Mehadrin Command Refrigerator
Hello Rabbi!
I am in the process of buying a refrigerator. Some refrigerators have a Shabbat Mehadrin control.
I wanted to know if I have to buy from the Mehadrin Shabbat Command or not? It’s a Sharp refrigerator.
I understand that this refers to opening the door, which lets cold air in and starts the engine. Is this forbidden or just a rule?

Some rabbis allow opening a refrigerator door even though air enters and causes the motor to start. See, for example, here:

There are other things in today's refrigerators that can be a problem besides the thermostat. You have to check each case individually. Some make digital records of openings, and so on.
