refridgerator settings question

there is a switch on my fridge that has the choices of reduce exterior moisture or energy saver. what do these mean? would reduce exterior moisture be a colder setting than energy saver,or would these choices have anything to do at all with how cold the fridge is?

Have you tried looking online and see if there's a manual (in PDF) for it?

My old fridge had one of those switches and it didn't have any affect on the
interior temperature.

Of course my old fridge keep foods at an even room temperature.

My new one doesn't have that energy saver switch.

The switch activates some heating elements around the edge of the fridge doors that keeps down exterior moisture in humid conditions. With the switch in the "reduce moisture" setting, it will use more electricity.

See bradshaw6243 above. Keep the switch on energy saver constantly.
