Surveyor Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I have contacted the manufacturer but he doesn't have any instructions for the unit. Has any one a copy or any information Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get any joy with this I have one here at the mo that just runs the fan inside! sits at room temp! I have one too, and same as m109a3uk, it sits at room temp just circulating the air in side. I thought it was the controller so I swapped that out but still the compressor does not kick in when a lower temp is set. Any insight gratefully received.

Jazz1234 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Hi guys, I’ve solved why mine was not working. The controller was broken! Easy to fix though, just wire up a stc1000 controller from Amazon (£15). Now works a treat. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m109a3uk Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 What was yours doing? This one powers up gauge works but don't get cold!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surveyor Posted October 17, 2020 Author Share Posted October 17, 2020 Have to be honest not even got mine ready to try in storage at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz1234 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Same as yours, turned on with the circulation fan running and displayed the ambient temperature. After much investigation of the controllers menu system I concluded that it had either been locked or was so old/damaged that it needed replacement. I have built control panels for breweries and it’s a very simple wiring circuit inside so it was a simple install of a cheep replacement. Works a treat now! would a photo / wiring diagram help?

Jazz1234 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 m109a3uk it doesn’t sound like your compressor is being triggered. The air circulation fan is on all the time and wired to the on/off switch. the chiller blower is on a separate circuit controlled directly by the temp controller (PID) so if this isn’t kicking in and not getting cold then there is no signal from it to the blower or the compressor. Therefore (same as me) I suggest getting a new controller and experiment with that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m109a3uk Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Will order on and see what it does!! Go for a carel one or just a cheap st 1000?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz1234 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 No need to get anything more expensive for a number of reasons. First they are cheep at £15 and have all the functions / features needed. no point in spending 40 or 50 quid on something and finding it’s the actual fridge that’s broken, you can always by a more expensive one later. also, these STC 1000s have a 10amp relay, to cope with any surge, they have a heating function, and are compatible with the basic NTC temp probe already installed in the fridge. Just wire up as per my photos below - terminal block used as a temporary solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m109a3uk Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Arrived today wired in and working straight away 👍👍👍👍cheers for the heads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz1234 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 That’s great news! I reckon the controllers, or some of them, are locked. Any way good to hear yours is now working. What temperature have you managed to get down too? I’ve only achieved 2 degrees... also, are you using a female circular power connector? If so what is the part number and manufacturer please? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m109a3uk Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Set the temp at 4'c and it sat at that! It has the standard military plug on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump2a Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Just wanted to post a little thank you, just got one of these units and struggling to control the temperature, just ordered a new controller for it - I think you're right in that they are locked to set temperatures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
