French door refrigerators use a sophisticated cooling system to maintain optimal temperatures and keep food fresh. The system relies on a refrigerant cycle, where refrigerant absorbs and releases heat through compressor and evaporator coils. Fans circulate cold air evenly between the fridge and freezer compartments, while thermostats and sensors monitor and adjust temperatures for efficiency. The automatic defrost system prevents ice buildup, and features like humidity-controlled drawers and air filters help preserve produce and eliminate odors. Efficient door seals and LED lighting reduce energy consumption, making French door refrigerators both user-friendly and energy-efficient.

Placing a refrigerator in an unheated, uncooled garage can lead to several issues. In hot weather, the fridge works harder, increasing energy use and causing wear on the compressor. In cold temperatures, the fridge may stop running, leading to frozen fridge items and thawed freezer goods. Temperature fluctuations can create inconsistent cooling, while humidity may cause rust and electrical malfunctions. To minimize these problems, consider using a garage-ready fridge, improving insulation, cleaning condenser coils, and ensuring proper ventilation. Taking these steps will help your refrigerator run efficiently year-round.
