Abstract

A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet defining a chilled chamber, a sealed system for regulating a chamber temperature within the chilled chamber, and an ambient humidity sensor. A controller is 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.
