[Request] What would be the total impact if Americans maintained the optimal temperature in their refrigerators? theydidthemath


As Adam Carolla recently pointed out on his podcast, no one knows what the temp in their fridge should be. If it's too warm, the food spoils faster. If it's too cold, the energy is wasted. For an appliance that it so taken for granted and runs literally all the time without exception, it's weird we don't know more about it. Fridges frequently have features that adjust the temperature via buttons/dials, but they rarely show the actual temperature (C/F).


Is there a way to ballpark at what temp people's fridges are and whether it would make a material impact to raise/lower it a few degrees?
