Temperature controller problem

[Randy Ferrell]

I have purchased an Inkbird TC-1000 temp controller. It has ran great for a little over a year. It operates my kegerator in the shed. This fall when temperatures dipped into the 40’s my kegs would freeze. The temp was set to 35, but the kegerator was below zero. The inkbird did not display the red led calling for cold, but it was still running. When I warm up the inkbird with a heat lamp then the cooling stopped. Seems the inkbird is at fault. Don’t know if I should replace with same or upgrade. The TC-1000 is really cheap. Any ideas or observations.

Something wrong. May be more helpful to go directly to Inkbird for troubleshooting.

I tried to send something to them and I don’t think it went through.

What is the rated ambient temperature for the controller?

What is the rated ambient temperature for the controller?

I found out the ambient temp is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s the problem I’m sure. Thanks for your help
