Why didn\'t the fridge warm at all? It has much greater wall area per
volume, and more door seals. The bottom freezer is close to a cube.

A week or two back, the power was out for about 4 hours. The 42\"
built-in is set to 0F freezer and 37F refrigerator, and when the
power came back, the freezer temp had risen to 16F and the fridge
was STILL 37F!
Here\'s what I think about that - as long as the freezer remains
well below 32F, AI directs a fan to send some freezer air over to
the fridge side.
This machine actually has dual independent cooling systems,
freezer and fridge, and if either were to fail, I suspect AI would
use the remaining system to manage both sections.
How\'s your ol\' Kelvinator doing?
And how does your AI power the fans when the power is out???

Learn some basic physics. The freezer is subjected to a much larger
temp differential than the fresh food compartment- roughly 70o
versus 33o, so the heat loss will be twice that of the fresh food.
Fresh food compartment was being cooled by air convection
circulating through the freezer and doesn\'t require any power.
