Hoping someone could answer this. I have a True GDM 26 that the specs state is 115/60/1 (voltage) and 7.2 (amps). Can I use this Inkbird ITC-308 controller for this? I don't know what it will draw on start up and I believe the Inkbird is rated to only 10 amps. Will this controller be OK to use and if not is there another option I should consider?

It can work for your device.

This is concerning. Don't many/most freezers/keezers/refrigerators require more than 10A on start up?

If your freezers/keezers/refrigerators are within 10A, ITC-308 can work with it.

Hello! I am now a proud owner of the ITC-308, just have a question.
The chest freezer where it's attached is set at its lowest fridge setting. I need it to be at 65F so it made sense.

I've been monitoring the ITC and it seems to keep the temperature stable enough. I'm only noticing that the compressor in the fridge seems to be running very often, way more often than my regular fridge.

Is this OK? Can this damage the fridge in the long run?

Also, if you can share a couple of tips to better measure the temp. with the probe and a
fermentation heater let me know.
Thanks!

Thanks for your question.

The compressor running is depended on the temperature ambience. If you set the difference value for longer, it will not run often.
