| The first and only refrigerator I've ever bought new in 35+ years of

I have it at -2 & 36.  I do note that it is higher after a prolonged power
failure, leading me to believe that it is actually telling me the truth.

| jist knew (or faked it very well).

Mine did this as well.  Naturally I believed that there was something else
wrong and the clever controller was just displaying the only message it
had, but indeed when I vacuumed the coils it was happy.  Now I vacuum
slightly more often (but still only every year or so).  It's a nice machine,
thought for $5k+ it should be.
