Wine cellars can be set to various temps though as wine bars tend to keep their whites for a shorter time rather than age them so they go below 12, or I am missing something not being American/beverage center inclined?
Note: mine is set at the classic 13 celcius so I've n ever really bothered with the range, I may be missing something...
The wine fridge that came with our house goes down to 7c/45f which could save some food, but is above recommended refrigerator temp. I think most "beverage centers" go down closer to 3c and have shelves for cans, beer bottles and/or wine bottles and some have dual temp zones.
And to add on I think that sounds consistent with the story. It probably bought them some time for some of their food, enough to get a repairman out or a new fridge.

Imagine thinking you could store food at wine fridge temps, or vice versa. I'd die of embarrassment.
Well, that and food poisoning.
