This is helpful! I was not worried about going below 2C with door opening, only if the inventory began at 7C (just prior a compressor activation) then it would be relatively easy to get to 9C while the door is open. If by liberalizing the average temp to be "4C or 5C" instead of "5C" we get a cheaper ...

Just more thoughts out to the group (and I am fishing for knowledge from the manufacturers...) When a refrigerator is billed as being set at 5C +/-2C, does that means the compressor may turn on at 7C and pull the unit down to 3C and then allow it to drift back up to 7C before turning back on, for an ...
