How many use wine fridges for storage?

A broken fridge will probably not help you with temperature at all. How well this wine fridge does as a humidor really depends upon the ambient environment around the wine fridge.

If you are able to keep it in a basement or other "coolish" place as others have suggested -- it will do great. Otherwise, you will just have to find out...

Good luck!

Well, I don't have a basement and the coolest place in my house would be my closet. But on a hot day the ambient temp is the same in the closet as it is in my room. I checked the temps in the fridge for a few days, on a day where the temp hits 80F, the fridge stays within 74-75. In my cooler the temps will reach anywhere from 77-79 and on the days it hits 82F my cooler hits around 80-81. I think the fridge is more metal, glass etc. so it stays a little cooler?
