10 Westinghouse TV Problems & Solutions

We will first describe the problem and then guide you through the relevant solution which we have done to fix the problem

Westinghouse TV black screen no picture

This is one of the basic reasons why Westinghouse TV shows black pictures only and does not turn on. There may be many reasons for this issue.

Solution:

  • First, check that your TV is getting enough power and there hasn’t been a voltage lag.
  • Must check your power socket and ensure that it’s not damaged.

Change Power Outlet:

Sometimes, there has been low voltage transferred by the main power source due to a damaged power outlet.

Reset TV:

Now, soft reset your TV by unplugging it from the power outlet and waiting for 30 seconds before plugging it back in. This will reset your TV and often fix the issue.

Change Batteries:

Sometimes, you only need a fresh set of batteries to power the TV back on.

Check HDMI Cables:

Make sure your HDMI cable is securely plugged into the back of the connector. If you use a fire stick or Roku, check that as well. Ensure that the cable is short enough.

Westinghouse TV Won’t Turn On

There are a few reasons which cause this issue. Some are as follows:

  • Incorrect Power
  • Faulty HDMI cable
  • Incorrect input source

Solution:

Unplug Your TV:

  • First, unplug your TV from the wall and wait for 60 seconds before plugging it back in.
  • If this doesn’t fix the problem, then try unplugging it from the wall again and hold down the power button for 15 seconds. This will drain all the remaining power from the TV.
  • Then wait another 10 seconds before plugging it back in. Then plug it back in and turn the power on the TV switch itself, not the remote control.

If this doesn’t work, then another trick would be to try plugging the TV into a different wall outlet just to make sure that there isn’t anything wrong with the power going to the current outlet that your TV is plugged into.

To do a factory reset:

Westinghouse TV Won’t Connect To Wi-Fi

The first and easiest thing to try is to unplug your TV from the wall for about 60 seconds. After that, plug it back in. This will reset your TV and solve your problem in most cases. It’s important to note that this should be done from the wall plug, not just by switching the remote on and off.

Reset WiFi Router:

If the first method doesn’t work, try unplugging your router for 60 seconds and then plugging it back in. Make sure your router goes back online before checking your TV. It usually takes about two minutes for the router to go through a series of self-tests and come back online.

Factory Reset Everything:

If all else fails, you can try a factory reset, which will reset everything back to factory default settings.

Westinghouse TV Apps Not Working

There are multiple reasons which create issues in installing apps on your Westinghouse TV.

  • Outdated Software
  • The app is having glitches
  • The app account is disabled.

Solution:

  • Make sure that you have an active internet connection and that there is no fluctuation in signals.
  • Cancel the installation and re-install the app to ensure that are no caches stuck.
  • Enter the correct ZIP code of your TV
  • Update your app account.

Westinghouse TV Remote Control Not Working

For the first trick, you have to remove the plate that covers the batteries on the remote control and remove both batteries from the remote. Then, you’ll have to locate the power button on the remote control, it could be on the top left or top right side, and keep it pressed for 20 seconds.

The next step is to press every single button on the remote control very hard. This will help if a button is stuck or if there is debris under it. Since if a single button doesn’t make contact, it can affect the whole remote control. Then, when you’re done, put back both batteries and try using the remote.

Now, if this trick didn’t work, I have a second one that is very effective. Turn your TV off and unplug it from the wall socket. Now, depending on the model you have, you may have a power button on the back or one on the front under the TV. If you don’t find one, don’t worry, just skip this step. But if you found one, keep it pressed for 30 seconds.

Then you have to wait a full minute. If your TV didn’t have a button, just wait one minute, and then you can safely replug your TV into the wall socket.

And finally, if any of these tricks didn’t work, I really suggest you replace the batteries with fresh ones or get a replacement remote control. They are usually cheaper than you think. I’ve put some links down in the description below so you can check them out.

And if you have a Roku TV, there is an app that will let you control your TV so you can download it while you wait to receive your replacement remote control. If you don’t have a Roku TV, there are other apps that will let you control your TV using your smartphone. Just search on the app store or the Google Play store “TV remote” and you will get many of them.

Westinghouse TV channel scan problems

Firstly, you need to ensure that your TV is connected to an antenna. You can purchase a small, inexpensive TV antenna that you can easily mount inside your house. If you don’t have one, we recommend you buy one.

Once your antenna is connected, you can start the channel scan process. Press the home button on your remote, select the antenna icon, and click on “Start finding channels”.

Please note that the scanning process may take up to 10 minutes, so be patient and don’t assume that your TV is locked up. After some time, the scanning process will complete, and you will have access to a vast range of free, high-quality channels.

You’ll be amazed at the number of channels you’ll get after the scan. In fact, in our location, we found over 50 channels! You can flip through the channels to explore the excellent picture quality and enjoy a variety of shows and programs.
