I wait until fall when 40 degree air is easier to find for the exchange.

We sometimes pump all the cold into a bucket and use it to cool beverages while at the beach. gotta remember to put it back though so the milk doesn't boil

I was having a kinda Cra&&y day until I read this.

What a hoot!

Here's another fridge post, maybe they should talk.
Fridge is not working on electric but works on gas did find one blown 20 amp ceramic fuse on the outside panel what else should I look for?

352 has some air - see if that's the problem

I have found that a couple of things affect the need and timing of changing air in the fridge. Please note that these things can affect the house type refrigerator as well.

1. Cold air works best for changing, but warm air WILL work. It is imperative, however, to keep the door closed longer if using warm air. The air cannot do it's job in a short amount of time unless it is 38 degrees or cooler.

2. Kids will change the air in a refrigerator many times a day, and without being asked. No one knows why this phenomenon occurs; kids rarely do anything without being asked or threatened, but they will change refrigerator air on their own. Note. Sometimes kids get so involved in air changing, they must be made to stop. You should watch for signs of children over changing the air.

3. Along the same lines, if air is changed to often in a non frost free refrigerator, it may become necessary to defrost it more often. This is especially true in humid climates when moist air is changed. If using dryer air, this may or may not become an issue.

3. Baking Soda keeps you from having to change the air quite as often, though after a certain number of air change cycles, the baking soda must be changed along with one of the air changes.

4. Air changing late at night can cause a person to become enlarged. It has been reported that many late night air changers appear to be overweight, but the jury is still out on that issue.

5. If for some reason, the air in your fridge is not changed often enough, go to the local store and purchase you husband or wife large quantities of beer. Store the beer in the refrigerator for a sufficient period of time to cool, and then tell your partner what you have done. Almost undoubtedly, the air will get changed many times during a given evening; enough that the air change cycles may not be counted against changing the baking soda (see #3).
