My new LG fridge freezer has a dial which reads "C . . . N . . . W", which I assume is cold to normal to warm. But on both ends I can turn it a long way past the C or the W to an area just labelled "no using in this range". WTF is all that about? Why have a dial which I can turn to where I shouldn't? The manual says only "other positions will affect the storage of food".

Achieving an AAA++++ energy rating, perhaps?
As I already said, the manual simply says "other positions will affect the storage of food". Why don't you read posts before replying?
Can't be bothered. It should be in the manual.
I've found that dials on fridges and freezers seem to have a strangely large hysteresis compared to the range of the dial, and I've never found one that I can make go on and off. May also be a limiter to stop the compressor starting and stopping too frequently, as they don't like that.
No, it actually says "don't go past this point" on the dial, as I already told you.
But why allow me to turn the dial further than I should?

Pillock scrounged a shagged refrigerator.
Those "other positions" will make the unit run more reliably, depriving repair people of the chance to overcharge you :-)
