Good to know
Compact fridges are often put in warm spots like garages or dorm closets. A hotter room makes any fridge work harder than the EPA test assumes.

Also sold as

The EPA record lists no additional model numbers.

An asterisk in the model number stands for color or trim codes, so those finishes share these figures.
