What's the best fridge thermometer for a fridge with hot top shelves and freezing bottom drawers?

Our answer

Use two fridge-safe probe or min/max thermometers and compare temperatures in both zones over a day. Keep probes away from vents and walls. If the warm shelf is above 4°C (40°F), move perishables to a working refrigerator while you investigate the temperature difference.
