HELP!!!!

So, I plugged the fridge in... and the RH went from 69 to 74% in a matter of 2 hours!!! The temp did drop from 67 to 62, so I know the cooling is working.

Im thinking this is from the intake pulling in the ambient air in the basement, which is fairly damp. I do have a dehumidifier in the room, but Im not sure how well it works.

Can I expect/hope that the humi will stabilize and come down in RH with the unit running for a while? If so, how long will this take? Will my stash survive? Should I give up now and unplug it???

If my cigars explode from a bit humidity spike, I will cry. I will, I swear.

HELP PLEASE!!!
