If you were suggesting a refrigerator to run the cooling in the night so much so that it'd be able to sustain a safe temperature for many hours while conserving energy in the day, then yes, you were suggesting making it so cold as to damage food - a few degrees difference isn't sufficient to achieve what you want, and if your temperature fluctuates more than 3-4 degrees then the food either gets unsafely warm or gets frozen/damaged.
