So right now my keezer uses an inkbird single stage temp controller. The probe is in a glass of water on the hump portion of the inside of the keezer and I have the temp set to 39F with a 2deg differential so it kicks on at 41F and kicks off at 39F when it cools back down to this temp and the compressor delay is set to max time.
I've had it set up this way for years however current situations from working from home have made me ponder if this is the best solution for the refrigerator. I think we can all agree that fast cycling of the compressor will damage it quickly and I think I got that covered here but what I'm wondering now is if it better to run the compressor for longer times with a longer time in between cycles as the temp warms back up to 41 or is it better to shorten the times thereby decreasing the kick on differential to say 1degF?
I think in either case, fast cycling of the compressor would not occur however is there also a sweet spot for compressor on time as well?
