The problem is what if this setup is in an environment when its 40F to 30F? Well the fridge doesn't heat up very much and doesn't call for a cooling cycle very often, and in turn the freezer starts to warm up since it doesn't have its own thermostat and control. So the fridge will be at 35 or 40F inside, but the freezer will start to get closer to 25-30F which is bad for most frozen things. Typically you'll notice in ice cream or freeze pop which need to be closer to 0-5F for a good freeze.
If a unit has dual compressors and cooling systems, it's a non problem. But for units that only have 1, it can be an issue in the garage during the winter.
Personal experience in sales, GE, Frigidaire and Samsung aren't great. Lots of issues. Whirlpool tends to last longer with less issues, but don't forget to clean out your coils. If you have lots of pets, especially with wood floors and if you don't constantly clean them, I recommend every 6 months. If you don't see much hair or dust, you can reduce the frequency. If you've never cleaned it, it is probably time. I used my leaf blower on my landlord's fridge, probably the first time ever after decades, there was a ton of dust on everything. If you can, push it to your back door and blow it out, or use a vacuum and long brush. It still won't be perfect, but will hopefully help.

What happens at 40F?
Why when the frig does it? I have two ✌ ice makers in my frig.
Implodes into itself like a neutron star.
This is loud and I have had to power cycle it a few times when the ice maker stopped working. Also, the ice maker gets clogged all the time and I have to empty it out, melt the clog, then let it fill back up again. And the way the water dispenser is setup, just... sucks!
But if this is like the one with water and ice, I would not get it just because it gets loud when the compressor(?) kicks on.

What he is referring to is an issue with you have an older style fridge like a top/bottom classic style. The thermostat is in the fridge and the cooling is in the freezer and it blows some of the cooler air below to satisfy the fridge thermostat. This keeps the freezer much much colder than the fridge.

The cubes melt too fast.
What 10% off?
I like a dummy got a another Whirlpool 400 dollar dishwasher with a 15x to 1 AMEX points conversion in 2018 for a 200 dollar dishwasher.
That just broke 2 months ago after again 4.5 years.
Whirlpool and Maytag is complete trash. I don't even know if I would trust a top freezer from them.
I would never buy a new fridge for a garage. I just got one for free off Facebook market place. It was an older Kenmore, freezer on top. It was moldy, but cleaned it up, and it works like a champ!
I have another in my basement I got for $25 ten years ago. Just had move it out myself from a split entry town home. Still going strong 10 years later!
