Door Gasket: if washed often with soapy water, will usually last as long as the refrigerator. Check to see if it is sealing well by closing a dollar bill in the door. If you feel a resistance when you pull it out, the gasket is holding. Repeat the test in several places. If your gasket does not pass this test, it should be replaced.   [guest]

Temperature settings for refrigerator and freezer compartments are given arbitrary numbers for example (1 through 9, warmest to coldest) by manufacturers, but generally 37 degrees F is ideal for the refrigerator compartment and 0 degrees F for the freezer. If you suspect a problem, test the temperatures with a refrigerator or outdoor thermometer.   [guest]

Freezing food: To store perishable foods, they need to be 'deep-frozen', meaning, frozen hard as a rock. It slows microbes and enzymes down to a dormant state, and the food won't decompose.   kellyjones00 (593)

Freezers: Bar refrigerators are not intended for deep-freezing, as the freezer section is at the top of the frig. Turning the thermostat to 'coldest' will freeze a few items rock-hard, but not all. Also, the rest of the food stored in the refrigerator will be half-frozen or get freezer-burn.   kellyjones00 (593)
