A:Answer Hi there, MarkMacMaine. Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand that you're noticing some temperature fluctuations in your LT18S2100S refrigerator and freezer, with the fridge varying from 33°F to 38°F and the freezer between -20°F and 5°F, especially when the ambient temperature in the garage fluctuates between 45°F and 55°F.
Since your refrigerator is located in a garage with varying temperatures, it’s important to note that refrigerators, especially those with external temperature variations like garages, can sometimes experience temperature swings. This is because the Smart Inverter Compressor adjusts cooling efficiency depending on environmental conditions, which may cause slight fluctuations in temperature.
As a first step, we recommend adjusting the temperature settings on your refrigerator and freezer to ensure they are set to the ideal ranges. For optimal performance:
The fridge should be set at 37°F.
The freezer should be set at 0°F.
If the issue persists, we suggest checking the temperature controls and confirming that they are functioning properly. Additionally, it might be worth ensuring that the door seals are in good condition to prevent warm air from entering.
