Q: Is this frig quiet? If not please describe the noise it makes
submitted by Sissy - 8 years ago
A: it has a low humming noise, but its not too loud that it will disturb people.
submitted byy0kai - 7 months agoA: Mine is very quiet. It obviously has the running sound of any refrigerator, but it is very subtle.
submitted byCarmen - 8 years agoA: No. It has a constant low hum and then worse when the compressor is running.
submitted byMicroApartmentLiving - 6 years agoA: My colleague and I have this fridge in our office. It's very quiet.
submitted byla profesora - 8 years agoA: 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 agoA: Yes, it's extremely quiet, even when the compressor is running.
submitted byPete1258 - 5 years agoA: 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 - 2 years agoA: How cold does this get? Temperature wise in numbers (F)?

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 - 6 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 - 1 year agoA: Please contact 1-855-666-4477 for assistance with your refrigerator.
submitted byCustomer Care Team - 6 years agoBrand expertA: 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 - 6 years agoA: 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 - 9 years ago
A: yes. It was packed well.
submitted bydanny - 9 years agoA: 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 agoA: It is not suggested to lay it on it's side.
submitted bylisa2 - 9 years agoA: 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
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 - 1 year ago
A: We recommend a setting between 4-5 on this unit.
submitted byGalanz Care Team - 11 months agoA: We recommend setting the unit at 4 or 5, depending on your needs.
submitted byGalanz Care Team - 11 months agoA: We recommend between 4-5. It depends on your preference.

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 - 6 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 - 3 years agoA: I just purchased the Whirlpool Black WH31BKE, and the glass shelves are removable. They are not adjustable.
submitted byL Wallis - 2 years agoA: 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.

The item was received but the packaging was damaged. I opened it and found that there was a missing baffle on the bottom of the back. It was inconvenient to return the item. It was a big item and an unpleasant shopping experience.

This unit does not cool properly. The fridge shelves has things freeze halfway back while the front half are fine, but the door area is warm. Even with items freezing rock hard in the fridge, the freezer portion is too warm and foods aren't freezing. Unit is set up inside.

Purchased refrigerador in Dec 2024. 4 months later it stop working. I called Target. Target refuse to exchange because it was passed the 90 day policy. I went to the store and I asked if Target could exchange? Target said nothing they could do. I puchased the extended warranty also but they will only help after 12 months. I dont recomend Target if they don’t help the customer.

I had bought this fridge back in summer of 21' to keep in my work office. Had no problems with it, except the freezer did build up a thick frost. I came back to my office after a long weekend and the fridge was making a loud humming noise, The inside was warm, all my items spoiled, and the ice all melted. I even had a HVAC tech come and replace a part and it did not help. He said how these small fridges usually last just a few years.

I’ve been using this mini fridge for 6 months and it works perfectly and is so cute! I love how the freezer is separate and it is actually big enough that it can hold more than I expected. I think it was worth every penny. Love it!
