Frequently Asked Questions: Mini Fridges

What should I consider when purchasing a mini fridge or compact refrigerator?

When purchasing a mini fridge or compact refrigerator, you want to consider several factors:

• Size and Capacity: Determine the amount of space you have available for the fridge and consider the capacity you need to store your items comfortably. Mini fridges come in various sizes, from compact options ideal for dorm rooms to larger models suitable for offices or small apartments.
• Features: Consider the features you want, like adjustable shelves, interior lighting, temperature control settings, and reversible doors. Some models also come with additional features like built-in freezers, door racks, or water dispensers for enhanced functionality.
• Energy Efficiency: Look for Energy Star-certified models to ensure energy-efficient operation and lower electricity bills. Energy-efficient mini fridges are designed to consume less power while still providing optimal cooling performance.
• Portability: If you intend to move the mini fridge frequently or use it in different locations, consider its portability. Look for lightweight models with sturdy handles or wheels for easy transportation.

By considering these factors, you can select a refrigerator that meets your needs and fits into your space.

How big are the mini fridges in your collection?

In our collection, mini fridges come in a variety of sizes to suit different needs and spaces. The available sizes include options that are smaller, like 3.2 cu. ft., 4.4 cu. ft., 4.5 cu. ft., as well as larger sizes like 6.1 cu ft or 7.5 cu. ft. Another way to determine the size of the mini fridge is by how many cans it can store, and Sam’s Club offers a range of options, from a 9-can mini fridge to a 126-can mini fridge.

Whether you're looking for a compact option for a dorm room or a larger model for an office or small apartment, we have a range of kitchen solutions to accommodate your storage requirements.

Do you have mini fridges that come with an attached mini fridge freezer?

Yes, we do offer mini fridges that come with an attached mini fridge freezer. These models are typically available in larger sizes, such as 3.2 cu. ft. or larger, and feature a separate freezer compartment for storing frozen items. While options with attached freezers are limited compared to standard mini fridges, they provide added versatility for storing a variety of perishable and frozen items in one compact unit. These models are ideal for apartments or dorm rooms where space is limited, but versatile storage options are essential.

If you’re looking just to store cold drinks and snacks, a mini fridge without a freezer compartment may be a better option for you.

How do I clean and maintain my mini fridge?

Cleaning and maintaining your mini fridge is essential to ensure optimal performance and hygiene. Here's a step-by-step guide. Before cleaning, unplug the mini fridge from the power source to prevent any accidents. Make sure you remove all items from the fridge, including shelves, drawers, and trays.

Then, use a mild detergent and warm water solution to clean the interior surfaces of the fridge, including shelves, walls, and door seals. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surfaces. For stubborn stains or spills, make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the affected areas. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft sponge or cloth. Thoroughly rinse the interior surfaces with clean water to remove any soap residue, and wipe the interior dry or allow it to air dry completely before placing items back in the fridge.

Don’t forget about the exterior - use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down the exterior surfaces of the fridge, including the door, handles, and control panel. Finally, once the interior and exterior are clean and dry, replace the shelves, drawers, and trays, and return the food items to the fridge.

By following these steps and maintaining regular cleaning and maintenance routines, you can keep your mini fridge clean, hygienic, and functioning efficiently for years to come.

How do warranty and support services work for mini fridges?

Many of our mini fridges come with a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and malfunctions for a specified period, often ranging from one to three years.

If your mini fridge experiences any issues covered under the warranty during the warranty period, you can usually contact the manufacturer or retailer for assistance.

Additionally, Sam’s Club offers warranty and support work for all of their home appliances, including mini fridges. These plans can provide additional coverage beyond the manufacturer's warranty period, offering peace of mind and protection against unexpected repair costs. If you have any questions or need support regarding your mini fridge's warranty, don't hesitate to reach out to the manufacturer or Sam’s Club for more assistance.
