FWIW!

1. When a fridge has been running at a higher than normal temperature, it can take a day or two to cool down to its coldest.

2. I do use the battery powered fridge fan mentioned, as it does make a significant fridge temperature difference. When the batteries are depleted, and the fan stops, the fridge temp goes up about 4 to 5 degrees. I do have the fan placed on the 2nd shelf from the top. When I put new batteries in the fan, the fridge returns to the lower temps. On the "4" setting, the fridge temp ranges from 35/36 degrees to 38/39 degrees, depending on how often we are in the fridge, and how hot it is outside. Right now it is 84 degrees outside at 3:00PM - yes a cool day for Texas summer - and the fridge is on 36 degrees. Our fridge is the larger two door model (10 cu. ft.)

....................ie - get a fan, lol

3.When my thermister was replaced by a tech, I did have to move it high up on the fin to finally get the fridge temps down to where I thought they should be.

Good luck!!!
