For the second time in four months I had to have service on my new
refrigerator (under warranty). This is a low end Whirlpool with top
freezer. There is only one temperature control. The freezer was at
minus 30 degrees F while the refrigerator section was at 50 degrees.
The problem was ice build up in the freezer drainage area that blocked
the cold air from going to the lower section. The service man said
there was nothing wrong with the unit. I noticed that the temp control
was set a bit too low so after things were stabilized, the temp in the
lower section was 30. I think this might have caused the ice build up
so I reset it. What is the recommended temp for the refrigerator
section? 35? 38? 40?
