I have been hooking my ranco up to the garage fridge to do fermenting lately. On my last beer, I did this and the fridge stopped cooling after like 5 days. The light would come on when it got to the right temp but the condenser would not kick in and hence the no cooling.
When in that case, I unplugged the fridge, moved the fermentors back to a water batch and gave the fridge a 24 hour break. I plugged it back in and was working again.
Now I am on another batch, about 5 days in and the same thing although I can't get it to come back on but I am not as patient this time as I have a lager going.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this situation? Any ideas? I am getting fed up with this crappy thing.
