My understanding is there are two thermostats: one for turning the compressor on and off and one for opening and closing a damper.
Not sure if they'd both have the coarse adjustment screw.
Frigidaire 7.2 cu ft Chest Freezer
I just got this freezer. On page 7 of this thread someone posted this exact model and showed a picture of the temperature screw. Mine is slightly different as there is no tape covering anything and I looked on the side of it as well and couldnt find anything. Anyone make anything out from this picture?
There is a notch on the top that prevents this thread from being turned more than a rotation either way. I cannot figure out if the screw is under that 'plate' or not and if so how do I get to it.
Did you ever figure this out? I just posted about this above.
EDIT* In that picture above, I believe that gray "bump" sticking out at the bottom of the picture is the course screw. I was turning last night and found it to make the compressor stop. Counter clockwise will raise the temperature on this one. I'm still not sure why this has changed from the previous control shown on page 7? My freezer was manufacture in August of this year.
Update on mine:
This mod worked great for about a year, then I went to get a beer one day.... And found 3 frozen kegs!
Not sure how it overrode the dial, but it sure did. I just rotated it back to original position and use it as a freezer.
:-(
Have you recently moved your freezer then this happened (level makes a difference)? If not the thermostat is probably bad.
Are you measuring air temperature in the kegerator or the actual beer temperature when you say that it's too cold? Can you see the thermostat probe or does it appear to be inserted into the evaporator coil?I've taken a photo of the thermostat in my True keggerator (attached). I've been able to find a coarse adjustment on two other freezers I have, but have been unsuccessful locating one on this. The thermostat is manufactured by Danfoss, and is set just a little too cold for my liking. Can anyone verify that this model of thermostat has a coarse adjustment on it?
Do you think this would work to LOWER the temperature in my Danby DBC120BLS? It's definitely not getting cold enough.

My last keezer was "adjusted" doing this method.. I finally spent the $75 and got a JC... much less hassle..
How is installing the Johnson controller less hassle than turning a screw? Sorry to troll...but I had to say something...

Let's see.. push a couple buttons and plug stuff in vs. spending a week or more tweaking a screw (which involved pulling everything out of the keezer so I could move it to access the screw).
Yeah.. I can see how that's MUCH easier.
Johnson controller is an advanced install. Splicing wires is harder than turning a screw.
My Johnson controller was set, plug in, go. No wire splicing. I didn't have to find my screwdriver - that would be a hassle!!
