Turn down the Thermostat

Hi

Would you say that both lower and turn down work equally well with thermostat?

The water is too cold. You must turn down the thermostat (of your fridge.)

The water is too cold. You must lower the thermostat (of your fridge.)

Thanks,

Tom

Mr. Tom Would you say that both lower and turn down work equally well with thermostat? They both seem OK, but I always use 'turn down the thermostat'.

If something is too cold, wouldn't you want to raise/turn up the thermostat/temperature?
