I just got done building the aquarium temp controller to get success! It's been up and running great since Sunday, but I came home for lunch today to find my frige draining a ton of water out of the back. The light was on inside, but the compressor wouldn't kick on, and it had gone .5 C above the limit it is set at.
Before I went back to work, the compressor kicked back on and started cooling again, but my concern is that this will continue to be a problem.
Has anyone else encountered this issue, and is there anything that can help prevent this from happenning? The frige is a bit old, but it's been cooling just fine. I'm not sure if the compressor froze up due to the temp controller turning the whole frige on and off repeatidly, or if it's just the damn Texas heat in the garage.
