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.

Ice Maker Ready

Add a compatible ice maker kit (sold separately) to make up to 2.7 pounds of ice a day. Plus, the included bucket can store up to 5.5 pounds of ice. This ice maker prevents overflow by automatically detecting when the storage bin is full and stopping production. You can manually switch it off when no ice is needed. Spend less time filling ice trays and more time enjoying cool, refreshing drinks.

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.

LED Light

Element's 20.5 cu. ft. fridge features long lasting and energy efficient interior LED lighting. These lights emit minimal heat to conserve energy and keep your fridge at a consistent temperature. See everything clearly while grabbing a late-night snack.

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.
