- Are you trying to tell me that my _freezer_ in the garage only runs when the
- room(garage)-temperature is above a certain temperature instead of when the
- temperature inside the freezer falls below a certain temperature? Or is this
- only true of refrigerators and not freezers? Should this be a problem for me
- living in northern Alabama?
