Refrigerated appliance with automatically adjustable setpoint

A method of using a refrigerated appliance, the method comprising:

• regulating a temperature of a first insulated enclosure of a first refrigerated portion of the appliance within a first predetermined temperature range, the appliance comprising the refrigerated portion and a second refrigerated portion positioned below the first refrigerated portion;
• moving a closure device of the first refrigerated portion from an open position to a closed position, the closure device configured to selectively cover and limit leakage of air from an ambient environment to and from the first insulated enclosure of the first refrigerated portion;
• and
• adjusting a predetermined temperature range of the first insulated enclosure by the predetermined offset value based on a sensor signaling that the closure device is in the closed position.

A cabinet for a refrigerated appliance comprising:

• a first refrigerated portion defining a first insulated enclosure, the first refrigerated portion comprising a closure device configured to selectively cover and limit leakage of air from an ambient environment to and from the first insulated enclosure;
• a first sensor configured to measure a temperature of air within the first insulated enclosure;
• a second sensor configured to signal whether the closure device of the first refrigerated portion is in a first position or a second position;
• and
• at least one controller configured to control, at least in part, the temperature of the air within the first insulated enclosure and measured by the first sensor within a predetermined temperature range, the at least one controller configured to adjust the predetermined temperature range based on an input from the second sensor.
