If the refigerator or freezer is empty, it is best to shut it off and prop the door open to prevent mold. If the refrigerator or freezer is full, it is best to leave it running at a normal setting. It will use very little electricity if left closed.

Does a refrigerator work better in a hot or cold room?
It works better in a hot room. I am remodeling and the fridge down stairs is not in a heated room and it is winter now so it is kept at about 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit ambient temperature. It does not freeze the products in the freezer. When I leave the upstairs fridge room unheated it does the same. The only thing I could think of is that the coolant has to be in a warmer ambient temperature for the coolant liquid to boil and vaporize giving you the -27 degrees in your freezer.
