Mitsubishi Electric 562L Multi Drawer MR-EX562W-N-A (Platinum Light) Questions & Answers

I have the exact same model and it’s started humming as well. It may be the compressor?
I have a Mitsubishi Electric preferred repairer coming out. Unfortunately it’s out of warranty by 11 months. Curious as to what the issue was with yours and if Mitsubishi Electric fixed it for you.

Hi M.E Australia Support,

All good! Thanks for getting back.

Love the fridge.

Cheers,

No the draws can be removed for cleaning, not to make the fridge shorter !!

My neighbour bought the bigger fridge thinking she could make it fit. You cant shrink a fridge.

If it was working but now is not working then it might be that the ice is stacked high at the back where the ice height sensor is located. Try opening the drawer and bringing all the ice forward.

Hi bgs,

You are correct, the sheet is there to minimise the noise of the ice cubes falling. (For reference see page 12 of the instruction manual)

It is just packaging. Throw away.
Enjoy your fridge

Hi Chris,

Yes the ice maker is fully automated, you don't have to do anything apart from cleaning & filling the water container & turning the ice maker on. Ice cubes magically appear in the ice cube drawer.

Hope this helps.

Yes magnets do stick to the front of this model just like normal but i believe they dont stick to the larger coloured glass door 743l models.

Yes, I can. But I have decided to only have a few on the side and keep the front clear.

Hello, yes I would easily recommend this fridge for 4 people. At present we have a fluctuation between 4 to 6 adults.

Hi Zoe, when I first got this fridge I was unsure of what to place the veggie crisper on, so I chose medium . But after checking the carrots 2 days later there was ice in the bottom of the container. I changed the setting to low and have not had any problems since. As for soft freeze, it depends on the item frozen. But most things seem to be able to be pulled apart/cut etc. Hope this helps

Zoe we never had frozen vegetables, setting as well on low.

Yes we regularly store 2 to 3 two litre milk cartons, aswell as a wine bottle, soft drinks bottle and a couple of stubbies in the same lower shelf between both doors. Hope that helps.

We find 2l plastic milk bottles DONT fit well in the larger door side as its too tight and when taking them out u tend to hit the shelf above it with the bottle as u pull it out. 2 will fit in the smaller door side(one behind the other)and is easy to access from there. We store all drinks on the highest shelve lying down with the shelve pushed back to half size and cans stay in the soft freeze draw at perfect drinking temp for me! Maybe trial it at the store first? Hope it works out for you either way :)

We have not trouble to fit one 2 liter milk bottle in the big door at the wide section of the shelf.

Hi, I bought the 562 platinum model, as I have a small space (apartment living). I didn't see the mahogany version. It's a very mod looking fridge, and almost everyone that's seen mine likes the look... I think it's beautiful

I have the 655, great fridge. It is in the platinum, we looked at both the 655 and the larger size. You wont regret the larger size or 655 for family. Check with some other suppliers. We bought ours from leading edge saved a $1000+. Bing Lea are fairly cheap as well. Buy at end if month they want sales then if you go with HNorman.

3 adults and I child family here. We got the 562 (as the 655 was a tad taller and did not fit in the dedicated fridge cabinet space in our kitchen). At first glance it looked much smaller than our old F&P 519 litre. But we were pleasantly surprised this was much more spacious! Because of the dedicated spaces for fruit/veg, ice, eggs, milk, juice, drinks, etc, it pretty much leaves the fridge section shelves empty for us. We find it has more than space for us. (although I still need to figure out how to use the versa drawer more effectively)
Btw, we got Bing Lee to price match 2nds World over the phone.
Also, if I had the space and didn't have to go over my budget, I would've bought the 655 as you never now when you might need the extra space :)

My wife leaves them in the plastic bag. But if you cut them up put in a clip lock container or a self seal bag. Hope this helps

Thanks, Grumps. In the veggie drawer?

I've tried every available setting for the veggie drawer but still have problems with veggies wilting. Carrots go soft in just a couple of days, quicker than those left outside the fridge on the kitchen counter amd quicker than those kept in the body of the fridge. Am I doing something wrong or is a design flaw in the fridge?

You are referring to an older model the MR-E62S,

You would be better off with a fridge that fits.

Hight or depth was not an issue for us although we had gap that won't fit most of big fridges, this one fits with issue and looks fine, it's relatively taller size doesn't compromise looks

Up to how you want things to look. You could put it to one side and use the other for storage (broom, bin, etc). Put it in the middle with smaller gaps on each side. Grab some cardboard boxes and do a mock up and see how it looks. It's hard to go past this fridge.

As far as I know just the size and colours available. The 562 (litres) is only available in Platinum Light which is a stainless steel style colour but the bigger 665 ( litres ) is also available in white - which a friend of mine has just bought.

Size, number of shelves, space in the door pockets, special light in the vegetable compartment of the 655 that keeps the vegetables fresher for longer. The brochure from Mitsubishi which you can get online or at your local Harvey Norman has a table that compares the two models. If you have the space get the 655, if not then go for the 562. I believe they only come in one colour. It is the larger MR-WX743Y which comes in while or Dark Mahogany. We are loving our 655.

My 562 also has the special light to keep veggies fresher longer. I think its standard on these two models.
