Also, as far as wiring goes, I cut off the female plug from the thermostat, and wired it to the compressor, bypassing the kegerator's control of the cycling of the compressor.in my case.. my kegerator is a Danby. I cut the red wire just ahead of the circuit breaker, so it still will blow if a problem comes up with the compressor.
I wired the black wire from the thermostat to the red wire, tied the white wires together and grounded the thermostat to the frame of the kegerator. Now the thermostat has total control of the compressor only, and the kegerator has control of the temp display and fan unit. I set the temp to 36 degrees with a differential of 2 degrees. this keeps the temp at 34 - 36 degrees. this setup requires two plugs... one for the thermostat/compressor and one for the kegerator itself.
BEER--- the perfect FOOD!
