  If your Westinghouse Refrigerator's ice maker isn't producing ice, here's what to check: * Ensure the ice maker is turned on. For the fresh food ice maker, press the ice maker on-off button once. * Verify the refrigerator is connected to the water line and the water valve is open. * Make sure the water supply line isn't kinked, especially after pushing the refrigerator against the wall. * Remove and reinstall the water filter, ensuring it's fully seated in the locked position. * If water dispenses slowly or not at all, or if the filter is six months old or older, replace the water filter.

  If your Westinghouse Refrigerator ice maker isn't producing enough ice, consider the following: * The ice maker produces approximately 1 kg of ice every 24 hours, depending on usage. * Replace the water filter if water dispenses slower than normal or if the filter is six months old or older. * Ensure the water supply line isn't kinked when the refrigerator is pushed against the wall. * If you have a well system, have someone turn up the cut-off and cut-on pressure on the water pump system. * If you have a reverse osmosis system, it's normal for it to be below 137 kPa (20 psi) during the regenerative phase.

How to stop ice cubes from freezing together in my Westinghouse WQE6870SA?
- A
  allison07Aug 28, 2025
  If ice cubes in your Westinghouse Refrigerator are freezing together, try these solutions: * Remove the ice container and discard the ice. The ice maker will then produce a fresh supply. Use ice at least twice weekly to keep the cubes separated. * If the ice cubes are hollow (shells of ice with water inside), it generally means the ice maker isn't getting enough water. Replace the water filter, and if the issue persists, check if the water valve is fully open or if the water supply line is kinked.

Why is the water from my Westinghouse Refrigerator not cold enough?
- T
  Todd BrownAug 29, 2025
  If the water from your Westinghouse Refrigerator isn't cold enough, add ice to your cup or container before dispensing water. Warmer tap water goes through the filter and enters the water supply system, pushing the chilled water through to the dispenser. It will take several hours to bring the freshly replaced water to a cooler temperature once the chilled water is used up.

Why won't the doors on my Westinghouse WQE6870SA Refrigerator close properly?
- G
  grayerikaAug 31, 2025
  If the door(s) of your Westinghouse Refrigerator won't close, consider these points: * Close both doors gently, as closing one too hard can cause the other to open slightly. * Ensure the floor is level and solid, capable of supporting the refrigerator. Contact a carpenter if the floor is sagging or sloping. * Make sure the refrigerator isn't touching a wall or cabinet. * Check the gasket and cabinet interface for any obstructions. Clean the refrigerator door gaskets and interface with warm, soapy water to remove any grease, dirt, and grime, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Inspect the gasket to ensure it's thoroughly clean.
