so i got this sucker for free. says its electrolux commercial unit, built 10/02, so not the most recent but shouldnt be too bad on electricity. ive seen a few other builds that use very similar units, but were different brands. this one is maybe from canada? strange.
anyways, i've seen on other threads that the wire shelves will hold some decent weight, so i was planning on using one, maybe with some support. no need to drill. but then i realized i didnt want the temp probe from the inkbird unit having to run through the door so it turns out maybe i do need to do a little drilling.
but what i'm not sure of is if its ok to drill into the sides or bottom of the freezer. does anybody know? there's a condenser and fan unit in the hump on the back wall, and seems to blow air up the back and out the register at the top.
i would guess all the cooling happens back there, so the side walls should be fine for drilling?
anybody know from experience?
