Measurement of 'contents' is correct method to test cooling temp (probe/thermometer in container of water)
Yes. This is what I did to establish the optimal position of the switch warm-cooler-cold. Thermometer in glass of water. Doesn't even have to be wireless - inertia of water will let you take measurements while opening the door.
But... Don asked "how long".
40F at the door means that it is few degrees cooler inside - where it matters more. And, while it is cooler inside, it also warms up faster there, because the rate of warming up is proportional to temperature differential btw cold items and warm ambient.
So... repeat the experiment with probe deeper inside.
