A method of controlling the temperature in cavities of a refrigerator () cooled by a refrigeration circuit having a compressor () and an evaporator () includes the steps of: monitoring the duty cycle of the compressor (); determining whether the duty cycle is below a threshold; determining whether the temperature of the evaporator () is above a threshold; and if the duty cycle is below the threshold and if the evaporator temperature is above a threshold, activating the refrigeration circuit to start cooling of at least one of the refrigerator cavities. A refrigeration appliance () with a controller that activates the refrigeration circuit based on the monitored duty cycle of the compressor () and the evaporator temperature is also provided.
