Gentlemen,
I have been a longtime lurker on the forums and really do not like posting to forums to build my post count, only comments that add to the knowledgebase.
I purchased a freezer from CL and want to replace the thermostat with a PID/SSR. I had it set up as a simple on/off control but I want to the fans and light to still function when the compressor is not running. I thought this would be a simple fix, replace the thermostat with the PID/SSR setup and it would work. But once I started drawing out what was happening in the freezer before I started wiring, I could see this was getting well out of my league.
Electronics gurus, I need your help. Below is the current wiring schematic for my freezer and the PID/SSR. I know this has been done countless times, but I cannot figure this one out. Thanks in advance gents. I WILL post the final solution in the form of a wiring schematic.
