I agree with Brian.

Fridges are designed as insulated boxes to maintain goods at a temperature below ambient.

Because of the insulation, the fridge actually has very little capacity to remove heat. (think how long it takes to cool a bottle of wine. Now remember that the water is constantly being heated.

I don't know if you've ever made too much pasta sauce with the intention of freezing some. I put some pots of bologenese sauce into my freezer and ended up defrosting it because the freezer couldn't cope with the heat I'd just put in.

Mini-fridges are just not suited to the job.
