fyi, I think I had to turn my screw in about 4-5 full turns to get it into the proper temp. range.

As an FYI, I have to turn the screw clockwise to increase the temperature in my Whirlpool freezer. I'm still trying to hit the right temp setting.

I can see where the screw needs to go, but I am not sure I can get it to screw back in again.

Your freezer may have a compressor delay which prevents it from cycling on too often. If you can get the screw back in you may have to try the old trial and error method over several days to get the temp where you want it. Hope you can get the screw back in and get it figured out.

I've been to your Wawa a number of times! Best fake cappuccinos in the world (in like 1997.. lol)

Got my temp controller in the mail, but I am going to try this out on my kenmore 8.8

Tried twice with my holiday and it is setting at 46 right now. The screw is on the bottom under the sticker and I ended up turning mine clockwise. Just need to fine tune now. Guess I will us my aquarium controller on a fermentation chamber. Thanks for the heads up.

This is fantastic info! I'm in the process of finding a unit on CL...

So far no luck on my small GE. Turned it in all the way and the compressor was still running after I plugged it in. I'm now afraid to go counter-clockwise too much for fear of unscrewing the thing completely. Thoughts anyone?

Was it already cold? I found that you need to turn a couple turns, plug it in, then let it sit about two - three hours to equalize. I'm on day three of adjusting but i think i have it dialed in to where I want.

Added pictures. I've got the GE 5cf model.
