Well I cycled the power to it, and it came on and started running. but its set at 41 and the control panel is still DOA. I used a thermometer last night to check it, and its poring 49 degree beer. not exactly cold. but it is cooling. I wasnt able to get by the radio shack last night, so I am going on lunch break today. If I can get an assortment of resistors, i was thinking of starting with the 33K ohm, and moving up from there. Since I'm stuck at the 41 degree setting, prolly need to go smaller though. I have tried to call Damnby several times now, and keep getting hung up on. I will keep trying though, maybe they can just send me a new control panel. its not the circuit board, it is the touch keys that are inop, but I think there is an undrlying bigger problem too. Otherwise it would not have been reading 37 and been 65.thanks to all of you for all your advice and suggestions. I have pretty much decided to try the "non-destructive" mods first, and at least try to preserve whats left of my warranty (if keeping it outside hasnt already voided it). One other thing, I was looking at the schematic last night, and the temp sensor plugs intop the control board. I think that is where I am gonna put my resistor, leave the temp probe in the ******* location and add a seconday thermometer in a mason jar of water to monitor liquid temp. I have a remote probe digital thermometer for cooking that reads down to 32 degrees.
