JayinNY said: (quoted from post at 22:43:29 01/06/10) Does any have a fridge/freezer in a un heated garage? Problem with mine is it freezes the things in the fridge if I dont turn it down when its this cold out. So I turned it down, and now I see the meat in the freezer was thawing out. Does the cold garage mess up the thermostat of what ever it is that keeps the fridge inside temps right? My brother said unplug it and leave the doors open and the cold garage air will keep it froze, well I have 15 dozen eggs in the fridge part and I dont want to loose them to freezing. Any tips?
Sorry for the off topic post, but I need to eat my own raised eggs so I can work on my tractors...lol thanks
You didn't say how cold your garage was, but if it is colder than you want the inside of the fridge, then yes it is a problem for you , but perfectly normal.
Example: Set a cardboard box on your bench in a 10 degree garage. Put your eggs & a thermometer in the box & seal it up. Few hours later, eggs are frozen, thermometer is reading 10, same as garage. Box is like your fridge, except it has no freon loop cooling system. What both need to keep eggs & thermometer at 40 in a 10 degree garage is heat, NOT more cooling! Refrigerators have cooling systems NOT heating systems (disregard auto defrost). Designed to keep their interior cooler than exterior surrounding temps not warmer than surroundings....the latter is your oven. There is no mechanical problem with your fridge, thermostat, or any other part of it.....it is working just as it was designed to work. Nothing complicated here.
