I have a bar fridge (well actually a wine cooler) which doesn't get quite as cold as I would like it with the temperature setting maxed out.
I have attached a picture of the thermostat with model #: WDF12B-L, but I can't seem to find much information on it. There are 4 wires connected to it, 1 red, 1 black, 1 green and 1 bare. The green is the ground connected to the metal case. The bare wire goes into the fridge and I believe measures the temperature. And then the black and red I would guess are shorted to turn on the compressor when the temperature is high, and then disconnected when the temperature is low. Is my understanding correct?
So how would I go about increasing the temperature range of this thermostat? I've though of setting up something to bypass it and turn the compressor on for a period of time but I'd like to just be able to adjust the range of the knob down a few degrees.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
