I know this seems to get brought up all the time, but I'm worried my homemade keezer is cycling too often. I think it's a 5 or 7 cu ft freezer, without any external modifications (I just ran two wires in under the lid and gasket). I'm using a temperature probe that's hanging and measuring the air temp and I have a small fan inside to hopefully circulate the air.
Below is the temperature graph over time, points are roughly each 10 min apart. It cycles about once per hour. The keezer is essentially empty right now, which definitely increases how often it cycles, but I'm worried.
The temperature can increase more than 1.5°F in ten minutes and that it takes ~25 min to cool back down.
How is it heating up so fast? I don't think the deal is bad, because I didn't modify the outside at all, and the gasket is only interrupted by two small wires.
Should I be worried, or is the empty keezer and the fact I'm measuring air temp the real explanations?
