Okay, I'm measuring the temp of water glasses placed at various points in the fridge. I'll do my best to calibrate my meat thermometer in ice water.

If I'm not getting the desired 33-34F on the lower shelf, I will have to figure out how to adjust the thermostat. It is already turned to "coldest". It is a mechanical thermostat, with screw adjustments for the cut-in and cut-out temps.

Then I will see about the noise . . . although I'm already getting used to it, it will discourage guests from hanging out in the kitchen. Which is a good thing.
