Westinghouse WTB5400WA (540L, White) (page 2 of 2)

This fridge fits most kitchens and caters for our family of five...was a bit pushed on Chrissy day. When its quiet at night I do notice its a little noisy but cannot notice it during the day. A good value, basic and reliable fridge. Stainless steel was an extra $100 dollars so I went with the white which looks great in my white kitchen.

I have recently went and bought a refrigerators and when I looked at this Westinghouse model it looked the perfect size that may be needed for a growing family the top freezer section has it's own thermometer for your different foods and is very roomy, the fridge itself has crisper draws and door space is variable to accommodate different size bottles, the glass shelves are strong and easy to clean, this whole refrigerator would be an excellent buy. I looked into the good guys and Electrical wholesalers that delivery was included but bargain for the price you want to pay, not what they want I Did. Westinghouse is a very good Brand.

Our refrigerator was purchased from the Good Guys. It runs perfectly and It maintains perfect temperature in all compartments, particularly the vegetable keeper which has been a problem for us in other fridges (freezing veges). It is barely perceptible to hear. The ice maker/storage unit is so simple and well planned that I think all fridges should have one..

Very roomy & quite. The glass shelves are strong and as it's a work fridge holds 18 x 2lt bottles of milk with ease.
The glass shelves are easy to clean. Width is perfect for large catering platters. This fridge is opened over 100 times a day and temperaure is always maintained.
The freezer section is also roomy. With so many staff members wanting to sotre frozen food there is plenty of room to accomodate.

We are reasonably happy with our fridge - the crisper tray at the bottom is extremely hard to push in & out. I don't think it's faulty it's just that we never pulled the tray in & out before buying. Maybe it performs differently when fully loaded, I'm not sure. It also had no light in the freezer section. It isn't common to have a light in the freezer but our last one did so we got used to having one :(

Good fridge good to maintaine bought at the end of the year as the old fridge stopped working huge capacity large freezer space easy to clean and maintaine never had any issues with it the freezer keeps everything at the correct temp easy to defrost large egg tray and lockable shelf in the door

My Westinghouse fridges have lasted me for years with minimal services or breakdowns. This one is no different, lasting a kitchen refurb then a interstate move.
Quiet, cheap to run and no stains even with the occasional beetroot spills.
Seals are still in good order and hinges still in tact even after the occasional child swing.

Good fridge as in keeping temp and the running cost. However the set out of the shelving and plastic compartments makes the fridge size smaller, the right side door lockable compartment is silly as it doesn't open right up and would easily be broken if used daily. The meat compartment tray is a waste of a shelf and is also flimsy

I find the top mount freezer easier to use and the refrigerator works extremely well on Medium Cool, as does the Freezer. Freezer keeps ice-cream just perfect. Recommend as price very good too ...around $1600.

The problem with the opening and closing of the crisper drawer is a real pain - is there a fix? Also to NON SELF-CLOSING door is a pain in the backside as well. It is quiet and cools effectively and so far not hard to clean but the above problem is a real bad one. Would NOT recommend the fridge to anyone...

Great fridge but whats with the crisper draw, its a pain to open and then you get it out and the draw falls off the runners.. then to get it back it its a two handed juggle..
Maybe I'm just unlucky but i have looked at it and tried everything to get it to work..
Not happy..

We purchased ours last year had it for less that 12 months and already it has faulted. The freezer section has iced over forcing the fan to stop after i defrosted it the fan started again but every time it comes on it sounds like a lawnmower in the kitchen i can't find out online how to fix it disappointing that i Already have to replace it. Though it is a nice looking fridge and has served is function up until now..i lost all the meat from the freezer once the fan stopped everything stayed to defrost. .with 6 kids having no freezer is not an option

Purchased just released model as a replacement for an earlier reliable, user friendly and importantly, Australian made 2-door Westinghouse fridge (WTM5200WB). Findings:

Quietly maintains temperatures economically BUT..
**User accessibility needs overlooked
Difficult to open and close doors not self closing
Cleaning unhygienic stippled paint difficult & rust promoting
Freezer-door tray size reduced, 2 Crisper trays combined now
Imported – not Australian.
