I have found that the warmer the fridge section is, from leaving the door open and putting stuff in that is warm, and if the freezer is at 0-15 the fridge will be in cooling mode for the fridge section. Since the thermocouple is located on the fins in the fridge section.
As the fridge section cools the freezer section cools even further. Slow though.
I always have a bag of Ice that I keep in there for mass...If we are really loaded in the freezer section then I will remove it.
Fact or fiction, I do know this works for me..
I record my fridge temp 2 times a day while on the road and camping etc.
I have these in my home and camper. They work great. They record the lowest the fridge has been since the last time you have reset it. So I can see what the current temp is and where it was since I reset it in the morning after recording.

I suggest you reset this brand of refrigerator monitor often. It does not give any indication that it has "hung" and is no longer updating the receiver. I returned one to the manufacturer & the replacement has the same problem. After 3-4 days, one of the channels stops updating. A reset fixes it, but only for a couple of days.
