Q: Is this frig quiet? If not please describe the noise it makes

submitted by Sissy - 7 years ago
  • A: My colleague and I have this fridge in our office. It's very quiet.

    submitted byla profesora - 7 years ago
  • A: Mine is very quiet. It obviously has the running sound of any refrigerator, but it is very subtle.

    submitted byCarmen - 7 years ago
  • A: No, it is not quiet. It has a constant low hum and a louder hum when the compressor is running. I worry that it will disturb my guests when they are sleeping. I would not purchase it again.

    submitted byDM - 1 year ago
  • A: No. It has a constant low hum and then worse when the compressor is running.

    submitted byMicroApartmentLiving - 5 years ago
  • A: How cold does this get? Temperature wise in numbers (F)?

    submitted bySophie - 3 months ago
  • A: It is a very subtle humming most of the time, but when the compressor is running you can definitely hear that thing working a bit. Still think it is not that loud.

    submitted byMaria - 2 years ago
  • A: Yes, it's extremely quiet, even when the compressor is running.

Q: There is a white plastic drip tray that came with it. No instructions at all how to install it. I called company she said it slips in on back of refrigerator. I see nowhere at bottom opening where it just slips in! Onto what I.don’t know!

submitted by Blue - 5 years ago
  • A: It sits on top of the compressor to collect water form the drain tube. You can see the drain tube projecting out of the fridge.

    submitted byErin - 3 months ago
  • A: Basically, you *slide* the white plastic tray onto the top of the compressor. Notice that there is a projecting white piece on the bottom of the tray and a similar projecting black piece on the top of the compressor. They should click into place, as you slide the white tray onto the top of the compressor. If problems, call the Whirlpool number: 1-855-666-4477.

    submitted byMary Anne - 5 years ago
  • A: Me too! I just called 1-855-666-4477 and was told that plastic tray slips on top of the compressor and clicks in place. Guess it's to prevent and collect any water drips. Make sure the black foam faces the compressor.

    submitted byHerbert - 5 years ago
  • A: Please contact 1-855-666-4477 for assistance with your refrigerator.

Q: Can I lay the frig on its side when putting in my car to move it?

submitted by Linda - 8 years ago
  • A: yes. It was packed well.

    submitted bydanny - 8 years ago
  • A: It is not suggested to lay it on it's side.

    submitted bylisa2 - 8 years ago
  • A: Yes, but do not plug the fridge in when you get home. Place it upright and leave it overnight before plugging in so the coolant/fluids inside have time to settle.

    submitted byHB - 8 years ago
  • A: Yes you can. The owner's manual says you should stand it upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in.

    submitted byPete1258 - 5 years ago

Q: What number on the dial is the most ideal for the temperature? I just plugged it in and have it on 5. The freezer already seems to be getting pretty cold.

submitted by Nick - 3 months ago
  • A: We recommend setting the unit at 4 or 5, depending on your needs.

    submitted byGalanz Care Team - 2 months ago
  • A: We recommend a setting between 4-5 on this unit.

    submitted byGalanz Care Team - 2 months ago

Q: What is the difference between this fridge and whirlpool Black WH31BKE? Is this fridge 2 doors or only 1 door? If it’s the same fridg, why is black more expensive than stainless steel?

submitted by Wendy - 5 years ago
  • A: In the q/a's of the Whirlpool Black WH31BKE it says shelves are adjustable, but stationary. They do not slide in/out.

    submitted byFernanda - 2 years ago
  • A: I just purchased the Whirlpool Black WH31BKE, and the glass shelves are removable. They are not adjustable.

    submitted byL Wallis - 1 year ago
  • A: I was wondering the same thing. After reading, I believe the main difference is that the black one has 2 slide-out glass shelves. The stainless steel one does not.

Q: This refrigerator came up when I searched for propane refrigerators. Does this run on propane?

submitted by Fisher - 7 years ago
  • A: No - you will need to plug it into an electrical outlet.

    submitted byPennyS - 7 years ago
  • A: It is powered by electricity

    submitted byTargetfan - 7 years ago
  • A: Mine just plugs into the wall and is good to go. So I'm guessing that means no to running on propane?

    J Rey - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Dropped daughter to college and opened up fridge Brand New...and the fridge has dents all over. The local Target at her university does not have any in stock. Already bought groceries to put in and they tell me that before I can receive a replacement, I have to ship it back first. Well what about the groceries I just bought... who is going to pay me back for those that spoil without a fridge? And why can't there be an exchange..I can't receive the new fridge without the exchange. That's fair. I'm leaving my daughter to go home and now she is left with a dented up fridge and they are not even willing to even provide some discount or something for a damaged product! It's so sad that I pay full price and they not helping to provide some customer service to reconcile the issue. So dissatisfied with their attempt to resolve this. Then when I asked to transfer to someone after holding for 30 minutes someone came on the phone and said their name and said they can't hear me. And I have all bars with 5G connection. I was talking to the other person just fine!! Then she hung up on me! TARGET SUCKS!! Poor service

    Most college students get a tiny little freezer if that on their dorm fridge, but not mine! My student got a nice size freezer, perfect for some mom cooked meals, and pints of ice cream (possibly refilled in the dining hall for after hours consumption). Fits lots of other items too. No complaints on noise, cleans easily, and not too heavy to move in and out of dorm. Highly recommend!!
