Does filling the fridge or freezer actually help retain cold temperatures?
Yes, keeping the freezer full helps it retain the cold and keeps food frozen long in case there is a power out.
Group foods together putting raw meats on the bottom, cooked meats above that, fruits and veggies next and breads and other baked goods that can't drip and contaminate foods on the top.
Freeze ice, flour, rice, dry beans, dry pasta or other freezable pantry items to fill any extra space in the freezer. If the freezer is empty only thing in there will be air. So energy will be spent to cool the air which being a bad conductor will take lot of power. And then when someone opens the freezer cool air from inside mixes with hot air outside effectively raising the temperature in the freezer. The freezer has to work again to cool this hot air back to the earlier levels. So filling up the empty space in freezer with stuff (preferably but not necessarily food stuff)
How does an Ice Maker switch between crushed and cubed ice?
Depending on which way the mechanical switch is positioned, the ice either travels directly out the chute (cubed) or through an auger which crushes the ice before dispensing it.
Is the air inside a refrigerator typically less humid than the air the refrigerator?
I assume your question should end with "than the air outside the refrigerator". If so then the answer is yes. Most of the humidity in the air inside the fridge (and freezer) will condense onto the cold surfaces. As new air is introduced, either by opening and closing the door, or leaving the door ajar, or thru a leaky door seal, more moisture condenses, these are some reason why a freezer will ice up quickly.

What size of inverter do you need to run a mini refrigerator or a typical bar refrigerator?
for modified sine wave inverter (most common type, if it doesn't say than it's modified sine) a safe bet would be the 1,000 watt inverters or higher because the mini fridge will surge 3-5 times its continuous rated wattage for anywhere from 1-10 seconds. so although your fridge only needs 90-150 watts to run it might burn out an inverter say in the 150-300 watt range. a modified sine wave 1,000 watt inverter is about $65-100. you are supposed to buy pure sine wave inverters for a fridge, but those are expensive. you do run the risk of ruining the fridge faster if you do not run pure sine wave , however.

What is the fastest way to cool soda?
The fastest way to cool soda is to place it in a container filled with ice water and salt. The salt lowers the freezing point of the water, allowing the soda to cool more quickly. Alternatively, you can also place the soda in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes, but be careful not to leave it in for too long to avoid it freezing and exploding.
How do you repair an amana refrigerator door that doesn't seal when shut?
Check the alignment of the hinges a heavy door or a sudden impact can knock them, out of alignment. The half of the hinge on the refrigerator side should be adjustable so loosen the bolts and have an assistant hold the door squarely against the unit and tighten the bolts.
Also the seal may be bad, this is available at an appliance parts store or online, just google appliance parts warehouse, the seal is held on with adhesive.
Where does the energy come from which makes the pipes at the back of a fridge warm?
The energy comes from the heat taken from the heat/energy inside of the refrigerator/fridge. A fridge takes heat energy from inside the fridge and dumps it outside the fridge into the the pipes on the back of the fridge and into the room.
The electromagnetic fields from the fridge should not have any significant effect on the clothes inside the wardrobe. The fields generated by a typical household fridge are not strong enough to impact clothing or other items in a nearby wardrobe.
Frigidaire 2 door fridge water leak?
Generally in most cases it would be a blocked drain.
When a fridge goes into the defrost cycle the water defrosts and goes down the drain and into the evaporator.
When there is a blockage it overflows and runs out the bottom of your fridge.
Look at the back of the fridge, and you should find a small hole. In some fridges you may need to unscrew a few bits of plastic etc but in most fridges it is visible.
Once you have found this small hole, unblock it with some wire, pour some hot water down it, or any other method you can think of to unblock it.
Would opening the refrigerator cool a room in a house?
If you opened the refrigerator door a person can cool themselves off. It would not be energy efficient though to try to cool an entire room or house through use of a refrigerator. A refrigerator would not be capable of cooling that large of an area.
How does a refrigerator affect society?
They were, after electricity, the finest thing that had ever happened on earth since flush toilets and running water. Food preservation took a giant leap forward, and the ice man had to find a new job. People could extend the shelf life of so many things and leftovers became the name of the game, When they were able to produce ice cubes in a mere 12 hours, they had reached a new plateau of inventive genius. For the American woman, washing machines and telephones may hold higher positions since they aided in the relief of a major drudgery away from the washboard and the isolation they often had to endure. For a kid, having a fridge was great.
Can you use a mini fridge and a window air conditioner on the same circuit?
You shouldn't have a problem, unless the fuse is too small.
The good news is, if you would happen to pull too much power, it should just blow the fuse, which isn't a big deal.
