    • Defrost Type: Frost free, Frost free (Ice build-up can reduce the appliance’s cooling capacity, making it work harder and consume more energy. 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: Is there a light in the freezer section at the bottom?

A: Not in the freezer but on the outside door below top hinge

Q: If I was to buy two units to make one all refrigerator and the other all freezer can they go directly next to each other or is there requirements for the spacing of each unit?

A: Hello Ddluckie79, thank you for your question about our Midea - 20 cu. ft. 50/50 Flex 3-in-1 Frost Free Convertible Freezer. Yes, you can place two of the units side-by-side. However, you must not push them directly flush against each other, they need approximately 4 inches of clearance space around the unit. Have a great day! Midea Customer Support.

Q: where is the serial number located for product registration

A: Hello Tee, thank you for your question about our Midea - 20 cu. ft. 50/50 Flex 3-in-1 Garage Ready Frost Free Convertible Freezer. The serial number can be found on the white barcode sticker on the lower back of the unit. It will be labeled as SN, it normally starts with a 3 or a 5. The number is approximately 15-22 digits. Have a great day! Midea Customer Support.

Q: What is the ambient temperature range for this unit in mixed refrigerator/freezer mode, full refrigerator mode, and full freezer mode? Our garage gets below 38F in the winter; is full freezer mode the only option during those months?

A: Hello TimC, thank you for your question about our Midea Midea - 20 cu. ft. 50/50 Flex 3-in-1 Frost Free Convertible Freezer. The ambient operating temperature for the refrigerator/freezer and full refrigerator mode is between 38°F and 110°F, while in full freezer mode, it ranges from 0°F to 110°F. Have a great day! Midea Customer Support.

Q: Would I be able to fit a full-size baking sheet on the shelves? (18x26in)

A: Hi AB, thank you for inquiring about our Midea - 20 cu. ft. 50/50 Flex 3-in-1 Garage Ready Frost Free Convertible Freezer. No, a full-size baking sheet will not fit because the freezer's interior width and depth are too narrow to allow the door to close. Have a great day! ~Midea Customer Support

    Awesome garage fridge/freezer

    I bought this to replace a fridge that was failing. This is an excellent design as I like to use more freezer space for food prepping, and such. And this can flex into fridge/fridge, fridge/freezer or freezer/freezer. I live in Central Florida and it’s hotter than heck and humid and the product is performing well. Highly recommend. Some reviewers have commented that the bottom door will open if you shut the top door hard, and it does but under normal use I do not find this a problem. My only criticism would be that the lower area does not have a light.

    Seal issue

    Overall, I like the concept of this Midea 50/50 Garage Ready Fridge/Freezer. It has a lot of potential, but there’s one major flaw. If you read reviews on other websites, you’ll see many people mention that when you close one door, the other door can pop open. Unfortunately, I’ve experienced the same issue. More than once, I’ve closed the refrigerator door without realizing the bottom freezer door had popped open. The freezer was left open long enough to frost over. Ruining food. I’m currently in contact with Midea to see if they have a fix or solution for this problem. I’m still within my return window, I bought from Best Buy. But you know how bestbuy is they won’t touch it until warranty window is up. and whether I keep it will depend on how media responds. If they can resolve the door issue, I’d be happy with it. Otherwise, it’s a significant design flaw that buyers should be aware of -yes I did check for level.
