The top shelf
The top shelf can be warmer than the lower shelves. My theory is heat rises so when you are opening and closing the refrigerator door, heat comes in. I use my top shelf to defrost food quicker and I put overflow fruit up there so it’s not as cold and lasts longer. If you get a refrigerator thermometer, you could check the various temperatures at each shelf level. It could also be used to see what your actual temperature is in the refrigerator. The temperature on the door does not mean that is the temperature inside the refrigerator. I put milk, alternative milks, and meats on the lowest shelf so they are colder.
