OK so here it is. I'm attempting the side by side kegerator/ferm chamber build. Now let me start by saying I've probably read every side by side thread I could find. I've researched weeks daily to understand this build inside and out. We'll a fridge fell into my lap and through almost all of my research out the window. I've paid particular attention to the wiring. So here it is. I have a Kenmore Coldspot 106.53632300. As I started taking it apart to begin the build I found that there is only one temperature control. That is for the fridge. And the freezer just controls a damper.
Here is my plan. I have 2 4" computer fans to pull the cold air from the freezer side. Does the second one wire up to the fridge thermostat control the freezer side temp? I'm really confused how this works. I do NOT want to interfere with the defrost circuit at all. I want it to function as normal. I suppose I could just run a Johnson controller to the fridge power line but I want the evap fan to operate like normal as well. Is this possible or am I asking too much? If that is the only answer for it then I want to switch the fridge main power from an ITC so I can have a temp display on the freezer door. I'll run the wiring from the controller and out the side if I have to. Is there anything special. I noticed the ITC's can only switch up to 10amps. The fridge is rated at 6amps so am I good?
Again I'd like to avoid all that and override a thermostat and let the fridge operate normal otherwise.
I attached a pictures to help. I've already contacted Kenmore about schematics and basically they told me to buzz off. Thanks for the help in advance! Cheers!
