submitted by whirlpool - 9 months ago

Q: Are the wires that hold the 8 soft drink cans detachable? We don't drink soft drinks yet don't want to waste that space. Thanks

submitted by Betty - 8 years ago
  • A: It should fit 16 oz bottles of water with little to no issues, however I wouldn't recommend the Hint bottles... they are too hard. They should be the flexi-bottles.

    submitted byRocco - 6 years ago
  • A: The wires are removable but I don;t see how you can use the shelf for anything else. The bottom "lip" is rounded out unlike the "lip" to the right. No soda - drink water, holds water bottle fine.

    submitted byDethshead - 8 years ago
  • A: Due to potential safety issues, we do not recommend removing the wires that hold the 8 soft drink cans.

    I bought this because Whirlpool has traditionally meant quality. The fridge part stopped working at just under a year. (The freezer still works.) The food placed in the refrigerator part is spoiling quickly, resulting in my having to re-buy food frequently. This has to go to metal recyclers, and I have to buy a new one. You can rest assured that it won't be a Whirlpool.

    Donna - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    Mini fridge arrived by FedEx laying on its side (box clearly marked). It was "out for delivery" the previous day so I know it was like this for over 24 hours. Box is too tall to fit under the truck's lower shelf. I'll let it set for a couple days before plugging in. Who knows what damage has been done by FedEx.

    Ok fridge

    Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
    Mike - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
    It's ok for a cheap fridge. You have to keep the thermostat almost maxed out to keep everything cold. The items stored in the door never really get cold so can't really keep perishables there. The annoying part it has to be defrosted every 2 weeks like clockwork or the door won't seal properly. What happens the ice starts forming on the front of the freezer first which pushes the freezer door outward which then pushes on the main door. The mini fridges I owned in the past never had this problem

    Bought this Whirlpool Mini Fridge WH43S1E less than 2 years ago. It no longer works. Replaced the start relay & overload protector, & still doesn't work. Has to be a bad compressor. Really disappointing for an appliance less than 2 years old. Won't buy another Whirlpool product ever.
