Greetings all! I'm hoping to solicit a bit of advice from you. I searched but didn't really find any applicable thread that answers my question.
My current beer fridge has died and it turned out to be the cold control thermostat. I can either buy a new fridge, buy a new thermostat for $70, or buy a love for $65 and have more control over the fridge.
However, I'm wondering how I would go about wiring this in with a bad cold control thermostat? If I understand it correctly, the cold control thermostat just cuts the power to the compressor when it reaches the set temperature. The thermostat has 2 wires on the back and a ground wire going from the it's case to the fridge. Would I just jumper the 2 wires together (which I'm thinking would be the same as cranking it to 'full cold') and then wire in the love controller as normal? Also, is there a way to keep the interior fridge light with the Love controller?
Thanks for any help you can give!
