Here is my conundrum...
I was lucky enough to purchase a large TurboAir glass door refrigerator that is normally $3800 for $200 used from a local restaurant. It is in perfect working order and just the right side for my cheese and salami cave/lager ferment chamber. It has a digital temp control display, but it only goes up to 39 degrees. I want to keep the unit at 50 to 55 degrees.
I control my other Ferm Chambers with an Inkbird ...but when I called TurboAir to ask them if the constant powering up and down of the entire unit through the controller would damage the unit, they said without a doubt it would. They also do not sell a digital control unit to replace the standard one that would allow for for that increased base temperature.
Does anyone know of a solution to replace an existing built in temperature control unit with an Inkbird or another controller so the entire unit does not need to power up and down to reach that 50ish degree range?
Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
