Westinghouse

I paid over $1000.00 for Westinghouse LTV30W2 LCD TV at Best Buy several years ago, so I was no longer under warranty when the picture started to go black on me this June 2011. It would crackle, then pop and go black. I was able to bring up the menu and see that on the screen but nothing in the settings could fix the problem. After a week I could no longer get a picture again and the TV was feeling hot to the touch and smelled like burnt wiring or components. I took it to a repair shop and paid $50 to diagnose it. They said I needed a new main board or a ballast board and that would cost me an additional $200.00 for a total of $250.00. I contacted Westinghouse for a price check on the main board and was told it was $250.00 for that part. They did not offer any info on the problem being widespread with their TVs, nor that the part was not even available through them any longer. All they said was they didn't have the part in stock.

Considering the short lifespan of my Westinghouse, I would never buy another one again. All my TVs have lasted 20 years or better, replacing them only because the style was outdated. Being that I am now on a fixed income, I weighed all my cost options. Fixing mine for a total of $250.00 was not a consideration since I could purchase a new same sized, better brand TV for around $300.00. I looked around and spotted a 1996 used Sony 19" LCD stereo TV at a local Thrift store for $40.00 that was going to be 1/2 off in a week. So after being without a TV for a month, I picked up a decent little TV for $20.00. It's very heavy to lift for a portable, but the picture is perfectly clear.

Westinghouse should be made accountable and compensate us for the defective, and possibly dangerous televisions that they sold us. They are a fire hazard and they should have issued a recall notice warning their customers of this danger. Hopefully, the next unsuspecting consumer will not be sleeping when their Westinghouse blacks out on them.

We bought my mother a new TV for Christmas 2010. Two months before the warranty expired, the TV's picture went crazy. After many phone calls and e-mails, we were told we had to take photos of what the TV screen looked like, e-mail the photos, and send the TV back to the Westinghouse TV repair. No where did I see that it was the customer's responsibility to pay to ship the TV. It costs $92 for which I feel we are owed. The TV was defective and was a total inconvenience to get the TV to a UPS as I had a broken arm. Since this experience with Westinghouse, we will not be buying anything from you. We have also heard from others about your products and their dissatisfaction with your customer service. How very disappointing since your company has been around for many years.

After 1 year, it just stopped working. This is Chinese trash. Don't buy this, or you will lose your money.

I bought model SK26H570D (Serial # 5612W84101996) a few years ago, and now it's costing me $150.00 to have it fixed. According to Precision Electronic Inc., it has a bad capacitor. I feel it should last longer than it did! No more Westinghouse products for me.

I bought a Westinghouse 32" TV exactly 5 months ago. The warranty is for 1 year. I called customer service. The warranty states that I call this number, and get a service center, that I can go to, and have my TV serviced. After jumping through hoops (unplugging TV and cable box, waiting for several minutes, etc), the service rep tells me I have to mail the TV, at my cost (around $300), and they will look at it. It was like pulling teeth to even get this information. The CSR didn't want to give up the info. Looking at the reviews for Westinghouse, I wish I would have read them before buying the TV. So much for customer service. I have the original warranty, and nowhere does it say that I need to ship this somewhere at my expense. What a scam! I will never buy anything from Westinghouse again!

Fire Hazard: Electric buzzing on right side. Westinghouse flat screen would go dark, but power and sound were on.

Possible Solution:

There are high voltage wires touching a metal frame piece and arcing through the insulation. Remove back of unit and remove the frame piece and grind off offending edge, then replace.

I purchased a Westinghouse SK-26H590D in July 2008 and the screen has green dots. The longer the TV stays on the more the dots start to increase. Also there are now red and blue dots. It has become so bad that you cannot make out the images on the screen. I have called Westinghouse at 800-701-0680 for advise on what the problem can be and the answer I received was its out of the warranty period and there is nothing they can do. They told me to bring it to a repairman. I see that there are countless complaints on Westinghouse and there should be a recall on this product.

I purchased an LD-3235 LED TV made by Westinghouse, from HGregg and Company, in Rockville MD in late October, 2011. By Christmas, the TV was not working. I contacted Westinghouse, and was told to send the TV to their repair facility in Houston, TX. I did so on January 16, 2012, and it was received at 11:45 AM on January 19, 2012. According to the information from Westinghouse, the repair should have been done in 3 to 5 days (and as of today's phone call they have now changed that to 9-10 days), and we should have received the TV back by now. According to customer service department, the TV is still in for repairs, and they will send it back as soon as it is completed. The case number is ZW1142440. Their customer service number is **.

I am very dissatisfied with their customer service/repair process. I've requested that a new TV be sent, replacing the defective TV, since we owned the new TV for only two months until it went bad. They are unwilling to make a decision on this, until they get the TV repaired. My feeling is they've had ample time to repair the TV, and are unwilling to admit they have a problem with the TVs they are marketing. Can something be done?

I bought four Westinghouse 32" model sk-32h240s TVs. One died in October 2011 and one died in January 2012. Both with the same problem, inverter board. TVs should last more than three years and it seems many, many people are experiencing the same problem. Westinghouse is putting out defective TVs and will not replace the part, even though they admitted to me that this model is having the problem.

After two months of having purchased my Westinghouse 32" LED TV it stopped working. Don't go to Costco to support this useless Chinese trash!

I bought 10 of these 32" inches Westinghouse LCD sets ( sk 32h540s) from Sams Club about 2 years ago for my business. Five have gone bad already with the same problem everyone else is experiencing. TV comes on, shows logo then goes black but power light is still on. They replaced 3 of them last year but pretty much said tough luck about the rest. All I want to know is how to fix them but they don't respond. Any one had theirs fixed? if so, what was done?

My friend bought her son a TV from your company and it is under warranty. Your company is charging her to fix the TV although it is under warranty. I feel that you should have to honor your warranty or do not give on for your products at all. And I do not think it is fair to take money from people again after they have already purchased your product and it has a malfunction because of the product and not because of any misuse. A concerned person that believes you only get what you give and you should make this right.

I bought the Westinghouse 32 inch for bedroom from Costco last year. It just stopped working today... sound but no picture... sounds like the same problem everyone else is having. Does anyone know if it is worth trying to have it repaired. I'm in for class action.

I bought a Westinghouse television in Costco on 6/22/11. I started noticing that the monitor would go black sometimes and other times have white lines going across it. I called customer support (800)7010680 in November 2011 and they opened up Case # ZW1133762. On 12/27/11, Jerald told me that a brand new in (unopened) box TV was being sent to my house Transaction# 4074347214. I did not get the TV and called again on January 7th and spoke to Brianna, who said they would call me between 5pm and 6pm on 1/10/12, which never happened. After no one called, I called support again 8pm on 1/10/12 and spoke to Alfredo, who said he would take care of it personally by calling and keeping in touch. I never heard from him again.

Finally, the TV came by FedEx on 1/17, who left it on the doorstep and drove away. The box was severely damaged and covered in tape. It came from Daniel **, **, Edison, NJ 08837. Inside, there was a poorly packaged TV that was broken, with plastic pieces inside the box and monitor had split open. My existing TV is in better condition! I called again and spoke to Ava, who said that FedEx will pick up this TV tomorrow and bring it back to Network Solutions, LLC. in Houston, TX for them to inspect. I told her that I had taken photos of the box and replacement TV and she told me to e-mail it to WB_service@orderz.com. I tried twice and the e-mail was returned with the error: no such user. I called them on 1/24 and they said "We sent you a TV" and then said they'd call me back. I don't expect to hear from them.

I purchased a 26 inch flat screen Westinghouse from Target 11/2010. By April, the picture would start to get really dark, and a few times you would have to unplug and re-plug it to get any picture at all. And then on 1/15/2012, the picture went completely. You can get sound but see nothing. It's disconcerting to see how many people had the exact same trouble with one brand of TV.

I purchased my Westinghouse 32" LCD TV a couple years ago with built-in DVD player. It worked about 6 months and the screen went black. I called Westinghouse and even though it was under warranty, they still wanted $260 shipping and labor! It's been sitting in my closet ever since awaiting a class action lawsuit. This company is pure garbage, total thieves yet they continue to produce junk and stores continue to carry their product. I don't want another one, I want my ** money back.

I tried to get it to work today and there is no picture, just sound. Do not buy from Westinghouse! It's a 32" LCD HDTV.

I purchased a 32" Westinghouse TV (SK 32H570D) from Target in May 2010. In January 2012, the screen went black. There is sound, but no picture. This TV should function longer than two years. Several people have complained about the same problem, but Westinghouse refuses to recall these TVs. Westinghouse has a major component problem and continues to dupe the public with these defective TVs. Our money should be returned.

Do not, I repeat, do not purchase any Westinghouse products! The TV goes black after just a few months of working. The customer service is horrible, and they have no idea what you are talking about, when you ask them a question. They need to get this TV off the market, before more people buy this horrible product. There needs to be a lawsuit against this company, so everyone can get their money back, and stop having headaches from these people, for their poor quality of help! This is the worst product on the market. Don't let their cheap price fool you, because it won't last long!

This Westinghouse is a Chinese company. White Westinghouse is the old Westinghouse. My 47" TV image slowly gets darker and darker. You have to power it off and back on to get a normal image. Then in a short while, it starts getting darker.

I purchased a 40-inch Flat Screen LED at Menrards in April 2011. I am a senior citizen and do not know much about flat screen however the sound on the flat screen was working properly and my daughter explained to me that there should be a sound card or something due to the distorted sound. I placed a service order after I submitted my receipt to the company.

I am currently waiting for a repair man to schedule a visit. Luckily, I was not ask to ship the TV but I am concerned that my warranty will expire before someone comes out to repair the TV due to the slowness of addressing this issue. I would not suggest purchasing any electronics. They need to stick to lighting industry.

I purchased a 32" Westinghouse LCD TV from Newegg.com on 12/11/11. It was a Christmas present for my son. He opened it on 12/25/11. It stopped working on 1/2/12. It works for about 20 minutes then gets lines through it and eventually turns black. It has sound but no picture. I was unable to return to Newegg as I didn't have storage space for the box and had thrown it out a few days before it stopped working. Westinghouse said I had to take a picture of it, e-mail them the picture, and then I had to pay to ship back to them. There is obviously a problem with this TV as many are having the same problem. So, I am out $250 and my son has no Christmas present.

I bought a Westinghouse 40 in LED TV on Black Friday from Target. I opened it Christmas morning and set it up. On Jan. 11th 2012, the screen went black. The sound works but there is no picture. This is a horrible TV and the company forcing me to pay to mail the TV to be fixed is ridiculous! I just posted on their Facebook page about what has happened to me and how ** their product is and suggest everyone do the same! I have been an AV tech for 15 yrs and have worked with tons of other flat screen TVs and have put them all to the test.

I bought this for home use only and got it for its price. In all of my career, I have never seen a TV do this before. The TV I owned before this one lasted over 6 yrs and still has a great picture. I don't understand this and I am furious with Westinghouse. This was a big purchase for my family and now my living room is TV less. I am going to help in anyway possible to spread the word about Westinghouse and their TVs. I also plan on getting my money back somehow. Something needs to be done about this!

I purchased an LD-325 in June 2011 from Target. On November 2011, the TV indicator light comes on, but there's no picture or sound. If you use the buttons on the TV, you can sometimes get scream flash on, but immediately it goes blank. It seems that trying the volume button turns off the indicator light.

Based on other comments on this site, sounds like I bought a lemon and Westinghouse has a major components problem. Everyone is having the same problem. I may contact warranty, but expect that this may be useless as others experience poor service and/or repeated problems. Perhaps Westinghouse should refund all people and have their product recalled.

I purchased 32 inch LD325 series in June 2011. In Nov 2011, the "on" indicator lights but no picture or sound. On occasion, the screen will flash on then off. I have had a couple times where the W appeared only to blink and shake and then screen went out. If I try the buttons on the TV, it is odd that you can turn the indicator on, but if you press the volume button, light goes out. Based on other comments on this site, I am just another sucker who bought a TV from this company. The problem seems to be pretty consistent and doesn't sound like warranties will do anything but give you a headache.

The TV was bought from Best Buy and it is only a couple years old with very little hours and it stopped working. I cannot get the unit to power up. Is Westinghouse made in USA? I would like to join in on a class action lawsuit if one is formed.

Purchased 32" LD-3235 flat screen from Best Buy on 9/25/11. On 11/25/11, there was no picture (black screen), just sound. Repeated calls to Westinghouse with horrible customer service. Finally sent to be repaired and received it back on 12/21/11. It was not working again, so I called today, 1/07/11.

I was told they would send a new television but have none in the facility - will check with other facility but can't let me know when I will receive new TV. Bought Westinghouse because of the name and I thought it had a good reputation and also wanted to buy American. Customer service is awful and they don't treat consumers right. If there is a lawsuit - I'm in. Someone needs to stop this!

If you purchased a Westinghouse TV from Best Buy, it is covered by the Geek Squad under the original manufacturers warranty. They will come to your home to fix your set for free. Call them to set up an appointment.

On 1/6/2012, I purchased a 32" TV model #LD3235 LED by Westinghouse from Best Buy on September 29, 2011. When I turned it on, the picture turned black, comes back momentarily. No picture with sound. Best Buy said "It's past 30 days already, too bad you didn't buy extended warranty". Westinghouse said to mail it back to Houston or California repair center, but they would not accept responsibility for damage during shipping. For the cost of mailing it back, plus the very real chance in will get damaged in the mail plus I have to put it in the original package. It's very disappointing and frustrating because of bad costumer service.

Horrible! I bought the 42 inch TV for Christmas. 5 days later, it doesn't work! Help!

This TV is awful! I bought an SK-19210s two years ago as a bedroom TV. At the most the TV has 60 hours of use on it. Today I attempted to turn it on and no power. After searching the internet I found all the complaints about this TV and eventually ended up here. This company needs to be investigated and a class action lawsuit needs filed against them.

I purchased a 32" TV from Best Buy in Sept 2011. By November, the picture turned black, comes back on momentarily only to shake, shiver and go black again. Best Buy said "too bad, you didn't buy the extended warranty". Westinghouse? They told me to mail it back, but they would not accept responsibility for damage during shipping. For the cost of mailing it back, plus the very real chance in will get damaged in the mail, I will take it out on the far pasture and use it for target practice. Seriously.

I purchased a LCD Westinghouse 32" TV from Walmart. It was under warranty when it was serviced on 6/14/10 for "no picture with sound". The problem (no picture with sound) reoccurred on 11/2011 outside of the 24-month warranty period. I was told by the supervisor at the Walmart Extended Warranty Center that the "lemon policy" does not apply. Westinghouse will never get my business again. A television should function without incident longer than 2 years.

I purchased my TV off ecost.com and true enough it was refurbished but it shouldn't have gone out in less than 2yrs. I should have gotten an extended warranty. I will never buy a Westinghouse again because they don't appreciate their customers enough to listen to their complaints and provide customer support/service. I think if we all complain to the BBB then something can be done, the power of unsatisfied people can make a difference. And we should buy American product, it"s a disgrace!

This company sucks, both their products and customer support. I bought a 42" LED TV which I used for a computer monitor. I had the item less than 6 months and it stopped working. Upon contacting customer support, they told me the serial number was over a year old and would not warranty the item regardless of when I purchased.

This is a horrible television. I purchased this TV November 4, 2011. The picture has lines in it, and fades in and out after only 2 weeks. I will bring it back to the store, and I hope I can get an exchange, and get a different television, as long as it is not the same brand. Westinghouse has lost a customer. I will never buy another product from them. They have a bad return policy. I will contact the BBB.

Long story short, I had this TV just a month passed the warranty period and picture is black. Needless to say, I am very mad. Nobody could do anything about it. Sign me up also if that lawsuit is started. (37" Westinghouse model#VR-408DF)

I bought a 42 inch Westinghouse TV 2 years ago and within 6 months, the TV quit working. The TV received no signal through any input. I sent the TV off to be repaired because it was under warranty. Eight months later, the same television had the same problem and when I called Westinghouse, they said it is no longer under warranty and I would need the receipt and have to pay for them to fix it.

Well the first time I sent them the TV, they had the receipt and did not return it. Yes, it is my bad choice of not making a copy but I assumed it would be returned with the properly working television. This is a horrible company and I will be letting everyone I interact with know that Westinghouse is a fraud with products that are completely sub par! BBB is next!

I bought a TV when Target had them on sale about 17 months ago and took it to a shop to have it looked at because it started turning black on the pitcher. The repair guy opened the back of the TV and wires were burnt to a crisp. I will be calling the BBB and file a complaint with the state against this matter; it could have set my house on fire.

I purchased a Westinghouse 32-inch flat screen TV about one year ago. I am having the same problems as some of the other people. My TV stopped working. I was only looking for a repair shop until I was informed that it will cost up to $500 to repair my flat screen. **! That was more than what I paid for the TV brand new. Then, I ran across this website and was shocked. It seems like there is no use in complaining. I will do more investigating when it comes to purchasing a flat screen, computer or any other electronic product. There should be a class action lawsuit. How can they get away with stealing from so many people? Who's protecting the consumers? Reimburse people who brought their products thinking that they purchase a quality American product. But we just got duped into thinking so. And why did the TV's die outright after the so-called warranty? It just seems so strange. Refund our money!

I have bought two Westinghouse TVs with built in DVD players. I bought the first at Best Buy back in the summer of 2006. The TV has worked great up until this year. Then the HDMI kept losing signal. My TV/internet company told me to replace the cable, which didn't fix it. Then just last month, the screen went black. It's definitely trying to put out light but no picture. Originally the sound worked, but that has quit too. The second TV, I bought in 2008 and it's still working.

I expected to have the DVD player stop working and I didn't pay as little as everyone else on here, though I seem to be having better luck. I'm not a complainer. I really believe you get what you pay for but customer service should never cost the customer money. I simply want to know if there is something as simple as a light bulb change to fix it but after reading these comments, it looks like I just need to switch brands and get a new TV. I think I'll go LED anyway. This thing puts out a ton of heat!

Purchased a flat screen from Costco. After a few months, picture had lines and ultimately goes in and out. Costco will not replace it after 90 days. Westinghouse wants me to ship back at my non-refundable expense, practically the cost of the TV. I truly thought the lower price was for poorer quality of picture, not lifespan of the unit. Have every intent to buy another, put damaged in the box, return and refund within the 90 day limit. If Costco wants to sell crap, they can absorb the consequences. I tried to do the right thing and from what I'm reading, Westinghouse has no desire to do so.

The TV had a white line on the top on standard mode of viewing. TV has a multicolor lines at the bottom when connected to the computer and the picture is off. When contacted, they advised me to send it to them at my cost.

I bought a brand new 32" LED Westinghouse TV on September 30, 2011 from Best Buy. I did not open the TV until I moved into my new home on October 11, 2011. The TV worked great out of the box, but within one month, the picture started to get lines. At first, they were small and then became very annoying, large lines which progressed into an occasional completely black picture. I contacted Westinghouse and told them what it was doing. I was told to ship this TV back to them at my cost, and they would see if they could repair it. Why I have to pay anything for a TV that I've owned for less than two months is beyond me. It cost me $102 to ship it! The TV lasts two months, and they don't feel obligated to make things right when I'm inconvenienced and made to pay for something that isn't my fault at all! They made a garbage product and their practices are suspect.

My 32" Westinghouse LCD TV, Model Number SK-32H540S, is having the same issue as noted by most other users. The picture and sound will come on initially, then the picture becomes either scrambled or the screen goes black. The sound still works but the picture goes out. Has anyone heard of a Class Action against Westinghouse or a reasonable fix to the problem? The picture, when working, looks good, just not there most of the time. I would not buy another Westinghouse product given the lack of quality observed and their lack of making good to their customers for selling a sub-par product.

I have no sound on my TV when I watch it in HD. I tried to buy a sound card, which costs almost as much as the TV is worth. Now, I'm out a TV. Thank you Westinghouse for selling junk.

The TV is advertised as a 32", but it is only 27", unless you "adjust" every time with the aspect button. This is false advertising. The worst part is the remote. You have to stand very close to the TV and only in one certain spot or it will not work. It also will not allow you to use a universal remote. I have purchased several different brands and wasted my money. The picture quality is also poor. I paid the same for this TV as I did for my Phillips and Dynex which were great TVs; never had a problem. I have wasted tons of time on the phone and internet researching about this TV.

I bought the TV in August but Best Buy would not do anything either. The Geek Squad actually had a careless attitude with me on the phone. The Geek squad service plan is a waste too. I can't remember when I have ever had a problem with a new or newer TV. I also called Westinghouse a number of times and sent a detailed polite letter to them. Of course, there has been no response. Bottom line is stay away from Best Buy, Geek Squad and most of all Westinghouse TV. I guess I will have to spend a ton more money to buy another one by Phillips or Dynex and throw this one in the trash where it belongs.

Westinghouse Consumer Complaint I bought a 24" monitor and absolutely loved it. On 10/27/2011, I can barely see anything on screen, although I have sound. I bought this TV 14 months ago.

I bought a Westinghouse 37" TV VR-3725 on 5/22/2011. After 5 months (10/17/2011), the TV screen went black, there's no picture. The technician said there's a problem with the board and power supply and it needed parts replacement. I had TV's before in other brands like Sony, Dynex, Sylvania, and Magnavox that lasted for many years with no problems.

We purchased a Westinghouse 26" TV LCD from Target. We did not use it all that much but just after a year, it just up and flat died. The power light would come on and that is all so I called their service. Being just over a year I expected the normal stuff, but the agent wanted all my info. He said he would start a claim but he needed the original store receipt with the word Westinghouse on it. Well that was a problem as I did not know where it was. I knew I had it but don't know where. He still took the claim and said to call back when I located the receipt.

So I called Target but they only keep 90 days of records. I looked a little more and bingo! I came up with it and other stuff that I had been looking for I called back, it was very nice again. He said I had to pay the shipping to them and they would see what the issue was. I sent it with a tracking no. and insurance. They called me in 6 days and said they can not fix it but would sent a new one to replace it (they should have said a repaired one). They shipped it back at their expense. They have great communication all through out, and while a television should not fail in a year I thought I would post this because they did me right

My 37'' plasma TV started smelling a strong burning smell so I turned it off. It was still working fine. Thank God, it did not burn my home down.

The attorney general needs to investigate this company. My TV is right at just over 3 years old and the two year additional warranty I purchased is expired.

I tried to turn on my SK-26H730S and it turned on. As I began to channel surf, it just went blank. I can't turn the channel, can't hear a sound, nothing. I unplugged it, changed where it was located, and still nothing. I took the manual and looked at the troubleshooting section. Then, I called the number listed (866-287-5555). I got nothing but hysterical laughter! At first, I thought I'd dialed the wrong number so I hung up and dialed again. I just got the same Pee-Wee Herman laughter! I'm shocked and angry! I purchased this TV from Target, because I couldn't believe the price from this "reputable" company. I figured I'd go for it! I won't ever make that mistake again, especially after reading all these complaints. It's a shame on Westinghouse!

This is not against Best Buy. That is only where I bought the product, which is a Westinghouse LCD 26" TV. It was used very seldom at night in my bedroom. So, it still should work like new. Just after the guarantee ran out, the TV lost picture. It started out as the screen going white after a little time of use, which was okay because I was falling asleep anyhow. Now, when you turn on the TV, the screen goes white right away. It's just a very poor product now. And I wish Best Buy would stop selling them. I have read many complaints about this same thing. So, I know it's not just my TV doing this or something I did. They want us to buy American. Well, they will have to make something comparable to Panasonic or Toshiba before I do. The best TV on the market today is a Panasonic, in my honest opinion.

I bought a Westinghouse SK-32H590. Channel tuner has gone wacky, getting channels that don't exist and losing some channels. We are hooked up to just a regular HDTV antenna on the roof. I used to get signals for all the local channels fine, but the last 4 weeks, things have gone bad. Also, I'm losing picture but still have sounds. This TV is a piece of **. We'll be thinking about getting an LG TV instead. Do not buy anything from Westinghouse.

For all you who complained. First of all, I used to work for Westinghouse, so let me break it down for you **. If you're outside 1 year, you're out of luck with any brand. Second of all, you complain about Westinghouse but these TVs cost far less than the better brands. You get what you pay for. You are not going to file for a class action suit because you will lose like the ** that you are. As much as you trash Westinghouse, there are complaints about every brand on the internet. You can call your family and roar to everyone not to buy it. But these TVs are so cheap people will still buy them, and if you all don't buy them, they'll just change the company name to another one.

I know you all are frustrated but Westinghouse's customer support doesn't care if you're not in 1 year warranty. If your TV is in warranty and it's under 42 inches, you will pay for shipping; no in-home service. 42 and up, they will give shipping labels. They will not refund your money. So please shut up and stop complaining because of "your ** fixed income", "I'm poor and can't afford another TV". It won't move them in any way. Thats the way life is.

I purchased a Westinghouse LCD TV Model SK-19H210S (a small LCD TV) from Best Buy less than 5 years ago. It would sometimes run, sometimes not. I thought I have a loose connection or that I had connected it incorrectly - or something "my fault". Then one day, I turned it on to use and there was nothing - no picture, not even a buzz or a blip. I took it to Best Buy. They tested it in house and said it was dead. It was less than 5 years old, and of course "out of warranty" though.

This TV never ran well in retrospect. Best Buy should stop selling them. When I pay over $400 for a TV, I expect it to last for more than 4.5 years. Best Buy person had the nerve to tell me that I shouldn't expect a TV to last much longer than that, and that I should have purchased a 5-year service plan (for another $200 I'm guessing). I won't purchase another Westinghouse. And I'm not thrilled with Best Buy either. I guess it's not in their interest to sell quality products, is it? When the expectation is that everyone will simply toss our TV after less than 5 years, why stock something that has a long lifespan? Between the manufacturers and the retail stores, we consumers are cooked.

I contacted customer service about our TV. The warranty was up. The TV is 2 yrs old. I was told to take the set to repair shop. I did that. Now the set is dead again. And I will not repair it again. I literally smelled something burning in that set.

We lose the image frequently, i.e. more than once a minute (white snow screen), and the sound is distorted. We can hear the sound except it sounds like it's coming through a tube.

We can't watch our shows without interruptions. It is very frustrating. Every day it gets worse. Plus, my attempt at reaching a Westinghouse technician online was a waste of time. You cannot get the advice of an expert or a reliable technician without first paying, and this can only be done by credit card. To all those who feel jipped, I can relate.

I purchased #SK-32H240S on 10/13/07 for $600. Shortly after purchase, every now in then it would get the colored lines for a few seconds, and then it would clear up. I did not pay any attention because it was brief, and thought it may be the cable. The longer I had the set it the longer the distortion would last and last. It seems after the set gets hot, the lines appear and stay.

I contacted Westinghouse and found out I was four days to late; my warranty ran out four days earlier.

They could not do anything--I was Ripped Off.

In 2006, I purchased a Westinghouse TV model SK32H540S 32" flatscreen LCD. It is now generating a burning plastic smell that is intense. I'm sure failure is imminent. This morning when I turned it on, distorted color bars were all that would display. I switched it off and back on again and it's working for the time being, but the burning smell is nauseating and certainly a health hazard. I feel I must replace the TV for that reason alone. I don't want to fall asleep with it on and have it catch fire either. The TV is out of warranty, but should certainly have lasted more than five years.

Purchased 32 LCD Westinghouse TV in 2005. After reading other posts I feel lucky that the TV lasted until today, but agree that I will neve buy another Westinghouse and will tell everyone I know what a rip off. The TV was not used more than a few hours a day on most days.

I also purchased 3 Westinghouse TV's, Model number SK-32H54OS, on June 23, 2008, which means these TVs are not yet 3 years old! Two of these TVs have already gone bad. It's the same problem as I've read about where the TV has sound and no picture. Of course, I contacted Westinghouse the first time it happened and was told sorry, there is not much we can do. But when the second one went bad 2 weeks ago, I contacted them again. I explained that I bought 3 of the same TV and 2 are bad, can't they please help me? It was like talking to a brick wall. "Sorry, it's out of warranty. Nothing we can do" and "if we (Westinghouse) thought there was a manufacturer's defect or a problem, we would have contacted you so you can get the TV repaired but since we do not know of any problems, then we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and have a nice day!" Are they kidding me or what? I saw that someone wrote if a class action suit is started, they wanted in. Well, so do I! I bought Westinghouse because I trusted them. Never again, and I will be sure to tell everyone I know!

I purchased a 42" Westinghouse LED TV for $599.99 here in Knoxville, TN, on June 30th 2010. We have enjoyed watching Hi-def since getting the unit. We purchased the three years warranty for an additional $79.00.

Here is the problem in a nutshell. After loosing Hi-def signal on a regular basis, after less than a year, I have our local Charter Cable TV service people check all their equipment for defects, of which we've replaced the HI-DEF signal box and re-turned the signal to within tolerances (+12 to -12). The problem is with the 42" Westinghouse LED TV's HDMI circuit. It is starting to fail. All three HDMI ports run off the same circuit.

I forwarded on to Westinghouse which told me that I would have to ship the unit to their repair center. I cannot accomplish that because I do not have the original shipping carton that came with the unit I purchased. I kept it 45 days, then tossed it. I bought the three-year extended warranty because if I had a problem, it would be nice to have someone come out and fix it on-site or exchange it for another unit that did work properly.

If things remain as they are now, I will be putting in a claim on July 1st 2011. If that occurs, I will be telling all 4500 Tellico Village residents that I have not had a positive experience with Target. We have a local newspaper that loves to publish articles from our members.

In April 2008, I purchased a Westinghouse 32" LCD TV (SK-32H240S) from Walmart for $550. This week the screen went black after being powered on allowing only the sound to function. Although the remote allows the channels to be changed (confirmed by sound), nothing can be seen on the TV itself-- no menu screens, channel numbers, or anything else.

Interestingly, the "W" logo and normal picture flashes on for about 2 seconds after the TV is powered on, then goes black. I cannot get through to Westinghouse customer service and decided to utilize the extra 2-year warranty we purchased through Walmart with the TV. They promised a prepaid shipping box, free repair, a new TV, or a gift card, so we will see. We're hoping it was an extra $58 well spent.

I purchased a Westinghouse widescreen HDTV (model SK-26H240S) in April 2008 (Sam's Club was the retailer; $398+ tax). In the past few months, it has begun to turn itself off. Yesterday it turned itself off after being on for only a moment or two. I checked the cables, unplugged and re-plugged the TV into the outlet, but to no avail. The unit has died. I sought assistance from Westinghouse, first via phone (but their offices are only open M-F) and then by internet leaving them a message regarding the unit. I began searching the internet seeking more information, assistance of some sort helping me understand what was happening and why.

I stumbled across a website full of consumer complaints about the entire HDTV and LED TV lines produced by Westinghouse - all with the same complaint. Consumers are paying fair market value for these television sets believing them to be a good product based on the legacy of the Westinghouse name only to learn there is a faulty board in the unit (when serviced) that will cost more than the original cost of the television set in some cases to repair. Fellow consumers who actually get Westinghouse to respond have stated they are being offered a refurbished replacement unit for $250 plus freight cost, but Westinghouse is refusing to admit there is a known issue.

They are purposely selling an inferior product, duping consumers into another big ticket purchase within a matter of a few months or even a year or two. My financial situation is tight now that I can't just run right out at this moment and buy a new TV set. The money I spent on this one when I cashed in my retirement account to pay for my mother's medical expenses when she was diagnosed with cancer was one of the few luxury items and something that was meant to make her happier. I believe I am entitled to expect value for that money and I want Westinghouse to own their own shoddy work in the name of greed and stand by the product they sold to unsuspecting consumers for the last couple of years.

I don't believe that is too much to ask. They were paid their asking price (via Sam's Club) and now I want a quality widescreen HDTV that will last for a few more years of use while I'm in nursing school. I am out the money spent on the unit and now get to continue paying for cable service that is going unused, only adding more insult to injury. I've sent an e-mail to Westinghouse, but have no expectation of return contact after learning of other consumer's plights.

I purchased this TV about 15 months ago. I had the same problem, it just went black screen and no picture, but did have sound. I am so tired of buying stuff from Walmart that quits working right after the Walmart warranty expires! I am not buying another thing from them, and shame on Westinghouse! Nothing again from them! Now I am going to go watch my 15-year-old Sony still in perfect working condition. Forget buying anything new, it always breaks. What's going on in this world?

I have a 32" Westinghouse flat screen TV that stopped producing a clear screen within the first year of owning it. The screen will often go black or it has streaks of multiple colors. I have sound but no picture. After reading all the complaints regarding the same issue I am in disbelief. This was a $600 TV that is of no use within a year! The company does everything in its power to not do anything about the situation.

A class action law suit is necessary! Consumers are spending hard earned money for a product that doesn't last more than 2 years from what I'm reading here. Westinghouse is not standing by its product and is offering nothing more than a replacement TV when it's obvious that the TVs are not made with any quality. I will never buy anything Westinghouse and will be sure to spread the news of how poor of a product they make. No picture. Out of $600.

In May of 2006, I purchased a Westinghouse 32" LCD TV. It has worked great for years. Suddenly the picture would just go black with no sound. The blue light would stay on and would occasionally turn orange. We have to turn on and off repeatedly in order to get it to turn back on. Sometimes this will only allow the TV to work for a couple of minutes before it happens again. I called Westinghouse and was told to plug the TV into a different outlet. It worked and I thought we may have corrected the problem, but it did the same thing after about 15 minutes. Does anyone know if it's worth taking to a repair shop? I think that I spent about $900 on it at the time. Unfortunately, I purchased another one about six months later so I suspect we'll have two bad TVs shortly.

I purchased 2 19-inch Westinghouse flat screens from Best Buy. One year later within 2 weeks of each other, both TVs just stopped working and never worked again. They won't even turn on, dead nothing. That's ridiculous at 300.00 dollars apiece. One was used a little and the other one we just removed from the box 2 weeks prior.

I purchase a Westinghouse 32in. LCD HDTV around two years ago. I had the same problem. I turned on the TV and the picture came on for a split second and then blank. It still had sound, but no picture. It did the same thing over and over. I couldn't find the receipt or extended warranty on it so my only choice was to purchase another TV. You can bet it wasn't Westinghouse **. It sounds like from all the posts that they don't give a hoot about quality products. I see Walmart doesn't carry Westinghouse junk anymore. Good for Walmart!

This is not the Westinghouse we Americans know. Westinghouse Digital Electronics LLC is a private company that makes LCD TVs using the Westinghouse name to market shoddy Chinese products. Westinghouse sold its brand names to several companies years ago.

Westinghouse Digital has only been in business since 2003 and the CEO is Richard Houng, the President is Douglas Woo and the Chief Technology Officer is Darwin Chang. Don't let the western first names fool you. All Chinese use a western first name in addition to their Chinese name.

These are typical Chinese commercial con-artists, most probably Taiwanese, taking advantage of Americans! They are not listed on any stock exchange so you can't get to them through their shareholders. You can get to them by cutting off their customers; Amazon.com, Best Buy, BJs, Costco & Target. Apparently, Wal-Mart has discontinued them as a supplier as all of the customer's should so Westinghouse Digital goes out of business. Inform the retailer where you bought the TV that you will never shop with them again if they continue to carry Westinghouse Digital products.

32-inch flat screen TV purchased about 2 years ago started to smell of an electrical fire from the back side of the TV. I took it to Sam's Club and they said that there was nothing they could do about it. Westinghouse didn't know what to do about it either. I will never purchase from either place ever again. Home smelled of an electrical fire for weeks.

I purchased a Westinghouse LCD TV model # SK-19H2105 on June 2008, from Sam's Club. In August 2010, I experienced intermittent screen black-outs and in less than a week, I had no picture, no sound, no power, nothing.

Of course, when I called Sam's Club, I was reminded of the one year Limited Warranty, which had expired. The sales assistant apologized but said their was nothing he could do, which I understood. He went on to say Westinghouse was not a good brand. I wonder why they (Sam's Club) would carry/promote a worthless brand. I didn't give up. I took my TV to Sears Repair Center for an estimate and paid a non-refundable $29.99 diagnostic fee. I was told the power panel was no good and the cost to replace would be $300.

Thanks, but no thanks. The cost to repair was more than my purchase price. My contact with Westinghouse was ineffective. Although, I'm not in a position to buy another LCD TV at this time. I promise to spread the word about Westinghouse-Poor Quality!

I purchased a Westinghouse flat screen from Best Buy in 2008. Last week, everything on the picture that was white turned to blue color. Today the sound went out and was replaced by an ear breaking screech! What a waste of money!

Westinghouse Model SK-26H590D Widescreen DVD Combo purchased from Target on 5/3/08 now freezes up. TV and DVD player are working, but sometimes it freezes up and you cannot change the channel or turn it on or off either by using the remote or the buttons on the side of the TV. We have to turn it off on the power strip, wait a few minutes and start over.

I noticed on a few occasions that I had picture & no sound. I would shut the TV off & the next day it would be fine. About 6-8 months ago, I had sound & no picture, so I unplugged it for a day but still it didn't work. I contacted Westinghouse which was worthless & so the TV just sat there.

I found someone to work on the television & I dropped it off the next day. He called 3 days later & said that it was the panel (which wasn't worth putting that kind of money into it) & gave me this web site.

Furious, I phoned Westinghouse again & explained the situation & asked with 14 pages of complaints all about the same thing, how could this TV not be recalled. Then they offered to send me a new TV for $250.00, with me being responsible for shipping the old one from PA to CA, (mind you it is a refurbished one).

Being a single mom of 3 children I couldn't let this go, so I phoned Walmart to make them aware of how Westinghouse treats their customers & they said to let everyone know that if you purchased your TV from Walmart that you should phone 1-800-walmart & make an official complaint.

I did, (about a 1/2 hour ago) & they said someone will be contacting me. I didn't make the complaint about Walmart but I did complain that they were buying products from Westinghouse & that Westinghouse wasn't honoring their warranties. The sales associate I spoke with said also you have to watch because they design new TVs & instead of putting Westinghouse on them, they use a different name. I will never purchase another product from Westinghouse. Getting an attorney isn't a bad idea.

I have a 37" HD Video Monitor model LVM 37w1 Monitor/picture "pops" and goes black, but the sound remains on. Westinghouse used to be a reliable brand. What a disappointment this has been. This was not worth the money we paid for, and essentially we lost the value our investment.

A Westinghouse 19" LCD flat-screen TV purchased 2 years ago, refuses to turn on.

I have a Westinghouse TV for about a year and 8 months and the power light is on but no picture or light in the screen. What kind of crappy TV is this!

My brand-new, one-year-old Westinghouse flat panel LCD HD TV went black and when I called, service representative said there is nothing they can do and they can't fix it. They said they would sell me a new upgraded version for $250. I have never had a TV break in one year! Very poor customer service.

I have a 2-year old Westinghouse TV model SK32H540S and the same issue of the 2 second picture then pitch black screen just happened to me. As I can see this is a recurrent problem so I guess I'll have to try my luck tomorrow and contact customer service. But as many of you have reported Westinghouse has been refusing to own up to their product so I'm not looking forward to having a good customer service experience. We'll see.

Same issue as the rest of the consumers, terrible picture, TV turns on and off. Now it won't even turn on, absolutely ridiculous. I purchased the TV thinking that it will last a long time, it was a bad Best Buy, cannot help and Westinghouse does not own up to the problem. I'm obviously not the only one. My money went to waste, no quality and no one is taking responsibility. I want Westinghouse to fix the problem not try to sell me another TV. Replace or repair, I don't see why its so complicated.

I've had the same problem with the 32". Screen went blank and black after 1 1/2 hours. Tech Support told me I should get a quote from a repair man. If it was higher than $250, I should call them back and get a replacement TV from them. This should be a re-called item in my opinion. $600.00 TV for 1 1/2 year of use.

I have one of the Westinghouse HD televisions that many people on your site are complaining about. I am having the same issue: turns on, flash of light, then the screen is black and I only have sound. This is the replacement TV because the first one did the same thing after only a couple of weeks.

We purchased a Westinghouse, SK-26H520S, wide-screen 26 inch LCD TV, two years ago. The blue power light is blinking below the screen, but no sound or picture. We have checked all connections and even unplugged the TV for one hour, to no avail. The batteries in the remote are new also. We cannot get a response from Westinghouse and Sam's Club said this is warranty work for Westinghouse. From all of the "help sites" that I have seen on the internet, this is a known problem with this television and the manufacturer is aware of it and chooses not to fix it or help their customers with this problem.

I purchased a Westinghouse TV Model # SK-26H240S less than two yrs ago and the TV keeps going black every 40 minutes or so. Seems the internal fan may have gone bad and the TV is over heating. Calls to Westinghouse Customer Service is a waste of time. They will not own up to anything or offer to help unless your will to buy a new one. I don't need help buying a new TV but I will never buy a Westinghouse. My two boys are very disappointed.

My Westinghouse television (model # SK32H240F), which was purchased at Best Buy in March 2008, went out the other day. The picture went blank and we could hear the television but could not see a picture. I contacted Best Buy and they stated that it was Westinghouse's responsibility. I contacted Westinghouse and they did not want to own up to the television defect, which apparently everyone is having.

The customer service tech told my wife that they can give her a replacement television for $250. If there is no defect on these televisions, then why are they offering a replacement television? My wife ask to speak to a live supervisor, but the tech stated: "There is nothing but techs on the floor and there is no supervisor on the floor." The turn around time for a supervisor is 48 hours. Wow! A replacement T.V. for $250 is a lot of money. My complaint is simple, Westinghouse is not standing by their product. $250 is a lot of money for a T.V. that I just bought 2 years ago. We simply do not have that kind of money.

I had a LCD TV that was in warranty. Westinghouse tried everything in their power to avoid sending me a return authorization. After faxing them the receipt and emailing it to them, they kept saying it hadn't been received until I faxed every 20 minutes the receipt with a note that said, "I will continue until you recognize this has been received." Immediately a supervisor calls me with a return authorization.

Then, I send it to the repair facility bubble wrapped and then padded firmly all the way around in a box recommended and purchased at the UPS store. 4 days after they received it, they call to let me know it was cracked, wasn't packed correctly and that they would not fix it. I ask them what was the correct way to pack it. "I can't say," was the response I got. She said, I saw the pictures from the repair facility and it was not correct. She said she can't see the bubble wrap from the pictures. How does she know how it was packed? Once again they tried and this time succeeded in not doing a thing for me.

I purchased the Westinghouse sk-32h240s with anticipation of having years to enjoy my new television. Shortly after purchasing the television, it malfunctioned. It will not show a picture at all or make sound. I initially was told lightning struck it. After reading consumer complaints about the exact same model, I know there is definitely a defect with the television from the manufacturer.

I purchased my Westinghouse Flat Screen TV from Wal-Mart about 2.5 years ago. I turned it on today to watch the football game and get nothing but a 2 second picture and sound. Sign me up for the lawsuit! The TV was around $450.00 when I bought it.

I have bought 4 TVs from Costco model (SK #32H640G) for my business and after a year, two of my TVs stopped working. The power goes off after a while and will not turn on. I have taken it back to Costco and they had told me to contact Westinghouse for repair. I have called them and they have told me to provide proof of purchase and I did. Now, I am getting a run-around telling me that they will get back to me sometime later. I have not received any reply as to what will happen. It is very frustrating to not know the outcome. Please help. What should I do? I will never buy a Westinghouse product ever again. I will get Samsung next time.

I purchased a Westing House flat panel TV Dec 2008, and on July 29, 2010, the TV would not turn off. We thought the remote was broken, so we unplugged the TV. Next day the TV would not turn on at all and has never worked again. I have sent email to Westinghouse, but I have gotten no response.

I purchased a Westinghouse 26" HDTV 1080 SK-26H730S from Costco on March 8, 2009, still under warranty. A few months ago my TV started powering off. I called Costco and they routed my calls to Westinghouse in CA. "Simon #4039" promised an email of FedEx return shipment label. I never received it! I keep getting runaround & excuses when I contact them. I checked this website & found dozens of dissatisfied consumers with the same complaints that I have. WE all need help, please!

We purchased our Westinghouse 32" TV from Best Buy 2 years ago also for a crazy $699! In January of this year, we also lost the picture one night and all we wanted was a replacement TV. We had the original receipt and an extended warranty which we paid for and Best Buy as well as Westinghouse will do nothing to help us! Unless of course we pay for it-which costs basically the same amount these days as just buying a new TV. Conveniently our warranty was only for the one year, ha! Definitely sign me up for any class action lawsuit against this company.We have lost the cost of the TV ($700) plus the extended warranty. We did have to purchase a new TV now so that's another $350-$400. Ridiculous!

We purchased a 32" LCD HDTV in December of 2007 for $558 from Wal-Mart.com. Last night, the TV screen went completely out (it has thin colored lines running vertically on screen). The sound still works and you can change the channels. It is completely ridiculous that we paid that much money for a TV that only lasts 2 years. Remember when television sets used to last 20 years? We have sent Wal-Mart an email asking for their help with this situation but haven't gotten a response yet. We figure Wal-Mart would be more likely to do something to help us than Westinghouse after reading everyone else's complaints on this site. We would definitely participate in a class action lawsuit against Westinghouse.

I also have a 32-inch LCD HDTV (Model: SK-32H240S) and from all the complaints I"m reading, I know now what the "S" stands for. I got up this morning to have coffee and TV. All I had was sound and coffee. The screen comes on 1-2 seconds, then go blank. Cable TV is expensive to just listen to! I think $538.00+tax at Walmart would get a little involved. Westinghouse, what happened to pride in workmanship and responsibility to stand behind your products? I'm in if a class action starts. Also, I'm looking for an affordable fix. If found, I'll post it here. If anyone has an advice, email me at **.

I bought a Westinghouse sk-32H240S at WalMart in Del Rio, Texas in the Spring of 2008 and it went completely blank today, September 12, 2010. I cannot afford to have it replaced or fixed because I'm a single mother. Something needs to be done about this.

The TV is 47 inches was purchased on 6/15/2008 for the last 2 months the screen gets black but the sound still clear I am able to change channels. But we only heard is the sound and no picture the only thing that works is to unplug the power cord from the TV and then plug back in it will work for couple hours and then the screen gets black again. There is an inconvenient to go every time in the back of the set to unplug and plug back in the power cord this happen every day 3 to 4 times at least.

I bought a Westinghouse 32" HD LCD in March 2008 from Walmart. Today it went to dark screen with sound. I get a picture for about 1-2 seconds, then nothing. I contacted Westinghouse, Walmart and the CC company I used to purchase with, but because it was 5 months out of warranty, they would not help. I paid over $600 for this TV and it should last for more than 2-1/2 years. Odd that it would go out shortly after my extended CC warranty expired. Apparently, this is a very common problem and the manufacturer should help.

This is an exact story as Mike`s from Naperville, IL. We bought this TV in Naperville , IL at Best Buy. At that time we paid about $1300. In recent weeks, the TV has started to just turn off by itself or the screen goes black with no sound suddenly. I either have to use both the remote control and hit power or use the on/off button under the screen twice before the screen comes back on. But then, it goes off again and now I have to either turn off the power strip it's plugged into or unplug it,again, several times. I go through this process several times, then it will stay on until I turn it off. Next time I use it, it's the same old story.

Unbelievable! I just came here to look if there were anymore complaints posted since mine, and wow, there are a lot more with the same exact issue, not to mention they all have occurred within just days of each other. As I earlier mentioned, I contacted Westinghouse and they offered to send me the part for $200 + $15 s&h, which is ridiculous! Also I have begun a complaint process through (Los Angeles BBB). Please, all of you should do the same. It only takes a few minutes and they need to be aware of this issue. I didn't have an exact purchase date and was still able to submit the information. If anyone has yet begun a class action suit, please let me know. I would love to get involved. Please contact me at (***@aol.com) using Westinghouse in the subject line so that I know it's not spam. Thanks for your time and please, let's help each other with this issue. Westinghouse should not get away with ripping people off like this!

I also bought the Westinghouse LCD TV Model SK-32H240S and last week when I turned it on, the screen was black. I can hear the TV, change the channels and adjust volume. But no picture. The cable company said the TV is the issue. And I also purchased it in the Spring of 2008.

Westinghouse SK-32H240S LCD. I also had same experience this week. Picture no sound. Bummer. Should not have saved the money. Would like to join class action. Let me know.

I have had this 32' LCD-TV SK-32H420S for a little over 2 years and like many other complaints here, I have no picture but have sound! I thought it was the cable company but after reading the many similar complaints about the same TV, I guess it is not! It is hard to replace these items in this economy so now I am without a TV.

I bought a Westinghouse 32" LCD TV in February 2008. As of 2 days ago, the picture went out, but I had sound. I keep reading page after page of complaints by consumers on this matter, and honestly, I just emailed a law firm in Philly, PA asking how we can file a class action law suit. I just took the TV in for repairs and I am waiting to hear back as to, how much it's going to cost. I still have the receipt for the original purchase.

Honestly a company that is aware of the problem (as per the complaints on this site), and will not take responsibility, and issue a recall, should not be allowed to put their products on the market, without remedying the problem. I'm looking for reimbursement for the damages, as is everyone else who got ripped off by Westinghouse.

My fiance is the sole provider in this family, and due to having to have the TV repaired, we will probably not be able to buy groceries to feed our son. His pay a month net is $2,200, our rent is $1,000.00, bills add up to $600.00 (yes that's utilities), and after an estimate of about $200.00 (what the gentleman at the repair place quoted before checking it out), that leaves us with $400.00 for a month. Half of which ends up in my fiance's gas tank, due to the price of gas.

I recently submitted a complaint on this site and wanted to update any of you who have had the same issues with the Westinghouse TVs having sound with no picture. It is more than likely a factory defect since a lot of us are having the same exact issues. I contacted the Better Business Bureau in California.

Like many other complaints I have read on this site, I have a Westinghouse SK-32H240S LCD television that displays no picture, but I can hear the sound perfectly. Amy from Lewistown, PA was looking into class action lawsuits against Westinghouse for this problem. I did some research and while I was unable to find an existing class action, I found 4 lawyers in the state of PA who handle class action suits. One is in Pittsburgh; the other 3 are in Philadelphia. If anyone on here is interested in filing class action suit against Westinghouse, it appears that we will be required to start the process ourselves. It seems that anyone who purchased the SK-32H240S model of HDTV in the spring of 2008 is experiencing this problem around the exact same time. In other words, the problem is too new for an existing class action suit to be present.

I purchased a Westinghouse 19" LCD Flat screen TV in April 2008, and today I try to turn it on, and it will not power on. I called Westinghouse and they told me to try a new power cord, if that wasn't it then, I needed a new board which is $100 plus tax and $15.00 for shipping. Plus whatever a TV repairman would charge to diagnose the problem. You got to be joking! I spent $300 on the darn TV. I do not believe that a 3 year old TV should need a repair like that already. I will never buy a Westinghouse TV again.

In April 2008, we purchased a Westinghouse 32" LCD TV (SK-32H240S) from Wal-Mart for $550. This week the screen went black after being powered on allowing only the sound to function. Although the remote allows the channels to be changed (confirmed by sound), nothing can be seen on the TV itself, no menu screens, channel numbers, or anything else. Interestingly, the "W" logo and normal picture flashes on for about 2 seconds after the TV is powered on, then goes black. We cannot get through to Westinghouse customer service and decided to utilize the extra two year warranty we purchased through Wal-Mart with the TV. They promised a prepaid shipping box, free repair, a new TV, or a gift card. So we will see. We're hoping it was an extra $58 well spent.

I also have a complaint with Westinghouse. After doing very quick research, since there are so many complaints out there, I have found that the problem I have is seemingly common with Westinghouse TV's. I purchased the Westinghouse SK-32H240S 32" LCD in April 2008. Just the other day, my son turned it on, but it only have sound and no picture.

On here, I see a lot of people are having the same exact problem. I did a little research and found that it's the backlight that went out which is only fixable by replacing the main board on the TV. I called Westinghouse and they told me it would be $200 + $15 for them to ship me the part. Are you kidding me? There's no reason that a 2-year old TV should be needing a $200 repair, especially since it seems like a factory defect. Westinghouse should be paying the bill for this one! I've been searching the net to see if there's an active class action lawsuit against them for defective products. I'd like to get involved.

I bought a 32-in. flat screen Westinghouse TV in Jan 2008. This past week, I have picture but no sound. I have tried turning it off and on but that hasn't worked. From reading on this website, it seems like I need to just buy a new TV. Very sad since I have had older models of TVs that lasted longer. From reading on this website, this seems a chronic problem with the Westinghouse TV.

Before I saw this site and all the complaints, I was writing this to the "pay-for-advice" site I inadvertently went to before seeing this site.

"I have a Westinghouse LCD TV Model #LTV-30w2, of which I have been a very happy owner since purchasing it at Best Buy in the summer of 2005. In recent weeks it has started to just turn-off or the screen goes black with no sound suddenly. I either have to use the remote and hit power, but always twice, or use the on-off button under the screen, before the screen comes back on, then off again. Now I have to either turn-off the power strip it's plugged into or unplug it, again several times. I go through this process several times, then it will stay on until I turn it off. Next time I use it, same old story.

What could this be? Did I somehow set some timer I am not aware of? (I don't believe this to be the case). Please help. "

From reading the first couple pages on this site about these Westinghouse LCD TV's, I must assume I should be lucky it's still kinda-working, kinda. Oh well, it was a good five years.

I was watching the today show on my Westinghouse LTV-40W1 HDC widescreen DVD combo and all of a sudden the screen went black. The TV still had sound so I thought maybe the problem was with the cable. I'm able to change the channel but there is no channel. Attempts to contact customer service has been unsuccessful, it just rings busy. I attempted to go online but there's a charge for advice-what is that about.

We purchased this set Aug 06 ($1500)and have had no problems until now. I am very disheartened by the complaints I'm seeing, it leads me to believe this problem will not be fixed and we are out of money. We purchased Westinghouse because the company has been around for years and has always had good reputation. We should have some recourse-class action suit is not bad idea. We are in if it comes to that.

I spent $700 two years ago on my TV. Now it's going crazy on me. It's changing in to little stripes and little lines through the TV. And the warranty was only for one year.

I purchased a 46" LCD TV on May 30, 2008. The TV died - black screen - on January 14, 2010. Though it was still under warranty, they could not fix the issue. I had to wait until February 20 to get a replacement TV. It died six weeks later. After going back and forth with Westinghouse, I decided I wanted my money back. So I packaged the TV and sent all the paperwork they requested on April 20. I was told it would take four to six weeks to get my check. After getting no check after six weeks, I called and was told a check wouldn't be cut until July 30. Wow - after talking to these people and getting no response! It is now August 11, and still no check. Can somebody tell me how this company is still in business?

On October 28, 2008, I bought a 32" LCD HDTV. On July 10, 2010, the screen went black but I still had sound. I called customer service and they said that it was an internal problem and I would have to send it back paying postage and handling, and offered to sell me a new one over the phone. I took it to a shop and they charged me $218, citing that it was a power inverter board and wrote on the bill that it was a manufacture default. I believe that a TV should last longer than that and expect Westinghouse to pay the repair bill. From reading other complaints, I do not see this happening.

This TV has locked up regularly since it was new with the only way to get it back is to unplug it. Now it will start putting the picture in a bunch of striped lines in random order. It doesn't matter if it is on DVD input or TV modeit is all the same. The MFR has been contacted while it was in warranty and we were told that is was just because of weak signal. If that is so, then why does it do it with the TV in AUX input mode for DVD? That is an excuse to give me us the brush off. I have paid for an expensive electronic device that is frustrating to own because it is unreliable and Westinghouse refuses to replace or repair it as they should!

We purchased the Westinghouse 47"LCD television on 1/31/08. The television screen went blank, but had sound on 2/1/10. We called Westinghouse, and they offered us a 42" LCD television, providing we shipped the damaged TV back to them and pay $350. We did not want another Westinghouse television, due to the poor quality. We have contacted the Attorney General, and Better Business Bureau, but still no results.

I purchased a 42" Westinghouse LCD TV from target Feb, 2010. On 6/18/2010, my husband was watching TV, it made a loud popping noise and went out. He turned the TV off, then back on and it had a black screen w/ what looks like a bullet hole with colors around it. I contacted Westinghouse, sent numerous photos showing there's no damage to the screen etc...Looks like something blew inside it.

After going back and forth with Westinghouse (TV is still under the 1 yr manufactures warranty), a supervisor tells me today that their techs have determined that nothing inside the TV could have blown and they are not going to replace the TV. So were out of $500, and have to now purchase another TV. 4 months! Targets 30 day return policy expired exactly one month before this happened! I still have the receipt. I am disgusted my Westinghouse's attitude, especially after finding this site!

I own a Westinghouse 42" HDTV model # TX-42F430S. It is just over two years old and I have had it serviced twice for "Image Burning" in the screen. I first noticed the images of the menu screen as well as the "No Signal" notice at the top of the screen ans vertical lines while watching TV. Geek Squad replaced the panel and it was doing the same thing in less than a week. They put a "New" panel in and it did not work at all. They said it must have been damaged in shipping. One more strike and you're out.

After three repairs, the must give me a new replacement according to the 4 year protection plan i took when I purchase the set. This has been frustrating and very inconvenient. I will never buy another TV from this manufacturer again! Each time I need to have the service technician come to my home to repair the TV. I have to schedule my time to be available for their "window" time frame. This is disrupting me and my families schedule.

I purchased a 47inch Westinghouse LCD TV. Images are now burning into the screen, first the HMDI box in the top right hand corner, now when I moved the screen to standard instead of fill two more lines are now in the screen. Where the picture ended and the black began is where the lines are. It only took maybe two hours to develop the lines. Very disappointed in the quality of the screen, images should not be burning into the screen.

In February of 2008, I purchased a 32 inch Westinghouse LCD model no. sk-32H240S from Walmart that came with a 2yr warranty. On July 23, 2010, I turned my TV on; it has great sound and no picture. Customer service does not even pick up, I am a single mother and I do not have the funds to spend on a new TV at this time. I am very disappointed, and just sickened to see the amount of complaints on this site.

I bought a Westinghouse 42" LCD TV from Target. I set it up at home. It looked great but then after watching it for less than one hour, it shut itself off. When I tried to turn it back on, the W' logo appeared on the screen, flickered briefly, and then the set shut itself off again. It did this for many tries. Target did give me a full refund but after reading all the other complaints about Westinghouse here, I think I'll go with another brand.

We have had this Westinghouse Flat screen TV for 2 years. The screen went blank; we have sound and have tried everything. I called a TV repair man and he told me to buy a new TV, and don't buy a Westinghouse again. We don't have the money to buy a new TV right now. And a TV should last more than 2 years. Westinghouse will not back there product. Please help.

I bought a 32 inch LCD TV from Sam's Club in July 2008. A couple of days ago, the picture disappeared. I have sound but no picture. If anyone is in the market for LCD TV, look around. There are way too many complaints out there about the quality of Westinghouse LCD TVs.

We purchased a Westinghouse LCD television approx 2 yrs ago, and now the picture goes black with no sound. The blue power light remains on and sometimes alternates from blue to orange. I still have televisions in my home that are over 20 yrs old that work like a charm even having been moved and bumped around a million times. customer service is of no help, the number is often busy. (I'm assuming from the thousands of other complaints). I want my money back. I, by nature do not complain, but this company is nothing but thieves! They should be sued. Seriously, do not buy Westinghouse! $1000.00 dollars flushed down the toilet!

I can see that it would be useless to contact the manufacturer (Westinghouse). I bought a 32" Westinghouse TV model SK-32H240S about 2 years ago. I have sound, but no picture. I've tried unplugging it to hopefully reset something a number of times, but that's not working. I don't have the money to spend on another TV. I was just looking up for repair places in my area when I went to this site. It looks like I would be throwing good money after bad since Westinghouse doesn't supply the parts to repair their TVs. Thanks for the info!

Wow. Initially, I went online to ask a question about my Westinghouse 40-inch TV/DVD combo that is only two years old (great sound, but no picture). To add insult to injury, the web site wanted me to pay for tech advice. I'll call a local repair shop and they charge a $40 fee to "look" at the TV, but when I mentioned it was a Westinghouse the fee rose to $60 along with some free advice. Buy a new TV. I'm shopping as we speak. Please let me know if plans afoot to file a class action suit against Westinghouse!

We were given the 26-inch Westinghouse HDTV for a house warming gift from our entire family three months ago. Yesterday, the screen went blank while watching a program and began flashing the Westinghouse logo every 30 seconds or so. I can't get it to work for nothing. I called Customer Service and was told that we should take it back to the retailer, but when we took it back to where our family had purchased it, the retailer told us that the manufacturer has to handle the issue. I called back Customer Service and the guy literally chuckled at me and said, "Sorry, you're out of luck. We can't fix what you broke." When I told the young man that we had done absolutely nothing to the TV to make it break, he told me there was nothing they could do. Do not buy Westinghouse. Ridiculous.

Model LTV32w1 all of a sudden quit working. Blank screen. Very frustrating! No response from customer service. I was shocked to see how many other people have had problems and no help from the company.

Wow! I cannot believe all these negative comments. My husband and I also bought a Westinghouse LCD 42 in. TV. We are going on two years and the picture is blank. The sound is there, but no picture. I am so sad to hear that I am far from the only one experiencing this tragedy. Please let me know if anyone will be doing anything legally; We're in!

Nothing worked. We have been online trying to find an authorized repair facility and basically were told no one would work on the television. This was a major purchase for us and we waited for our 25th wedding anniversary to make the purchase of an HDTV. We chose Westinghouse because of their good reputation, however, the television lasted only two years. We would like a new HDTV.

Okay. Now I have a TV I paid top dollar for at Target and because I'm old and have poor eye sight I have to pay someone to come out and figure out how to reprogram my TV because you gave me a bad customer service phone number. I'm on SS which hurts my budget. Shame on you! DAMAGE? Word of mouth, Westinghouse is on my black list. No wonder no one buys American.

Westinghouse will look at it to determine the problem; if it can not be repaired, I will be sent a refurished model. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE after owning a product for less than 5 months and being sold a defected product. I recommend that you do your reseach before purchasing such products. On this one you should KEEP YOUR MONEY IN YOUR POCKET! Likely to receive a refurished product after purchasing the television less than 5 months ago. A financial loss to me for a worthless product.

Maybe a month after that a dark fuzzy line appeared just to the left of the right side of the screen. Both became more noticable as time went on. I started wondering if this was a common complaint. I searched the internet and low and behold there was a plethora of the same complaints. Why is it okay that a company sell a product at such a price and not be accountable? Something has to be done.

I have owned a Westinghouse flat screen television for under two years and lately it has been turning on by itself at random times. I now have to unplug it to keep it from coming on when I am not home or sleeping.

I purchased a Westinghouse 26' LCD TV at target one and a half year ago. Recently, I couldn't turn the TV on. Immediately after I turn it on, a log came up and then the black screen. I tried to contact the customer service number on the menu and was told that the number was not working.

This is such a horrible company and the product is only good for a year?

I purchased a Westinghouse TV 3-1/2 years ago. I spent $1000.00 on this TV. Now all of a sudden, it is like the TV goes blank and goes from a blue light to a orange light. I have to wait 20 minutes for it to work again. Then it only last for 5 minutes before it does it again. The picture when it is on looks great. I have not a clue why all of sudden it started to do this. I contacted customer support and could not get an answer. Now that I have read the numerous complaints, I don't know if it is worth trying to fix. It's irritating when you pay quite a bit for a TV that goes bad that soon. I have an old box TV that is over 10 years old that have given me no problems at all. I guess I am going to go buy a new one, but not Westinghouse.

We purchased a Westinghouse LCD TV Model SK-19H210S in Dec 2007 for my grandmother who is in a nursing home. It quit working last fall, but because I was traveling for the winter, I did not know until I recently returned home. It has absolutely no power going to it. It was less than 2 years old and it has been used very little. It cost almost $300 at Sam's club and now that we are retired and need a new TV ourselves, we can not afford to buy her another new one. At first, I thought maybe we had just bought a lemon. It happens sometimes. But after looking this up on the internet and seeing how many other people have had problems with this TV, I am very angry. An expensive TV should last more than 2 years and now, my 95-year old grandmother does not have a TV. I will never buy anything Westinghouse again.

I purchased a 32' Westinghouse flat screen TV, and the volume turns down automatically. I could be watching TV and the volume will decrease. The volume screen would remain on the screen, making it impossible to change the volume back to normal.

I purchased a 27-in Westinghouse LCD TV from Sam's around 18 months ago. While we were watching, TV goes blank; no picture and no sound, but the blue power light is still on. After an undetermined amount of time, it just came back on. Then again, it happened out of nowhere. I can't believe a company would sell something for $500 and expect the consumer to accept the TV is only going to last for less than two years! I spent our savings on this TV and can't afford to replace it after only a year and a half.

I turned the two and a half year old TV on last night, April 13th 2010. It has sound but no picture and I tried everything I could think of.

My cable company came out today at my request and said it was the TV. We have three other normal TVs and they are fine. I tried to call the 800 number in the manual and got the fast busy signal that indicates the number is not working. I went to the troubleshooting instructions and I could not believe what I read in the section that dealt with sound, no picture. It actually tells one to press the menu button, then go to channel, do something, then scroll to settings, etc. The screen is black! It's hard to see the menu, folks. I tried the 800 number again today and got the same response.

Obviously, I am not alone. It seems to be a common complaint. I emailed them today but from most of the complaints I just read, I'm not too optimistic about hearing from Westinghouse.

I haven't suffered economic damage yet but I will either have to face a repair bill if it doesn't cost too much or do without a TV, as we cannot afford to replace it. It was a gift from our son.

I purchased a 17-inch TV in 2008, and it just died and is not working anymore. This is crazy, I have TVs that I have had for well over ten years and they are still working. I paid over three hundred dollars and and have to purchase another TV, or just watch the walls. Interesting.

Two years ago, my wife and I made our first major purchase. We purchased a 32-inch Westinghouse TV 1080 LCD. We paid 560 dollars, our entire savings.

Now, it has no picture and has only sound. I went online to get help and came across complaints from others about the same problems. Come on Westinghouse, are you kidding? They should stand by their customers and do the right thing. All of us have had TVs that last well over 15 years. Why are they still selling Westinghouse TVs everywhere? Does anyone care and can anyone please help us?

Since the TV is not working and our investment money is gone, we have had a breakdown in our family many times. We have since moved on but still, we have no TV and it will take another year or two to save enough money to purchase another one. This has caused much physical and financial stress.

I bought a Westinghouse TV 32 in and it no longer works. I only had it for a year and the picture doesn't work. I tried to contact Westinghouse but I just get the the runaround so I'm going to take other approach to this. I'm talking to a lawyer to see if something can be done. If more people come forward, we might have a big case. We should at least have are money back for them.

Our Westinghouse SK26H590D TV which we purchased less than 2 years ago is not working. The unit powers on, the picture shows for a second and then the screen goes black; however, the sound continues to play. We contacted Westinghouse and they pretty much have told us, it will be cheaper to buy a new TV than fix the unit that we have and we have been told to take it to a repair shop or ship it back to them and they will evaluate the TV and tell us what it will require for the repairs. We are out of pocket now over $300 for a TV that we have owned for less than 2 years

I had issues with the TV after only 13 months. I called Westinghouse a few times trying to get help, but it took 7 or 8 calls over a long period of time. In the end, they took care of me and I have a new Westinghouse TV care of the service department. Be patient and explain the issues to them They have changed management since the issue that were going on more than six months ago, and things are shaping up. Also, the people I spoke with were all very nice even though I was always mad! They came through in the end, and I think they will catch up with the issues soon, and it will be a much better repair service in the future due to the new management.

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 followed 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 **.

If you would look online it seems like all the 19 inch Westinghouse TVs are failing after about 14 months (like mine). Can't we do something? It seems ridiculous that a company can put an inferior produce out and suffer no consequences. I am a very angry consumer!

I purchased a refurbished 46-inch Westinghouse HDTV on 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, and then the warranty should take effect. I really had no problem with my TV till 01/25/10. When I went to turn it 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 TVs are not covered under warranty, only new TVs. 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 bought the TV brand new on Nov. 26th. A month later, the picture is distorted. We called customer service. They told me that I have to pay shipping to send the TV back, so they can give me a refurbished TV when I had bought it brand new. What can we do about this?

I own a 32-inch Westinghouse LCD TV which started having problems about 2 years out from purchase at Best Buy (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.

I paid $60 to have it looked at. I am afraid it may cost more if there is solution costing less than $150. I am joining the throng of unhappy consumers against Westinghouse. Never again!

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.

I called them up with all of this information and all they said was that they could do nothing at all and I should contact an out of warranty repair technician to fix the problem. I believe that this company is falsely advertising this product. I paid around $450.00 for this model for my son and it is not working in the way it was advertised to work. I cannot afford a new television currently and feel that any television should live up to features.

I'm writing today to let you know that I will NEVER buy another Westinghouse product again. Ever.

After a couple of weeks they sent me a newer model than my previous one and I was rather happy. But when I was told that the warranty from my first television would carry over to the new one, I was rather disappointed and didn't think that was right at all since it was a completely different model and was brand new (or so I was told).

The new television was working fine until just after the one year warranty expired of course. The picture began to flutter just like the previous model. I was livid. I called customer service and was told I was out of luck and they gave me the names of authorized repair centers. Of course I never got it repaired because the cost of diagnosis and repair would far exceed the value of the television.

So now myself and my family have to deal with a television that intermittently flutters for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. Very annoying and not worth the time and money spent.

I have recently bought a new home and will be moving in soon. My future entertainment room will NOT include a Westinghouse television but rather a Samsung instead.

I will never trust and or purchase another Westinghouse product again.

Now when I play with the tv the blue light will take a long time to come on.

I purchased a 19 inch Westinghouse hdtv model number sk-19h210s for my son about two years ago. I gave it to him as a Christmas gift. It was in "actual" use for about 19 months before it totally died. It would not turn on. We could hear something inside the unit making a soft buzzing noise but that was it.

After much research I have discovered that it is the "norm" for Westinghouse TV's to up and die without warning in less than two years time. Three hundred dollars down the drain. Sad. There should be a class action suit against Westinghouse. I went to their web site and there isn't even a dealer within 50 to 100 miles of us and Best Buy no longer carries them (because they were junk).

I don't think it would do much good to contact the company. It seems that there must be at least 100 people that have posted on line that they do nothing and are rude.

I had to purchase another tv for my son. Another 300.00. At least this time there is a 2 year factory warranty and the set is a little bit larger.

I went online to see if I could find anyone familiar with this problem and to my surprise, found the what seems to be posibly hundreds of people who had purchased this product had the same problem with it.

I thought Westinghouse was a good company. They our not. I will not buy another product from them. Now I am out a TV I paid 600.00 dollars for and can't fix or replace. I don't have the resources. It took 6 months to save this money. I will tell everyone I know not to buy these Tv's from Westinghouse.

My parents bought me a Westinghouse LCD tv (i think 19") in March of 2008. This week, on Oct. 21st, the television will not work. All it does is flash on and off, and now it won't turn on altogether. I tried unplugging it; I thought it was my cable at first, but then I tried a DVD and it did the same thing; and now it won't turn on. The blue light that is supposed to come on to show that it is on, very faintly flickers on. I watch tv for about 2 hours a day, and just out of nowhere, it stopped working, and of course, the warranty is expired. How nice.

I purchased a 26" Westinghouse TV from Sam's Club a little over a year ago and the TV went dead the other day. It is a secondary TV so it doesn't get used very much. I went to Sam's to let them know and since the warranty is up there is nothing we can do but try to have it fixed at an independent service company. When I spoke to A LOCAL SERVICE COMPANY they said they can not get parts from Westinghouse or support so they will not touch it. $500 for a TV that last 1 year and has to be thrown away, DO NOT BUY A WESTINGHOUSE TV!!!!

I called Westinghouse customer service and since it was over a year, the warranty was expired. They gave me the number for a local Sears store to get a repair estimate. It was a miniumum of $105 to have someone come out to our house and look at it. Based on what I've seen, I will not buy Westinghouse again. Blown transformer/inverter. $100+ to repair.

After buying a 32" Westinghouse Television in december 06" the television just died. screen was black last night with only sound this morning. when we replug it in to outlet it not working... no audio no picture nothing. call manufacturer. they are telling me I have to find cost of repairs. Please look into this because i paid over $500 for this television and expected longer service from it

You can add our TV to the list of complaints regarding Westinghouse model # SK-19H210S. We purchased the set at Sams Club in January of '08. The trouble started with the TV alternating between 'TV' and 'DTV'...all on its own. Then there would be no picture, but the sound remained; then no sound, but the picture would come on. Finally NOTHING...the TV was dead. My husband decided to investigate, via the Internet, the possibility that others may have experienced a similar situation. We had no idea of the scope of the problem with this particular Westinghouse brand TV! We will lodge a complaint with the company, regardless of their indifference, as many others have stated. We decided to avoid the repair costs, which we anticipated, would most likely be as costly as finding a replacement. Bottom line...NO more Westinghouse, in this house...EVER!

Based on the number of complaints I've seen on a Google search, DON'T BUY ANY WESTINGHOUSE PRODUCT IF YOU NEED A QUALITY PRODUCT.

About 18 months ago I purchased a new Westinghouse 32" flat screen TV from Walmart. The TV worked great until a About A Week ago. My Wife took it to the local repair shop to get it fixed, because it started shutting off and would not stay turned on Also Had A Burning Smell. I was informed by Perkins TV repair in Baileyton Al. That I could possibly get parts to repair my TV. So, basically I have to Spend Approximately $250.00 On A TV That Cost Over $500.00 To Get It To Work Again , and could possibly Tear Up Again

About 18 months ago I purchased a new Westinghouse 32" flat screen TV from Best Buy. The TV worked great until a few days ago. I took it to our local repair shop to get it fixed, because it started shutting off and would not stay turned on. I was informed by Hepner's TV repair in Wichita that Westinghouse and several other name brands have been purchased by companies in China and they cannot get parts to repair these TVs. So, basically I have to throw a $500 TV into the trash because it can't be fixed. So, please check with your local repair shop before spending a lot of money on a big screen TV that might not be able to be repaired.

In May 2008 I purchased a 19" Westinghouse LCD TV SK-19H210S from Best Buy for my guest room, using (2) $100 gift certificates from my children and over $100 out of pocket....I did not take out the extended warranty, BIG BIG MISTAKE! If the TV was on 100 times in the past 15 months it was a LOT! It is the worst piece of junk I have ever purchased!

I used a power strip and went out yesterday (not a cloud in the sky) and came home to a bright screen...(I did not leave it on while I was out). I thought,,,,this isn't good! However, when I tried to get a picture (using cable) I could hear sound but no picture...then purple and black vertical lines..then NOTHING! I had to unplug it because it was getting hot and I couldn't turn it off even manually!

I did call BB and they said...if it makes you feel any better,,,we don't carry that brand anymore! Am I supposed to come up with $300 every year for a TV!? I would not even bother fixing it...JUNK! BEWARE!!!!!!! I will try the 866 # tomorrow but doubt anything will come of it! I am SO aggravated.

I bought a brand new Westinghouse 32 in color TV in March 2009 and the color is gone out, so I have a year and extra year extension. So I called and they sent me a lable from Fed-X to pick it up. So I called to let them now and they told me they were sending me a refurnished TV and I fill like thats not fair, because I bought it brand new so why send me a use TV, I have my reciept. So what am I suppose to do, it just not fair.

My wife bought me a Westinghouse SK-19H210S LCD TV for Christmas 2007. I plugged it in and have had no problem until June 5, 2009. I turned the TV on and got nothing. No power to the TV. I unplugged it then plugged it back in still nothing. I checked the cord and I had power to the end. The unit was purchased without an extended warranty. I found the paperwork and noticed that the unit only had a one year warranty on it.

Since the warranty had expired I searched the internet and found many many people had the same problem with the same set. All units had power supply failure within 14 to 17 months after purchase. I called Westinghouse and actually did get to talk to someone. He told me I would have to purchase the replacement parts and fix the TV myself because the warranty had expired. I do not have a problem with that, what I do have a problem with is the response I received when I asked the tech on the phone about all the complaints I found on the internet. His response when asked if Westinghouse was going to do something because so many people had the same problem was as follows:

I will never by another White Westinghouse product again.

I purchased a Westinghouse LCD TV (Pt-16H610S at Target Store on May 9, 2008. I returned it to Westinghouse Digital Electronics and they received it well within the one year warrantee, specifically on April 6. I have received nothing but a run-around, non-reponses and broken promises. No one at Westinghouse takes ownership of the problem. The set was part of a kitchen remodelling which went well except for this utter disregard of my problem with Westinghouse.

Westinghouse service center rarely answers it's phone, doesn't return emails or phone messages and when you do get a chance to talk to someone, they tell you they have no status update or they lie to you and say your TV has been shipped but they don't have a tracking number and to call back the next day. Same thing over and over. Going on now for weeks and I have no idea how to get my TV back. TV was originally $800 and I paid an additional charge to send it back as per Westinghouse instruction.

After having my Westinghouse 37" LCD for 9 months, I suddenly had no picture. I said no problem, I'm still under warranty. After having to search the web for the correct CS #, I discovered that it seems they are no longer answering their phones. After endless recordings about the next rep will assist you in the order in which the call was recieved, blah blah blah, I was connected to their "general mailbox" and instructed to leave a message.

THEN I started researching this issue on the web, and after reading horror stories on this site, as well as similar stories on other sites, I saw no need to go any further. I do not need that kind of drama in my life. I have called my TV guy, and he is going to fix it. He offers a REAL 1 year warranty on the set.

Buyer beware. There is no customer service. Period.

I purcased a Westinghouse digital ltv-32w3 32" lcd tv on feburary 17 2009. I had the tv for 1 week when the picture started to turn blue after 15 to 20 minutes. After conacting company and waiting for a RMA # to ship the unit back to the company and then fighting with UPS about shipping the tv which they didnt had to use fedex I got the tv shipped out on March 24 2009. Called them about 2 weeks later and they received the tv.

After a few more weeks I called back and they said it was going to be shipped out May 4 2009 or May 5 2009. I didnt receive or hear from them after a few more weeks so i called back and now the phone # is disconnected. I went online and e-mailed them with no response.

So I found another phone # and talked to somebody on 5-26-09 and got a case # and somebody was supoosed to call me in a couple days and if no one called to call back now I dont get any answer at this phone # after several atempts.

I bought a 26" Westinghouse Flat Screen TV Model # SK26H730S on 11/28/08 from Target. I also bought a 3 year Service Plan. The television has a terrible buzz noise in the speakers. My error, I did not take it back to Target immediately - busy with the Holidays, etc. went on a trip for 2 months, and when I got back the 3 months of coverage under Target was no longer in effect.

Took it to Target, not knowing at the time about the 90 day return policy; they told me to deal with Westinghouse. I figured "no problem", I had a Service Contract for 3 years. That lost cause began in April. I have been told, as everyone else, either pay for a 3rd party service person to come out (approximately $100 - $150) or return it to Westinghouse.

Still waiting for that #, but after reading all the problems, decided I am not going to send it back or pay to have it repaired.

I will also tell everyone of my friends, of which I have many, not to buy their products either. Wonder why our country is falling behind Japan, China, Korea and other countries that WE once put back on their feet? Because there is no longer any pride in what is made in this country. There is no pride in self or of a job well done. All most are doing is "just what is necessary to get by"; no quality control; and the biggest problem in this country is GREED! That is what has caused our current problems.

Unless people quit accepting the crap that is being pushed off on us by greedy companies and start demanding quality products, we will continue to have to deal with the problems we are now experiencing with things like this Westinghouse piece of crap.

The only way we can fight back is with our pocketbooks. If it means a company going out of business, good, if the reason they are losing business is because of inferior merchandise.

It has to start somewhere, let it be with us.

I bought Westinghouse 26" LCD monitor(l2610nw) in march 2009 for $250. It worked properly for hardly 5 days, then the screen started flickering and went blank. I called the horrible westinghouse customer service and as you all know they made me wait for a week to generate a stupid RMA number. Then, I paid $80 to ship it to their freaking place in Texas. My shipment reached their place on March 31st and I called these guys after 10 days, they said they were waiting for a replacement product from the warehouse.

I called after a week, no status update. I called after another 10 days, they said the product is now in some freaking pickup status. Since then, I have been calling every other alternate days to bug these guys but every other time its me who will be ended up as a fool. I keep on asking these guys to have the supervisor talk to me but no one calls me back. I called them today and still get the same answer - "Unfortunately I do not see a status update".... Will ever people who sent their products to this freaking service center get them back??

It has been 8 weeks and I get the same answer from customer service that their waiting for corporate approval to ship a replacement unit.

WE too are having a problem with our 32 inch LCD, model #SK32H240S!! At the same time others are having problems, at about the 1 to 1 1/2 year timeframe our tv just made a loud 'pop/crack' sound and went black! It will not turn back on at all....no sound, no picture, nothing!!!! Apparently, from all I am reading now, it is just a piece of 'junk'!!! We are joining the class action lawsuit we just found on line!!!!

Like they say: "...if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."

On February 11, 2009, I purchased Westinghouse's 32" LCD Widescreen TV and 19" computer monitor from one of my favorite online retailers for what I thought were bargain prices. On February 27, the power supply of the LCD went out. Two weeks later, the power supply on the monitor also went out. The devices were still under manufacturer's warranty. I reported the problems to Westinghouse's customer service, and on their insistence, I paid the shipping charges to return the equipment to them. I have called them several times since then for repair or replacement to no avail. One day, they'd tell me that there's no record their warehouse has received the returned equipment. Another day, they'd say the warehouse received them but there's no status update. Other days, they'd promise to escalate the matter to "Corporate Office" for resolution. The excuses go on and on. And yet, at this time, I am out of almost $500 which I paid for both equipment.

Now, when it comes to Westinghouse products, I have come to believe two things, namely:
1. The company doesn't manufacture good products.

2. Its after-sales product support, including its warranty, is lousy.

And so, whenever you see a storefront pitching to sell "premier 42", Full High Definition, 1080p Displays" made by Westinghouse for an "incredible deal (of) $579.99," I feel a sense of obligation to warn you: "Buyer Beware!". That's all.

1-09 - 10 month 32 Inch Television screen went black. Called westinghouse since it was still under warrenty. Put a claim in which they said it would take 5 days to produce an RMA# and it would be emailed to me. No email with instructions.

2-09 - After waiting a month for an RMA# called back and the rep. stated it wasnt even filed! That he was going to do it for me and it would take up to five days. .... No email.

3-09 Since my warrenty expired at the end of Feb. I had to get it approved. That took a week.

4-09 Then the RMA# and shipping address was emailed to me. It took $$90.00 to send back. The tracking on UPS said it got there around the 8th of March. I called on the 10th to make sure they had received it, they said it takes up to ten days to process. So i called back on the 20th. They said it was sitting in shipping waiting to be shipped to call back in five days for the tracking number to follow it home! called back on the 27th, they said it was still sitting there! Called back on the 29th.... still sitting there and that they would put an URGENT notice on it for me. (how nice)

5-09 Called today may 4th... and the rep. told me that it was still being processed and they didnt get it until 4-20 which is a total lie. and that it was not in shipping but in the repair center.

Every time I call I get a different answer to where my television is at. Its very frustrating and i'll never buy another product off wesinghouse. not only am i out 600 dollars for the television, i'm out the 90 dollars it took to ship back. I have no other television and i have to pay my cable bill every month to not even be able to watch it.

We had to send our LCD 40" with DVD player to the Westinghouse Warranty Service in El Paso, Texas for the warranty service. We had to pay about $118 to have it shipped. Westinghouse refused to pay for the shipment. We sent the LCD on 12/19/08.

When calling for an update over the past 5 months, we have had several different "stories" told to us by tech support , such as 'the TV has to be replaced and we will ship a unit when we find one', 'a unit has been found and will be shipping in 10-15 days', then when we called for a tracking number 4 weeks later because we never received the shipment, we were told the shipment didn't take place and that a status report will have to be filed again (#3) because there is no information available, and of course over the past 5 months we have heard "no news yet, call back in 1 week", "call back in 1 week", "call back in 1 week"-you get the picture. Why should I use my cell phone minutes just to hear these probable lies? If the tech support doesn't know anything are they told to mislead the consumer just to appease them?

About 3 weeks ago we sent a letter to corporate offices to the CEO (copies to the President, VP of Sales and VP of Marketing) explaing the situation. We have not heard anything.

I want everyone to know about the problems we have had with this warranty service!

We bought a 37" westinghouse LCD monitor from Buy.com in September 2008. It worked for about 5 months before the picture disappeared. I immediately called Westinghouse customer service, and was told that the "back light" had gone out, and that they'd be emailing me an RMA # to return the broken unit. I followed their instructions, paid $250 out of my own pocket to send the defective monitor to them, then waited five days (as they asked) to contact them about status. It took them two weeks to get the television into their system.

It's now been two MONTHS and dozens of calls, and I've been told any number of things, from, "no status update" to "the manager will call you" (this never happens, by the way), to, this past monday, "we've been authorized to send you a 42" television since we no longer make the 37". I'll be in touch with a tracking number within 24-48 hours." I called back today - Friday - and "no status update."

I cannot speak to a manger - he has to 'call me'. He doesn't. I have, apparently, NO recourse, and feel as if my money is being held hostage. I've also learned, since, that I'm not alone here. THOUSANDS of complaints of this very type have been made against Westinghouse about their inability to honor their warranties, and some people have never received their replacement televisions. And now, I read Westinghouse Digital may have filed for bankruptcy. I don't know what to do.

The purchase of this television was NOT something I took lightly. We absolutely cannot afford to have thrown $850 away, and I will KEEP FIGHTING this deplorable customer service department and this incredibly unethical company until I see resolution.

I purchased a 19 inch flat screen monitor L1975NW from best Buy. When I opened box the stand was missing. I called Best Buy they said that was the last one and I could return it. Before I decided to return it I called Westinghouse Customer service. I explained what happened the representative said No problem you will receive it next week. % weeks and 4 calls later I still haven't received the stand, and now its too late torn to BB because of a re-stocking fee.

Every time I call Westinghouse I'm told the message was forward to Corporate. I ask for a Supervisor, I'm told there aren't any. I ask for a call back, don't get one. Ask for Consumer Affairs I'm told they don't have number. What kind of a Mickey-Mouse operation do you run? I've been way too patient, my next call is to BBB.

Missing the Monitor Stand

We purchased a brand new westinghouse widescreen hdtv model sk-32h240s on 3/25/08 from a local walmart store. Feb 2009 it went completely black. Walmart said we had to contact westinghouse since 90 days had passed. westinghouse told us that we had to ship the tv to them at our own expense which totaled $220.00 using u.p.s. Westinghouse makes themselves very evasive both via internet and by telephone.

Westinghouse told me that if our tv could not be repaired, a new tv would be shipped to me at their shipping expense. After six weeks we received a new tv. I plugged it in and immediately this new tv now has diagonal lines across the screen. I then checked my connections and I found a sticker covering the original serial number that reads refurbished and with a new serial number on this same sticker.

We originally paid $604.04 for it at walmart. We are now expected to again ship this tv back to Westinghouse at our expense. Do the math. I purchased a new working tv or at least I thought I did from Walmart, and I've yet to receive one. I'm going to end up paying Westinghouse twice the original purchase price now. I really need any kind of help from anyone.

If I want a new tv now such as another brand, I end up losing what I spent to both Walmart and Westinghouse.

Do not buy Westinghouse flat screen televisions they are terrible. There customer service is terrible as well and there is not any places in a town of 650,000 people that you can go and get if fixed.

I had too throw away a 2.5 year old TV that I paid $1500 for.

We purchased the TV from Sam's Club about 1.5 yrs ago. For the past 4 months, the screen has been black or freezing up with a picture burned into it - that may or may not turn into a different frozen picture.

We are out $500+ dollars!

After 14 months (warranteed for 12) the TV developed a vertical line,which verified bu their techs as well as service people is known to happen in LCD TVs and is a bad panel. Uto dealers when they know of a problem have a recall..should not TV companies do the same?

Being on a fixed income,and having retired 1 1/2 years ago, I spent $1000 for this TV. To buy another one after a year plus is not feasible and to replace a panel is as much as new TV.

We own the LTV 27-W6 HD widescreen HDTV Westinghouse TV which has scrambled for about 6 months now. The warranty has expired. We bought the TV from Video Only who will not do anything to homor the TV since we bought it in '06. Today we called Westinghouse who said we could submit an RMA# claim and ship the TV to Texas and that they would in turn send us a refurbished TV of similar value to what we have. Ours is in excellent condition other than the fact that it tends to randomly scramble, uncontrollably. To be cont. We don't know what kind of can of worms we are opening now...

We paid $979.19 for the TV, will have to pay to have it shipped to Texas. We hope that we will get something in return..

I bought a 37 LCD monitor from Westinghouse. Just shy of two years old, it stops working and, in fact, begins to smoke whenever I turn it on. Customer service says that, since it is a discontinued model that they no longer make parts for, they will replace it if I ship it to them. Packaging and shipping to California from Tennessee is nearly $200.

So far, it has been five weeks since UPS shows they received the monitor. I've been promised all kinds of things, including a bigger monitor for a replacement, call backs from supervisors and shipping dates that keep getting moved back week after week. Yesterday, after being told it would be another week before it would ship, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, the Federal Trade Commission and the Attorney General of California. I WILL get their attention.

Bought a Westinghouse LVM-42w2 and was loving it. About 3 months out of warranty it went bad. The DVI ports on it started going all screwy. Had i not been using the ports I might not have minded so much but I had a Home Theater PC hooked up to one and my Digital set top box to the other. I called Westinghouse and they told me the that it was out of warranty but that if I could send it back to then they would still fix it. I was ecstatic to say the least. Pay about $100 to send it back and get it fixed for free even though the warranty is up, I was OK with that. So I sent it in and it did not take very long. Got my unit back in about 2 weeks or so. Problem was this new unit had two vertical rows of dead pixels.

So I called them up to see what could be done. The service rep said that since it was a failed RMA they would issue shipping labels and allow me to send it back for a replacement. Again, I was OK with that. So about 2 weeks pass and I don't have any shipping labels. I had to call 2 more times to get the labels e-mailed to me. Once I finally got the labels I was able to send the TV in to be replaced... a second time. Well the TV got to them on Oct. 3, 2008 and I still do not have a replacement. I have been calling for the past month!! to see what is going on. I know it was checked into there system on the 7th of October but after that it does not seem like anything has happened.

Multiple status requests have been sent out to, from what I have been told, everyone and still nothing has happened. I will be calling them back, again, tonight and if something does not happen i am going to find other ways to get what I want. At this point it is getting ludicrous. I'm not sure what action I can take but at this point I will consider almost anything to get my TV back. I could have almost bought and paid off a new TV by now and I am a poor college kid.

Had my Westinghouse SK-32H240S-B 32 720p LCD HDTV for 30 days and picture begins to flutter. Call Westinghouse and now I have to pay $55.00 to ship it to Tx. There's no service center in New Orleans. What a rip off. DON'T BUY A WESTINGHOUSE!

Westinghouse LCD Television M/N: LTV-32w3 HD and -32w6 HD, picture begins to flutter after approximately a year of service. I've had to exchange the first one (which was fortunately under warranty) and the second one will need to be repaired. In my opinion this brand of television is not trustworthy or dependable.

I'll have to spend a pretty penny to have this one evaluated and repaired. It's not fair.

I sent in my television for rma (while under warranty) about six months ago. I had to make numerous calls to get them to send me another tv. When they did finally send me one it was an older model then the one I had purchased and it was cracked. I had to file an insurance claim with ups. I was told that they would send me another tv but they have yet to do so. I keep calling and I keep getting no information, all they can do is keep putting in status requests, which are never responded to. I have asked for the money from the insurance claim and they said that they could not do that. I ask if there is anything that I can do to expedite the process and I am told there is nothing I can do but wait. I ask if there is any time frame that they can give me and they say no there is none.

I used the tv for about 3 months only and westinghouse has been holding my tv hostage for about 6 months and counting. The value of my tv keeps depreciating and I can't even get any use out of it. Is there no limit to how long they can hold my tv for?

I PURCHASED TWO 40 TV'S FROM WESTINGHOUSE ON 12-10-2007. ON 1- 21-2008 ONE HAD A PROBLEM AND DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I CONTACTED THE COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO SERVICE CENTER NEAR ME TO TAKE IT TO AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE MAILED TO CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS VERY COSTLY.

I have requested they send me a new tv or a refund. I can only imagine how long it will take this time for them to get back to me. Our family really needs to have a tv in the house, we have 4 children!!! I hope to have a positive outcome from this or this will definitely be my last Westinghouse purchase. Thank you.

I bought a plasma TV 18 months ago, Model LTV-27w2, 27 inches, HD Plasma, for $900 at Best Buy, well after 18 months of using the TV, is broken, the screen doesn't work anymore, there are lines all across the screen, every time you display the menu is only lines and sometimes I have to shutdown the TV and turn in on again to be able to see something, I called the customer service of westinhghouse and I explain them that the TV is only 18 months old, I mean the warranty expired 6 months ago and the TV is useless, I cannot sell i, I cannont fix it (because is almost $900) and I cannot use it because I don't see anything,and they told me that they cannot do anything since the warranty is expired.

It is very bad that only after 6 months of the warranty expiration the TV is useless, I want to share my experience so no one else suffer the same as I did, plase avoid buying westinghouse TV's, I don't know about other electronic appliances but the TV's are really really bad and also the warranty,hopefully this complain will help someone, again avoid westinghouse electronics, they are not worth it.
