OT Garage Fridge Issues Solved

Hotch

When it gets cold here, 28-35, the fridge in the garage will not keep things in the freezer frozen, So I installed the "Garage Refrigerator Kit" yesterday. This is a little heating pad you put around the temp adjustment. Knowing that this will falsely raise the temp around the stat, I was wondering where I should set it. Got my Chef Alarm and put the standard probe in the freezer. Once the temp stabilized I turned it off then back on as to reset the hi and low temp readings. Then let it roll for a few hours. Low was a -4 and hi was 7. Next up checking the fridge side.  Let it roll for a few hours. Low was a 36 and hi was 41. So now all I need to do is open more air flow to the fridge. Problem solved. ThermoWorks does it again.

Nice, I may have to do the same soon. You have the details on the "kit"?

Yep, I post the kit shortly. It is for a top freezer type, the cheap ones!
