We had this installed about 4 years ago. We had to replace the light bulbs about 2-3 times since. About 6 months ago, the light switch broke. The switch would stayed down (on) anymore when you press it. What is wrong with most white good manufacturers now days? They expect us to throw away appliances every few years. This is at best, a case of environment vandalism and should be outlawed by governments if manufacturers don't get their acts together. I expected a lot more quality control and social responsibility from Westinghouse!

At almost 6 years of age our range hood made a very loud cracking sound threw a spark and blew the light. We replaced the globe to no avail. Unfortunately our rather expensive Westinghouse gas oven blew the ignition box a few months before. We rang a gas plumber who said that Westinghouse is rubbish. I'm saddened that Westinghouse has really gone down in quality.

We have had our westinghouse wrj900us rangehood for 2 years and 2 weeks. 3 nights ago it made a loud cracking sound and shot out a spark. It also blew power to our whole house. We bought new bulbs as they both blew but now lights wont work at all. Had a burnt out socket as well. After looking at reviews it seems i am not the only one to be duped into a faulty product. After contacting westinghouse we have been advised that they will cover the repair but we have to pay the technicians travel of $135 travel expense to travel less the 50kms to fix the faulty rangehood. Just checking prices and reviews now to see if it is worth fixing it going for a different brand. Do not but this unit and be caught out like myself and many others.

I'm an electrician and was called out to a clients house to look at their range hood. It made a big cracking noise and flashed and the lights stopped working. I found the circuit board to have blown. The fan however still works. This seems to be a common problem and when I tried to purchase the circuit board, was told I had to purchase the entire assembly worth $150. A new range hood I can purchase for $250. Unhappy customer. Unhappy sparky. No lights. 0416106624

We have had 2 of these units and both have blown the circuit board. The latest one was purchased 12/8/13
Just over 2 years and obviously out of warranty. We don't use every time hotplate is on as is noisy so sometimes
just use for the light. But blew when turned on last time.
Last time we will buy Westinghouse, the quality not like it used to be.

My range hood is white. A pretty good fixed unit. Easy to clean. Had it installed with the flute going through the ceiling and out of the roof. Filters simple to clean and take off and on. It is a bit noisy but what range hood is not. The motor would have to be in the roof for it to be quiet.
Did I say easy to clean? The filters are but not the fan blades and housing. One must remove the screws but one screw is located at the back. You have to own a right-angled screw driver to remove that one.

The little symbols above the push buttons rub off easily.
