Freezer life when used as beer cooler
I seem to be having my second failure of a chest freezer
used as beer cooler. The failure mode is that the unit runs continuously but doesn't get the temp to drop more than a few degrees. It also seems quieter when running after failure The space it is in in my basement is currently about 55F. The temp controller is a mechanical thermostat with the sensing bulb passing into the unit between the lid gasket and the top of the chest wall. The thermostat controls the power to the compressor through a relay. The temp is usually set to 35-40F. Both units were obtained used for cheap or free, so maybe they were just worn out. They seemed to work fine for awhile. Each lasted a year or so. Has anyone else had similar problems? Is there something that I am doing that is killing the freezers? Bob F |
