So I went ahead and messed with the stock thermostat the other day on my new kenmore 8.8cuft freezer I'm converting. I've done this a couple of times before with refrigerators to turn them into fermenting fridges. The problem is this freezer seems to drift between 35' and 45'. There is only a couple of 12pks of soda in it right now. Have other people seent his kind of a range??? If it was like 5 degrees I wouldn't care but 10 seems like a lot. Any ideas? Is it because there isn't enough stuff in it? I haven't even put the wood collar on it yet so it's still pretty stock. Also I'm using the same fridge thermometers they use in hospital refrigerators to monitor the temps of Vaccines. Let's just say it's pretty dead nuts on.
