• Test the power outlet for current 
• Inspect the electrical cord for damage 
• Eliminate use of an extension cord, if any is being used 
• Check the outlet voltage 

Refrigerator or freezer is not cold enough 
• Check the temperature setting 
• Assure that there is enough room for air flow in the refrigerator or freezer

This is a good refrigerator. So far, it works great! Small size, not easy to occupy space. I like it so much! The packaging is great!

The compact refrigerator, freezer, microwave combination is perfect for the dorm room; man cave; entertainment area; patio. It doesn't take up much room and the safety aspects of utilizing one plug prevents overload and safety devices of smoke detector alarm system shuts off the microwave when accidently overcooking. The extra USB ports are great when there are so limited outlets available in such limited quarters. I liked the 2 door separate areas for freezer and refrigerator so as not to compromise the freezer compartment when opening the refrigerator door.

I bought the stainless steel version for my daughter to take to college. It has a true freezer, a nice size refrigerator, and a small microwave. Most colleges allow it because it uses one plug. When the microwave is on, the power cuts off from the fridge so no circuits will be blown in the dorm. It also has some convenient USB ports and an outlet to charge devices. The only con is that it's best to transport this upright and its tall, even without the microwave, so we might need to rent a mini-van for the move. It can be transported flat, but for every hour it's lying down, it needs to spend two or three hours upright. So for a three hour drive to school, you'd want to have it upright for 9 hours or overnight, before turning it on. It would be like starting a car with no oil in the engine. We got a great price with no shipping and no tax, so I'm happy with the purchase and I think it will beat the rental price at the college. It's also new and clean and the stainless steel is snazzy.

We are very happy with this unit. It provides a refrigerator, freezer, and microwave. The microwave has two USB ports and a power outlet. Knowing that she will not throw a breaker by running too many appliances at once is a great piece of mind. Pros: Separate freezer, USB charging ports, power outlet Cons: None.

Great fridge, compact & efficient, plenty of room for dorm essentials like frozen dinners, milk and juice, and of course ice cream for those stress days (love that the freezer is a separate compartment).
