Yes it does, I keep bottled water and cans of soda in mine in my unheated garage when the temp drops below freezing in the garage and it works for me. I am sure that if it was for a long cold spell it would eventually freeze.

Does freezing and refrigerating food stop or prevent decay?
I think a refrigerator, slows down the process of food rotting as the microorganisms take more time to cause chemical reactions in cold weather.
Why is the fridge freezing food at the bottom?
The refrigerator temperature control(s) is set to high. The refrigerator may have one or two controls.If it has only one control, it is used for the freezing(freezer) compartment andthe refrigerated(non-freezing) compartment as well. Simply lower the dial until the lower refrigerator stops freezing food but not so low that the freezer(upper) compartment stops freezing.If it has two controls, they should be labeled. One is for the upper(freezer)compartment and the other is for the lower(Non freezing/refrigerator) compartment. Turn down only the control for the lower(refrigerator)compartment until the food stops freezing.
Will food freeze at 30 degrees in a fridge?
that would be a NO! The freezing point of water is 0 degrees centigrade or 32 degree farhneit .Hence food will freeze only in a freezer as it maintains a temperature below freezing point of water, and not in a refrigerator because the refrigerator maintains a temperature that is few degrees above the freezing point.(3-5 degree celsius or 37 to 41 degree farhneit)
How cold is the refrigerator section of a refrigerator compared to the freezer?
This depends on your preference. A refrigerator can be set to 35-50 degrees but around 37-40 should be an ideal temperature. It will limit the spreading of bacteria but not freeze your food. A freezer should be below freezing which is 32 degrees.
What is the correct temperature for a household refrigerator?
The ideal refrigerator temperature range is 1°-4.5°C (34°-40°F) . Bacterial and mold growth are considerably slowed down at these temperatures, thus retarding food spoilage. Since water freezes at 0°C (32°F), this prevents fresh foods from freezing, although when the temperature is at the low end of the range, some areas in the refrigerator may be below the freezing point.

How do I prevent my Samsung refrigerator from freezing my food?
I have had this problem with a refrigerator before. The best thing to do is turn the refrigerator to its lowest setting and do not place any items on the top shelf near the air unit. Unfortunately, the problem cannot be fixed and your refrigerator will need replacement.
What temperature should a refrigerator be maintained at?
The ideal refrigerator temperature range is 1°-4.5°C (34°-40°F) . Bacterial and mold growth are considerably slowed down at these temperatures, thus retarding food spoilage. Since water freezes at 0°C (32°F), this prevents fresh foods from freezing, although when the temperature is at the low end of the range, some areas in the refrigerator may be below the freezing point.
Will I have to worry about food freezing in the lower refrigerator area of the the Amana Easy Reach bottom freezer?
Not unless you have the fridge turned down to cold.
Why is it that a tub of water placed in a farmers canning cellar helps prevent canned food from freezing in cold winters?
Ice is a good insulator - it does not conduct thermal energy well. A layer of ice can (rather counter intuitively) keep a cellar warmer than the cold winter outside, if the winter weather is well below the freezing point. This is the same principle that keeps rivers and lakes from freezing all the way through in winter weather.
At what point does everything freeze?

What temp should a frigerator be set at?
