  • Try a better explanation. What you wrote is indiscernible, basically gibberish. 

  • also depending ont he type of fridge, if it has the sensor attached to the fins inside the fridge you can move it lower this will make the system cool a little less.  

  • When it gets colder in the room than the reefer is set to then they are only coolers so if it is that cold in the unit just open the doors. If, however, you do need it as a reefer, the answer is above. Heat the area they are in so they have to cool. A lot of laws in this world are changing but so far the laws of physics are holding steady. One of them is that if it is already cold it does not need anything to cool it. Nature's reefer is taking care of it.
