Q: QuestionAn unusual question, but can magnets stick on the door?

Asked 3 months ago by Magnus.

• A:Answer Hello Magnus, thank you for the question. The door on the Insignia 3.1 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with Top Freezer has a stainless steel look finish, which is not magnetic, so standard fridge magnets will not stick to the door. The sides of the fridge are typically magnetic, so you can place your magnets there instead. Poojitha | Insignia

Q: QuestionWill this mini fridge and freezer work well on carpeting?

Asked 1 month ago by LisaB.

• A:Answer Hi Lisa, thank you for your question. The Insignia 3.1 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with Top Freezer (Model NS‑CF31TMSS26L) can sit on carpeting, but it is not ideal because soft carpet can block airflow under the unit and make the compressor work harder. It will still function, yet placing a thin, firm mat or board beneath it helps keep ventilation steady and ensures the fridge runs efficiently. Shashank | Insignia Products

Q: QuestionWhen defrosting this Insignia 3.1 Mini Fridge with top freezer WHERE do you need to place towels to catch the water from the melting ice? Will the water leak to the front towards the open door or another place?

Asked 1 month ago by Billy.

• A:Answer Hello Billy! Thank you for your question. When defrosting this Insignia 3.1 cu. ft. mini fridge, you should place towels inside the fridge at the bottom compartment and around the front base near the door to catch water, since melting ice will drain into the internal drain area and can overflow from the tray onto the ground, potentially leaking out toward the front.
