Condensation mitigation method for a refrigerator appliance

A refrigerator appliance defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction, comprising:

• a cabinet defining a chilled chamber;
• a sealed system for regulating a chamber temperature within the chilled chamber;
• an ambient humidity sensor;
• and
• a controller in operative communication with the sealed system and the ambient humidity sensor, the controller being configured to:
• operate the sealed system to regulate the chamber temperature to a standard operating temperature;
• obtain an ambient humidity using the ambient humidity sensor;
• determine, based on the ambient humidity, that maintaining the chilled chamber at the standard operating temperature will produce sweat on an outer surface of the refrigerator appliance;
• determine a target temperature higher than the standard operating temperature that prevents the sweat from being produced on the outer surface of the refrigerator appliance;
• and
• operate the sealed system to regulate the chamber temperature to the target temperature.
