Q: Is this frig quiet? If not please describe the noise it makes
submitted by Sissy - 6 years ago
A:Â My colleague and I have this fridge in our office. It's very quiet.
submitted byla profesora - 6 years ago
A:Â Mine is very quiet. It obviously has the running sound of any refrigerator, but it is very subtle.
submitted byCarmen - 6 years ago
A:Â Yes, it's extremely quiet, even when the compressor is running.
submitted byPete1258 - 3 years ago
A:Â No. It has a constant low hum and then worse when the compressor is running.
submitted byMicroApartmentLiving - 3 years ago
A:Â 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 months ago
Q: Can I lay the frig on its side when putting in my car to move it?
submitted by Linda - 7 years ago
A:Â 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 - 6 years ago
A:Â Yes you can. The owner's manual says you should stand it upright for at least 4 hours before plugging it in.
submitted byPete1258 - 3 years ago
A:Â It is not suggested to lay it on it's side.
submitted bylisa2 - 7 years ago
A:Â yes. It was packed well.
submitted bydanny - 7 years ago
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 - 4 years ago
A:Â 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 - 3 years ago
A:Â 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 - 4 years ago
A:Â Please contact 1-855-666-4477 for assistance with your refrigerator.

Q: This refrigerator came up when I searched for propane refrigerators. Does this run on propane?
submitted by Fisher - 6 years ago
A:Â It is powered by electricity
submitted byTargetfan - 6 years ago
A:Â No - you will need to plug it into an electrical outlet.
submitted byPennyS - 6 years ago
A:Â Mine just plugs into the wall and is good to go. So I'm guessing that means no to running on propane?
submitted byCarmen - 6 years ago
Q: How loud is this? Going to be in a bedroom so don't want it too loud.
submitted by Kim C - 6 years ago
A:Â This unit is almost silent. Just a very minor hum when the compressor is running.
submitted byPete1258 - 3 years ago
A:Â Had it in my dorm room all year. We never noticed it running. Worked great- really nice that ti has the separate freezer compartment!
submitted byMichigangirl - 6 years ago
A:Â It is not loud at all. Very quiet
submitted byPP - 6 years ago
Q: Is the freezer frost free?
submitted by National - 7 years ago
A:Â NO, I find it freezes a lot in the refrigerator section and I constantly have to pry the ice out. However, the freezer compartment takes a while to freeze
submitted byPP - 6 years ago
A:Â not frost free. manual defrost instructions in the product manual
submitted byFanda - 5 years ago
A:Â Nooo, frost builds up easily on the bottom of the freezer and occasionally on the back wall of the fridge part.
submitted byCarmen - 6 years ago
Q: can I switch door side
submitted by cam - 10 months ago
A:Â The instructions appear lacking, and mine didn't come with appropriate part. Would like to hear from someone that has successfully done this as to what was involved.
submitted byUnreversed - 5 months ago

Q: what is temp in fridge and freezer?
submitted by SBU420 - 11 months ago
A:Â I respectfully disagree after testing it with three different thermometers. Temp setting of 3 will turn your ice cream into soup and fridge temp hovering around 45+.
submitted byAM - 10 months ago
A: The coldest setting would be level 7, we recommend setting your unit at level 3. There is only one temperature dial on this unit. If you have any further questions please email us at customerservice@galanzamericas.com. 1. The coldest temperature on the freezer is minus 23℃ 2. The coldest temperature on the refrigerator is 1℃ 3. No separate gauges.
Great refrig./freezer for the garage. This is our 2nd one

Damaged

Lena - 3 days ago, Verified purchaser
I chose this fridge because it was decently priced and I wanted two doors. From looking at the mixed reviews I thought it would be best to pick up in store to avoid shipping damages to my house. This did not help the situation the the fridge was so badly damaged that one of the doors could not open.

Lasted 7 Years

Lu - 1 month ago
I bought this mini fridge when I was in college and it lasted me all those years and many more. I took it with me when I moved city and it did well in the 4hr car ride. After moving houses recently and plugging it in my new home the light worked but it wasn't keeping anything cold. I took it to get it fixed but the piece it needed was about $200 so I decided to just buy a new one. It definitely lasted me many years and I recommend it. I love how it looks and how spacious the freezer is compared to all other mini fridges (I even used it to store breastmilk bags). Im not sure if it got damaged when i moved houses or if the fridge itself gave up but I mean 7 years was definitely a lot.

Died right after the warranty expired

Would not recommend
7232663 - 1 month ago
I had high hopes for this little fridge. I bought it and it was quite noisy compared to the smaller fridge that I had. After the warranty ended the refrigerator died and after talking to experts it sounds like it was the condenser and it seems to be a common problem with this model. I do not recommend this fridge.

It's pretty quiet and I haven't had any problems with refrigeration. The only issues are 1. it's a little tilty and 2. the coils on the back are exposed. Is there a piece I'm missing to cover that?

lnd - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Water condensation happened immediately on roof of frig area. Condensation also happened on the back wall of the frig and then froze. Wiped roof down, hoping it ws a one time thing. Turned the cold level down, still happened. Still happening. Manual said this was normal for high humidity. Iʻve lived here all my life and have NEVER seen this inside a refrig. Do not buy.

Maria - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
I'm surprised at the negative reviews, but I have only had mine for about a month. I would say it is fairly quiet but is noticeable when the compressor runs about every hour or so for a few minutes. My frozen food stays rock solid and the fridge bottom stays pretty cold as well.

Paid online and picked up in store 3-22-2023. Within a few days the glass shelf shattered, making a huge mess in a dorm room. We're having trouble trying to replace the shelf only. Our daughter already hauled it up 3 flights of stairs, and now will have to haul it down, and a new one back up.
