Westinghouse 280L Top Mount

The freezer works and the main section of the fridge works. However, it isn’t cold enough in the door and doesn’t keep milk cold. I contacted Westinghouse. The first person was helpful, said it needed to be fixed or replaced. The second person said no; she “couldn’t see that there was a problem.” She told me it was my fault, that my kitchen window lets sun in, and that I OPEN THE FRIDGE DOOR. It has been tinkered with by repairs and is bearable but not as cold as my previous fridge. Sometimes I put freezer blocks next to the milk. For something that costs a chunk or money, this is not good enough. My previous fridge, a Westinghouse, was fantastic; I had it for years. Don’t know why this doesn’t work as well.

This review is for the white 280 liter WTB2800WG model. I bought this since it was the biggest that could fit into the small space in my kitchen - the others were 230l or so.

Advantages:
- door shelves are adjustable and removable for easy cleaning
- quiet
- decent energy star rating (3.5)

Disadvantages:
- egg holder holds 8 eggs (weird number...)
- more expensive than average for its capacity
- fridge door conversion kit costs ~$40 extra, while some brands you can do it without extra parts you have to buy

I had to buy this fridge after my Samsung burned out, which I wasn't very happy about! Luckily the Westinghouse has had no problems. Great for a 1-2 person household. It's also easy to keep clean. The only downside I'll note is the lack of vertical space for things like bottles; however the flexible drawer configuration comes in handy as space can be made in the door for them.

We needed a second fridge for the garage (wife was sick of seeing my fishing bait in the kitchen fridge). Decided to go with the Westinghouse. Had Westinghouse fridges previously without any issues. Ordered the fridge through an on-line retailer and was delivered a few days later. Sadly checked the contents a few days later, items in the freezer were thawing and fridge was only down to 8 degrees C. Rang the service line, got asked all the obvious questions, had the GE technician out 2 days later. Verdict - DOA. He organised a replacement which arrived a 4 days later, and fingers crossed... this one is fine so far. Nice and quiet, good freezer space, even better once I ditched the ice cube trays, should do the job nicely.

I bought this fridge between Christmas and new years and has done well so far.
I use it as an outside beer fridge so have it set to almost its coldest setting and keeps the beer nice and cold, and the dog food too.
No issues with noise because it's outside.
The only issue I have is that it take quite a while to get warm drinks to a drinkable temperature, but I guess thats what happens in all fridges.
Excellent value for money.
