Description
The Whirlpool 4.0 cu. ft. refrigerator is perfect for additional kitchen space, a dorm room or for lower level family room entertaining. Additional features include a five can dispenser and 2 liter bottle door storage. When placing under counters, the suggested distance between the product and the cabinets are: 2" per side, 0.5" on top and 2" on the back.
DEFROSTING:
Frost built-up on the walls of the freezer section will decrease energy consumption and reduce the efficiency of the appliance. Defrost the freezer section whenever the frost reaches a thickness of 1/4” (0.64 cm).
1. Remove food and ice cube tray from the refrigerator and freezer compartment.
2. If the model has a drip tray, be sure to place it under the freezer compartment to collect water. It may be necessary to empty the drip tray during the defrosting process.
3. Turn the refrigerator off and unplug it from the outlet.
4. The defrosting process can take several hours. Open the door to speed up the process.
5. When defrosting is completed, wipe the compartment with a soft cloth to remove any remaining water.
6. Reset the refrigerator temperature.
IMPORTANT: Do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove frost or ice from the surface of the freezer compartment. This can cause damage to the compartment walls and cooling coils, and will void the warranty.

It worked in the dorm room, but then after we moved it very carefully (upright, not on it's side) it just stopped working...well, it sporadically worked, then just completely died. Unfortunately it's just over the one year warranty so we are pretty disappointed. I would not recommend.

Delivered damaged and poor return service

H - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
Can’t say if the refrigerator is good or not. The item was dented and all glass shelves inside shattered. It was very obviously damaged with box disintegrating and glass spilling out, but delivered and left on doorstep anyway. And then Target said they couldn’t get someone to pick it up, so we had to deal with all the glass falling out and get the item all taped up ourselves to be able to return it. Maybe if you pick this up in store, but don’t get it delivered.

I bought this fridge after a great deal of research😅what an idiot I was totally wrong. it roughens my fruit and vegetables. This freezes it all then I turn down and that's not enough to keep everything good either and I'm careful not to over pack. wish I would have bought full size fridge. I called target few days later. someone was supposed to call me back but they did not. I bought mine in store and lost my receipt. I am going to try selling it.
Great Little Fridge!

Target customer service was excellent in assistance when placing this order! I am very happy with my purchase, and this Whirlpool mini-fridge came delivered within a week in “perfect condition” from California to the Chicago/Northwest Indiana area without a scratch or dent on it anywhere! It works efficiently and keeps food cold, as it cycles quietly on and off as necessary. I only wish the door had less can holders and more compartments for another 1/2 gallon jug, quart and pint size bottles and containers of condiments, dairy products and juice. Other than that one point, Whirlpool and Target certainly do not disappoint when it comes to this dependable mini-fridge!

my average size fridge was going on the blank and I live alone now so I didn't see the point in having a full size refrigerator so I thought this would be a good option because I need a freezer for ice on hot days. it cools great and I like its general appearance however it came with parts that weren't explained in the little guide that was provided with it and when I searched the whole unit I could not find where this tray went to it's a tray with two clips and a screw I don't know what they do I couldn't find it anywhere I'm suspecting that the floor underneath it is going to catch moisture sooner or later or puddle I should say because they don't say what to do with this part. when I go to whirlpool and try to find out what to do with it they don't even recognize them model so there's no manual for it though they did allow me to register it for warranty. the other thing is it is increasingly getting louder and louder every day even though I've only had it plugged in for two days now it sounds like a dog barking in the distance. not sure if there's something wrong with it or not but you know I don't plan on having it close to my bed for a long time and planning for when my full size fridge finally stops working to move it into the kitchen. other than that I like it it keeps stuff cold which I mean my refrigerator doesn't keep stuff cold at all it barely keeps ice. so I'm just waiting to run out of ice cuz I bought some in my main freezer so just unplug the unit load everything out of it move it and make it a dry storage for like rice and flour and stuff where I don't want meal bugs and stuff to get into hopefully. of course I've got to air it out before I do that anyways I mean I'm happy with this unit so far I just don't like the noise it makes.
I love it
