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

submitted by Sissy - 9 years ago
  • A: Humming sound but that’s typical of most fridges

    submitted byKcastillo1234 - 5 months ago
  • A: Yes, it's extremely quiet, even when the compressor is running.

    submitted byPete1258 - 7 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 - 4 years ago
  • A: No. It has a constant low hum and then worse when the compressor is running.

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

    submitted byla profesora - 9 years ago
  • A: Two screws and two hooks,I’m not sure where to install them.

    submitted byMandy - 3 months 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

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: 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 - 6 months 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: It says right in the manual that you should NOT use an extension cord or adapter (page 2)

    submitted byrsrchr - 6 months ago
  • A: You can get appliance grade extension cords.

    submitted bySusan - 11 months ago
  • A: 59" is correct length for the cord.

    submitted byjn - 9 years ago

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

    submitted byCustomer Care Team - 7 years ago
    Brand expert
  • 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

submitted by Linda - 10 years ago

    submitted bylisa2 - 10 years ago

    submitted byPete1258 - 7 years ago

submitted by Moose Island - 2 years ago
  • A: Someone upthread (possibly a brand expert? Not sure) posted that yes you can transport it on its side but that you need to leave it upright for a minimum of four hours before plugging in.

    submitted byrsrchr - 6 months ago
  • A: Yes, it can be transported on its side.

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 just purchased the Whirlpool Black WH31BKE, and the glass shelves are removable. They are not adjustable.

    submitted byL Wallis - 3 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 - 4 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.

    Great size for a college apartment bedroom!

    Purchased this Whirlpool mini fridge for my son's college apartment bedroom, and it's a great size for the space! I really like the stainless steel finish, which gives it a clean, modern look. The 3.1 cu. ft. capacity and interior shelves make it a practical option for keeping drinks, snacks, and other essentials close by without taking up too much room. A nice setup for a college student!

    I’m not sure if this is a manufacturing/packing, Target or delivery company (not a normal delivery company) issue. Either way… I’m frustrated and disappointed in all three. When the refrigerator was delivered, the driver photographed the box so it looked like the box was intact. It was far from intact. (The delivery was subpar and they knew it when they took the picture.) They cut the top portion of the box out of the picture. There wasn’t a top of the box. It had a piece of broken packing material and no cardboard to secure the packing material to the refrigerator. The box was delivered upside down so you could see the bottom where the metal was bent making it uneven. I didn’t take it out of the box. I called customer service. They were not able to pick it up to ship it back for a refund. He told me I had to drive it to a store for a refund. The closest Target is 45 minutes away. When I loaded the box in my car, I noticed the tape wasn’t holding the other end of the box closed either. I’m taking it back to get a refund. Target lost my business.

    Horrible customer service

    This was a disappointing and frustrating purchase. The refrigerator arrived in a box that was falling apart and damaged. Once we unboxed it we saw a dent on the front and immediately called customer service to return it. The first representative tried to set up the return through USPS which has a weight limit. I asked for a supervisor who tried to issue a credit prior to the return but could not. She set up the return through UPS. The package was received by Target on 9-14-26. My account continued to say item not received. Four frustrating phone calls later iI finally spoke with someone today- 16 days after Target received the return - who knew what he was doing and sent an email to the shipping department. Thanks to that gentleman I have a pending credit on my credit card. Shame on you Target for not training your customer service team properly. I will NEVER order from you again.

    I bought this frig on sale for my daughter to go to her school. FIrst, the delivery was never made, then after calling Target twice through their AI chat, then live chat, it finally arrived 3 weeks after my order. The surprise came that there is a dent. I chatted again with AI and it told me that I can return it but my daughter would have to bring it to a drop off center and there is only refund. They will not send me another at the same price. I finally was able to talk to a live chat, he offered a 15 dollar refund. I have to accept this. This is not about the frig but Target the company.

    Piece of crap. One month in and the fridge doesn't seal. The fridge freezes everything and the freezer doesn't freeze anything. And you cant get help unless youre willing to mail off a whole mini fridge and hope you get something working. Don't waste your money. If I could give zero stars I would.

    Runs quiet and is so handy

    I love the size! It’s perfect and fits in my guest room closet . I love that the freezer is separate!! Plus I was able to get it out of the packing myself. It just lifts off. Such a nice tiny fridge .
