Roy B,
I think you ought to be able to fiddle with the fridge controls and raise the temp inside the fridge box by a couple of degrees. 28f seems a bit on the cool side.
For the "fridge gawkers", an alarm when the door is open might keep them from leaving the door open. The seatbelt alarm in my Ford truck would be a good choice. That one is very irritating, lol.
I can raise the temp if I wanted to, but I don't see the point. At 28 degrees it's right between fridge/freezer temp. It keeps everything nice and cold and nothing really freezes at that temp. Then when you open the door and loose all the cold air you don't need to worry as much while it recovers. I would say that's about as cold as I would keep it before moving it up a notch.
There is a door alarm, but it doesn't work if the fridge light isn't on...so the door can be cracked a little and never go off. No alarm/light on the freezer door.
