where should i go to get a fridge temp controller, the cheapest Ive found is Midwest Brew Supplies for $55. Any suggestions? Thanks
Would one of those round dimmer switches for lighting work? I know you have to have a little trial and error with a thermometer but once you found the sweet spot you could mark it on the dial so you know where to always turn it. I have a portable refrigerator and all the stuff to follow that guide without spending money. Just curious because I'm assuming all your changing is the voltage levels to the appliance.
If it is a peltier-based cooler that plugs into the wall, it might work, but no guarantee here. Otherwise, it will not and you could end up destroying the compressor. These thermostats do not vary the voltage, rather they turn the appliance on and off. A dimmer switch also does not vary the voltage, rather it turns the power off and on 60 or 120 times per second.
No. Wrong. The Johnson regulators cycle the appliance compressor on/off. Do NOT try using a dimmer.Would one of those round dimmer switches for lighting work?
