we had available... which is quite a slim space.
We LOVE this fridge. It looks really good on the outside, it has loads of space inside and the shelves are really easy to clean and I love that I can see through them clearly to see what is on the shelf below it.
The ice maker is perfect for us, we love that you can fill the small tray or the entire draw with home made ice.
I can't fault this fridge :)

Love it
The perfect fridge for us. Freezer compartment on the bottom definitely provides more room than the alternative. We have owned this fridge for 3 months now and have noticed our power bill drop significantly. Very economical to run. Extremely easy to clean with a damp wipe. Haven’t heard it make any noise so quietness a definite bonus. Very happy with purchase for our small family

WORKS OK BUT LACKING IN SOME AREAS
Not overly impressed with this fridge ! We decided to buy the top mounted fridge, so the freezer is at the bottom. The crisper drawer is just not deep enough so putting bulkier items like cauliflower or broccoli is a bit of a struggle. The freezer part is ok but the drawers tend to restrict what you can put in there too. And I seem to struggle putting any taller containers in the fridge. The door handles initially kept falling off, thats been addressed and now seems ok. It operates well and seems to cool well in all areas, it is quiet and looks good. I probably wouldn't buy it again though, I regret not spending a couple of hundred dollars more and getting the Fisher and Paykel.

Perfect size fridge
Quiet fridge
Racks come out for easy cleaning.
Temperature control for both fridge and freezer it really easy to use. Ice box is a little small but average compared to others.
Comes with a wine or soft drink rake, cheese and or butter box. You can change the lay out. Which is very usefull.
I recommend this fridge for family of 4, even 5

Whistling fridge
This fridge has a great layout, maintains temperature well and keeps veggies very well in the crisper. The only unfortunate thing is, that it whistles at you when the compressor switches on which become very annoying when it's quiet. The first fridge got replaced with the same model and the second one id the same. I would never buy a Westinghouse again as their customer service was very slow and painful as well.

Excellent, no issues
Really great fridge, no issues since Jan 2015 buy. Freezer is a little small for us though. Easy to clean and wipe over. Comes with wine rack as well but you can take this off. Same with ice rack- don't have to use it eg: can take it out for winter and just use in warmer weather. Great product so far.

Fantastic fridge, great for families
Love this fridge, it looks great, it keeps good temperature. I love the pull out draws in the freezer, have loads of room for a family of 4. I like the front temperature display, its easy opening and easy to wipe finger marks off. So much easier with the bottom mount freezer to view fresh produce.

Great Fridge
Love my new bottom mount fridge.Plenty of room, adjustable shelves and the freezers drawers are roomy and so much
easier to find things than in a top mount.
Large crisper with moveable separator.
Keeps everything lovely and cool and is a very quiet fridge.Ice making is so easy.
Easy to clean and looks good.

Very pleased
I love the flexibility. Drawers and shelves can be arranged easily and many ways to suit one's needs. It is easy to clean, quiet, and efficient. Loads of space.
My only complaint..well, not really a complaint, is the crisper. You can set the humidity for veg or fruit. Sounds great but being a single drawer with a sliding divider, it has an expectation that one or the other will be in it. Rather useless to most as I believe most families store both on the crisper.

Questions & Answers
Penny46asked
Hi there, my Westinghouse WBE5314SA handles have fallen off and apart from the handle inserts all breaking and not being able to get replacements, a couple of the little black lugs which are attached to the inside of the fridge doors have snapped. I’ve been told to replace handles which will cost approx $180 even though the only thing wrong with handles is the broken inserts but you can’t replace the broken black lugs without having to purchase new doors.! I’m livid. Other fridge makers sell the door handle inserts but none would fit our handles. Very upsetting. Thought of trying to remove door skin and put a screw and washer on the inside of door but not sure how door skin is attached, whether attached with screws or glued. Worried about cracking door skin if glued. Also the fridge cyclic defrost isn’t working and I’ve been told needs a new logic board, fridge coilsare freezing up and defrost timer not working.

Hi all,
We have a Westinghouse fridge freezer Model WABE5314SA.
Just of late it has started to beep even when all the doors are closed, just
wondering if anyone may know as to what the cause of this beeping may be?
Many thanks,
Andy

How do I remove freezer drawers. Details not clear enough in manual
2 answers
Open the door fully. Lift the drawer by initially supporting and lifting up from the front corners with your hands underneath, then, holding the drawer by its sides at the top, simply lift up. The runners can be easily seen as extending ones. Pull them carefully in and out to see how they work: this should help with understanding how to remove and replace.
When replacing make sure the runners are fully out, and set the drawer down over the runners with the front end of the runners positioned as close to the front of the drawer as possible. Gently let the drawer settle onto the runners and press gently; there should be a slight click as they settle into place. Don't be heavy-handed with any pressing down. It's actually quite quick and easy once you're used to it.
Thanks for the info will try again don’t like to use any force but the runners are still very stiff.

. Unfortunately the way the handle broke was more complicated than changing the black knob, and the whole door needed to be changed. They ordered the door and arranged another time to change the door. Done, and all under warrenty. Thank you Westinghouse.
