I've got my first lager in the fridge right now, and the temperature controls seemed to be working like a charm. I have the fridge set on its lowest setting, and I had just gotten the exterior controls set down to 33°F.
I took a nap after setting it from 35 to 33, and when I woke up, the controls read 44°F. After checking and rechecking both settings, I felt the coils on the back of the fridge to see if it might be in heating mode. By this point, the temp had risen to 47°F. The coils were hot, which would lead me to believe that the fridge had initiated its own defrost cycle. Is this the case?
I set the controls to 40°F, and so far, it's down to 43 again. Is there a way to override the defrost system? Would taking out the defrost timer or some other part do this, or is it more complicated? Thanks a bunch
