Since warm air rises, it would seem that the bottom would
be coldest, but I have
heard that the top shelf is colder, but I don't know why
that would be.
Does anyone know for sure, and why?

Thanks, Bob-tx

When compressor is running, top is usually coldest. Bottom warmest. Just the
opposite during times compressor is not running and warm air rises to the
top.


Simple enough to check- buy a pair of accurate thermometers, and put one
on the top shelf and one on the bottom. Get a notepad, and every time
you wander by, log the temps, and if you can hear it running.
