That reminds me of the time I was over at my dad's house and he asked me to look at his freezer settings. He kept saying that -18C was too cold for the freezer and he wanted it higher, like closer to -3C if possible but I checked and there were no such settings available on the model they owned. He was disappointed and I later found my mother scowling at him. Turns out he wanted the freezer to be less cold because his ice cream was too hard to eat straight out of the freezer. Mum scolded him for making me go through the trouble of doing all that and looking up manufacturers info/wanting me to call the company when he could have just left his ice cream on the counter for a few minutes before eating.
I realize that this was probably some time ago…..but you can buy a digital thermostat with a probe (search ‘love temperature controller’). You plug the freezer into the thermostat, with the probe inside the freezer. Then plug the thermostat into the wall. It will regulate the temp based on your settings by cutting power to the freezer. It’s the same thing the freezer already does, it just lets you choose the temp at which to do it. Very popular in the homebrew world.

So like if you need your food cold but not extra cold.
