A top-freezer refrigerator typically takes about 12 to 24 hours to reach its optimal cooling temperature after being plugged in. However, the exact time can vary depending on factors like the model, ambient room temperature, and how full the fridge is. It's recommended to wait at least 24 hours before storing perishable food to ensure the refrigerator has reached a safe temperature.
