We spent $1000 on this fridge. The top two shelves in the refrigerator are laden with ice from the back of the fridge. Anything that is put in the back on these shelves freeze. Because the fridge is small (which of course we knew) we need that room that the ice is taking up, and we need to be able to put things at the back of the fridge, without concern of freezing.  We have also learned that if we turn it down the ice cream in the freezer is soft. There is not a separate temperature gauge for the freezer. This fridge does not just look like it is from the 50's, it works as though it is actually from the 50's.
