Yep I just got back from hardware store with some new tubing and some connectors. I always spend hours trying to fit connector "A" into connector "B" and then into hose "C". Useually at the end when I come to the grand conclusion of the part I need i go to grab the bag and it's out. Of course it is the only one that is out. But that is another story.
Yeah, what you say about moving the thermistor is a good idea, but it is installed inside of the tank. I should be able to remove it but don't want to damage the seal of the unit just yet. I used a fan controller thermistor in it's place but the unit gave me an error message. By chance both thermistors had the exact same connector and two wires. I know that normal thermistors have no polarity but not sure about the one in use.
I think if I can get the compressor to run long enough it will provide the cooling I need. I just need to find a way to mod it to stay cooler. I could simply force the unit to stay on all the time but that would likely cut down on the operating life. Then again it would give me max cooling. hmmmmm
The picture below show's a pelt and temp controller. These sell on ebay for about 15 bucks. The temp controller is very similer to the one in the chiller. The difference being this one has no built in display. I might be able to hook this up to the chiller, then leave the original one intstalled for display purposes. Then i will get an extra pelt to use for cooling my many half drank cans of beer!!
If it doesn't work I can always use it for something. ack this is how the process of waisting money begins!
edit...Scratch that idea. That temp control unit has a 30 C cut off.
