Micro-Fridge Rental

[KellyLJ1]

<p>My D rented one of the micro-fridge units for her room in Anderson and the microwave doesn’t appear to work. She has put in a work order, but we are wondering if there is some secret to the set up? Is the microwave plugged in separately? I think I only saw one plug going into the wall.</p>

<p>I thought the microwave was supposed to plug into the fridge–that is the reason it’s kosher to use in the rooms?</p>

MicroFridge® with Safe Plug® technology features a patent-pending power management system that set our combination appliances apart from the rest. Our products are specifically manufactured to conserve electricity and reduce potential fire hazards that are caused by overloaded electrical circuits - especially important in older residences and dormitories. </p>

<p>MicroFridge® appliances with refrigerator/freezer and 700 watt microwave oven operate with just one plug inserted into one outlet socket and never draw more than 11 amps. This safety feature has an added benefit… it helps to conserve energy, which means that it will save you money when compared to other combination appliances.</p>

<p>In a MicroFridge® combination appliance, the refrigerator/freezer plugs into a special outlet on the back of the microwave, the microwave then plugs into the wall…using only one wall socket. When you purchase a refrigerator and a separate microwave, 2 power cords are needed to operate the appliances…with a MicroFridge® combination appliance, just one plug is needed. This feature regulates power to each appliance, to conserve electricity and free up wall outlets. Most importantly, it allows our combination units to be used safely, without special wiring, even in older buildings.

<p>Apparently, my newly independent daughter has figured all that out and fixed it herself already. Perhaps a good reminder for mom that she is more than capable of solving her own problems! Thanks anyway, DeskPotato.</p>
