Gonna try something new with the replacement fridge.
I bought a chest freezer. Yeah i know. Makes no sense. But…
vertical refrigerators are about the worst possible design. every time you open the door, all of the stored energy in the form of cold spills out onto the floor and dissipates. Then your fridge has to cool the entire interior again, when the door closes. A horizontal chest shape however, keeps all of the cold in place, because the cold air inside is heavier than the ambient air.
So to turn a chest freezer into a chest fridge, you run the power supply through a secondary thermostat, which cuts the power to the freezer, when it reaches fridge temps. when the temp rises, it turns the power back on.
we’ll see how it goes…
