Defrosting is necessary to maintain its efficiency and each type has its own advantages depending on user needs and preferences. Manual defrost appliances require unplugging to melt ice naturally, but offer more space, lower energy consumption, and lower cost without the internal heating element. Frost-free appliances regulate temperature to prevent ice build-up automatically. Automatic defrost systems use a timer to circulate heat and prevent ice accumulation, while adaptive defrost systems use sensors to determine the optimal times for heat circulation.)

Q: With the dial in the back, what is the coldest setting. All the way clockwise? Or all the way counter clockwise (just up from the off position)

A: Hello Mike, The temperature dial has a thick area which is the coldest setting and a light and thin side which will be the warmest.

Q: Where are temperature controls?

A: On the Back baby.

Q: What are the dimensions of this refrigerator

A: The dimensions of this refrigerator is: Height 27 inches Width 17.75 inches Depth 20.13 inches

Q: I need this fridge to be exactly at 39oF. Will it keep the temperature stable?

A: Yo my chill-ski, This thing does not designate temperatures on the control knob located on the outer back side of the mini cool. (1-10 like most) I have a fridge thermometer that i monitor for my food safeties. Temperature inside is calculated by a variety of factors when it comes to conventional refrigeration systems, air saturation, outside temps, regeneration once the fridge has been opened, and the amount of stored cold energy in the items inside the fridge. I reconin' a lager refrigerator with a circulation fan could keep the temps more even/ balanced throughout the entire compartment (as some foods/items freeze to close the the coil area and/or entry duct from the freezer, some areas are don't cool as well like in doors/ poorly ventilated compartments for example. Im sure there is a full size fridge in Bestbuy that has a digital setting...but its gonna be full size. likely not what your looking for. There is a new cooling system our there, not sure if it is more accurate to maintain a precise temperature in the mini side of coolers--and it likely won't have a 'specific' temperature setting either. Im SURE that there is a lab bench style unit that exists the scientific supply world, a digitally controlled unit (atleast i would assume so) to be accurate down to a degree in the compartment, check with NASA. haha, i got jokes. \/ heres that superconductor fridge by Advanti \/ via quick search (sry best buy) http://www.homedepot.com/p/Avanti-1-7-cu-ft-Superconductor-Mini-Refrigerator-in-White-SHP1700W/203464661?cm_mmc=Shopping%7CTHD%7Cgoogle%7CD29+Appliances&mid=s5WAMPekZ%7Cdc_mtid_8903tb925190_pcrid_174512207692_pkw__pmt__product_203464661_slid_&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn7nZw6GH1gIVBQ1pCh2HRQWXEAQYAiABEgIobvD_BwE Good luck, sounds like you have something critical to refrigerate. If that be the case, i would look into maybe a supplier who is designing products for specific temperature requirements, if your looking at refrigerator to keep a small amount of food or drink chilled, the danby does a good job at it. On the Danby mini i just bought @ Best Buy, there are no coils visible on the outside, top, or bottom. Feeling the sides i determined this unit expels heat via coils conducting to the outer aluminum casing sides. (which didn't seem that great of a design to me...an added layer for getting the heat to get through..hmm i dunno. It works though, not to mention it matches its 10cuft big brother that i have also. Canadian company, quality stuff, hope it lasts. If not, @best buy you'll be hearing from me :) Good luck Carmen. Steve

Q: I need to know exactly what the interior dimensions of this fridge are because it would be the perfect fridge for me IF it can fit a corny keg, which is 25" high. I know the fridge is 26 15/16" high but that's exterior dimensions. Interior dim. pls?

A: Hello, Thank you for your question. The DAR026A1WDD interior dimensions are approximately 21.5 inches high by 14 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep. Please note that there is a step in the bottom 8 inches of the unit that only allows a total of 5 inches of depth. This step is where the compressor is located. Regards Ann

Q: How long is the plug in cord? This would sit on my floor but the outlets are half way up the wall.. If the cords isnt very long can it be plugged into a extension cord?

A: Hello, Thank you for your question. The power cord for the DAR026A1WDD is 61.02 inches long or approximately 5 feet. The plug should be plugged directly into the wall outlet as putting it on an extension cord could invalidate the warranty. Regards Ann H Consumer Service

Q: Can this fridge be used outdoors?

A: Possibly, as long as it is sheltered from the elements and properly grounded.
