I have a new 82l Evakool fiberglass fridge freezer that has a digital control for the freezer section.

We are having some difficulty cooling down the fridge section..

For those that have a similar, what temp do you set the freezer at such that you have sufficient cold in the fridge ?


Thanks

For every situation you have 3 choices. Live with it, change it, or leave it. But only pick one

Have you tried spacers under the divider to it up a bit?

I cut out a 4 inch strip of the seal from the bottom of the divider and keep a temperature sensor in the fridge half. As long as it's cold enough, I know the stuff in the freezer half is going to stay frozen.

We went to all fridge and I have a sensor in each compartment.  -8 setting on the fridge allows for about 2 in the main fridge area and 0 to -2 in the freezer part.  I don't really use the freezer as such but it keeps cryovac meat etc for weeks.  We found that raising the divider froze things in the main fridge.  I hasten to add we are still experimenting with the best options.

On another note we were very happy with power draw.
