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 - 4 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 - 3 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 - 2 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 - 5 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 - 5 months ago
  • A: You can get appliance grade extension cords.

    submitted bySusan - 10 months ago
  • A: 59" is correct length for the cord.

    submitted byjn - 9 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 - 6 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
  • 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

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

submitted by Linda - 10 years ago

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

    submitted bydanny - 10 years ago

    submitted byPete1258 - 7 years ago

Q: Can you transport it on its side?

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 - 5 months 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 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.

    Nice Fridge

    I purchased this for our second floor so that mom has quick access to certain items that require refrigeration. It's a nice fridge overall, and has met our expectations thus far. I only rated 3 stars because it arrived with damage. There's also a small tray that did not have any instructions. I to go digging to learn what it was for. Either way, we have been able to use it as is.

    Screws impossible to remove

    The fridge itself seems nice and good quality. My issue is that I have not been successful in switching the door to the opposite side. The two placeholder screws that need to be removed to siwtch the middle hinge will not budge. I've spent more than $40 on specialty tools and no success. (I am not a novice - I know how to use screw extractors and locking pliers. I have tried EVERYTHING.) I am extremely disappointed and frustrated. I even reached out to whirlpool CS and they were not helpful at all. If anyone reads these reviews, I would appreciate ANY help so I can actually use the fridge I purchased.

    Target scam

    Order this at salem nh target. They ended up not having it in stock. Was told to pick up in a different location. So I selected the next closest store and was charged taxes above my original price paid already. As target started to pick up at the different locations they should have honored the price already paid. Very disappointed.
