Freezer to fridge

[sikadog]

On one of my trips I called in to look what the member on here thought was a monoblock fridge unit, it turned out to be a freezer, I did some wiring on it to get it to work properly.
When I was home I sent him a Danfoss thermostat a basic mechanical one with wiring instructions.
I'm happy to say it now works like a fridge should.

Thanks for that, it's a typical Gram controller, yes it's possible to convert it to a fridge but quite complicated.
Where in Shropshire are you as you are not a long way from me they could be a deal to be done and I will come and do it for you.

Send me a private message if you want and we can go from there.

Hello mate, do you think that this can be converted to a chiller?

 

[sikadog]

Any stand alone freezer can be converted to a fridge, you just have to confuse it to think its a fridge.
The power wire from the original controller to the compressor has to be interupted by a fridge controller to make it think it isn't a freezer. The easiest controller to use is a mechanical controller, the one I use is a Danfoss UT72.
