Designed with an emphasis on energy efficiency, this 3.2 cu. ft. single-door unit utilizes a chilled-plate evaporator system. Specifications indicate an annual energy consumption of approximately 220 kWh. The interior features high-impact polystyrene liners and tempered glass shelves, providing a sturdy and chemical-resistant environment for food storage.
The unit operates at approximately 38dB, making it suitable for quiet offices or bedrooms. A reversible door hinge allows for flexible installation in tight corners. To maintain optimal performance, the manual defrost system requires attention every few months to clear any ice buildup on the cooling plate.
Tests show that setting the thermostat to a mid-range level, such as 3.5, helps maintain a balance between the freezer section and the main fridge area without over-chilling fresh items.
The door features a reinforced steel pivot designed for long-term use. While the internal freezer section uses a flap design rather than a separate sealed door, it provides a convenient space for short-term frozen storage and ice making.
For a model with a more distinct retro aesthetic and a separate freezer door, consider the Frigidaire Retro Mint fridge.
