How long should it take a 4 year old Kenmore frige to cool down to temperature?
We just picked up a refrigerator plugged it in about 12 hours ago. My niece turned the dials to the max cold settings. It doesn't seem to be cooling down. Should we turn the settings to the recommended settings? How long does it usually take for an empty frige to cool down?

First of all---I hope you didn't lay this thing on its side...That makes refrigerators very un -happy..If you did unplug it and allow the freon-oil to settle down for 24 hours....Put it to recommended settings and put a big pot of water in it so it has something to work on...If you hear it running-chances are its fine...A fridge with stuff in it will certainly run better---it needs stuff to retain the cold so if you are sure its working fill it up and leave it alone for awhile.

You should be feeling something by the end of 12 hours. Do the glass shelves feel cool? Everyone here is correct and they work and feel so much cooler with things inside. Put something in there. Go buy a thermometer. Is it making ice? Absolutely put the settings at the recommended ones. I don't know how many hours. My refrigerator got delivered, I loaded it up, the next day everything was really cold.

If you laid it down during transport it needs to be set upright for a period of time for the oil to settle. Unplug it and let it sit idle for a few hours then plug it in again and set to operating temperatures.

Whether you think that the earth is Billions of years historic or no longer will probably be a field of dialogue till we get the threat to invite God in heaven. While many biblical commentaries agree in a more youthful Earth the Hebrew translation of the phrase day "yo?m" will also be interpreted each actually or figuratively. Figuratively the greek phrase "yo?m" can imply an extended interval of time. In this example the which means is figurative which means an extended interval of time. Therefore it's viable that the earth might be billions of years historic, nevertheless without reference to the Earths age and God's similar the phrase "day" there's nonetheless the truth that God created the earth and that's on it adding uniquely growing each and every one in all us and evolution isn't side of the equation.
