    I'm a little west of you down I-12, in Ponchatoula. Welcome.

    ITC2000 Wiring

    Great. However, it sounds like you're switching the neutral, which is not best practice. If you want to post for future reference as correct wiring, I would suggest configuring the wiring such that the HOT is switched.

    ITC2000 Wiring

    I think you've got the right idea. I've got to disagree a little on this. Based on the diagram pictured, the ITC2000, unlike its cousin STC, actually passes the HOT AND Neutral from its 110VAC power IN terminals to its "Loading" terminals as a switched HOT and a Neutral. The refrigerator...

    Induction Cooktop (240V 20A) To Dryer Outlet Woes

    My two cents: A quick interweb search came up with no premade adapters. You will need to either swap out the cord of the cooker with this dryer cord or build an adapter cable by adding this 6-20 receptacle to the dryer cord. Both options are with the white wire of the dryer cord not connected...

    Foam in the pour...and I'm out of ideas

    Shook for how long and at what pressure? You could be grossly over-carbonated. Is this a brand new setup? If as you're pouring, there are no bubbles in the beer line then it's likely not QD/poppet/o-ring/keg related. If the CO2 is breaking out of solution at the faucet then not enough...

    Standard-layout fridge: can I take out the floor of the freezer?

    That console can likely be relocated if it's worth the effort. Likely to be not much in there on a low end unit. The biggest issue is the thermostat is likely to have a capillary tube that can not be kinked or cut. It can be bent with care and repositioned if necessary. The other option is...

    Line Length Math Check

    Try this calculator: Determining-proper-hose-length-for-your-kegerator. It's accepted here to be fairly accurate. About 1 foot of 3/16"ID hose per 1psi of serving/carbonation pressure is a common result. Even 20 feet of 5/16"ID line can result in a foamy pour. Also consider that your...

    Keg Problem ... Foam Foam and More Foam!

    I agree with most of what's been posted. My additional two cents: Establish desired serving psi per table and beer style/preference. Equate the carbonation psi to the serving psi. Establish beer line length, using line length calculator linked above, based on carbonation psi. If you're in a...

    Spa Panel Keeps Tripping

    Depending on how the spa input plug is wired and if that green wire is shorted to one of the hot conductors, it would result in the exact situation you are experiencing. It's hard to get a good look at your photos since that image posting website presents them only a little larger than in...

    Spa Panel Keeps Tripping

    It sure seems like this is an input issue. Either the dryer outlet has an issue, although the voltage readings appear fine, or your input cable has a problem. The two photos above are from the two ends of the SAME input cable? Any reason you are using a 4 prong plug/receptacle (NEMA 14-20)...

    STC-1000 went bang

    It could have taken a few seconds for the component to heat up from the overcurrent. If the unit was labeled for 220AC then you likely didn't damage it with the input power. I would guess the voltage is transformed down to 6 to 12 vac, rectified and voltage regulated before being applied to...

    HELP replace refrigerator thermostat with inkbird stc-1000

    That inkbird doesn't wire up the same as a standard STC1000. It looks like you tried a few different configurations. Try this. The wiring in the second photo, from two posts preceding this one, is close but wires need to be moved around. From the white plastic connector: Attach one of the...

    Over Carbonated Keg

    Corrosion maybe?

    Over Carbonated Keg

    I recommend checking the o-ring that should be between the diptube and threaded fitting (under the post) on the keg. If it is leaking CO2 from the headspace into the outgoing beer you can certainly get foam from flat beer.

    Here's That ITC-1000 Hardwire Question Again

    The Fast Freeze switch is a thermostat bypass switch. Turn it on, the blue light illuminates and the thermostat is bypassed.

    Motorized Monster Mill Build

    How's the motor and switch wired? It's possible that the field is not wired correctly and the motor doesn't have enough torque to spin the reducer. I don't use a drum switch on my mill but a quick review indicates that there are at least two different types of drum switches being used here...
