Q: QuestionCan it be out doors

Asked 1 year ago by Fran.

• A:Answer The Insignia 4.9 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with Bottom Freezer is primarily designed for indoor use, such as in kitchens, garages, bedrooms, offices, or dorm rooms. While it can handle a variety of indoor environments, it is not specifically built to withstand outdoor conditions. Exposure to elements like rain, extreme temperatures, and humidity could potentially damage the appliance and affect its performance. Keith | Insignia Support

Q: QuestionWhere are the vents? The freezer works well but the refrigerator stays at 50 degrees My milk has been spoiling within a couple of days for the last several months I got food poisoned, with bad bloody diarrhea for 2 weeks, and almost hospitalized.

Q: QuestionJust had this unit delivered, installed and turned on. Within 20 minutes, the SIDES of the unit (outside) became very warm. Is this normal?? My common sense says, probably not. I need someone to confirm or advise. Thank you!

Asked 1 year ago by TomK.

• A:Answer Hi Tom. Thank you for purchasing our Insignia™ - 4.9 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with Bottom Freezer and ENERGY STAR Certification. Heat dissipation from the condenser may make the outside feel hot. This is normal and happens if the room temperature is high, you have too much food in your refrigerator, you open and close the doors excessively, and in this case, first time using. I hope this helps. Have a nice day! - James | Insignia Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285

Q: Questionwhy there is condensation either at recommended or setting 3? Mold grows quickly. Any cleaning steps? Where are the vents to clean? Anything else?

Asked 1 year ago by JR.

• A:Answer Hi JR! Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your Insignia™ - 4.9 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with Bottom Freezer and ENERGY STAR Certification. I understand how frustrating your situation is right now, especially with condensation occurring even though it's already set to 3. Here are some potential reasons and steps you can take to address them: 1. High Humidity: If the surrounding environment is humid, condensation can form inside the fridge more easily. 2. Incorrect Temperature Setting: Setting the fridge temperature too low can lead to excess condensation. 3. Poor Air Circulation: Check for any obstructions around the vents inside the fridge or at the back of the appliance. 4. Door Seal Issues: A damaged or worn-out door seal can allow warm air to enter the fridge, leading to condensation. 5. Overfilling the Fridge: Overpacking the fridge can obstruct airflow and prevent proper circulation, leading to moisture buildup. Make sure there's enough space between items for air to flow freely. By addressing these issues, you can help reduce condensation and improve the performance of your freezer. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out. |Angelica| Insignia Support| https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-4-9-cu-ft-mini-fridge-with-bottom-freezer-and-energy-star-certification-stainless-steel/6445074.p?skuId=6445074

Q: QuestionI’m wondering if this would work for breast milk storage or if the freezer isn’t reliable temperature wise for that

Asked 1 year ago by Firsttimemom.

• A:Answer Hi Firsttimemom, we appreciate your inquiry! Insignia™ - 4.9 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with Bottom Freezer has easy temperature control and can be adjusted from 32° to 50° F (0° to 10° C) or the temperature of your freezer from -0.4° to 10.4° F (-22° to -12° C) with an easy-to-set dial. However, for storing breast milk, it is recommended to keep it at a consistent temperature of around 0°F (-18°C) in the freezer. It is important to ensure that the freezer maintains a stable and consistent temperature to avoid damaging the breast milk. You may want to consider using a separate standalone freezer specifically designed for storing breast milk to ensure optimal and safe storage conditions. It is also advisable to use a thermometer to monitor the temperature inside the freezer regularly.

Q: QuestionOur fridge doesn't seem to be very cold, but the freezer is great. From the photos it looks the hole at the back of the fridge is covered by a small black piece, can someone confirm what the piece is? Mine doesn't have it, it's just an exposed hole.

Q: QuestionDo magnets stick to this? I know they don’t on some stainless

Asked 1 year ago by Morgan.

• A:Answer Yes, you can stick magnets to the side of a fridge. Most fridges are made from metal, so the magnets will stick to them. However, if your fridge has a plastic coating on the outside then the magnet may not adhere to the surface. If this is the case, you could try using a strong double-sided adhesive to attach the magnet to the surface.

Q: QuestionWhy is there so much frost and ice build up and how do I stop it? Also, how do I defrost the freezer?

Asked 2 years ago by Nady69.

• A:Answer So far my fridge is working fine with no frost build up. You might have left the door cracked open and that can cause ice build up. To defrost you could take everything out and put it in a cooler and unplug it overnight.
