My small refrigerator in my computer room seems to be sympathetic to the outside temperature, regardless of what the inside temperature is. We have kept the thermostat set at the same temperature inside, and the computer room tends to be warmer than the rest of the house, but if it gets cold or freezes outside, my little refrigerator decides it is going to freeze all of the drinks on the top half of the fridge. And when it warms up outside, the fridge goes back to normal. How that would be connected is beyond me.
