That's what my thought has been.  So, does the large mass really keep interior temps from fluctuating, or is that a myth?  Many people talk about it but, as yet, I've not come across anything definitive, such as a test done by a reputable organization or individual.  Personally, I believe it to be true, but have yet to see something that proves it.

 

The cumulative refrigerator on/off time, it makes not much difference by the quantity of food inside the refrigerator.

The heat gain/loss is only determined by the R factor  of insulation, which cannot be changed by food inside.

The compressor will be on/off exactly the same.
