I have lived in happy ignorance of this problem. If the temperature

less electricity?

yes, but not enough to stop the contents of the freezer starting tothaw.


It does appear to be more of a problem for appliance with only one
thermostat. I will find out next week, I will be away from home but I
will know the temperature and the house power consumption.
