Your thought process is OK. The reason you put frozen items in and chilled items in is to NOT make the refer work longer and harder to keep things cold. BOTH the freezer and lower chill at the SAME time. It is just the freezer will get to below 10 degrees faster than the lower section, because that is the FIRST coldest section of the cooling unit. Remember, COLD is the absence of HEAT. The refer removes HEAT from the items, hence cold items result. Doug
Is there a sequence to that? Say your lower fridge gets to proper cool and you put warm stuff in the freezer. Will that warm up the lower fridge part, or have no effect on that, but just make work for the freezer part?
RV Ammonia units, the tstat ONLY controls the lower section. That added freezer warm items will not cause the Lower section to warm up. It will warm the freezer and the freezer will slowly remove the heat from the added items and then get to 10 degrees or lower. Doug
