Westinghouse

My wife told me the tv kept going off and then turning itself on. The built in dvd quit working also. It finally did it while I was there. While checking it out I noticed a square green button in the audio out section on the side of the tv. When I pressed it a red light came on inside the button and we haven't had any problems with the picture for a week now, but it didn't fix the dvd problem. Hopefully if it happens again this will fix it next time. Take a look, maybe this will fix your problems too.

My 22" LCD Monitor Model 2210LW went bad after only 10 months. I follwed the very complicated process to send it back at my expense to the Westinghouse Service Center for repair or replacement. After several weeks I finally get back a monitor that is not only not the one I sent in (verified by checking serial number), but it is not working and has so many scratches on the screen that even if it did I would not want to use it.

I sent them a monitor that I took excellent care of for the very short time we had it, and this is what I get back. I am out the shipping and insurance, the cost (239+tax) of the monitor and now I will need to pay to have it recycled. I feel that Westinghouse owes me a working LCD monitor in the same shape in which it was sent.

Don't buy a Westinghouse TV....ever. I bought one from Best Buy in 2008 and it has recently started cutting itself off for no reason. When I try to turn it back on it takes about a minute or several attempts before it comes back on. Since it's out of warranty, it's not worth fixing because guess what....you can't get parts for it. Westinghouse is a piece of crap.

If you would look on line- seems like all the 19 inch Westinghouse TV's are failing after about 14 months (like mine) Can't we do something? Seems ridiculas that a company can put an inferior produce out and suffer no consequences. Very angy consumer!

I purchased a refurbished 46' Westinghouse HDTV 07/05/09 at a Red Tag sales event in a warehouse. The TV was 667.27 and they also sold me a 3 year warranty on the TV for repairs. Westinghouse has a 90 day policy, then the warranty should take effect. I really had no problem with my TV, till 01/25/10. When I went to turn on, it would not display a picture. I tried for 20 minutes, checking all the connections, etc. Still no picture nor blue monitor light or picture, only red.

I called Bankers Warranty Group of Fl, the company that held the warranty and they advised that refurbished TV's are not covered under warranty, only new TV's. I asked why then was I sold the warranty by Red Tag, they stated they did not know. I would need to call Ubid or Red Tag to obtain my refund as the warranty is not valid.

I paid 69.99 for the 3 year warranty. I have tried to call Red Tag, yet I always receive a recording stating one thing or another. I also called Westinghouse for a referral, they stated I could go to anyone to have my TV repaired. I have a 667.00 TV that does not work and it is less than a year old, and I have paid for a 69.99 warranty that is invalid.

After 23 months of light usage our Westinghouse LCD TV, model SK-19-H210S will no longer turn on.

I own a 32inch Westinghouse LCD TV which started having problems about 2 years out from purchase @ BestBuy (9/2007). It has vertical sometimes horizontal lines which come and go. It is now in a local repair shop along with a pile of other Westinghouse LCDs. I paid 549 and was happy until recently. This is a scenario where an extended warranty would have been great.

Purchased the Westinghouse Model SK19H210S in March 2008 for 299. I originally went to Best Buy to get something different but it was out of stock at Best Buy so they upgraded me to this Westinghouse. I knew nothing about Westinghouse but figured it would last longer than the 1 1/2 years. The TV is in a spare bedroom and rarely used. The blue light slightly comes on but no picture, no sound, nothing. It is out of warranty now and I am not paying 150 to repair a piece of junk. There is a reason Best Buy no longer carries Westinghouse. Additionally if you read reviews on this TV at Amazon, everybody else is have same problems just after the 1 year warranty expires

My son received a refurbished Westinghouse 19 inch lcd tv/monitor for his birthday. 11 months later and it has completely died. OK, so it's refurbished, but I've had other electronic devices that were refurbished and never had a problem, especially not within the first year. Now he has no tv and no computer because I don't have the money to buy another one and it's not easy finding a repair person who can fix it.
