Just right for our family!

published

As well as being a lovely big size this frig does all we ask of it - plenty of room in the freezer as well as frig compartment, quiet, keeps everything nice and cold and is very easy to clean. Can get large trays in as well.
My only complaint would be that we need to remove the door shelves to take the crisper out to clean.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful Fridge

published

Beautiful fridge purchased from Harvey Norman very quiet and spacious. Looks very sturdy. Just wish the ice cube tray was a bit bigger and there's no meat tray. Bought on boxing day sale the fridge wasn't discounted so I had to haggle price from $1588 down to $1400 plus a $150 cash back from Westinghouse. Then $50 for delivery which brings price to $1300 incl delivery. Really annoyed me when I saw the price the following week at the good guys for $1250 plus get a $100 pay less card grrrr.

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

Can you please tell me how many watts this fridge is please.

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.
