Another often overlooked factor is the amount of food stored. A fridge that’s too empty wastes more energy because it has to produce more cold to compensate for the empty space. Conversely, an overfilled fridge prevents proper air circulation, forcing the motor to run continuously.
Good to know: If your fridge is not very full, lower the temperature slightly to avoid unnecessary consumption. However, if you’ve just done a big grocery shop, temporarily increase the temperature to stabilize the temperature of the new food.
