Thank you for your inquiry! Although the Insignia™ 14.2 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerator is rated for a minimum ambient temperature of 50°F, some users have reported using it in garages where temperatures drop below this threshold, even down to 40°F. Many users have found that the refrigerator continues to function adequately at lower temperatures, although performance can vary. Some have noted that the freezer compartment may not maintain optimal temperatures, potentially leading to partial thawing of frozen items. Operating the refrigerator in colder environments can sometimes lead to increased energy consumption as the unit works harder to maintain internal temperatures. Prolonged use in temperatures below the recommended range may impact the longevity of the appliance, with components such as the compressor potentially experiencing additional strain. If you decide to use the refrigerator in a garage with temperatures below 50°F, consider monitoring the internal temperatures regularly and ensuring that the door seals are in good condition to maintain efficiency.
