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

submitted by Sissy - 8 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 - 2 years ago
  • A: Yes, it's extremely quiet, even when the compressor is running.

    submitted byPete1258 - 5 years ago
  • A: My colleague and I have this fridge in our office. It's very quiet.

    submitted byla profesora - 8 years ago
  • A: it has a low humming noise, but its not too loud that it will disturb people.

    submitted byy0kai - 3 months ago
  • A: Mine is very quiet. It obviously has the running sound of any refrigerator, but it is very subtle.

    submitted byCarmen - 8 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 - 2 years ago
  • A: No. It has a constant low hum and then worse when the compressor is running.

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: 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 - 5 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 - 8 months ago
  • A: Please contact 1-855-666-4477 for assistance with your refrigerator.

    submitted byCustomer Care Team - 6 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.

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

submitted by Linda - 8 years ago
  • A: yes. It was packed well.

    submitted bydanny - 8 years ago
  • A: It is not suggested to lay it on it's side.

    submitted bylisa2 - 8 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 - 8 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 - 5 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.

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

    submitted byL Wallis - 1 year ago

    I have this fridge in my dorm room. It’s very nice and works super well. Even the lowest cold setting is enough for my food. The only thing is that it makes a quiet gurgling noise every so often, but I think that’s just the coolant or something like that. Overall it’s super nice and the freezer is very roomy

    I took a chance after seeing the reviews because the price was good. The unit was damaged on the back. Target wants to to take it to a UPS store to return. So I have to pack it up and try to get it to them. It’s cute but I will see how cool it gets.

    Bought for my office at work. Works well and is nice size for my needs. I mostly use for frozen dinners, left-overs, and drinks, so I don't keep a lot of food in it, but the size works well for me. I actually told co-workers they could use it too because I don't use all the space. Before Christmas break I defrosted the and unplugged. I've been using it since August, and there was very little ice build up in the freezer.

Also when you pick it up inslect the box because the first one they tried to give me and a bug hoke in it you could actually see the fridge lol I made them bring me out another one. Also who knows what shipping people do with it! Great for the price I'm super happy.

    Yellowturtle35 - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
    During Phase II of World Domination I decided to rent a room. This mini fridge/freezer with separate doors has been awesome! No more having to share space or not getting ANY space in the house fridge!! I read a lot of reviews from several different stores/ brands. They mentioned failed thermostats/ their fridge being too loud. It seemed like they all had the same amount of bad vs good reviews regardless of brand. At some point I needed to pull the trigger. So I bought the one that was most accessible to me and I knew I could return it. It holds quite a bit of food. Currently I have 2 silicone ice trays, 3 small bags of frozen veggies, a few small ice packs and a container of coco whip (like cool whip but it's made from coconut milk. I use it for my coffee. Soooo good!) in the freezer. The shelves in the fridge are glass and strong. The crisper can house several sodas, or bag of medium size oranges and 3 large apples (like now). It's also very easy to clean. I've had this little for about 4 months. I haven't had any issues with the thermostat. It's also very quite. Most of the time I forget that it's on. Finally, the water at my place leaves a lot to be desired. I put a bed tray on the top of the fridge and it acts like a small counter that I can put my 3 gallon jugs on.
