Review is supper on point no bs, very descriptive, well thought out, and not stretching it out to make it longer than it needs to be as well as honest 10/10 review
I've had the EFR376-RED for 2 years now and it works great, just manually defrost every 3 or 4 months. I found it sitting on the curb in my neighborhood next to a trash can in prefect shape. Go figure..
I would love to know about different options, like different door configurations, availability of extra shelves & replacement parts. Thanks for the work you do!
As far as color options, it doesn't look like any of the models mix and match colors. I researched this unit quite a bit when I reviewed it and didn't notice anything other than solid color options. The same thing can be said about the number of shelves. What you see is pretty much what you get. The parts also seem fairly hard to come by. I have found a few places that do sell, but what options you do have are a bit less than you would expect and third party. Still, I do love this little fridge. Its a good unit. I still use it to this day and have no complaints.
I bought the two door version of this little refrigerator and the freezer is much larger but the inside of the refrigerator part is exactly the same! Great thorough review!!
I got this fridge, looked very cool and bonus has a bottle opener I was super excited to just have a built in bottle opener like that one wall in a dads garage but sadly I cannot fit a cap in the opener and it seems like it’s just for looks
For some reason I can't find any replacement parts for this model number. I need to look on the product sticker for something else I guess. Trying to replace the cheap plastic handle that broke off. It's not totally necessary to open the fridge but it helps. I too found one of these on the side of the road at Michigan State and will be testing the compressor this afternoon after transporting it on its side yesterday for an hour or two. The previous owner also left the factory clear plastic protective skin in place which was a pain to remove from all the areas where it was tucked underneath.
Not sure what happened to my last reply, but the mini fridges are serviced or supported by a separate division of Frigidaire called Curtis International. I have been going back-and-forth with their customer service attempting to identify the exact plastic doorhandle part I am missing. But I think they have located it as a $15 replacement part. I'll probably order two to have a back up. I will report back if they don't follow through with having their parts department call me to place the order...
So Curtis international out of Ontario Canada did call me to place the order. I almost bought a set of two but they told me the handle comes with the base as long as you already have the original two screws. Took a couple weeks to arrive through the mail, and I immediately noticed the replacement handle would not fit the original base on the door. Luckily I figured that out before I beat too hard on the handle with a big rubber hammer. Replaced the original base with the new replacement base and noticed the new parts are slightly different when compared side-by-side. You do have to push the handle sideways to snap it into place pretty firmly, and it feels like it's going to break as it snaps into place. All in all a fairly good experience with Curtis International.
Question: How sturdy is the top? Are we talking sheet metal or is the casing aluminum? I'm thinking of buying this but want to know how much weight can I place on top. I'm thinking of making this do double duty to be a printer stand for my laser printer in the office. The printer is 48 lbs and I have a slight worry if the fridge case is aluminum, the sheer weight of the printer max cause the shell/casing to buckle or worse dent to the point the door would lose its seal because the casing may get warped. My solution is put place a sheet of plywood on top to act as a distributor of weight. But if the whole thing is aluminum, even the plywood solution may cause it all to buckle. Any thoughts?
Mine is a very thick metal that feels like it would be very appropriate for what your describing. It would take a lot to put a dent in it, as the walls are very thick. I don't think you should worry at all.
I can't get to it right now, but mine has those screw in feet. They are only at the front though, so if you think your missing the back ones, mine is like that too.
Does it come with ice trays? and will it hold mini trays or regular sized trays. I can't tell dimensions of freezer-if you have them please provide. Great review! Do more!
Mine didn't come with ice trays. Don't get anything oversized. 11x8x3.5 inches is the size of the freezer. Not too big, but it does freeze. If you can handle the entire top shelf freezing, there is also the option of cranking it to like a 5 or 6 setting and it will start to freeze the shelf just below the freezer too. Probably not the most energy efficient solution, but its an option.
The top shelf is about 8.5 in x 14 inches. The bottom is 9 in x 14 inches. You can move the top shelf up or down to your desired height, as it has 4 different options to place it.
Ice does form on the metal freezer drawer (bottom of the freezer area). If you let it build up, it will eventually have to be melted and that will indeed produce some water.
Hi, I purchased & love. The only problem is the handle. I can align and slide on, however, it will not click to attach properly. Any ideas? I don't want to force and the handle may break.
FYI: The handle will not slide in and be completely flush. It's supposed to be like that. Mine does that and I've talked to people with the same problem. Don't try to force it. That's how it was designed.
There was a cardboard support when it shipped, but that was just to help with shipping. It was just a single piece of cardboard that slid right off. Nothing super thick or anything, but it did its job I guess.
It does make a slight sound when the fan stops (like every few hours), but its very faint, think rustling of papers, or a rubbing feet on carpet, but nothing more. Otherwise, its silent. I still love it and use it to this day. If its on the cheap, it should be fine!
The bottom row is the warmest. If you have issues, I would suggest turning it down to about 2-3. That seems to be the sweet spot for me. It does change though given the rooms ambient temperature, so keep that in mind.
@@cutthatcoconut9018 Sorry about that. Mine doesn't do that. If you can't get them to not freeze on the bottom shelf at the lowest setting, there is no other was to set the temp, to my knowledge. I would try to either contact Frigidaire or maybe take it into a shop. I wish I could help you, but it seems like a unique situation. :( Reddit also can be a good resource for these kind of situations I've found. Other people have to have had this problem before. Good luck.
Any issues so far? I want a small fridge for my office just for lunch stuff like butter, salads and coffee creamer ? Any leaking? Any electrical issues.
I love it. It never has any issues. Just remember that the freezer is a bit on the smaller side. Otherwise, a lot of room. The motor makes a bit of a sound every hour or so, but its not louder than a coffee maker. Good little fridge to be honest. I keep all my salad stuff in there and it stays fresh for weeks. You can't get the cardboard ice-cream containers in the freezer though.... only fudgesicles and other stuff that's not too tall.
I have seen other models with the sticker on the bottom that look chrome , does it have a cover on yours that needs to be removed? It looks white from here.
I couldn’t get the handle to click either. The handle aligned to slide in, but it seemed like there was too much of a lip on the handle piece to slide over the tab on the door. I took a flathead screwdriver and scraped away at the little section at the base in the handle. Shaved a tiny bit off, and then on my next firm push it finally chunked into place. Not sure if that would work for others, but before that my handle wouldn’t attach well enough to stop it from falling off.
@@coffee8599 I feel like the button turned it off. The compressor shut down when I pressed it. Turn it all the way to zero reset it, or popped it back out.
I tried helping someone a while back and apparently finding parts is very hard for this model. You could try finding official Frigidaire parts, however in the past, people say its impossible to find this model specifically. Searching just turns up new entire models. This might be a case of the brand franchising the name out to a different manufacturer. You might have to custom make something because from my experience, finding them is not very easy.
Its 3 & 3/4 x 12 inches. Pretty small, but you can get a few smaller things in there. No on the bigger ice cream containers though. Still works great too.
No, there are no holes drilled for the hinges or handle on that side. There is also a door lever, light switch that looks specific to that side as well.
The only button that I know to push here, is the one that shuts the light off. The only other control is a dial for the temperature. Where are you pressing?
@@GroovySauce there is a button in the middle of the rotary temperature dial. Seems to turn off the compressor but I’m just guessing because the compressor rumbled off when I pressed it.
Review is supper on point no bs, very descriptive, well thought out, and not stretching it out to make it longer than it needs to be as well as honest 10/10 review
Thank you much! That's my thoughts exactly. Thanks for your kind words.
@@GroovySauce any time bro keep up the good work stay Blessed🙏🏽
THANK YOU! been searching like crazy for the thermostat settings & nadaaa.. then i found this video & you answered & for that sir we thank you :)
Very Professional Presentation... Great Job... Thank You very much.

I personally positioned mine where I don't use the opener either. I just have the left side facing a wall, so its just not possible.
I got the blue one & I'm about to buy the pink one

I love mine. I hope yours works out well!
@@GroovySaucemine is still going 10 months strong I'm on the pink one now
1st here for Groovy time!!
Anytime is a good time for Groovy time!
@@GroovySauce Agreed!
I needed to see the bottom! Mine was missing some feet.
I can't get to it right now, but mine has those screw in feet. They are only at the front though, so if you think your missing the back ones, mine is like that too.

The top shelf is about 8.5 in x 14 inches. The bottom is 9 in x 14 inches. You can move the top shelf up or down to your desired height, as it has 4 different options to place it.
Is it OK to put this in the corner of a room where there is carpet?
I don't see why not. Keep in mind though, the bottle opener only attaches to one side of the machine. Otherwise, it should be good to go.
Good day GroovySauce, Can you tell me the height from the floor to the door hinge? I have a maximum height of 32.5" to play with. Thank you. Lee
Will this produce a lot of water ?
Ice does form on the metal freezer drawer (bottom of the freezer area). If you let it build up, it will eventually have to be melted and that will indeed produce some water.
The button where you change the temperature is that to turn the Freezer on and off??
Yes! If you turn the dial all the way to the left, the fridge will shut off. You turn it right, it will become progressively colder.

Is there a cardboard panel on the back? Mine did not come with one, but it was used so I'm curious of yours did since it looked new.
There was a cardboard support when it shipped, but that was just to help with shipping. It was just a single piece of cardboard that slid right off. Nothing super thick or anything, but it did its job I guess.
@@GroovySauce was there a piece that goes on the back of normal refrigerators that covers the back but also allows for heat dissipation?
Is it noisy? I want to get one for my nursery but worried of the sound it makes
It does make a slight sound when the fan stops (like every few hours), but its very faint, think rustling of papers, or a rubbing feet on carpet, but nothing more. Otherwise, its silent. I still love it and use it to this day. If its on the cheap, it should be fine!
IT KEEPS FREEZING MY DRINKS AT EVERY TEMP WHAT DO I DO
The bottom row is the warmest. If you have issues, I would suggest turning it down to about 2-3. That seems to be the sweet spot for me. It does change though given the rooms ambient temperature, so keep that in mind.
@@GroovySauce I just said at every temp

quiet as a church mouse....Great Job!
I doubt it mine kinda noisy 😮 and I just got it
Leveling
It seems like the door can’t be reversed. Is something in the directions that show it can?
There's nothing in the manual about reversing the door, plus there are no holes drilled on that side either that would accommodate this.

@@GroovySauce thank you! Sold! 😃
The handle on mine wont fit. It doesnt go all the way in. The threading seems poorly made and is plastic.
Mine does the same thing. There will definitely be a lip that will seem like it wont go in. Don't worry, its just like that for some reason. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have seen other models with the sticker on the bottom that look chrome , does it have a cover on yours that needs to be removed? It looks white from here.
Mine is just a light grey shiny plastic. Not chrome.
I have one brand new but its very noisy any help? Its normal?
Mine runs fairly quiet, I wish I could help.
is the handle supposed to go fully into the slider or is there supoosed to be some space where it hangs off a bit?
Mine has a little bit of a lip that extends out a bit. Its not much, like a quarter of an inch, but yeah it does extend out a bit.
I can’t push the handle all the way in. No click. Any suggestions?
I couldn’t get the handle to click either. The handle aligned to slide in, but it seemed like there was too much of a lip on the handle piece to slide over the tab on the door.
I took a flathead screwdriver and scraped away at the little section at the base in the handle. Shaved a tiny bit off, and then on my next firm push it finally chunked into place.
Not sure if that would work for others, but before that my handle wouldn’t attach well enough to stop it from falling off.
@@jessetahirali960 thank you so much for the tip!! I’m going to try that!
What does the button on the temp controls do
The radial dial controls the temperature. There is also a button that turns off the light directly in front of it, when the door closes.
@@GroovySauce HI! Is there a way to reset this option? I pushed it, now it won't pop back out. Thank you for your time.
@@coffee8599 I feel like the button turned it off. The compressor shut down when I pressed it. Turn it all the way to zero reset it, or popped it back out.
Do you know where I can purchase a replacement handle?

This might be a case of the brand franchising the name out to a different manufacturer. You might have to custom make something because from my experience, finding them is not very easy.
so is the cold setting on the 0 or the 6?
The low cool setting is 0 (essentially off) and 6 will make everything super cold and freeze even some stuff on the top shelf under the freezer.
What are the rough dimensions of the freezer?
Its 3 & 3/4 x 12 inches. Pretty small, but you can get a few smaller things in there. No on the bigger ice cream containers though. Still works great too.
Is the door reversible?
No, there are no holes drilled for the hinges or handle on that side. There is also a door lever, light switch that looks specific to that side as well.
How would you rate loudness? Thanks
At the loudest its about as loud as whisper. Think computer fans or a super quiet microwave. It only really makes this noise when its on too.
@@GroovySauce Perfect comparison. That helps a lot. Thanks!
the button.. i accidentally pushed it and it won’t come back out is that bad?
I need to know too!
The only button that I know to push here, is the one that shuts the light off. The only other control is a dial for the temperature. Where are you pressing?
Turn the dial to zero and it will reset.
@@GroovySauce there is a button in the middle of the rotary temperature dial. Seems to turn off the compressor but I’m just guessing because the compressor rumbled off when I pressed it.
Anyone try to remove the handle? My loose and I want to remove it tighten up the screw
I never tried. Mine is pretty tight. I'm scared I might damage it.
What’s the warranty?
I think there was one available on Amazon, however I didn't opt in for it.
