Ok, so I made a kegerator from a small compact fridge that has its own temp control. This temp control has proven to be unreliable. First of all let me tell you how I converted the fridge. The fridge was one that had a small freezer at the top so like I saw someone else do on here I just moved the freezer part down and shoved it to the back of the fridge and secured it in place. SO basically that acts as a cold plate to cool the fridge as the coolant line is running to it. I have the probe resting against that since it is the coolest part of the fridge. My problem is that the fridge is getting too cold at times and it seems very unreliable the way I am using the fridge temp control. Is there any way that I can make this more reliable? Would taping the probe to the cooling element help? If not, should I get a temperature controller for the fridge? If so, what model is the most economical and can I get one locally without ordering? I know thats a lot of questions but I'm kind of a n00b when it comes to kegging/kegerators. Thanks guys.
