Q: QuestionJust got my new fridge and haven't plugged it in yet but noticed that the fridge door feels like it's hitting resistance about 1/3 out and in when I open and close it...have to give it a nice push or pull to close or open. It does close tight. Normal?

Asked 6 years ago by Jilly.

• A:Answer That resistance you’re feeling is from the mechanism that closes/keeps open the door. If you look at the very bottom of where the door swings open you’ll see a white plastic lever. I believe it’s designed to help assist in closing the door but also when you open it past the halfway mark to keep it open.

Q: QuestionWill this unit work in my garage, although my garage is insulated winter temp is around 40 degrees. if not is their a garage kit available? or could you recommend a small refrigerator 14 cubic foot or less that would work. Thanks Dave

Asked 6 years ago by SantaDave.

• A:Answer Hi, SantaDave! Thank you for your inquiry. It is recommended to not install the refrigerator where the surrounding air temperature may fall to 50°F (10°C) or below. The refrigerator compartment contents may freeze. Do not install the refrigerator where the surrounding air temperature may reach 110°F (43°C) or above. The refrigerator and freezer compartments may rise to above normal operating temperatures. In researching, we were unable to locate any compact refrigerators that are recommended to be installed in area that goes below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. We hope this information was helpful to you. -Ciara

Q: QuestionCan this 4.5 cf refrigerator/freezer sit right on carpeting? Or is it better to have it on a hard smooth surface floor? I.e. Are there any vents on the bottom of the unit, or does the bottom get warm at all?

Asked 5 years ago by Chris.

• A:Answer Hi Chris - it is recommended that the refrigerator/freezer sits on a hard surface. Carpeting if wet will get moldy, it is more difficult to level the appliance & a hard surface allows better ventilation. Though there are no air vents that exhaust out the underside of the unit, when the cooling fan is operating, carpet fibers could get sucked up by the fan and deposited on the motor and coils. The bottom does get warm.

Q: QuestionDo you need to defrost the freezer regularly? And how about the noise?

Asked 5 years ago by Kath.

• A:Answer Hi, Kath! Thank you for your inquiry. To maintain the efficiency of a manual-defrost refrigerator, it should be defrosted each time it develops a quarter-inch of ice build-up on the interior walls. Many people defrost their refrigerators once a year, but you may find that you need to do yours more or less often depending on your usage habits. Also, the noise level of this model can vary. For some it may be soft or medium. We hope this information was helpful to you. -Ciara

Q: QuestionHow often should I defrost the fridge and where does the melted water from the ice go? How can I prevent too much ice from forming in the freezer too fast?

Asked 5 years ago by Chigirl2.

• A:Answer Hey, Chigirl2! It is recommended to manually defrost your unit if the frost gets to be 3 to 5 mm thick. During the defrost cycle, water will accumulate in the drip tray. The only thing that can cause frost buildup inside a freezer is warm moist air. To prevent frost buildup, ensure that all doors/lids are fully closed, and all gaskets are fully seated in the retaining channel. ~Keyanna
