Paul, your indoor temperature is even colder than many of the interior spaces at McMurdo station, Antarctica. They aim for 65 F as a high (or lower). They do have a strict lights off when not needed policy.

Inspired by a few thoughts on another thread...

This is about using residential refrigerators in cold spaces, spaces that are colder than what is considered normal for a residential refrigerator to be used in.

It has been pointed out that at room temperatures below approximately 60 degrees the standatd electric home refrigerator is inefficient, may be damaged and may not even cool properly.

Does a propane or kerosene fueled refrigerator react the same? I've known about the problems with electric compressor driven home refrigeration for some time but have never been able to find information on the subject. And I've not felt like performing an experiment with my rather expensive propane refrigerators.
