Westinghouse WBM5100PA / WBM5100SA / WBM5100WB / WBM5100SB
WBM5100WB (510L, White), WBM5100SA (510L, Stainless Steel), WBM5100PA (510L, Pacific Silver), WBM5100SB (510L, Stainless Steel)This is the worst Westinghouse fridge freezer design of all time... Drawers fall apart continuously!
I have used Westinghouse appliances exclusively my home for 20 years and this freezer drawer arrangement is terrible...when I rang the service department about it they told me I had to buy new drawer runners and put them together myself!!! The drawers fall off the runners and it is very difficult to attach them again...so very disappointed!!!

WESTINGHOUSE FRIDGE
I love this fridge having the freezer drawers on the bottom because there's plenty of room and the fridge shelves can be adjusted for larger items such as roast pork, turkey, etc. Best fridge I've ever had.

Beautiful addition to my home
Easy to clean, very quiet, keeps frozen food at right temperature. I love the ease with which you can remove handles when fridge was delivered, which also allows you to remove to clean under handles. It is an elegant fridge with lots more inside space compared to my 15 year old fridge it replaced

Fridge Not Cold Enough
My review is based on model number WBM5100WB – R.
Our fridge is only 3 years old and worked well until late last week it when it didn't stay cold enough.
We put the thermometer in the fridge for 3 days with the setting on full cold and the temperature has risen to 12C inside the fridge.
Three years before a fridge develops problems like this is not good enough. Buyer beware.

Not cold enough!!!!
Nice looking fridge but doesn't get cold enough !!! We think the food has gone off since we bought it in the last 4 days. We had the thermometer in the fridge for 3 days on full cold and it only got to 4.8 degrees. We have had Westinghouse in the past and have been very happy and the one down stairs still works like to trooper except the shelves have broken over the last 20 years.

Can't get it cold enough
I have had my new frige replaced as it didn't get cold enough. The second new fridge they replaced it with is exactly the same. They say no one has complained about it before? I am not happy as I had previously had a bottom mount westing house which lasted over 15 years. Not a problem with that one till it wore out. Not impressed Westinghouse. The place I had purchased it from are doing there best but I'm starting to get the run around.

Westinghouse WBE4300 - awful - would never buy again!!
Have had this fridge for just over two years and over weekend discovered it had hundreds on small rust spots over both doors! Rang Westinghouse customer service to complain and was told that it was out of warranty and I'd have to pay $140 to have someone come out and assess it. Told them I shouldn't be liable for re cost of a technician coming out when it was obviously a manufacturing fault. Told me there was nothing they could do. Refused to put me through to a supervisor. Terrible product and terrible customer service. Buyer beware - do not buy this brand!!!
Cheap stainless steel, pathetic customer service

Good When it Worked
As Murphy would have it our 'new' fridge failed on Christmas Eve. It was not cold anymore and the temperature had risen to 16C inside the fridge. With the weekend and public holidays that meant the service guy would not be able to come for 5 days. Bad luck about the timing as Christmas to New Year is not a good time.
The good news was that this fridge had a 2 year warranty and it packed it in 6 weeks shy of that.
So the service guy comes and looks at it and says the sealed refrigeration system has failed and it has lost gas and the frid...Read more
ge will need to be replaced. Electrolux ( that's who owns Westinghouse), says we don't have one in stock and we will call you when we do. A week passes and I call them and they say well still none should be as week. Then another week.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Westinghouse Fridge Good Guys
First fridge scratched and dented back
Second replacement dented back and scratch
Third replacement had a dented side.
Fourth replacement bubbled paint and over heated and defected areas were sprayed including black feet.
Fifth replacement they hit the wall and chipped the corner while delivering.
Its not very cold.
Takes too long to cool drinks.
Takes too long to cool things after fridge is opened.

Be wary of sealed system warranty.
My WBM5100WB has worked well for three years until recently when it didn't stay cold enough/ran too much and ice blocked the freezer fan. Electrolux phone support said it was out of warranty except for parts for the sealed system. The serviceman said the problem was with the sealed system but it was not worth repairing and I needed a replacement fridge. The costs of the labour/return freight to service centre/re-gas/fortnight without a fridge all add up to make make the sealed system warranty useless, at least in a rural area. This is a $1900 ...Read more
fridge that's 3 years old! I'm not sure what the statutory warranty deal is but believe a fridge should last longer than 3 years before needing replacement. Incidentally, my 17 year old Westinghouse cyclic defrost in the shed is still going strong(which is why I bought WH again). I prefer to buy Australian made but perhaps it's time to rethink. Bottom mount better for knees Sealed system warranty useless.2 comments

But will it out-last an Admiral?
My review is based on model number - WBM5100WB – R. The interior appearance, of the freezer section has no wire baskets, but deep clear plastic bins including 3 ice cube trays and with fruit and vegetable bins equally sized.
My purchase of a Westinghouse in 2008 came with much deliberation when my 17 year old Admiral 410L Top Mount fridge freezer was looking unsightly from the exterior rust. It was a cosmetic decision rather than through necessity, as it was, and still is working efficiently to date. (Repainted and ready for summer...)

iven there are but two of us which cater for the occasional party (15 Adults), I went up to a 510L Bottom Mount door configuration, vowing never to bend down as much again like with my old model. And upon research I discovered they don’t make these appliances like they used to… Crisper drawers, hinged shelf, Water jug etc. all give way to glass for extra cleaning and shelves that don’t adjust well to today’s product sizes! How creative is it, to sketch a design on paper with no practical thought towards the consumer! Although I wrestled with the challenge to stack and place items another way, in the end I didn’t compromise my valuable fridge space due this designer flaw. Albeit everyone’s idea on packing shelves and purchase of groceries is different… To date, I enjoy my Westinghouse simply because; I don’t have to bend down as much and hope it will out perform my Admiral of 21 years...Similar opinion?

Excellent
RRP was about $1900 but I managed to get it for $1380. Extra 3 years of warranty through Westinghouse was about $90, and I wish I had known as I paid $140 in store. Live and learn. It has behaved itself so far, and it meets our needs, so I'd buy one again.
Well, it was actually the WBM5100WB, but let's not split hairs. Nice and quiet. Large. Actually worked straight out of the box unlike the Fischer and Paykel I nearly bought (thanks to all the people on ieatwords for saving me from that one). Make sure you have someone to help you g...Read more

Apparently you can get them through Harvey Norman or outlets but they are expensive and design still the same
