That has been my experience too. The refrigerator part stays plenty cold, but the freezer part gets less cold than it should be.
I have had a refrigerator in my attached garage since we built the house about 18 years ago. At first the garage was not insulated at all and had no drywall, so it stayed about the same temperature as it was outside. There were times that I had to take all the pop and beer into the house to keep it from freezing and maybe leaking, but I thought the stuff in the freezer would be OK...Not hardly. Almost everything we had in the freezing compartment melted, or at least did not stay really solid, and it was ruined. After that we did not try to store anything in the freezing compartment.
With the garage insulated and the interior finished, but still unheated most of the time in the winter, the refrigerator does much better. We still avoid keeping anything that might get ruined if the temperature does not stay at 0 degrees in the freezer. Since I finished the garage, it has never frozen in there and usually the only heat it gets is from my Wife"s car being parked inside after being driven.
I like the idea of having a low wattage light bulb burning in the refrigerator during the winter to get the unit to cycle. It also might be enough heat to keep pop cans from freezing when it is really cold.

To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
