No kidding. It reads the temperature of the air, and this is changing quickly when you open the door, especially in freezer and/or if placed near the door. Expect 2F-3F error . When you close the door again, it restores quickly to the set up temperature, because the air takes very little energy to cool. Digital thermometers are more accurate because they measure with the door closed, and you can place it where you think the readings are most representative, no matter how deep inside this spot is.
