Hi Eric, I don't know what fridge stats cost over there but they are only about

just in case your original one doesn't fit.

Make sure you don't set the temperature range too tight. You don't want the compressor to turn on and off too frequently.

Since I already have a nice digital controller I won't be needing to buy one. But thanks anyway. Eric

So what should the hysteresis be? and suggestions? Thanks, Eric

Says for the fridge it should be between 35 and 40F. So, I'd say a

Thanks for that Jeff. Since this is a mini fridge there is only one compartment, so I can't set more than one temp. Makes life easy. Eric

If you can find the specs for the original thermostat, that would be a good starting point.

I have retrofitted a digital thermostat to my kitchen fridge. After a lot of googling and experimentation, I ended up with the "on" temperature at +4 C, and the "off" temperature at -17 C or so. The sensor is attached to the evaporator in the back of the fridge, so the air will not reach -17 C, of course.

Your fridge will be different. You will have to experiment. The lower temperature needs to be set quite precisely, since the temperature drops quite quickly at first, but very slowly towards the end of the cycle.

Also, remember that the cycle time will be faster with an empty fridge, compared to when it is fully loaded.
