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

submitted by Sissy - 9 years ago
  • A: No. It has a constant low hum and then worse when the compressor is running.

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

    submitted byla profesora - 9 years 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 - 3 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 - 3 years ago
  • A: it has a low humming noise, but its not too loud that it will disturb people.

    submitted byy0kai - 2 years ago
  • A: Humming sound but that’s typical of most fridges

    submitted byKcastillo1234 - 2 months ago
  • A: How cold does this get? Temperature wise in numbers (F)?

    submitted bySophie - 2 years ago
  • A: Mine is very quiet. It obviously has the running sound of any refrigerator, but it is very subtle.

    submitted byCarmen - 9 years ago
  • A: Yes, it's extremely quiet, even when the compressor is running.

    submitted byPete1258 - 6 years ago

Q: How long is the cord from the back of fridge to the 3-prong plug you plug into outlet? We have very limited electrical outlets so this info is crucial.

submitted by SunnyStar - 9 years ago
  • A: 59" is correct length for the cord.

    submitted byjn - 9 years ago
  • A: Entirely too short...

    submitted bysara_no_h - 1 year ago
  • A: You can get appliance grade extension cords.

    submitted bySusan - 8 months ago
  • A: The cord is 59".

    submitted byCustomer Care Team - 9 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: It says right in the manual that you should NOT use an extension cord or adapter (page 2)

    submitted byrsrchr - 3 months ago

Q: Does this Refridgerator have adjustable feet on bottom?

submitted by Joe Sr - 6 years ago
  • A: No, the feet are not adjustable.

    submitted byCustomer Care Team - 6 years ago
    Brand expert
  • A: There are rollers on the front that can be used to adjust the level

    submitted byLA - 5 years ago
  • A: Manual p.3 says must adjust leveling legs on front corners (clockwise to raise/counterclockwise to lower) and to ensure the appliance is sloped slightly backward to ensure that the door closes tightly

    submitted byrsrchr - 3 months 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 - 7 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 - 7 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 - 2 years ago
  • A: Please contact 1-855-666-4477 for assistance with your refrigerator.

    submitted byCustomer Care Team - 7 years ago
    Brand expert
  • 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.

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

submitted by Linda - 10 years ago
  • A: It is not suggested to lay it on it's side.

    submitted bylisa2 - 10 years ago
  • A: yes. It was packed well.

    submitted bydanny - 10 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 - 9 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 - 6 years ago

Q: Can you transport it on its side?

submitted by Moose Island - 2 years ago
  • A: Yes, it can be transported on its side, however, please place upright for a while before use.

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 - 7 years 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.

    submitted byCheryl - 7 years ago
  • A: I just purchased the Whirlpool Black WH31BKE, and the glass shelves are removable. They are not adjustable.

    submitted byL Wallis - 3 years ago

    Awesome find

    The most helpful aspect was that this item fit in my car. My goal was to aquire a good quality mini fridge that didn’t require a truck or moving van. Also, I would like to give a wonderful thanks to the 2 guys that helped me load it in my car. I tend not to ask for help but I know my limits and they were both helpful and patient.

    Broken shelf

    The refrigerator works perfectly but when I got home today and unboxed it I opened the fridge door and one of the shelves was shattered and the pieces went everywhere on my floor. I don’t want to drag the whole thing back would it be possible just to replace the shelf please?

    It was nice while it lasted. Whirlpool is not what it used to be!

    I purchased this mini fridge on 7/14/25 and 1 year later the freezer was no longer freezing. I checked the temperature and it was 31 degrees! I unplugged it for 15 minutes and plugged it back in and that seemed to work, but then it started acting up again. Now the refrigerator is not as cold either. The warranty has expired and I didn't get the extended warranty so basically I'm screwed. Buyer beware.

    The refrigerator had an internal short circuit. As soon as I plugged it in it caused a spark a tripped the breaker. Seems very poor quality control to send a faulty unit.

    Customer service is lacking with Target online

    The product itself is excellent! I had purchased one just like it for my oldest for her dorm. My rating is directly related to the horrible experience I have had with the delivery of this item. It arrived with the box soaking wet on a day where it was not even raining, and the deliver driver did not ring or knock for us to refuse the delivery. I immediately contacted Target online and arranged for it to be picked up and returned (June 11). Today- June 24th I still don’t have a refund. I had to repurchase the item and drive hours away to pick it up. I called customer service again and even spoke to a manager that did nothing to resolve the lack or a refund or compensate me for my inconvenience. I was simply told to wait. This is unacceptable and is a real downgrade on the customer service experience I am accustomed to from Target.
