I have been following this thread for some time and have a fridge with a 37 ohm heating element.
I have an idea to reduce the voltage that feeds the heating element and would like to get some input as to its validity.
I want to place a light dimmer switch in the AC lines leading to the heating element so that I can dial in the Voltage that would control the wattage to 325. This dimmer switch has a rotating dial and is rated for 600 watts at a cost of $5. I would also install a volt meter permently for ease of control. My major exposure is with running on my generator which puts out 125 volts.
Thanks, FrankM
