Not too bad

published

The fridge works fine, but the handles broke a couple of months after usage. It weren't the handles themselves but the pedestals inside the handle which are made of bad quality plastic. I found on internet a complete handle kit to replace which costs about 190$. I won't pay that money to replace only those plastic pieces. Sent an email to Electrolux and still waiting for an answer to find the proper replacement.

WBE5314SA-R door handles

published

The door handle posts on our WBE5314SA fridge have broken, I rang Westinghouse and was told that the posts could not be purchased separatly and I had to buy the 2 handles at a cost of about $180.00 I think it is unreasonable to have to pay for the handles when I only need 2 posts.

Handles are crap, keep popping off now broken

published

Used for almost 2 years. Handles constantly pop off and now freezer handle foot has broken and I can't find a replacement. Wouldn't recommend Westinghouse. Have had others with bad experiences with this fridge also. Draw fronts don't hold tight and pull off also

great space and reliable - just the handles are weak

published

watch the handles they are weak but Westinghouse replaced mine even whilst out of warranty. currently can only buy the complete handle set for about $180. they are going to start supplying the pedal stool only which is just a screw on item (plastic and breaks easy)

Noisy

published

Have had this fridge now for three months. The style and refrigeration efficiency is good, however when in operation it sounds like a Jet Aircraft, the design of the fan desperately needs looking at. Other family members have got different brand fridges same size or larger and you would not even know they are running

Beeping when door shut and no longer cold

published

purchased this fridge October 2016 and now it is no longer cold and keeps beeping when the door is shut! Freezer not cold either, it’s not even 3 years old and have had to throw out so much food! Spoke with Electrolux and we are 5 months out of the 2 year warranty and now it will cost me $145 for them to come out and just look at it! Then labour and parts on top of that! Not happy at all!

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.

Great use of space

published

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

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.

Have given review with 5 stars now 1 star

published

Wish i could edit my 1st post from 5star to 1(above review) 1582 veiws. After a year and a half my fridge is playing up, it keeps beeping and the doors are shut properly the fridge part stopped working took out alot of food and left it for a few hours got cold again was not even full to start with, now has stopped again in the same day randomly beeping press temp button stops beeping, then starting a few minutes later i am extremely disappointed and have had to throw out alot of food. I have 3 children my 1 & 2 year old that depend on the milk thats in the fridge for their bottles through the night. Westinghouse wont help only offer for me to pay for someone to fix whatever the problem may be.

So far, it is good!

published

We bought it last year August from the good guys with 100 dollar cash back and so far it is working well. It is reasonable priced and with reasonable size for a small family. the only problem is one of the freezer drawer is a bit loose but it is okay for me. I like the grey stainless door so overall it is a good fridge.

Overall great Fridge

published

Bought the fridge from Harvey Norman and working great so far. Cooling is awesome and each compartment get properly cooled. Changing the temperature on the freezer as well as the top fridge is very easy. The wine rack inside is a great feature. Ample of space to store your groceries and other stuff.

Terrible cheap made fridge

published

Had the fridge 9 months and it stopped working. The tech had a look at it and said it had completely iced up which is caused by humid days or leaving the door open for to long. The door was never left open but we are experiencing some very humid weather. Now we have to leave a FROST FREE fridge defrost for 2 days . Very poor customer service they do nothing at all to help .

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

There should be a label inside the fridge somewhere with all its specification details on it. A magnifying lens might be useful to read the very small print. Somewhere within it should state tohe wattage. Or, go to the manufacturer's website.
