I own a Westinghouse WB-78-6. The temp inside the machine goes anywhere from 28 to 46. Can this be adjusted? Also I would like some kind of repair manual. Can any one help me? This is my first machine, and I don't know much about it.

Sounds like the thermostat may not be working properly. Changing the thermostat on a Westinghouse is pretty easy and straight forward. You can pick one up for around $25 or so. I sell them as well as Fun-Tronics. Check in the parts section.

Thanks for the help! Yes I would like to buy one, and where would it be located in my machine. I'm new at this.

Have a look in side the cooling compartment. There is a tray or shute, where the bottles slide out the front. Look to the right side of that tray, underneath. You should see a thermostat with dial and two wires plugged in the rear of it.
It's held in there with two small screws. Remove the screws
and the stat will come out. If you want one from me, my number is 1 877 856 4996, $25 plus $5 S&H. If you want to use Fun-Tronics, call 1 301 371 5246, his name is Steve. I'm not sure what the price is, but I'm sure it's about the same.
