To get the correct measurement of the temperature inside of the fridge, we suggest you place a thermometer inside a glass of water and leave this on the middle shelf for 12 hours or overnight. This will allow the appliance to cool the contents to the right temperature and provide you an accurate reading of what the temperature is like inside. Some models may have the temperature displayed externally on the door, this is the set temperature, not the actual temperature. If you ever have doubt, please follow the above suggestion for measuring.
