Features:

ENERGY STAR® Certified
ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency. Element's ENERGY STAR refrigerators are more efficient than the minimum federal efficiency standard, so they use less energy. This reduces your electricity bill while also being better for the environment.

No-Frost System
The freezer of this 18.0 cu. ft. fridge features a no-frost system, so your food won’t frost over. This reduces the chance for odors and freezer burn that can affect the taste of your food. Save time and effort since you never have to manually defrost the freezer.

Crisper Drawers
Element refrigerators are equipped with crisper drawers to prolong the freshness of stored produce. Your crisper drawer will have a different humidity level from the rest of the fridge, making sure your fruits and veggies' freshness is optimized to extend their shelf life.

Adjustable Shelves
Spill-proof, adjustable glass shelves provide flexible, customizable, and ergonomic storage options. You can keep your shelves flat across the unit or stagger them as needed for tall (or short) items. Being able to remove shelves also makes it easy to keep your fridge clean.

Gallon-Size Door Storage
The fridge door has even more flexible storage space. Keep large containers within reach — and out of the way — in the gallon-size door bins. Save valuable shelf space with convenient storage options. Plus, removable door storage makes cleaning up messes a breeze.
