Great Fridge

published

Very quiet and energy efficient model. I hope this particular model lasts us a long time as it replaced a lemon of a fridge we had previously that ending up costing us thousands in repairs over the years. Heaps of compartment space and large freezer. We have four people and there is still ample room for more food and drinks.

Great Fridge! Really spacious

published

Very easy to clean up spills and lots of room in drawers for fruit and cheese. Doors have lots of room for bottles of all sizes espcially large milk bottles and champagne bottles. Great fridge for families as it has space for everything. Love the white blends in well with my kitchen.

Keeps food cold!

published

This fridge is a godsend! We recently upgraded from a very old an unreliable box, and we have noticed immediate improvements. Some smart features such as the drinks chilling feature for the freezer with an alarm so you don't forget! Good lighting and great seals keeps my food cold and fresh for longer.

Very Good

published

Super easy to clean, the temperature is very good and easy to use, especially being in Melbourne when the weather is hot it's hot and when it's cold it's cold we can alter the temperature and also when we go away on holiday we can put on power save. It is really quiet. I wanted to buy a double door but it couldn't fit in my kitchen so this was the next best one and it is fabulous to use.

Westinghouse 529L Bottom Mount Refrigerator WBE5314SA-R

published

Our 30 year old Westinghouse fridge finally died. Replaced it with a new Westinghouse Bottom Mount fridge. Large interior fridge capacity. Glass helves easy to clean. Like the bottle rack to store our water bottles, soft drink etc..Lots of light in the fridge. The freezer at the bottom is fantastic, except the pull-out drawers use up some space therefore smaller than our standard old, top-mount fridge. Can't just chuck in food to freeze - need to place it in and if I find a spot for it.... Learning to adapt. I noticed some of my food freezes slightly when stored right at the back of the fridge. Not very happy. Not sure if it's faulty.

Bit disappointed. Very loud.

published

Bought this as wanted a huge fridge with LH hinge door which are few and far between. Have had for a couple of weeks now and so far am a bit disappointed.
The main thing, which has been mentioned already, is the noise of this thing. WOW the compressor running is LOUD! It probably runs maybe 1/3 of the time but it's definitely very noticeable. And this is coming from an old 20 odd year old Phillips fridge that served us well and was whisper quiet compared to this thing.
I really don't know how this issue could be passed OK and the fridge developed and manufactured with this.
Apart from this issue, everything else is great. Looks good with plenty of room and features.

Warranty

published

: Temperature is great no problems
: Quiet
: Easy to clean

Warranty: Older brand had problems with the freezer rubber seal not sealing. When the service technician came out he was great and did not take their time fixing it. I received a brand new model under warranty. Westinghouse was very helpful when waiting for fridge to arrive when asking questions.

Also 7 months old & stopped working

published

Bought new on August 24 2016 and stopped working 4 days ago, alarms beeping and no longer cold. I've had 5 Westinghouse fridges over 30 years and never had problems like this one, lots of food in bin now, obviously this is a known fault and must be rectified immediately. Now awaiting tech to come in another 2 days

7 month's old and not working

published

I liked the fridge until it stopped working. The fridge started beeping a week ago and I noticed the freezer had defrosted, the next day the fridge stopped working. Wednesday a repair mam came out and aboard it was the compressor. Still waiting on part, no spare appointments to repair it this week, so will have to wait until next week. Two weeks without a fridge, not what you expect for a relately new fridge from a supposedly good brand. Very unhappy.

Great fridge

published

My new bottom mount fridge was only delivered today and I'm already delighted with it. The temperature is well balanced throughout and it's quiet and doesn't make "klunking" noises like my old fridge. The shelves are very easy to access and easy to clean and I'm more than happy with it.

Very noisy and runs excessivly

published

Very upset with this fridge. Very noisy when it runs. It runs for 50min and off for 20min. Complained to Harvey Norman within 12 hours asking for refund. They said no and suggested to get a tech out and said it would cost $140 if there was nothing wrong. Would not recommended this fridge, this one is crap. Harvey Norman after sales extremely disappointing. I wanted to replaced it with something else within 24 hours. Big mistake buying it. Noise is LOUD.

I would recommend this fridge to everyone.

A Great Value Large Capacity Fridge/Freezer

published

Fridge: Great Lighting, Access, Temp Control, Shelving, Compartments, Capacity and is reasonably quite... no complaints
Freezer: Well Organised compartments. Only minor issue is the ice maker, doesn't really work that well.
If you want a no frills unit that looks good, is simple (less to go wrong), with excellent capacity; I believe this is it!

Quiet, large capacity, minor issues

published

Large capacity, quite fridge, with well thought out configuration. Freezer on bottom, with large draws works well. The inbuilt ice tray keeps getting stuck. The internal plastics are a bit flimsy and have cracked, after accidentally dropping some objects in fridge. Reasonable fridge for the money.

Stylish, good looking and user friendly

published

We had a white Fridge Freezer with the freezer at the top and although not a bad machine, with a family of 5 and constant doors opening and closing, one day the door just came off the side. We bought the Westinghouse WBE5300SA at Bingle. We were pleased with the service and we've now had the fridge /freezer for about 3 month and almost every day my wife says how happy she is with it and glad we chose this one.
As far as I am concerned, if after 36 years of marriage and grown up kids still leaving at home and my wife says she is happy with anything, then you can bet your bottom dollar its a good thing. So This is a good machine.

Brilliant LED lighting! And Excellent design

published

This Westinghouse model really delivers on practicality of design from the clever wine storage/ bottle rack to the adjustable crisper drawer at waist height! Led lighting means everything is visible and accessible. Just brilliant! It boasts 3 generous freezer drawers and easy to clean spill proof glass shelves. A winner!

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

Kate

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.
