Reliable Fridge - Design Improvements Needed
I'm certainly happy with this fridge, but I think some points could be improved.
The fridge compartment has a lot of space and its very flexible. You can move the internal shelves around, and the door shelves come in several parts that allow you to move them around to positions that suit you. You also have the option to adjust the division in the crisper drawer. The lockable compartment is a nice touch for medications that you wouldn't want kids to get into etc.
It's easy to set the temperatures and very user-friendly, and the lighting in th...Read more

Hasn't stopped yet
Had the fridge for 1 year so far and it has been a set and forget experience. Very low power usage compared to my older fridge of 7 yrs. Only gripe would be with the design of the freezer, with all the compartments and ice drawer it really reduces usable space.

Very reliable
Everything fits perfect. Good on electricity and very quiet. I like the fact the freezer is on the lower level. I will recommend this product to all my friends and family.

Huge and Shiny
Was going to buy a Haier fridge but after seeing the width will only allow 5mm on each sides, I decided to get this Westinghouse which will have 3cm on each sides (the space in my son's kitchen only 800mm width. And its has bottom freezer and a compact ice maker which my son love. I had many Westinghouse fridges before, so I better stick to one and have a very good discount before spending more than $3G at The Good Guys. It has simple front design, the ONLY drawback its come only on Right Hand opening so if your fridge cavity is on your left than taking eggs out to the cooking bench you have to close the door first but for its sleek and white design plus plenty of space inside I am ok with it.

Decent fridge
Good points:
Reasonably quiet. You must take the time to level the fridge or at least change the level to avoid a bad vibration from the compressor against the body of the fridge.
Freezer is below fridge, good design.
Well lit.
Bad points ...Read more
In hot weather the fridge does not equalise the internal pressure very quickly after opening. This results in a door that won't open if you try to reopen the door within 3 minutes.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Nice fridge
My first upside down style fridge and I do like it. Previously owned side by side Westinghouse which I found the fridge component to narrow so I really like having a full width fridge. I wish the lower end models came with a water dispenser as this was one thing I really wanted but compromised on.
The fridge lighting is awesome. The door compartments very spacious and flexible compared to some others I was looking at.
For the price, the styling and practicality is spot on.
Negatives mainly being the fruit & veg compartment - compared to my ...Read more

product is really loud
The fridge is really loud and gets worse and worse. Rang the tech service a few month after purchase, they came and told us it was normal, the second time rang Westinghouse up, they would like place charge on us as it is over the 2 year warranty even there is history and record of previous service (nothing was done, 'second opinion required' ). After 2 years the noise, of the fridge became unbearable, not recommended. Westinghouse service team is also hard to get contacted, waiting time on the call is way too long.

A Very Good Purchase
This fridge freezer is just the right size for a family of two. There are adequate and usefully designed compartments. The ice crusher is a useful feature. Some reviews complained it was noisy but I have not found it so.

Great Fridge
Purchased this fridge as it was the only fridge that would fit into the space we had, every other fridge would stick out to much, the white makes it super easy to clean, there is plenty of room and is easy to switch the shelves around. The freezer compartment has the most room to other freezers I've used and the compartments make it easy to organise all your frozen goods!

Love it!
I would buy this product again if I need to buy one more. It is working alright, easy to use it and easy to clean. It is sturdy and quiet enough. I like it most because fridge is up and freezer is bottom. It is so efficient! Don't need to bend every time to use fridge. It is awesome!

Worth every cent
This works really well at keeping the food that I need chilled at the right temperature. There's lots of storage space and also it makes no sound at all when on. Getting this fridge has been a great change as it can keep everything at the optimum temperature which is especially great in this current summer heat!

Great product, nothing to complain
Moving to a new apartment and need the fridge to fit into the existing "hole". Went to The good guys eBay and bought this big boy from there. Delivery was fast and friendly. The fridge works perfectly. It is not a fridge with inverter compressor but the noise during compressor working is acceptable even in a apartment.

Wide...spacious and working perfectly
I got a second-hand piece and works perfectly fine. It wide enough to store something big than regular size and trays have extra heights in the compartment with separate room for storing butter and eggs which is a bit funny though. The cooler is also good and instantly makes ice and gets beer cold in no time.

Great fridge
Love this fridge . Love that the fridge part is on top and freezer is at the bottom.easy to clean
Shelves that are on the door are roomy. Freezer looks small but actually holds a lot. Would highly recommend Westinghouse
Love the deep shelves
My only negative is that I have to keep milk on the door, to stand on a shelve I would lose height on the lower shelf giving not much room, but storing milk in the door it keeps cold

Keeps freezing
I have had problems with this fridge freezing fruit and vegies. The technician has been out 4 times and cant find a fault. It is on recommended settings and i cover the veggies with a towel as advised and still the problem persists. It is very noisy at times. I have also noticed things in the freezer are not always fully frozen.

Upside down has advantages
We bought this fridge as my wife has back and hip problems and was getting frustrated at having to bend down to get common items out of the fridge. She is very happy with the convenience of having this fridge at eye level. The fridge however does sometimes get quite noisy which is a bit of a disappointment otherwise it has been a good buy. The freezer at the bottom have draws which is convenient for seperating food groups and makes for easy access.

Questions & Answers
Daveasked
I bought the WBE4500WA in June 2016. I had no problems until about 10 days ago. The fridge compartment got warm. I called a local repair person. He took out the plate at the back of the freezer and used a heat gun to melt the ice on the coil - about one third of the coil was iced up. He said it could happen again in a few days or it might not happen again for a year. Six days later the fridge compartment was warm again. We took off the plate at the back of the freezer and melted the ice with a hairdryer. Fridge cooled down again. The repair person said that it could be any one of a number of things and he could change them all one by one but despite this the problem could still recur.
So it looks as if we'll have to buy another fridge as there is no point paying for repairs if the problem may not be fixed. It won't be a Westinghouse after this experience.
I think it is quite ridiculous that a fridge should fail so soon. Our neighbours also had problems with Westinghouse fridges - had 2 or 3 that had problems soon after purchase and ended up buying another brand.
We bought our first fridge-freezer in 1981 - a Kelvinator. We had it for 17 years and it was still working fine. We only changed it because we were moving and my husband thought that the move might affect the fridge so we got rid of it. Then we had just a small bar fridge for about 4 to 6 years - no problems. In the early 2000s we bought a second hand Westinghouse from friends who were moving. We had no problems with it at all. We only got rid of it because I have back and hip problems and I wanted a bottom mount fridge. We gave the old Westinghouse to a local op shop.
