Wife bought a new fridge/freezer. I was gifted the old one to put in the garage . She retained use of the freezer for her carnivorous tendencies. I was to be granted the capacious fridge top for lagering. Bought a temp controller. As instructed, sought the help of a professional to safely wire it in. He tells me that there is only one compressor and it is not possible to independently control the fridge alone. I note that both fridge and freezer have their own on/off switches and therefore must be on separate circuits but able to call on the compressor individually when required by suitable secondary circuits. I am advised by the prof. that purchase of a separate fridge will be required. In my pre-retirement profession , it was often a wise precaution to seek a second opinion before proceeding. The presence of numerous pipes at the rear of the machine confirms that it is of the correct type. Can anyone with the relevant experience of such a combination please assist me in giving a definitive answer.
