Yes it’s normal. The air-head environmentalists whimped down the
refrigerators to use less electricity and this is what we got for it.
It doesn’t effect the rich and famous because they had walk in
refrigerators built next to their kitchens.


No its not "normal" its should in the frige section.- Hide quoted text -

1. What is the year that your refrigerator was manufactured in if you
don’t mind my asking?
2. How often do you open your refrigerator door?
3. What is the ambient temperature of your home at the time that you
find that your “frige section” is “cool to near 35”?
When I was very young (before 1990) you could open the refrigerator
door a hundred times a day and the milk was still ice cold even when
it was sweltering outside. The refrigerators are no longer like that.
Something changed. Can you please tell me what that is?- Hide quoted text -

Units are 06-07 -08 and im refering to 16 friges tenants are happy,
new friges just take longer to cool , but they cool fine
