Q: QuestionI just plugged our new mini fridge into the outlet to start the initial cooling process to reach the desired temperature. Need to know if it's normal for the compressor to turn on and off as frequent as every 3 to 4 mins.during this initial set-up.
Asked by Luckymom.
- A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! Yes, it’s generally normal for the compressor in your Insignia™ 1.7 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge to turn on and off every 3 to 4 minutes during the initial cooling process. This can happen especially if the fridge is empty, the room temperature is warm, or the thermostat is set to a colder setting. The compressor works in short bursts to quickly bring the internal temperature down to the desired level. Additionally, if the door has been opened recently, warm air entering the fridge can cause the compressor to cycle more frequently. This behavior should stabilize after a few hours once the fridge reaches its set temperature. However, if the frequent cycling continues beyond 24 hours, it might indicate issues such as poor ventilation, a thermostat problem, or a faulty sensor. Make sure the fridge has enough space around it for proper airflow and isn’t placed near a heat source. Keith | Insignia Support

Q: QuestionCan you use an extension cord with this compact fridge?
Asked by question.
- A:Answer No, it's not recommended to use an extension cord with the Insignia™ 1.7 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge, as it can pose a fire hazard and may not provide stable power. For safety, always plug the fridge directly into a wall outlet. Patricia | Insignia Support

Q: QuestionI really care about the noise; does it make much of a noise? Is it louder than the biggest size of this fridge (the one with freezer) or they are the same?
Asked by Deedee.
- A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ 1.7 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge is generally considered to be very quiet, with users reporting minimal humming and rare noticeable noise. Occasionally, there might be clicking sounds when the fridge turns on and off. In comparison, the Insignia™ 9.2 Cu. Ft. Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator also operates quietly, producing a light hum when cooling. While both models are designed to be unobtrusive in terms of noise, the mini fridge might be slightly quieter overall due to its smaller size and cooling capacity. If noise is a significant concern for you, both models are designed to be quiet, but the mini fridge might be slightly quieter overall. Keith | Insignia Support

Q: QuestionDear Insignia Support Team, I purchased the 1.7 Cu. Ft Mini Fridge last week, and generally quite pleased with it, but when the compressor shuts off, after cooling the fridge, it makes quite a loud "pop" noise, which is very distracting, can you help?
Asked by LocalResident.
- A:Answer Thank you for reaching out. The noises you are hearing are normal sounds produced by plastic components, such as shelves, expanding or contracting with temperature changes as the cooling motor (compressor) operates. I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. - Carl | Insignia Support

Asked by Settings.
- A:Answer The temperature settings for the Insignia™ 1.7 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge are typically adjusted using a dial inside the fridge, which ranges from 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest). Here’s a general idea of the temperature ranges you can expect at each setting: - Setting 1: Approximately 46°F (8°C) - Setting 2: Approximately 43°F (6°C) - Setting 3: Approximately 41°F (5°C) - Setting 4: Approximately 39°F (4°C) - Setting 5: Approximately 37°F (3°C) - Setting 6: Approximately 35°F (2°C) - Setting 7: Approximately 33°F (1°C) These temperatures are approximate and can vary based on factors like the fridge's contents, ambient room temperature, and how often the door is opened. If you need more precise control over the temperature, you might consider using a fridge thermometer to monitor and adjust as needed.

Q: QuestionI am looking for something to use for a standalone sparkling water system. Am I able to drill holes into this fridge for gas and liquid lines leading to a bar tap?
Asked by Deadhead117.

Q: QuestionCan this fridge be placed on a shelf in a bedroom closet? Do I really need 5" all around it or is there smaller dimensions that will still work? Thank you
Asked by keepitcold.
- A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ 1.7 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with ENERGY STAR Certification can be placed on a shelf in a bedroom closet, but it's essential to ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating. While it's generally recommended to leave about 5 inches of clearance around refrigerators for airflow, you may be able to place it with less clearance depending on the specific dimensions of your closet and the fridge's ventilation requirements. However, it's crucial to avoid blocking the vents on the back or sides of the fridge to maintain proper airflow and cooling efficiency.

Q: QuestionAre there any specific set up/initial usage instructions? Such as "Keep fridge upright for 24 hours before plugging in" or "do not store items in the fridge for the first 24 hours after turning on" or "only turn on to level x for the first 24 hours"
Asked by Jerry.
- A:Answer Hi Jerry! You got it right! It is recommended to keep the fridge in upright position for more than 30 minutes after transportation before plugging in to prevent malfunction in the cooling system. Also, we recommend setting the thermostat to 4 and leave it for 24 hours before putting food in to allow enough time to cool down. I hope this helps.
