Perfect and comfortable to use

published

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

published

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.

Perfect, quiet

published

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!

published

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.

WBE 5360SA - perfect fridge

published

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

published

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

published

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

published

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

published

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

published

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

published

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

published

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

published

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.

Very pleased

published

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.

WBE5314SA

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

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.
