Really Well Designed
Love the optional function drawer. Currently using it as a freezer. Well designed. Haven't yet installed the water cocoler/ice maker as we are awaiting kitchen renos.

Love This Fridge
It's a lovely big fridge where you easily see and reach everything, but the best feature I like is the middle multi-function drawer that can be a freezer or a crisper or just more fridge. I use if for storing my stubbies at exactly the right temperature without freezing. Awesome!

Great value for money..all the features of a fridge is in Westinghouse
Our previous fridge was Westinghouse and it lasted 17 years. It was still working except for the doors are no longer aligned. I trust the brand Westinghouse.. good features, value for money, and it lasts a lifetime

Great fridge!
We’ve had the Westinghouse 609L French Door Fridge for a month and absolutely love it. The water filter is super convenient, and the internal space is divided really well. Highly recommended!

Things to consider
Its 3.5 star energy rating and 485kWh estimated annual energy use are reasonable for this size, but buyers prioritising lower running costs may prefer more energy-efficient premium models.
Family suitability score
9/10 - Very strong capacity, flexible zones and easy-access storage make it well suited to larger or busy households.
Entertaining suitability
9/10 - Large storage, convertible drawer and automatic ice and water dispenser make it a practical entertainer-friendly choice.
Fresh food storage performance
8/10 - DualCooling, adjustable shelving and dedicated compartments support strong fresh food organisation and steadier conditions.
Energy efficiency vs category
6/10 - A 3.5 star rating is acceptable for this size, but not class-leading versus more energy-focused French door models.
Kitchen space fit
Best for medium-to-large kitchens with room for French door access and a plumbed water connection.

Key benefits
- 609L total capacity: Large overall storage helps households manage big weekly shops, drinks and entertaining essentials with less crowding.
- 73L FlexSpace convertible drawer: Switch between freezer, drinks, deli or produce modes to suit changing food storage needs.
- SmartSplit door design: Open one side at a time for quicker access to everyday items in busy kitchens or tighter spaces.
- DualCooling technology: Separate airflow for fridge and freezer helps maintain steadier humidity and temperature while reducing odour transfer.
- Plumbed ice and water dispenser: Delivers filtered water plus cubed or crushed ice without needing manual ice trays.
- Adjustable glass shelves: Flexible shelf layouts make it easier to fit tall bottles, platters and changing grocery loads.
- Deep baskets and SnackZone compartments: Keeps frozen foods, snacks and smaller items better organised and easier to find.
- 3.5 star energy rating: Offers moderate energy performance for a large 609L French door fridge, with estimated annual energy consumption of 485kWh.
Q: Does this fridge need plumbing for ice and water?
A: Yes. WHE6170SB has a plumbed automatic ice and water dispenser, so it needs a connected water line for filtered water plus cubed or crushed ice. It is not a refillable tank design, which matters if your kitchen has no nearby water point.
Q: Can the middle drawer switch between freezer and drinks modes?
A: Yes. The 73L FlexSpace drawer can switch between freezer, drinks, deli or produce modes, so it can take pressure off the main fridge or freezer as needs change. It works as one selected zone at a time, not multiple temperatures in the same drawer.
Q: Is the WHE6170SB expensive to run for a large fridge?
A: Westinghouse WHE6170SB has a 3.5 star energy rating and estimated annual energy use of 485kWh. For a 609L French door fridge, that suits a large-capacity model, but total power use will still be higher than a smaller fridge.
Q: Can you open just one door at a time?
A: Yes. The SmartSplit door design lets you open one side without swinging both doors, which helps with quick access in busy kitchens or tighter walkways. It does not make the cabinet itself smaller, so the fridge still needs space for a full-size French door model.
Q: Will separate cooling reduce odours between fridge and freezer?
A: Yes. DualCooling uses separate airflow for the fridge and freezer, which helps reduce odour transfer and supports steadier humidity and temperature in each section. It helps keep the zones more distinct, but it does not make either compartment convertible.
Q: Does the dispenser give cubed and crushed ice?
A: Yes. The automatic dispenser provides filtered water and both cubed and crushed ice from the door, so it is set up for everyday use rather than manual ice trays. Because it is plumbed, the dispenser depends on a connected water line.
