What is this thing out of my fridge?

Just bought a second hand wine fridge so no instruction manual, etc. It has this weird tray in it (pic). At first I thought it would draw out moisture or something but the lines on the side say min and max, suggesting I'm supposed to fill it with something, but what? Do I just fill it with water?? What does it actually do? My other fridges have had none of this malarkey

Perhaps google the make and model number and look at the manual online? I have no idea what that is!

Can you Google the instruction manual? I've no idea what the tray could be for!

justchecking1 · 05/07/2019 20:35

There doesn't even seem to be a make on this thing, let alone a model number 🤷🏻‍♀️

Perhaps I'm supposed to fill it with wine as a kind if offering to the God of wine fridges??

You must drink a lot of wine to need a separate fridge for it all!

Could it be a glass cooling tray?

Isn't it a humidity reservoir? I've no idea why they're needed but iirc you fill them a third of the way full with water. (My old MD had one at work in his office). Could you google wine cooler water tray?

Is it a drip tray for the defrosting process?
Best just fill it the wine though Grin

MyNewBearTotoro · 05/07/2019 20:40

How big is it? Very hard to gauge from the pic. Is it a tray the size of a shelf or is it small?

Could this be it? Scroll down to the bit about the humidity box

It's about 8" by 4".

@AnnieOH1 has it. The Amazon man dropping off a parcel has just confirmed it's a humidifier but that apparently it doesn't really do much.

I prefer the wine offering tray idea though ☺️

It's a humidity tray. You fill it with water and put it on one of the shelves.
Not sure why, our wine fridge has one too.

A little tray with a hair roller at the back?

The corks dry out, let air in, and the wine goes off...she said reaching for her classy screw top bottle
