I went back today and found that the fridge had been unplugged. I was willing to bet that this would happen.
I felt inside the fresh food section and there was moisture on the coil and the drain trough, and took a temperature reading of +46. That was ten degrees cooler than it was two days ago.
I plugged the fridge back in and waited about 15 minutes. Once again, the freezer coil cooled quickly down to -26 and there was a layer of frost on the integrated flat surface atop of the basket assembly that covers the coil.
I hung around for over half an hour and the fridge coil remained at +46.
Then I took a better look behind the fridge and measured overall depth. It requires way more rear clearance than the average fridge with a passive rear-mount condenser. It would be way too deep for my space. I decided that this fridge was not for me.
I guess this means that maybe one of these days I'll end up with a counter depth, forced draft GE Combo that has swing-out shelves after all. There sure are/were a lot more of those kicking around than Coldspot Supermarts.
I wish I had better news. The Supermarts were very well built, and like Hans said, they're virtually silent when running.
