Hey. So I have a chest freezer. It is the magic chef 5.5cf. And I have a love thermostat, which is hooked up to an outlet (Keezer plugged into outlet).
At first my chest reezer was on for about 5 minutes and off for about 14. Then I insulated it and taped it all off now it stays on for about 7 minutes and off for about 24.
What I am wondering is- what can I do to keep the chest freezer on longer, or off longer? I heard with the chest freezer keep turning on and off that it can drastically short the life of the freezer. If there was a way where I could just keep the freezer on all the time at 37 degrees that would be great! But unfortunately I don't think thats an option. Any tips or suggestions I can try to keep my chest freezer lasting as long as possible. I would definately hate to have to start all over with a new freezer, rebuilding the collar and everything. Thanks!!! :rockin:
