Digital Fridge/Freezer Thermostat on Hunter 376

[jmarty32]

Hi, I just purchased a 376 and saw many posts raving about adding a digital thermostat to the fridge. Although install seems simple i am a little confused as to where the thermostat gets connected to since i have a spill over fridge freezer combo. i believe that the fridge thermostat turns the fan on and off in the box.

Thanks, in advance for anyone's help.

The fridge thermostat (and spillover fan) are only active when the freezer compressor is operating.

The digital thermostat has 4 wires. 2 for power and 2 to control the call for "cold". You'd have to tap into the wires that run between the spillover fan and the refrigerator thermostat.

The freezer thermostat wires are easy to get to on the compressor control board.
