Why is my Westinghouse WHE6000SA Refrigerator ice maker not working?
- S
  Steven SchneiderAug 26, 2025
  If the ice maker in your Westinghouse Refrigerator isn't producing ice or enough ice, make sure the refrigerator is plugged into a working power outlet and switched on. Verify that the water is connected, turned on, and the line isn't kinked. Ensure the ice maker is turned on via the user interface. Check that the water filter isn't blocked or expired, and confirm the water supply flow rate is adequate. If the freezer is too warm, refer to the 'freezer is too warm' solutions and wait 24 hours. Turn the unit off at the mains for 2 minutes, then back on to reset the icemaker; check again after 24 hours. Lastly, ensure there's no obstruction under the ice maker and that the ice bin is correctly fitted.

Why is the exterior of my Westinghouse Refrigerator warm?
- R
  ricardobanksSep 2, 2025
  If the exterior of your Westinghouse Refrigerator is warm or hot to the touch, ensure the appliance has the recommended external clearances. This is normal, as the appliance transfers heat from the inside out through the outer panels and the divider between the doors.

Why does the ice or water from my Westinghouse WHE6000SA Refrigerator taste bad?
- J
  James SwansonSep 9, 2025
  If the ice or water from your Westinghouse Refrigerator has a bad odor or taste, cover food to prevent the ice from absorbing odors. Check if the water filter is out of date. Consider cleaning the inside of the appliance or the ice bin. Discard old ice monthly to allow the ice maker to produce a fresh supply.
