A:Answer In the fridge mode, we're having the same problem. With continuous fiddling, it seems to work better set to 38.. I saw it once today actually sitting at about 34, but it seems happiest sitting on 40. I would also prefer 35 for storage of lots of vegetables and fruits. This is like having any temperature you want as long as it's 40. These units are sold primarily as freezers where they over excel. The manuals fail to mention that the display figures are only requests of what you would like, not readouts of actual internal conditions. At least we were smart enough to buy the small round Home Depot themometers.
