Detailed explanation-1: -To ensure that your refrigerator is doing its job, it’s important to keep its temperature at 40 °F or below; the freezer should be at 0 °F.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperatures below 33°F may freeze foods while temperatures above 40°F may lead to food spoilage. The typical factory setting for Whirlpool® refrigerators is the recommended 37°F (3°C), but temperatures on all refrigerators may need to be set higher or lower depending on your fridge’s environment and other factors.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ideal refrigerator temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These temperatures inhibit the growth of microorganisms that can cause foodborne illnesses, such as salmonella, listeria, and E. coli.

Detailed explanation-4: -What Temperature Should a Refrigerator Be? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that you keep your refrigerator temperature at or below 40°F and your freezer temperature at or below 0°F. However, the ideal refrigerator temperature is actually lower. Aim to stay between 35° and 38°F (or 1.7 to 3.3°C).

Detailed explanation-5: -The recommended temperature for your refrigerator ranges from 35 degrees to 38 degrees. Try to keep it stocked well with food, because-believe it or not-a fully stocked fridge holds its temperature better than one with a couple condiment bottles in the door.
