Fridge is good but water dispenser is keep leaking and water is dripping from day one. We have bool technician they visit and refit the dispenser but same issue.
Not worths to spend extra money for water dispenser and it will keep leaking.

At a glance
This 492L French door refrigerator is a practical mid-range choice for families wanting flexible storage, chilled water, and quiet day-to-day operation. It is well suited to standard kitchen spaces and bulk grocery loads thanks to its adjustable interior. Key strengths are layout flexibility, a non-plumbed water dispenser, and inverter cooling. One limitation is that the icemaker is manual rather than automatic.

Key benefits
- 492l total capacity: Gives families useful room for weekly groceries across 306L of fridge space and 186L of freezer space.
- Adjustable glass shelves: Lets you reconfigure the fridge more easily for taller bottles, platters, or changing grocery loads.
- Full-width drawers: Helps store larger produce, deli items, or party trays with less wasted space.
- Rearrangeable door bins: Makes it easier to fit bulk containers and everyday items where you want them.
- Non-plumbed water dispenser: Provides chilled water from a 2L refillable tank without needing a plumbing connection.
- Twist and serve icemaker: Gives you simple manual ice making and release whenever needed.
- Inverter compressor: Helps maintain a steadier internal temperature and supports quieter operation.
- 4 star energy rating: Delivers solid category efficiency with estimated annual energy use of 395kWh.
Q: Will this fridge fit a standard 1800mm high kitchen cavity
A: Yes, in many standard 1800mm high fridge cavities. Westinghouse WQE4960BA is 1780mm high and 836mm wide, so the main check is having enough width and clearance for the French doors and drawers to open comfortably.
Q: Does the water dispenser need plumbing or a tap connection
A: No. Westinghouse WQE4960BA uses a non-plumbed water dispenser with a 2L refillable tank, so it does not connect to household water. That makes placement simpler, but chilled water depends on keeping the tank topped up manually.
Q: Is the twist and serve icemaker automatic or manual
A: It is manual, not automatic. The twist and serve icemaker makes ice in the freezer and you release it by twisting the mechanism when the cubes are ready, so there is no plumbed water line and no automatic ice refill.
Q: How much freezer space do you get for family bulk buys
A: Westinghouse WQE4960BA gives you 186L of freezer space. That suits a family stock-up shop, batch-cooked meals and everyday frozen staples, but the icemaker takes some room because it sits inside the freezer compartment.
Q: How quiet is the inverter compressor in an open-plan kitchen
A: Westinghouse WQE4960BA uses an inverter compressor, which is designed to keep temperature steadier with quieter day-to-day operation. It suits many open-plan kitchens, but it is still a full-size fridge, so some operating noise is normal.
Q: Can the shelves and door bins be moved for platters
A: Yes. The adjustable glass shelves and rearrangeable door bins can be moved to create taller or wider spaces. That helps when storing platters, bottles or bulk groceries, though changing one area reduces space somewhere else in the fridge.
Q: What does the honeycomb deodoriser filter do in daily use
A: It helps absorb strong food odours inside the fridge, which can keep the interior smelling fresher between cleans. It is an odour-control feature, not a freshness guarantee, so uncovered foods can still transfer smells over time.
