The lock would do it but if the freezer is exposed to very low outside temps, the adhesive on the attachment may fail. It's not supposed to be under 60 degree F.

With ours, any setting below 46 degrees will cause anything in the back half to freeze -- water, tea, diet drinks (with the exception would be regular soda). This probably doesn't help you if you've already bought the thing! Seems like a finicky refrigerator in general with settings, and needs to have air circulating inside it to allow the interior to be cooled equally. I would guess just from our experience that even if it's set to 37, it's much cooler toward the back than that. Good luck!

Our house ranges from 70-90 in the summer. Our refrigerator has worked like a champ. We only keep beverages in it, but they are always cold.

I'm using mine on a patio as a slide in under an outdoor kitchen cabinet. Make sure you have about 4 inches around for air flow. This unit has the condenser built in the left and right sides and dissipats the heat unlike a fan blowing air across the condenser on your home frig. What I did do is take the 1/2 inch shipping foam that was in the box and duct tape it to the back and top to help insulate the box a little. Just dont cover any part of the outside that feels warm after it's plugged in. Here is something I want to warn you about but is no big deal. When the box is cold and say you go to get a drink out of it. After you close the door it forms a tight vacuum and makes the door almost impossible to open unless you wait 3 or 4 min. I do HVAC repair and have have seen this same thing happen on walk-in coolers trapping people. You need to make a way for the vacuum to be relieved. What I did was take a 2 inch piece of thermostat wire (this wire is about 1/2 the size of a cloths hanger) tapped it the top and bent it over to go between the refrigerator box and the door gasket. This little wire will allow the vacuum inside to equalize and you can open the door within 15 to 20 seconds and it wont bother the temperature. Buy the way this frig can freeze a bottle of pop if you set it to cold. My control is setting around 5 O'clock and running around 32 degrees. I leave it outside but unplug it in the winter. Good Luck

No, it is a refrigerator. It doesn't get much cooler than 36 degrees Fahrenheit.

I have my CoolBot set up in a 4x6 walk-in cooler with the smallest air conditioner available. It has no trouble keeping the temp below 38*. I am very impressed and pleased with the CoolBot.

Hi Bruce. We use our cool bot to keep an 8 x 10 cooler at 38 degrees F. I would post this question directly to Cool Bot. Kat

I believe it's a compressor and there is a fan that circulates the cold air. Gets beer FREEZING COLD!! Set to 30 degrees and it keeps it just above freezing!

I bought this refrigerator in May 2013, and had it installed shortly after that. It has been exposed to the high summer heat, lots of rain, potential tornadoes. No problems. I set the thermostat at 38 degrees and have no problems. The only complaint is the lack of handle. I am installing a handle.

the temp control is on upper left. The cooler is fairly quit. I use a cheap refrigerator thermometer to check the temp. It never varies around 59 degrees.

Oh, haha I destroyed my fridge already lol. Just buy any power supply, and splice the adaptor which connects to the fridge to it. Remember to practice safe soldering, keeping sure to insulate all internal components of the wires with shrink tubing. Use a power supply rated at US 120AC in and 12v 5A out. It should fix our problem

It cools to 30 to 40 degrees below ambient temperature. I don't know of any of this style of cooler that has temp controls.

Yes, setting "1" is the warmest, and "5" is the coldest. I keep ours at about 3, and it does not freeze items in the refrigerator. There is a film of ice in the freezer compartment.

To maintain the proper temperature setting in your freezer you need a freezer thermometer. They are cheap and available in almost any kitchenware department. You can then choose whatever freezer setting that keeps the already frozen food at 0 degrees. If you are freezing any quantity of food you should bring your freezer temp to at least -10 degrees. Once your food is completely frozen you can reduce your setting to maintain the 0 degree temperature. Check your thermometer and set your freezer temperature setting accordingly. The fuller your freezer, the better it will hold the temperature and run more economically.

The refrigerator will get to below 46 for sure. In fact, things left in contact with some parts of the the back wall of the refrigerator part (e.g. milk) can form ice. The freezer will freeze ice solid, but I don't know if it is 5 degrees. We were looking for a unit that did not stick out too far from the wall to fit a space we had and this unit was shallower than most. Overall, we are satisfied with the unit for the size and the price.

Unfortunately there is not way to control de temperature. Basically if you want to keep something frozen, fil the cooler with ice cubes.
