A:Answer Hi Juergen - It is not recommended that refrigerators be used in unheated locations, such as garages, porches, or unheated rooms during periods when the temperature is likely to fall below 60 degrees Fahrenheit or exceed 110 degrees Fahrenheit. At 32 degrees, there is no cooling capability at all.
