Question
I have a General brand refrigerator with 4 doors, a bottom freezer, and an inverter. What are the options for Shabbat?
Answer
Hello,
As you mentioned in the title, the real solution is a Shabbat device.
If you don't have one at the moment, you can temporarily use a timer to turn off the refrigerator during the hours you need to take things in and out.
You can also open the refrigerator and place a towel to prevent the door from closing. [This is not good for the refrigerator at all, and therefore not recommended].
