Hi,
To prevent fridge freeze up, I'm using a 40 watt "long life" bulb controlled by a Thermocube TC-3 (on at 1.6 C, off at 7.2 c, or 35 f to 45 f) in the exterior compartment.
Clearly for my weather temperature range (down to -40), I'll need to bump the wattage up some what on the bulb. Since it is thermostatically controlled, perhaps a 100 watt "rural service" bulb would be best (130 volts).
Hey Piano,
Have you ever had your fridge freeze? If so, at what temperature?
It seems to me that 40 watts would have a tough time heating what is effectively a chimney. Maybe 100 watts would help, however; instead of heating the air, I wonder if you could heat the copper tubing directly? Just a thought.
