Overview
Kenmore builds this single door compact fridge for freestanding use in apartments, dorms and offices, with a chiller compartment for items that should stay extra cold. Mechanical controls set the temperature, and the door can be swapped to open from either side.
Flexible storage is the strength: removable glass shelves, door bins and a can rack let you arrange snacks, drinks and meal prep containers. Defrosting is manual, so frost has to be cleared by hand from time to time. No freezer temperature is stated for the chiller, so do not count on it for long term frozen food.
Who it's for
Students, office workers and renters who want a second fridge for drinks and lunches will use every shelf. People who want frost free operation or dependable frozen storage should look at a model with a separate freezer door.
Pros and cons
- Reversible door suits either wall placement
- Adjustable, removable glass shelves
- Built-in can rack organizes drinks
- ENERGY STAR certified efficiency
- Manual defrost means periodic frost removal
- Chiller temperature range not listed
- Single door, no separate freezer section
Performance notes
Cooling comes from a compressor, and the mechanical control sets how cold the cabinet runs. Because defrost is manual, frost builds around the chiller compartment over time, shrinking usable space and making the compressor work harder until it is cleared. Door seal condition and how often the door opens decide how steady the inside temperature stays.
