OK sorry it took so long to get the resistance measurement. I took out my probe from the install and checked it at room temp. I'm reading 11.3K ohms. What is everyone else reading on their probes???.. Thanks again for the help.

I was mixing degree measurements, sorry. When I said -88 degrees i meant Celsius. The next time it misread tempreture it was -14 degrees Celsius as well. "....i checked the temp and it said -88 degrees and apparently had been heating ALL DAY!!!!! Took my beer up to 79 degrees Fahrenheit...

Yep. I made sure the connection was broken. Just to make it clear in case I confused anyone, the heat doesn't come on at the same time as the cooling. The process with switching from heating to cooling works just as it should. The only issue is that the temp should read probably about 65 degrees...

Yeah its directly connected to the controller. The wire could have been pinch or something and giving a random read to give the temp controller such odds results. Maybe moisture in the fridge caused a resistance fault in the wire and stuck the temp controller with and bad read?

Resistance with the wire probe you mean? I can check that. Do you think it may have a fault in the probe wire?

Yes it should be on to heat but why do this temp say -14 degrees Celsius. Thats crazy freezing.

Yeah i double checked the wiring to make sure it was good to go.

So you have seen something like this before then??? I only have a 75 watt infrared bulb in there.

It seems like an error type message but instead of a EE error it supposed to give when there's a short or something it just reads a completely off temp and trys to regulate that with heating until it gets back to what I programmed it to keep the temp at.. so judging by what i just wrote :) i...

The could be it i guess but would a bad temp probe shoot the controller into a drastic measurement like that???

It's the regular SCT 1000 120v so -88 i think is waaaayy off since its in Celsius.

Hey guys, Wondering if anyone has had this issue before with this temp controller. I have my build all set up and had a beer in the fridge fermenter. It was regulating the hot and cold great. Then after two days i checked the temp and it said -88 degrees and apparently had been heating ALL...

It looks like from the bottom of the bump is about 11 1/2 inches Top of the bump about 17 1/2 deep

I had the same issue!! Pain in the ass!! Mine is a GE model # WMR04GAZAB. Looks about 4.4 cu. I Googled it and other fridges come up but mine but I had the same worries about the bump. Just look on Craigslist or something and measure from the bump to the door. Should measure to be enough for a...

First I went to a regular hardware store. Lowes, Ace, etc will work. I got an 8 ft extension cord. ( Cheaper than buying a length of wire plus the plug end to attach) Grab a light bulb fixture. (Found one at Lowes that is relatively small as shown below) Also get a reptile lamp. Mine...

The line was rigid but still kind of bendy, like a light copper or maybe aluminum. I was just careful because when you bend the tray back like I had it will twist or bend the line slightly obviously so i just took my time to watch where the bends happen, where I can make it bend in other places...

I will reply tonight with more pictures and a "how to"

I'm using the same seal the fridge came with. I may decide to add magnet strips to seal it a bit better but it seems to be working as is.

I have fitted the same fridge build now with a heat lamp. I can take more pictures and explain the install a bit better when I get some time and hopefully it will help people with the heat regulation part of fridge builds as I didn't see many tutorials on heat and more on the cooling. Let me...

So this is how i did my fridge this weekend. I thought I would share as it was a bit different than what I have seen on here. I bought a $50 craigslist fridge and decide to use it for Fermentation fridge and also Lager with it. Its a GE black mini fridge (not sure right now which one but if...
