Refrigerator - Temperature Controls Snowflake or Cold-Colder-Coldest

Some Refrigerator controls have a Snowflake symbol and a line that narrows as it curves around the control. Moving the dial or control to the Snowflake symbol makes the appliance COLDER.

• When adjusting the temperature control, clockwise is colder and counter-clockwise is warmer.

Control Settings and Temperature Equivalents

The general temperature equivalents for the settings on Refrigerator models with a Snowflake or "Cold - Colder - Coldest" on the control are as follows:

• At the Coldest setting the temperature is approximately 34 degrees Fahrenheit in the Fresh Food section and -5 degrees Fahrenheit in the Freezer section.
• At the Colder setting the temperature is approximately 37 degrees Fahrenheit in the Fresh Food section and 0 degrees Fahrenheit in the Freezer section.
• At the Cold setting the temperature is approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit in the Fresh Food section and 5 degrees Fahrenheit in the Freezer section.

Please Note: These are general temperature equivalents and some variation will occur. Factors such as door openings, food load and room temperature affect the temperature inside the Refrigerator.
