In the middle of a keezer build. Will post some pics up shortly.
Anyhow, I have been searching the forums and it appears as though the wiring portion is a lot more complicated than it should be. I have no idea why everyone is creating an additional receptacle in/or on the freezer. As far as I can tell, I just need to replace the existing temp controller with my STC-1000. Right?
So here are some pics of the existing controller. The red wire is power IN straight from the wall (through the LED power indicator). Green is a common neutral. The white jacket coming off the back is the temp probe. Which leaves the black as the power OUT to the compressor. Looks pretty straightforward to me. So in order for me to run the STC-1000, can't I simply replace this controller with that mine and run the wires direct? In other words, run that red and green wire to the STC-1000 (1 & 2) and then run a black wire from 8 to the compressor?
And does anyone know if I can drill through the step inside the Freezer directly to the compressor cabin? Anything that I should be concerned about? I'll seal it up after passing the wire through. Just don't know if there are any coolant lines in there.
Thanks!!!
