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 - 5 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 has a constant low hum and then worse when the compressor is running.

    submitted byMicroApartmentLiving - 5 years ago
  • A: How cold does this get? Temperature wise in numbers (F)?

    submitted bySophie - 9 months ago
  • A: My colleague and I have this fridge in our office. It's very quiet.

    submitted byla profesora - 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: 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.

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 - 10 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.

    submitted byHerbert - 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.

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.

submitted by Nick - 9 months ago
  • A: We recommend a setting between 4-5 on this unit.

    submitted byGalanz Care Team - 9 months ago
  • A: We recommend setting the unit at 4 or 5, depending on your needs.

    submitted byGalanz Care Team - 8 months ago

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

    submitted byL Wallis - 2 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.

    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

    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.
