Wow. I had to search this to be sure you weren't kidding:
> In ‘single circuit appliances’ and appliances with a 4-star freezer compartment, temperatures are usually regulated according to refrigeration compartment temperature. When ambient temperatures fall, an issue arises because the refrigeration compartment will not need to be cooled as regularly and this means that the associated 4-star freezer compartment can then become too warm. In such cases, the refrigeration compartment is artificially heated by a light bulb or an electrical heater to force the refrigerator to cool down more frequently and thus keep the 4-star freezer compartment sufficiently cool.

- carapace 7y agoOh my, you've found some other heater! The ones I was talking about are in the rim gasket thingy that seals the door when it's closed. Some refrigerators have heating elements in there to keep the gasket (or whatever you call it) from sticking to the frame when opening the door, IIRC.
