    My home refrigerator freezer temps vary throughout the day, I assumed it was part of the defrost cycle.
    Today's high & lows:
    Kitchen Frig -3.8 to +21.9
    Garage Frig -10.8 to +34.7

    Just an FYI for those that have had or may have problems in the future with their Samsung fridge- you can do a system reset by holding down the power freeze and power cool buttons together for approximately 5-6 seconds. The fridge will flash the digital readout, beep twice and then reboot. 3rd yr on our Samsung fridge and zero complaints. I also cant imagine going back to the RV style absorption fridge.

    Thanks Ryan. Great info.

    We have a new 2018 374TH-R . After 1 outing so far, we are loving the Samsung residential refrigerator.

    We had a bad inverter right from the dealer. Grand Design sent me a new one and I've installed it. It's working now,but the only thing that is powered bythe inverter is the refrigerator.
    Has anyone altered the wiring to get a few more outlets powered up? KEN

    Wow! Your garage fridge sure has a large swing in temps! I don't feel so bad about my Samsung residential fridge now!

    I had a thermometer in my frost-free garage freezer for 24 hours and the temperature ranged from +2 to -7. It cycled every 80 minutes like clock work and the high and low temps were always the same. I had it set for -5. I know the design for fridge/freezer combos is different and that may be why the temp swings are larger in the freezer section of those units.

    UPDATE: I just checked the freezer in our house and it holds temps very accurately. I have it set for 0 degrees and it cycles from +1 to -2 every 20 minutes.

    Hello,
    The way my Maytag works is by a 4" fan that pushes air from the freezer to the fridge. Depending how full your freezer is the cold air volume could quickly be depleted causing a temperature swing as the new air comes into the freezer. BTW if the fan goes out (usually a few weeks after the warranty is up) everything in the fridge goes bad (first hand experience) but the freezer section is kept very cold. Replace the plastic fan with a metal one and 10 years later it's still running.

    Regards,
    Kevin
