What happened to that fridge energy saving device.
When you open the door the thermostat detects the air temperature rising, and powers up to cool it. But items in the fridge take a lot longer to warm up, so you put this rubber block over the thermostat and only if that warms up does the fridge start cooling. It would save loads of energy caused by opening the door just to get something out.
